Esias 26
1 In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
當那日，在猶大地人必唱這歌說： 我們有堅固的城。 耶和華要將救恩定為城牆，為外郭。
2 Open you the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
敞開城門， 使守信的義民得以進入。
3 supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on you, O Lord,
堅心倚賴你的， 你必保守他十分平安， 因為他倚靠你。
4 they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
你們當倚靠耶和華直到永遠， 因為耶和華是永久的磐石。
5 who have humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, you shall cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
他使住高處的與高城一併敗落， 將城拆毀，拆平，直到塵埃，
6 And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
要被腳踐踏， 就是被困苦人的腳和窮乏人的腳踐踏。
7 The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
義人的道是正直的； 你為正直的主，必修平義人的路。
8 For the way of the Lord is judgement: we have hoped in your name, and on the remembrance [of you],
耶和華啊，我們在你行審判的路上等候你； 我們心裏所羨慕的是你的名， 就是你那可記念的名。
9 which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks you very early in the morning, O God, for your commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, you that dwell upon the earth.
夜間，我心中羨慕你； 我裏面的靈切切尋求你。 因為你在世上行審判的時候， 地上的居民就學習公義。
10 For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
以恩惠待惡人， 他仍不學習公義； 在正直的地上，他必行事不義， 也不注意耶和華的威嚴。
11 O Lord, your arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
耶和華啊，你的手高舉， 他們仍然不看； 卻要看你為百姓發的熱心，因而抱愧， 並且有火燒滅你的敵人。
12 O Lord our God, give us peace: for you have rendered to us all things.
耶和華啊，你必派定我們得平安， 因為我們所做的事都是你給我們成就的。
13 O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside you: we name your name.
耶和華－我們的上帝啊， 在你以外曾有別的主管轄我們， 但我們專要倚靠你，提你的名。
14 But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore you have brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and have taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
他們死了，必不能再活； 他們去世，必不能再起； 因為你刑罰他們，毀滅他們， 他們的名號就全然消滅。
15 bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
耶和華啊，你增添國民， 你增添國民； 你得了榮耀， 又擴張地的四境。
16 Lord, in affliction I remembered you; your chastening was to us with small affliction.
耶和華啊，他們在急難中尋求你； 你的懲罰臨到他們身上， 他們就傾心吐膽禱告你。
17 And as a woman in travail draws near to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to your beloved.
婦人懷孕，臨產疼痛， 在痛苦之中喊叫； 耶和華啊，我們在你面前也是如此。
18 We have conceived, O Lord, because of your fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of your salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
我們也曾懷孕疼痛， 所產的竟像風一樣。 我們在地上未曾行甚麼拯救的事； 世上的居民也未曾敗落。
19 The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from you is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
死人要復活， 屍首要興起。 睡在塵埃的啊，要醒起歌唱！ 因你的甘露好像菜蔬上的甘露， 地也要交出死人來。
20 Go, my people, enter into your closets, shut your door, hide yourself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
我的百姓啊，你們要來進入內室， 關上門，隱藏片時， 等到忿怒過去。
21 For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
因為耶和華從他的居所出來， 要刑罰地上居民的罪孽。 地也必露出其中的血， 不再掩蓋被殺的人。
