Esias 57
1 See how the just man has perished, and no one lays [it] to heart: and righteous men are taken away, and no one considers: for the righteous has been removed out of the way of injustice.
义人死亡， 无人放在心上； 虔诚人被收去， 无人思念。 这义人被收去是免了将来的祸患；
2 His burial shall be in peace: he has been removed out of the way.
他们得享平安。 素行正直的，各人在坟里安歇。
3 But draw ye near hither, ye lawless children, the seed of adulterers and the harlot.
你们这些巫婆的儿子， 奸夫和妓女的种子， 都要前来！
4 Wherein have ye been rioting? and against whom have ye opened your mouth, and against whom have ye loosed your tongue? are ye not children of perdition? a lawless seed?
你们向谁戏笑？ 向谁张口吐舌呢？ 你们岂不是悖逆的儿女， 虚谎的种类呢？
5 who call upon idols under the leafy trees, slaying your children in the valleys among the rocks?
你们在橡树中间，在各青翠树下欲火攻心； 在山谷间，在石穴下杀了儿女；
6 That is thy portion, this is thy lot: and to them hast thou poured forth drink-offerings, and to these hast thou offered meat-offerings. Shall I not therefore be angry for these things?
在谷中光滑石头里有你的分。 这些就是你所得的分； 你也向他浇了奠祭，献了供物， 因这事我岂能容忍吗？
7 On a lofty and high mountain, there is thy bed, and thither thou carriedst up thy meat-offerings:
你在高而又高的山上安设床榻， 也上那里去献祭。
8 and behind the posts of thy door thou didst place thy memorials. Didst thou think that if thou shouldest depart from me, thou wouldest gain? thou hast loved those that lay with thee;
你在门后，在门框后， 立起你的纪念； 向外人赤露，又上去扩张床榻， 与他们立约； 你在那里看见他们的床就甚喜爱。
9 and thou hast multiplied thy whoredom with them, and thou hast increased the number of them that are far from thee, and hast sent ambassadors beyond thy borders, and hast been debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
你把油带到王那里， 又多加香料， 打发使者往远方去， 自卑自贱直到阴间， (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou has wearied thyself with thy many ways; yet thou saidst not, I will cease to strengthen myself: for thou has done these things; therefore thou has not supplicated me.
你因路远疲倦， 却不说这是枉然； 你以为有复兴之力， 所以不觉疲惫。
11 Through dread of whom hast thou feared, and lied against me, and has not remembered, nor considered me, nor regarded me, yea, though when I see thee I pass thee by, yet thou has not feared me.
你怕谁？因谁恐惧？ 竟说谎，不记念我， 又不将这事放在心上。 我不是许久闭口不言， 你仍不怕我吗？
12 And I will declare thy righteousness, and thy sins, which shall not profit thee.
我要指明你的公义； 至于你所行的都必与你无益。
13 When thou criest out, let them deliver thee in thine affliction: for all these the wind shall take, and the tempest shall carry [them] away: but they that cleave to me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
你哀求的时候， 让你所聚集的拯救你吧！ 风要把他们刮散， 一口气要把他们都吹去。 但那投靠我的必得地土， 必承受我的圣山为业。
14 And they shall say, Clear the ways before him, and take up the stumbling-blocks out of the way of my people.
耶和华要说： 你们修筑修筑，预备道路， 将绊脚石从我百姓的路中除掉。
15 Thus saith the Most High, who dwells on high for ever, Holy in the holies, is his name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted:
因为那至高至上、永远长存 名为圣者的如此说： 我住在至高至圣的所在， 也与心灵痛悔谦卑的人同居； 要使谦卑人的灵苏醒， 也使痛悔人的心苏醒。
16 I will not take vengeance on you for ever, neither will I be always angry with you: for my Spirit shall go forth from me, and I have created all breath.
我必不永远相争，也不长久发怒， 恐怕我所造的人与灵性都必发昏。
17 On account of sin for a little while I grieved him, and smote him, and turned away my face from him; and he was grieved, and he went on sorrowful in his ways.
因他贪婪的罪孽，我就发怒击打他； 我向他掩面发怒， 他却仍然随心背道。
18 I have seen his ways, and healed him, and comforted him, and given him true comfort;
我看见他所行的道，也要医治他； 又要引导他， 使他和那一同伤心的人再得安慰。
19 peace upon peace to them that are far off, and to them that are nigh: and the Lord has said, I will heal them.
我造就嘴唇的果子； 愿平安康泰归与远处的人， 也归与近处的人； 并且我要医治他。 这是耶和华说的。
20 But the unrighteous shall be tossed as troubled waves, and shall not be able to rest.
惟独恶人，好像翻腾的海， 不得平静； 其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥来。
21 There is no joy to the ungodly, said God.
我的 神说：恶人必不得平安！
