Isaiah 65
1 I have been ready to give an answer to those who did not make prayer to me; I have been offering myself to those who were not searching for me; I said, Here am I, here am I, to a nation which gave no respect to my name.
素來沒有訪問我的，現在求問我； 沒有尋找我的，我叫他們遇見； 沒有稱為我名下的，我對他們說： 我在這裏！我在這裏！
2 All day my hands have been stretched out to an uncontrolled people, who go in an evil way, after the purposes of their hearts;
我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓； 他們隨自己的意念行不善之道。
3 A people who make me angry every day, making offerings in gardens, and burning perfumes on bricks.
這百姓時常當面惹我發怒； 在園中獻祭， 在壇上燒香；
4 Who are seated in the resting-places of the dead, and by night are in the secret places; who take pig's flesh for food, and have the liquid of disgusting things in their vessels.
在墳墓間坐着， 在隱密處住宿， 吃豬肉； 他們器皿中有可憎之物做的湯；
5 Who say, Keep away, do not come near me, for fear that I make you holy: these are a smoke in my nose, a fire burning all day.
且對人說：你站開吧！ 不要挨近我，因為我比你聖潔。 主說：這些人是我鼻中的煙， 是整天燒着的火。
6 See, it is recorded before me, says the Lord: I will not keep back my hand, till I have sent punishment,
看哪，這都寫在我面前。 我必不靜默，必施行報應， 必將你們的罪孽和你們列祖的罪孽， 就是在山上燒香， 在岡上褻瀆我的罪孽， 一同報應在他們後人懷中， 我先要把他們所行的量給他們； 這是耶和華說的。
7 For their sins and the sins of their fathers, who were burning perfumes on the mountains, and saying evil things against me on the hills: so I will take the measure of their sins, and will send the punishment for them into their breast.
8 This is the word of the Lord: As the new wine is seen in the grapes, and they say, Do not send destruction on it, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants, in order that I may not put an end to them all.
耶和華如此說：葡萄中尋得新酒， 人就說：不要毀壞， 因為福在其中。 我因我僕人的緣故也必照樣而行， 不將他們全然毀滅。
9 And I will take a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one who will have my mountains for a heritage: and the people I have taken to be mine will have it for themselves, and my servants will have their resting-place there.
我必從雅各中領出後裔， 從猶大中領出承受我眾山的。 我的選民必承受； 我的僕人要在那裏居住。
10 And Sharon will be a grass-land for the flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting-place for the herds: for my people whose hearts have been turned back to me.
沙崙平原必成為羊群的圈； 亞割谷必成為牛群躺臥之處， 都為尋求我的民所得。
11 But as for you who have given up the Lord, who have no care for my holy mountain, who get ready a table for Chance, and make offerings of mixed wine to Fate;
但你們這些離棄耶和華、 忘記我的聖山、給時運擺筵席、 給天命盛滿調和酒的，
12 Your fate will be the sword, and you will all go down to death: because when my voice came to you, you made no answer; you did not give ear to my word; but you did what was evil in my eyes, desiring what was not pleasing to me.
我要命定你們歸在刀下， 都必屈身被殺； 因為我呼喚，你們沒有答應； 我說話，你們沒有聽從； 反倒行我眼中看為惡的， 揀選我所不喜悅的。
13 For this cause says the Lord God, My servants will have food, but you will be in need of food: my servants will have drink, but you will be dry: my servants will have joy, but you will be shamed:
所以，主耶和華如此說： 我的僕人必得吃，你們卻飢餓； 我的僕人必得喝，你們卻乾渴； 我的僕人必歡喜，你們卻蒙羞。
14 My servants will make songs in the joy of their hearts, but you will be crying for sorrow, and making sounds of grief from a broken spirit.
我的僕人因心中高興歡呼， 你們卻因心中憂愁哀哭， 又因心裏憂傷哀號。
15 And your name will become a curse to my people, and the Lord God will put you to death, and give his servants another name:
你們必留下自己的名， 為我選民指着賭咒。 主耶和華必殺你們， 另起別名稱呼他的僕人。
16 So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.
這樣，在地上為自己求福的， 必憑真實的上帝求福； 在地上起誓的， 必指真實的上帝起誓。 因為，從前的患難已經忘記， 也從我眼前隱藏了。
17 For see, I am making a new heaven and a new earth: and the past things will be gone completely out of mind.
看哪！我造新天新地； 從前的事不再被記念，也不再追想。
18 But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy.
你們當因我所造的永遠歡喜快樂； 因我造耶路撒冷為人所喜， 造其中的居民為人所樂。
19 And I will be glad over Jerusalem, and have joy in my people: and the voice of weeping will no longer be sounding in her, or the voice of grief.
我必因耶路撒冷歡喜， 因我的百姓快樂； 其中必不再聽見哭泣的聲音和哀號的聲音。
20 No longer will there be there a child whose days are cut short, or an old man whose days have not come to their full measure: for the young man at his death will be a hundred years old, and he whose life is shorter than a hundred years will seem as one cursed.
其中必沒有數日夭亡的嬰孩， 也沒有壽數不滿的老者； 因為百歲死的仍算孩童， 有百歲死的罪人算被咒詛。
21 And they will be building houses and living in them; planting vine-gardens and getting the fruit of them.
他們要建造房屋，自己居住； 栽種葡萄園，吃其中的果子。
22 They will no longer be building for the use of others, or planting for others to have the fruit: for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my loved ones will have joy in full measure in the work of their hands.
他們建造的，別人不得住； 他們栽種的，別人不得吃； 因為我民的日子必像樹木的日子； 我選民親手勞碌得來的必長久享用。
23 Their work will not be for nothing, and they will not give birth to children for destruction; for they are a seed to whom the Lord has given his blessing, and their offspring will be with them.
他們必不徒然勞碌， 所生產的，也不遭災害， 因為都是蒙耶和華賜福的後裔； 他們的子孫也是如此。
24 And before they make their request I will give an answer, and while they are still making prayer to me, I will give ear.
他們尚未求告，我就應允； 正說話的時候，我就垂聽。
25 The wolf and the lamb will take their food together, and the lion will make a meal of grass like the ox: but dust will be the snake's food. There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
豺狼必與羊羔同食； 獅子必吃草與牛一樣； 塵土必作蛇的食物。 在我聖山的遍處， 這一切都不傷人，不害物。 這是耶和華說的。
