Isaiah 33
1 Ho! you who make waste those who did not make you waste; acting falsely to those who were not false to you. When you have come to an end of wasting, you will be made waste, and after your false acts, they will do the same to you.
禍哉！你這毀滅人的， 自己倒不被毀滅； 行事詭詐的， 人倒不以詭詐待你。 你毀滅罷休了， 自己必被毀滅； 你行完了詭詐， 人必以詭詐待你。
2 O Lord, have mercy on us; for we have been waiting for your help: be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble.
耶和華啊，求你施恩於我們； 我們等候你。 求你每早晨作我們的膀臂， 遭難的時候為我們的拯救。
3 At the loud noise the peoples have gone in flight; at your coming up the nations have gone in all directions.
喧嚷的響聲一發，眾民奔逃； 你一興起，列國四散。
4 And the goods taken in war will be got together like the massing of young locusts; men will be rushing on them like the rushing of locusts.
你們所擄的必被斂盡， 好像螞蚱吃盡禾稼。 人要蹦在其上，好像蝗蟲一樣。
5 The Lord is lifted up; his place is on high: he has made Zion full of righteousness and true religion.
耶和華被尊崇，因他居在高處； 他以公平公義充滿錫安。
6 And she will have no more fear of change, being full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is her wealth.
你一生一世必得安穩－ 有豐盛的救恩， 並智慧和知識； 你以敬畏耶和華為至寶。
7 See, the men of war are sorrowing outside the town: those who came looking for peace are weeping bitterly.
看哪，他們的豪傑在外頭哀號； 求和的使臣痛痛哭泣。
8 The highways are waste, no man is journeying there: the agreement is broken, he has made sport of the towns, he has no thought for man.
大路荒涼，行人止息； 敵人背約， 藐視城邑， 不顧人民。
9 The earth is sorrowing and wasting away; Lebanon is put to shame and has become waste; Sharon is like the Arabah; and in Bashan and Carmel the leaves are falling.
地上悲哀衰殘； 黎巴嫩羞愧枯乾； 沙崙像曠野； 巴珊和迦密的樹林凋殘。
10 Now will I come forward, says the Lord; now will I be lifted up; now will my power be seen.
耶和華說： 現在我要起來； 我要興起； 我要勃然而興。
11 Your designs will be without profit, and their effect will be nothing: you will be burned up by the fire of my breath.
你們要懷的是糠詷， 要生的是碎稭； 你們的氣就是吞滅自己的火。
12 And the peoples will be like the burning of chalk: as thorns cut down, which are burned in the fire.
列邦必像已燒的石灰， 像已割的荊棘在火中焚燒。
13 Give ear, you who are far off, to what I have done: see my power, you who are near.
你們遠方的人當聽我所行的； 你們近處的人當承認我的大能。
14 The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?
錫安中的罪人都懼怕； 不敬虔的人被戰兢抓住。 我們中間誰能與吞滅的火同住？ 我們中間誰能與永火同住呢？
15 He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;
行事公義、說話正直、 憎惡欺壓的財利、 擺手不受賄賂、 塞耳不聽流血的話， 閉眼不看邪惡事的，
16 He will have a place on high: he will be safely shut in by the high rocks: his bread will be given to him; his waters will be certain.
他必居高處； 他的保障是磐石的堅壘； 他的糧必不缺乏； 他的水必不斷絕。
17 Your eyes will see the king in his glory: they will be looking on a far-stretching land.
你的眼必見王的榮美， 必見遼闊之地。
18 Your heart will give thought to the cause of your fear: where is the scribe, where is he who made a record of the payments, where is he by whom the towers were numbered?
你的心必思想那驚嚇的事， 自問說：記數目的在哪裏呢？ 平貢銀的在哪裏呢？ 數戍樓的在哪裏呢？
19 Never again will you see the cruel people, a people whose tongue has no sense for you; whose language is strange to you.
你必不見那強暴的民， 就是說話深奧，你不能明白， 言語呢喃，你不能懂得的。
20 Let your eyes be resting on Zion, the town of our holy feasts: you will see Jerusalem, a quiet resting-place, a tent which will not be moved, whose tent-pins will never be pulled up, and whose cords will never be broken.
你要看錫安－我們守聖節的城！ 你的眼必見耶路撒冷為安靜的居所， 為不挪移的帳幕， 橛子永不拔出， 繩索一根也不折斷。
21 But there the Lord will be with us in his glory, ... wide rivers and streams; where no boat will go with blades, and no fair ship will be sailing.
在那裏，耶和華必顯威嚴與我們同在， 當作江河寬闊之地； 其中必沒有盪槳搖櫓的船來往， 也沒有威武的船經過。
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our law-giver, the Lord is our king; he will be our saviour.
因為，耶和華是審判我們的； 耶和華是給我們設律法的； 耶和華是我們的王； 他必拯救我們。
23 Your cords have become loose; they were not able to make strong the support of their sails, the sail was not stretched out: then the blind will take much property, the feeble-footed will make division of the goods of war.
你的繩索鬆開： 不能栽穩桅杆， 也不能揚起篷來。 那時許多擄來的物被分了； 瘸腿的把掠物奪去了。
24 And the men of Zion will not say, I am ill: for its people will have forgiveness for their sin.
城內居民必不說：我病了； 其中居住的百姓，罪孽都赦免了。
