Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are swept away, while no one considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil.
義人死去，沒有人放在心上；虔誠的人被收去，沒有人予以注意：義人被接去，是為了脫離災難，
2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.
而進入安息；躬行正直的人，將安眠於自己的處所。
3 “But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
巫女的兒子，姦婦淫女的後裔，你們近前來！
4 Whom are you mocking? At whom do you snarl and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,
你們戲謔誰呢﹖你們向誰張口吐舌呢﹖不是你們這些反叛的兒子，不忠的後裔，
5 who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
在橡樹林中，在一切綠樹下慾火中燒；在山谷中，在磐石的夾縫裏祭殺嬰兒嗎﹖
6 Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?
山谷中的光石竟是你的家產，它們竟成了你的產業；並且你還給它們奠了酒，獻了供物，對這些事我豈能容忍﹖
7 On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.
在巍峨高聳的山上，你安置了你的床榻，並且上那裏去奉獻犧牲。
8 Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.
你在門和門框後安置了你的記號，瞞著我裸體上了床，舖開了你的床榻，你喜歡與誰同寢，便與他茍合，且看了他的手。
9 You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself. (Sheol h7585)
你擦滿了香膏，加多了香料，往摩肋客那裏去，又遣發使者到遠方去，你甚至深入了陰間。 (Sheol h7585)
10 You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.
你因路途遙遠，已感疲倦，但總不說：「絕望了！」因為你找著了你新生的力量，所以你不覺困乏。
11 Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?
你害怕誰，畏懼誰，竟使你失去忠信，而不懷念我，不關心我﹖難道因為我久不作聲，你就不怕我了嗎﹖
12 I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.
我要披露你的義舉，以及與你毫無裨益的行為。
13 When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”
當你呼求時，讓你那一夥救你罷！但是一陣風要把它們全部捲走，一口氣要把他們吹去。唯有那依賴我的，將承受地業，繼承我的聖山。
14 And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
有個聲音說：「修路，修路！把路修平，把我民族道路上的障礙除去！」
15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.
因為至高者，卓越者，居於永遠者，名為聖者的這樣說：「我雖居於高處及聖所，但我也與懺悔和心靈謙卑的人在一起，為振奮謙卑者的心情，甦醒懺悔者的心靈。
16 For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me, with the breath of those I have made.
我不願永遠爭辯，也不願永久發怒，因為生氣是由我而出，靈魂是由我而造。
17 I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.
因了她的罪惡我一時發怒，打擊了她，在怒氣中掩住我的面；可是她仍背叛，走她隨心所欲的道路。
18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,
我看見了她的行為，我要醫治她，我要引她回來，將安慰賜給她和她的憂傷者。
19 bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”
在他們的口唇上安放讚頌之辭：「平安，平安歸於遠近的人 ！」上主說。【我要醫好她。】
20 But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.
但惡人將如翻騰的大海，不能平息，它的海浪捲起黃土與淤泥。
21 “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
我的天主說：惡人決無平安！
