Esias 29
1 Alas for the city of Ariel, which David besieged. Gather ye fruits year by year; eat ye, for ye shall eat with Moab.
唉！亚利伊勒，亚利伊勒， 大卫安营的城， 任凭你年上加年， 节期照常周流。
2 For I will grievously afflict Ariel: and her strength and her wealth shall be mine.
我终必使亚利伊勒困难； 她必悲伤哀号， 我却仍以她为亚利伊勒。
3 And I will compass thee about like David, and will raise a mound about thee, and set up towers round thee.
我必四围安营攻击你， 屯兵围困你， 筑垒攻击你。
4 And thy words shall be brought down to the earth, and thy words shall sink down to the earth, and thy voice shall be as they that speak out of the earth, and thy voice shall be lowered to the ground.
你必败落，从地中说话； 你的言语必微细出于尘埃。 你的声音必像那交鬼者的声音出于地； 你的言语低低微微出于尘埃。
5 But the wealth of the ungodly shall be as dust from a wheel, and the multitude of them that oppress thee as flying chaff, and it shall be suddenly as a moment,
你仇敌的群众，却要像细尘； 强暴人的群众，也要像飞糠。 这事必顷刻之间忽然临到。
6 from the Lord of Hosts: for there shall be a visitation with thunder, and earthquake, and a loud noise, a rushing tempest, and devouring flame of fire.
万军之耶和华必用雷轰、地震、大声、旋风、暴风， 并吞灭的火焰，向她讨罪。
7 And the wealth of all the nations together, as many as have fought against Ariel, and all they that war against Jerusalem, and all who are gathered against her, and they that distress her, shall be as one that dreams in sleep by night.
那时，攻击亚利伊勒列国的群众， 就是一切攻击亚利伊勒和她的保障， 并使她困难的， 必如梦景，如夜间的异象；
8 And as men drink and eat in sleep, and when they have arisen, the dream is vain: and as a thirsty man dreams as if he drank, and having arisen is still thirsty, and his soul has desired in vain: so shall be the wealth of all the nations, as many as have fought against the mount Sion.
又必像饥饿的人梦中吃饭， 醒了仍觉腹空； 或像口渴的人梦中喝水， 醒了仍觉发昏，心里想喝。 攻击锡安山列国的群众也必如此。
9 Faint ye, and be amazed, and be overpowered, not with strong drink nor with wine.
你们等候惊奇吧！ 你们宴乐昏迷吧！ 他们醉了，却非因酒； 他们东倒西歪，却非因浓酒。
10 For the Lord has made you to drink a spirit of deep sleep; and he shall close their eyes, and [the eyes] of their prophets and of their rulers, who see secret things.
因为耶和华将沉睡的灵浇灌你们， 封闭你们的眼， 蒙盖你们的头。 你们的眼就是先知； 你们的头就是先见。
11 And all these things shall be to you as the words of this sealed book, which if they shall give to a learned man, saying, Read this, he shall then say, I cannot read [it], for it is sealed.
所有的默示，你们看如封住的书卷，人将这书卷交给识字的，说：“请念吧！”他说：“我不能念，因为是封住了。”
12 And this book shall be given into the hands of a man that is unlearned, and [one] shall say to him, Read this; and he shall say, I am not learned.
又将这书卷交给不识字的人，说：“请念吧！”他说：“我不识字。”
13 And the Lord has said, This people draw nigh to me with their mouth, and they honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me: but in vain do they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.
主说：因为这百姓亲近我， 用嘴唇尊敬我， 心却远离我； 他们敬畏我， 不过是领受人的吩咐。
14 Therefore behold I will proceed to remove this people, and I will remove them: and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will hide the understanding of the prudent.
所以，我在这百姓中要行奇妙的事， 就是奇妙又奇妙的事。 他们智慧人的智慧必然消灭， 聪明人的聪明必然隐藏。
15 Woe to them that deepen their counsel, and not by the Lord. Woe to them that take secret counsel, and whose works are in darkness, and they say, Who has seen us? and who shall know us, or what we do?
祸哉！那些向耶和华深藏谋略的， 又在暗中行事，说： 谁看见我们呢？ 谁知道我们呢？
16 Shall ye not be counted as clay of the potter? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Thou didst not form me? or the work to the maker, Thou hast not made me wisely?
你们把事颠倒了， 岂可看窑匠如泥吗？ 被制作的物岂可论制作物的说： 他没有制作我？ 或是被创造的物论造物的说： 他没有聪明？
17 [Is it] not yet a little while, and Libanus shall be changed as the mountains of Chermel, and Chermel shall be reckoned as a forest?
黎巴嫩变为肥田， 肥田看如树林， 不是只有一点点时候吗？
18 And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and they that are in darkness, and they that are in mist: the eyes of the blind shall see,
那时，聋子必听见这书上的话； 瞎子的眼必从迷蒙黑暗中得以看见。
19 and the poor shall rejoice with joy because of the Lord, and they that had no hope among men shall be filled with joy.
谦卑人必因耶和华增添欢喜； 人间贫穷的必因以色列的圣者快乐。
20 The lawless man has come to nought, and the proud man has perished, and they that transgress mischievously have been utterly destroyed:
因为，强暴人已归无有， 亵慢人已经灭绝， 一切找机会作孽的都被剪除。
21 and they that cause men to sin by a word: and men shall make all that reprove in the gates an offence, because they have unjustly turned aside the righteous.
他们在争讼的事上定无罪的为有罪， 为城门口责备人的设下网罗， 用虚无的事屈枉义人。
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the house of Jacob, whom he set apart from Abraam, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall he now change countenance.
所以，救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华 论雅各家如此说： 雅各必不再羞愧， 面容也不致变色。
23 But when their children shall have seen my works, they shall sanctify my name for my sake, and they sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
但他看见他的众子， 就是我手的工作在他那里， 他们必尊我的名为圣， 必尊雅各的圣者为圣， 必敬畏以色列的 神。
24 And they that erred in spirit shall know understanding, and the murmurers shall learn obedience, and the stammering tongues shall learn to speak peace.
心中迷糊的必得明白； 发怨言的必受训诲。
