以賽亞書 1
1 當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大王的時候，亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示，論到猶大和耶路撒冷。
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 天哪，要聽！地啊，側耳而聽！ 因為耶和華說： 我養育兒女，將他們養大， 他們竟悖逆我。
Hear, [ye] heavens, and give ear, [thou] earth! for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children; and they have rebelled against me.
3 牛認識主人， 驢認識主人的槽， 以色列卻不認識； 我的民卻不留意。
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; Israel doth not know, my people hath no intelligence.
4 嗐！犯罪的國民， 擔着罪孽的百姓； 行惡的種類， 敗壞的兒女！ 他們離棄耶和華， 藐視以色列的聖者， 與他生疏，往後退步。
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that corrupt themselves! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; they are turned away backward.
5 你們為甚麼屢次悖逆， 還要受責打嗎？ 你們已經滿頭疼痛， 全心發昏。
Why should ye be smitten any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 從腳掌到頭頂， 沒有一處完全的， 盡是傷口、青腫，與新打的傷痕， 都沒有收口，沒有纏裹， 也沒有用膏滋潤。
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in him; wounds, and weals, and open sores: they have not been dressed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.
7 你們的地土已經荒涼； 你們的城邑被火焚毀。 你們的田地在你們眼前為外邦人所侵吞， 既被外邦人傾覆就成為荒涼。
Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers eat it up in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 僅存錫安城， 好像葡萄園的草棚， 瓜田的茅屋， 被圍困的城邑。
And the daughter of Zion is left, as a booth in a vineyard, as a night-lodge in a cucumber-garden, as a besieged city.
9 若不是萬軍之耶和華給我們稍留餘種， 我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉的樣子了。
Unless Jehovah of hosts had left us a very small residue, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 你們這所多瑪的官長啊， 要聽耶和華的話！ 你們這蛾摩拉的百姓啊， 要側耳聽我們上帝的訓誨！
Hear the word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah!
11 耶和華說： 你們所獻的許多祭物與我何益呢？ 公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油， 我已經夠了； 公牛的血，羊羔的血，公山羊的血， 我都不喜悅。
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure.
12 你們來朝見我， 誰向你們討這些， 使你們踐踏我的院宇呢？
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand — to tread my courts?
13 你們不要再獻虛浮的供物。 香品是我所憎惡的； 月朔和安息日，並宣召的大會， 也是我所憎惡的； 作罪孽，又守嚴肅會， 我也不能容忍。
Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me, — new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations — wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.
14 你們的月朔和節期，我心裏恨惡， 我都以為麻煩； 我擔當，便不耐煩。
Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing [them].
15 你們舉手禱告，我必遮眼不看； 就是你們多多地祈禱，我也不聽。 你們的手都滿了殺人的血。
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 你們要洗濯、自潔， 從我眼前除掉你們的惡行， 要止住作惡，
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; — cease to do evil,
17 學習行善， 尋求公平， 解救受欺壓的； 給孤兒伸冤， 為寡婦辨屈。
learn to do well: seek judgment, gladden the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 耶和華說： 你們來，我們彼此辯論。 你們的罪雖像硃紅，必變成雪白； 雖紅如丹顏，必白如羊毛。
Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 你們若甘心聽從， 必吃地上的美物，
If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;
20 若不聽從，反倒悖逆， 必被刀劍吞滅。 這是耶和華親口說的。
but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
21 可歎，忠信的城變為妓女！ 從前充滿了公平， 公義居在其中， 現今卻有兇手居住。
How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness used to lodge in it, but now murderers.
22 你的銀子變為渣滓； 你的酒用水攙對。
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is mixed with water:
23 你的官長居心悖逆， 與盜賊作伴， 各都喜愛賄賂， 追求贓私。 他們不為孤兒伸冤； 寡婦的案件也不得呈到他們面前。
thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them.
24 因此，主－萬軍之耶和華、 以色列的大能者說： 哎！我要向我的對頭雪恨， 向我的敵人報仇。
Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.
25 我必反手加在你身上， 煉盡你的渣滓， 除淨你的雜質。
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy;
26 我也必復還你的審判官，像起初一樣， 復還你的謀士，像起先一般。 然後，你必稱為公義之城， 忠信之邑。
and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning. Afterwards thou shalt be called, Town of righteousness, Faithful city.
27 錫安必因公平得蒙救贖； 其中歸正的人必因公義得蒙救贖。
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and they that return of her with righteousness.
28 但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同敗亡； 離棄耶和華的必致消滅。
But the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together; and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
29 那等人必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧； 你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞。
For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths that ye have desired, and ye shall blush for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 因為，你們必如葉子枯乾的橡樹， 好像無水澆灌的園子。
For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 有權勢的必如麻瓤； 他的工作好像火星， 都要一同焚毀，無人撲滅。
And the strong shall be for tow, and his work a spark; and they shall both burn together, and there shall be none to quench [them].
