< 以賽亞書 66 >
1 耶和華如此說: 天是我的座位; 地是我的腳凳。 你們要為我造何等的殿宇? 哪裏是我安息的地方呢?
Thus said Jehovah: The heavens [are] My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where [is] this — the house that ye build for Me? And where [is] this — the place — My rest?
2 耶和華說:這一切都是我手所造的, 所以就都有了。 但我所看顧的, 就是虛心痛悔、 因我話而戰兢的人。
And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are, An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.
3 假冒為善的宰牛,好像殺人, 獻羊羔,好像打折狗項, 獻供物,好像獻豬血, 燒乳香,好像稱頌偶像。 這等人揀選自己的道路, 心裏喜悅行可憎惡的事。
Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present — The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.
4 我也必揀選迷惑他們的事, 使他們所懼怕的臨到他們; 因為我呼喚,無人答應; 我說話,他們不聽從; 反倒行我眼中看為惡的, 揀選我所不喜悅的。
I also — I fix on their vexations, And their fears I bring in to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spake, and they have not hearkened, And they do the evil things in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not — fixed.
5 你們因耶和華言語戰兢的人當聽他的話: 你們的弟兄-就是恨惡你們, 因我名趕出你們的,曾說: 願耶和華得榮耀, 使我們得見你們的喜樂; 但蒙羞的究竟是他們!
Hear a word of Jehovah, Ye who are trembling unto His word, Said have your brethren who are hating you, Who are driving you out, for My name's sake: 'Honoured is Jehovah, and we look on your joy,' But they are ashamed.
6 有喧嘩的聲音出自城中! 有聲音出於殿中! 是耶和華向仇敵施行報應的聲音!
A voice of noise [is] from the city, a voice from the temple, The voice of Jehovah, giving recompence to His enemies.
Before she is pained she hath brought forth, Before a pang cometh to her, She hath delivered a male.
8 國豈能一日而生? 民豈能一時而產? 因為錫安一劬勞便生下兒女, 這樣的事誰曾聽見? 誰曾看見呢?
Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath borne her sons.
9 耶和華說:我既使她臨產, 豈不使她生產呢? 你的上帝說:我既使她生產, 豈能使她閉胎不生呢?
'Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?' saith Jehovah, 'Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,' said thy God.
10 你們愛慕耶路撒冷的 都要與她一同歡喜快樂; 你們為她悲哀的 都要與她一同樂上加樂;
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning for her,
11 使你們在她安慰的懷中吃奶得飽, 使他們得她豐盛的榮耀, 猶如擠奶,滿心喜樂。
So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her honour.
12 耶和華如此說: 我要使平安延及她,好像江河, 使列國的榮耀延及她,如同漲溢的河。 你們要從中享受; 你們必蒙抱在肋旁,搖弄在膝上。
For thus said Jehovah: 'Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on the knees ye are dandled.
13 母親怎樣安慰兒子,我就照樣安慰你們; 你們也必因耶路撒冷得安慰。
As one whom his mother comforteth, so do I comfort you, Yea, in Jerusalem ye are comforted.
14 你們看見,就心中快樂; 你們的骨頭必得滋潤像嫩草一樣; 而且耶和華的手向他僕人所行的必被人知道; 他也要向仇敵發惱恨。
And ye have seen, and rejoiced hath your heart, And your bones as tender grass do flourish, And the hand of Jehovah hath been known unto His servants, And He hath been indignant with His enemies.
15 看哪,耶和華必在火中降臨; 他的車輦像旋風, 以烈怒施行報應, 以火焰施行責罰;
For, lo, Jehovah in fire cometh, And as a hurricane His chariots, To refresh in fury His anger, And His rebuke in flames of fire.
16 因為耶和華在一切有血氣的人身上, 必以火與刀施行審判; 被耶和華所殺的必多。
For by fire and by His sword, Doth Jehovah do judgment with all flesh. And many have been Jehovah's pierced ones.'
17 「那些分別為聖、潔淨自己的,進入園內跟在其中一個人的後頭,吃豬肉和倉鼠並可憎之物,他們必一同滅絕;這是耶和華說的。
Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves at the gardens, After Ahad in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the mouse, Together are consumed, An affirmation of Jehovah.
18 「我知道他們的行為和他們的意念。時候將到,我必將萬民萬族聚來,看見我的榮耀,
And I — their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour.
19 我要顯神蹟在他們中間。逃脫的,我要差到列國去,就是到他施、普勒、拉弓的路德和土巴、雅完,並素來沒有聽見我名聲、沒有看見我榮耀遼遠的海島;他們必將我的榮耀傳揚在列國中。
And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off, ) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations.
20 他們必將你們的弟兄從列國中送回,使他們或騎馬,或坐車,坐轎,騎騾子,騎獨峰駝,到我的聖山耶路撒冷,作為供物獻給耶和華,好像以色列人用潔淨的器皿盛供物奉到耶和華的殿中;這是耶和華說的。
And they have brought all your brethren out of all the nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah.
21 耶和華說:我也必從他們中間取人為祭司,為利未人。」
And also of them I take for priests, For Levites, said Jehovah.
22 耶和華說:我所要造的新天新地, 怎樣在我面前長存; 你們的後裔和你們的名字也必照樣長存。
For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah! So remain doth your seed and your name.
23 每逢月朔、安息日, 凡有血氣的必來在我面前下拜。 這是耶和華說的。
And it hath been from month to month, And from sabbath to sabbath, Come do all flesh to bow themselves before Me, Said Jehovah.
24 他們必出去觀看那些違背我人的屍首; 因為他們的蟲是不死的; 他們的火是不滅的; 凡有血氣的都必憎惡他們。
And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcases of the men Who are transgressing against me, For their worm dieth not, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!
