Isaiah 30
1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.
耶和华说： 祸哉！这悖逆的儿女。 他们同谋，却不由于我， 结盟，却不由于我的灵， 以致罪上加罪；
2 They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
起身下埃及去，并没有求问我； 要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量， 并投在埃及的荫下。
3 But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.
所以，法老的力量必作你们的羞辱； 投在埃及的荫下，要为你们的惭愧。
4 For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
他们的首领已在琐安； 他们的使臣到了哈内斯。
5 everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”
他们必因那不利于他们的民蒙羞。 那民并非帮助，也非利益， 只作羞耻凌辱。
6 This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
论南方牲畜的默示： 他们把财物驮在驴驹的脊背上， 将宝物驮在骆驼的肉鞍上， 经过艰难困苦之地， 就是公狮、母狮、蝮蛇、火焰的飞龙之地， 往那不利于他们的民那里去。
7 Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
埃及的帮助是徒然无益的； 所以我称她为“坐而不动的拉哈伯”。
8 Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.
现今你去， 在他们面前将这话刻在版上， 写在书上， 以便传留后世，直到永永远远。
9 These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
因为他们是悖逆的百姓、说谎的儿女， 不肯听从耶和华训诲的儿女。
10 They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
他们对先见说：不要望见不吉利的事， 对先知说：不要向我们讲正直的话； 要向我们说柔和的话， 言虚幻的事。
11 Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
你们要离弃正道，偏离直路， 不要在我们面前再提说以色列的圣者。
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,
所以，以色列的圣者如此说： 因为你们藐视这训诲的话， 倚赖欺压和乖僻，以此为可靠的，
13 this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!
故此，这罪孽在你们身上， 好像将要破裂凸出来的高墙， 顷刻之间忽然坍塌；
14 It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”
要被打碎，好像把窑匠的瓦器打碎， 毫不顾惜， 甚至碎块中找不到一片可用以从炉内取火， 从池中舀水。
15 For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence— but you were not willing.”
主耶和华—以色列的圣者曾如此说： 你们得救在乎归回安息； 你们得力在乎平静安稳； 你们竟自不肯。
16 “No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
你们却说：不然，我们要骑马奔走。 所以你们必然奔走； 又说：我们要骑飞快的牲口。 所以追赶你们的，也必飞快。
17 A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
一人叱喝，必令千人逃跑； 五人叱喝，你们都必逃跑； 以致剩下的，好像山顶的旗杆， 冈上的大旗。
18 Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
耶和华必然等候，要施恩给你们； 必然兴起，好怜悯你们。 因为耶和华是公平的 神； 凡等候他的都是有福的！
19 O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.
百姓必在锡安、在耶路撒冷居住；你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的声音施恩给你；他听见的时候就必应允你。
20 The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.
主虽然以艰难给你当饼，以困苦给你当水，你的教师却不再隐藏；你眼必看见你的教师。
21 And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”
你或向左或向右，你必听见后边有声音说：“这是正路，要行在其间。”
22 So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
你雕刻偶像所包的银子和铸造偶像所镀的金子，你要玷污，要抛弃，好像污秽之物，对偶像说：“去吧！”
23 Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.
你将种子撒在地里，主必降雨在其上，并使地所出的粮肥美丰盛。到那时，你的牲畜必在宽阔的草场吃草。
24 The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
耕地的牛和驴驹必吃加盐的料；这料是用木杴和杈子扬净的。
25 And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.
在大行杀戮的日子，高台倒塌的时候，各高山冈陵必有川流河涌。
26 The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.
当耶和华缠裹他百姓的损处，医治他民鞭伤的日子，月光必像日光，日光必加七倍，像七日的光一样。
27 Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.
看哪，耶和华的名从远方来， 怒气烧起，密烟上腾。 他的嘴唇满有忿恨； 他的舌头像吞灭的火。
28 His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.
他的气如涨溢的河水，直涨到颈项， 要用毁灭的筛箩筛净列国， 并且在众民的口中必有使人错行的嚼环。
29 You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
你们必唱歌，像守圣节的夜间一样，并且心中喜乐，像人吹笛，上耶和华的山，到以色列的磐石那里。
30 And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.
耶和华必使人听他威严的声音，又显他降罚的膀臂和他怒中的忿恨，并吞灭的火焰与霹雷、暴风、冰雹。
31 For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.
亚述人必因耶和华的声音惊惶；耶和华必用杖击打他。
32 And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.
耶和华必将命定的杖加在他身上；每打一下，人必击鼓弹琴。打杖的时候，耶和华必抡起手来，与他交战。
33 For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.
原来陀斐特又深又宽，早已为王预备好了；其中堆的是火与许多木柴。耶和华的气如一股硫磺火使他着起来。
