Isaiah 66
1 The Lord says, Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is the resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, and what place will be my resting-place?
耶和華如此說： 天是我的座位； 地是我的腳凳。 你們要為我造何等的殿宇？ 哪裏是我安息的地方呢？
2 For all these things my hand has made, and they are mine, says the Lord; but to this man only will I give attention, to him who is poor and broken in spirit, fearing my word.
耶和華說：這一切都是我手所造的， 所以就都有了。 但我所看顧的， 就是虛心痛悔、 因我話而戰兢的人。
3 He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;
假冒為善的宰牛，好像殺人， 獻羊羔，好像打折狗項， 獻供物，好像獻豬血， 燒乳香，好像稱頌偶像。 這等人揀選自己的道路， 心裏喜悅行可憎惡的事。
4 So I will go after trouble for them, and will send on them what they are fearing: because no one made answer to my voice, or gave ear to my word; but they did what was evil in my eyes, going after that in which I took no pleasure.
我也必揀選迷惑他們的事， 使他們所懼怕的臨到他們； 因為我呼喚，無人答應； 我說話，他們不聽從； 反倒行我眼中看為惡的， 揀選我所不喜悅的。
5 Give ear to the word of the Lord, you who are in fear at his word: your countrymen, hating you, and driving you out because of my name, have said, Let the Lord's glory be made clear, so that we may see your joy; but they will be put to shame.
你們因耶和華言語戰兢的人當聽他的話： 你們的弟兄－就是恨惡你們， 因我名趕出你們的，曾說： 願耶和華得榮耀， 使我們得見你們的喜樂； 但蒙羞的究竟是他們！
6 There is a noise of war from the town, a sound from the Temple, the voice of the Lord giving punishment to his haters.
有喧嘩的聲音出自城中！ 有聲音出於殿中！ 是耶和華向仇敵施行報應的聲音！
7 Before her pains came, she gave birth; before her pains, she gave birth to a man-child.
錫安未曾劬勞就生產， 未覺疼痛就生出男孩。
8 When has such a story come to men's ears? who has seen such things? will a land come to birth in one day? will a nation be given birth in a minute? For when Zion's pains came on her, she gave birth to her children straight away.
國豈能一日而生？ 民豈能一時而產？ 因為錫安一劬勞便生下兒女， 這樣的事誰曾聽見？ 誰曾看見呢？
9 Will I by whom the birth was started, not make it complete? says the Lord. Will I who make children come to birth, let them be kept back? says your God.
耶和華說：我既使她臨產， 豈不使她生產呢？ 你的上帝說：我既使她生產， 豈能使她閉胎不生呢？
10 Have joy with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you her lovers: take part in her joy, all you who are sorrowing for her:
你們愛慕耶路撒冷的 都要與她一同歡喜快樂； 你們為她悲哀的 都要與她一同樂上加樂；
11 So that you may take of the comfort flowing from her breasts, and be delighted with the full measure of her glory.
使你們在她安慰的懷中吃奶得飽， 使他們得她豐盛的榮耀， 猶如擠奶，滿心喜樂。
12 For the Lord says, See, I will make her peace like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, and she will take her children in her arms, gently caring for them on her knees.
耶和華如此說： 我要使平安延及她，好像江河， 使列國的榮耀延及她，如同漲溢的河。 你們要從中享受； 你們必蒙抱在肋旁，搖弄在膝上。
13 As to one who is comforted by his mother, so will I give you comfort: and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.
母親怎樣安慰兒子，我就照樣安慰你們； 你們也必因耶路撒冷得安慰。
14 And you will see it and your heart will be glad, and your bones will get new strength, like young grass: and the hand of the Lord will be seen at work for his servants, and his wrath against his haters.
你們看見，就心中快樂； 你們的骨頭必得滋潤像嫩草一樣； 而且耶和華的手向他僕人所行的必被人知道； 他也要向仇敵發惱恨。
15 For the Lord is coming with fire, and his war-carriages will be like the storm-wind; to give punishment in the heat of his wrath, and his passion is like flames of fire.
看哪，耶和華必在火中降臨； 他的車輦像旋風， 以烈怒施行報應， 以火焰施行責罰；
16 For with fire and sword will the Lord come, judging all the earth, and his sword will be on all flesh: and great numbers will be put to death by him.
因為耶和華在一切有血氣的人身上， 必以火與刀施行審判； 被耶和華所殺的必多。
17 As for those who keep themselves separate, and make themselves clean in the gardens, going after one in the middle, taking pig's flesh for food, and other disgusting things, such as the mouse: their works and their thoughts will come to an end together, says the Lord.
「那些分別為聖、潔淨自己的，進入園內跟在其中一個人的後頭，吃豬肉和倉鼠並可憎之物，他們必一同滅絕；這是耶和華說的。
18 And I am coming to get together all nations and tongues: and they will come and will see my glory.
「我知道他們的行為和他們的意念。時候將到，我必將萬民萬族聚來，看見我的榮耀，
19 And I will put a sign among them, and I will send those who are still living to the nations, to Tarshish, Put, and Lud, Meshech and Rosh, Tubal and Javan, to the sea-lands far away, who have not had word of me, or seen my glory; and they will give the knowledge of my glory to the nations.
我要顯神蹟在他們中間。逃脫的，我要差到列國去，就是到他施、普勒、拉弓的路德和土巴、雅完，並素來沒有聽見我名聲、沒有看見我榮耀遼遠的海島；他們必將我的榮耀傳揚在列國中。
20 And they will take your countrymen out of all the nations for an offering to the Lord, on horses, and in carriages, and in carts, and on asses, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, as the children of Israel take their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
他們必將你們的弟兄從列國中送回，使他們或騎馬，或坐車，坐轎，騎騾子，騎獨峰駝，到我的聖山耶路撒冷，作為供物獻給耶和華，好像以色列人用潔淨的器皿盛供物奉到耶和華的殿中；這是耶和華說的。
21 And some of them will I take for priests and Levites, says the Lord.
耶和華說：我也必從他們中間取人為祭司，為利未人。」
22 For as the new heaven and the new earth which I will make will be for ever before me, says the Lord, so will your seed and your name be for ever.
耶和華說：我所要造的新天新地， 怎樣在我面前長存； 你們的後裔和你們的名字也必照樣長存。
23 And it will be, that from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh will come to give worship before me, says the Lord.
每逢月朔、安息日， 凡有血氣的必來在我面前下拜。 這是耶和華說的。
24 And they will go out to see the dead bodies of the men who have done evil against me: for their worm will ever be living, and their fire will never be put out, and they will be a thing of fear to all flesh.
他們必出去觀看那些違背我人的屍首； 因為他們的蟲是不死的； 他們的火是不滅的； 凡有血氣的都必憎惡他們。
