Esias 65
1 I became manifest to them that asked not for me; I was found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold, I am [here], to a nation, who called not on my name.
從未求問我的，我要讓他尋求我；從未尋找我的，我要讓他找到我；我對那從未稱呼我名的民族說：「看，我在這裏！我在這裏！」
2 I have stretched forth my hands all day to a disobedient and gainsaying people, to them that walked in a way that was not good, but after their sins.
我整天向悖逆的民族，即隨自己的思念走邪辟路的人，伸出我的手。
3 This is the people that provokes me continually in my presence; they offer sacrifices in gardens, and burn incense on bricks to devils, which exist not.
這民族時常在我面前惹我發怒，在園中獻祭，在磚台上焚香；
4 They lie down to sleep in the tombs and in the caves for the sake of dreams, [even] they that eat swine's flesh, and the broth of [their] sacrifices: all their vessels are defiled:
他們住在墳墓內，宿在隱密處，吃豬肉，在他們的器皿中都是些不潔之物，
5 who say, Depart from me, draw not near to me, for I am pure. This is the smoke of my wrath, a fire burns with it continually.
他們還對人說：「站遠點，別靠近我，怕我聖潔了你。」這些事真叫我鼻子冒煙，整日冒火。
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not be silent until I have recompensed into their bosom,
看哪！這一切已在我面前寫定；我決不緘默，我非報復不可。
7 their sins and [the sins] of their fathers, says the Lord, who have burnt incense on the mountains, and reproached me on the hills: I will recompense their works into their bosom.
我要一起報復他們的罪惡和他們祖先的罪惡：上主說。因為他們在山上燒過香，在丘陵上褻謾過我，所以我要量好他們應得的報酬，報應到他們的懷中。
8 Thus says the Lord, As a grape-stone shall be found in the cluster, and they shall say, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for the sake of him that serves me, for his sake I will not destroy [them] all.
上主這樣說：「就如當人發現葡萄內尚有酒汁時，就說：不要破壞它，因為裏面還有祝福；我為了我的僕人也要這樣作，不將他們完全消滅。
9 And I will lead forth the seed [that came] of Jacob and of Juda, and they shall inherit my holy mountain: and mine elect and my servants shall inherit it, and shall dwell there.
我要使雅各伯生出苗裔，使猶大生出繼承我山的人；我的選民要以她為業，我的僕人要住在那裏。
10 And there shall be in the forest folds of flocks, and the valley of Achor [shall] be for a resting-place of herds for my people, who have sought me.
為那尋求我的百姓，沙龍將成為羊群的牧場，阿苛爾山谷為那尋求我的百姓，要成為牛群的棲所。」「
11 But you are they that have left me, and forget my holy mountain, and prepare a table for the devil, and fill up the drink-offering to Fortune.
至於你們這些離棄上主，忘記我的聖山，為加得神設宴，給默尼神注滿調和的酒的人，
12 I will deliver you up to the sword, you shall all fall by slaughter: for I called you, and you listened not; I spoke, and you refused to hear; and you did evil in my sight, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
我注定了你們歸於刀下，你們要屈身受戮；因為我喊叫你們，你們沒有回答；我說話，你們不肯聽，反而去行我視為惡的事，揀選我所不喜歡的事。」
13 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall hunger: behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall thirst: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed:
因此吾主上主這樣說：「你們要看見我的僕人有得吃，你們卻要飢餓；你們看見我的僕人有得喝，你們卻要口渴；你們看見我的僕人喜樂，你們卻要哭泣；
14 behold, my servants shall exult with joy, but you shall cry for the sorrow of your heart, and shall howl for the vexation of your spirit.
你們看見我的僕人因心中快樂而歡慶，你們卻要因心中憂苦而悲號，因喪氣而哀傷。
15 For you shall leave your name for a loathing to my chosen, and the Lord shall destroy you: but my servants shall be called by a new name,
你們將留下你們的名給我的選民作咒詞：『吾主上主將如此叫你死！』但是我的僕人要有另一個名字作稱呼。」
16 which shall be blessed on the earth; for they shall bless the true God: and they that swear upon the earth shall swear by the true God; for they shall forget the former affliction, it shall not come into their mind.
所以那在地上為自己求福的，要向真實的天主求福；那在地上起誓的，要指著真實的天主起誓，因為先前的苦難都已忘記，從我的眼前隱匿了。
17 For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth: and they shall not at all remember the former, neither shall they at all come into their mind.
因為，看，我要創造新天新地，先前的不再被記憶，不再被關心。
18 But they shall find in her joy and exultation; for, behold, I make Jerusalem a rejoicing, and my people a joy.
人們都要因我所造的而永遠喜悅快樂；因為，看，我要造一座令人喜悅的耶路撒冷，一個令人歡樂的百姓。
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and will be glad in my people: and there shall no more be heard in her the voice of weeping, or the voice of crying.
我要因耶路撒冷而喜悅，因我的百姓而歡欣，其中再聽不到哭泣和哀號的聲音。
20 Neither shall there be there any more a [child that dies] untimely, or an old man who shall not complete his time: for the youth shall be a hundred years [old], and the sinner who dies at a hundred years shall also be accursed:
那裏再沒有夭折的嬰兒和不滿壽數的老人；百歲死去的人算是青年，凡活不到百歲的人算是被詛咒的。
21 and they shall build houses, and themselves shall dwell in [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and themselves shall eat the fruit thereof.
他們要建築房舍，自居其中；種植葡萄，自食其果；
22 They shall by no means build, and others inhabit; and they shall by no means plant, and others eat: for as the days of the tree of life shall be the days of my people, they shall long enjoy the fruits of their labours.
並不是他們建築而別人來住，他們種植而別人來吃，因為我百姓的壽數有如樹木的年數，我的選民要享用她自己的勞作。
23 My chosen shall not toil in vain, neither shall they beget children to be cursed; for they are a seed blessed of God, and their offspring with them.
他們不再徒然勤勞，生子不再受驚，因為他們是上主祝福的苗裔，他們的子孫亦將如此。
24 And it shall come to pass, [that] before they call, I will listen to them; while they are yet speaking, I will say, What is it?
那時，他們還未呼求，我已答應了；他們還在祈禱，我已俯允了。
25 Then wolves and lambs shall feed together, and the lion shall eat chaff like the ox, and the serpent earth as bread. They shall not injure nor destroy in my holy mountain, says the Lord.
豺狼和羔羊將要一齊牧放，獅子要如牛犢一般吃草，塵土將是大蛇的食物；在我的整個聖山上，再沒有誰作惡，也沒有誰害人：上主說。
