Isaiah 29
1 Woe to you, O Ariel, the city of Ariel where David camped! Year upon year let your festivals recur.
唉！亚利伊勒，亚利伊勒， 大卫安营的城， 任凭你年上加年， 节期照常周流。
2 And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.
我终必使亚利伊勒困难； 她必悲伤哀号， 我却仍以她为亚利伊勒。
3 I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.
我必四围安营攻击你， 屯兵围困你， 筑垒攻击你。
4 You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.
你必败落，从地中说话； 你的言语必微细出于尘埃。 你的声音必像那交鬼者的声音出于地； 你的言语低低微微出于尘埃。
5 But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,
你仇敌的群众，却要像细尘； 强暴人的群众，也要像飞糠。 这事必顷刻之间忽然临到。
6 you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.
万军之耶和华必用雷轰、地震、大声、旋风、暴风， 并吞灭的火焰，向她讨罪。
7 All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel— even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her— will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,
那时，攻击亚利伊勒列国的群众， 就是一切攻击亚利伊勒和她的保障， 并使她困难的， 必如梦景，如夜间的异象；
8 as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.
又必像饥饿的人梦中吃饭， 醒了仍觉腹空； 或像口渴的人梦中喝水， 醒了仍觉发昏，心里想喝。 攻击锡安山列国的群众也必如此。
9 Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink.
你们等候惊奇吧！ 你们宴乐昏迷吧！ 他们醉了，却非因酒； 他们东倒西歪，却非因浓酒。
10 For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.
因为耶和华将沉睡的灵浇灌你们， 封闭你们的眼， 蒙盖你们的头。 你们的眼就是先知； 你们的头就是先见。
11 And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”
所有的默示，你们看如封住的书卷，人将这书卷交给识字的，说：“请念吧！”他说：“我不能念，因为是封住了。”
12 Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”
又将这书卷交给不识字的人，说：“请念吧！”他说：“我不识字。”
13 Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.
主说：因为这百姓亲近我， 用嘴唇尊敬我， 心却远离我； 他们敬畏我， 不过是领受人的吩咐。
14 Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”
所以，我在这百姓中要行奇妙的事， 就是奇妙又奇妙的事。 他们智慧人的智慧必然消灭， 聪明人的聪明必然隐藏。
15 Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”
祸哉！那些向耶和华深藏谋略的， 又在暗中行事，说： 谁看见我们呢？ 谁知道我们呢？
16 You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?
你们把事颠倒了， 岂可看窑匠如泥吗？ 被制作的物岂可论制作物的说： 他没有制作我？ 或是被创造的物论造物的说： 他没有聪明？
17 In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?
黎巴嫩变为肥田， 肥田看如树林， 不是只有一点点时候吗？
18 On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
那时，聋子必听见这书上的话； 瞎子的眼必从迷蒙黑暗中得以看见。
19 The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
谦卑人必因耶和华增添欢喜； 人间贫穷的必因以色列的圣者快乐。
20 For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down—
因为，强暴人已归无有， 亵慢人已经灭绝， 一切找机会作孽的都被剪除。
21 those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.
他们在争讼的事上定无罪的为有罪， 为城门口责备人的设下网罗， 用虚无的事屈枉义人。
22 Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.
所以，救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华 论雅各家如此说： 雅各必不再羞愧， 面容也不致变色。
23 For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
但他看见他的众子， 就是我手的工作在他那里， 他们必尊我的名为圣， 必尊雅各的圣者为圣， 必敬畏以色列的 神。
24 Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”
心中迷糊的必得明白； 发怨言的必受训诲。
