Isaiah 10
1 Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
禍哉！那些設立不義之律例的 和記錄奸詐之判語的，
2 in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
為要屈枉窮乏人， 奪去我民中困苦人的理， 以寡婦當作擄物， 以孤兒當作掠物。
3 What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,
到降罰的日子，有災禍從遠方臨到， 那時，你們怎樣行呢？ 你們向誰逃奔求救呢？ 你們的榮耀存留何處呢？
4 so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
他們只得屈身在被擄的人以下， 仆倒在被殺的人以下。 雖然如此，耶和華的怒氣還未轉消； 他的手仍伸不縮。
5 Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
亞述是我怒氣的棍， 手中拿我惱恨的杖。
6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
我要打發他攻擊褻瀆的國民， 吩咐他攻擊我所惱怒的百姓， 搶財為擄物，奪貨為掠物， 將他們踐踏，像街上的泥土一樣。
7 But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
然而，他不是這樣的意思； 他心也不這樣打算。 他心裏倒想毀滅， 剪除不少的國。
8 For he will say:
他說：我的臣僕豈不都是王嗎？
9 “Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
迦勒挪豈不像迦基米施嗎？ 哈馬豈不像亞珥拔嗎？ 撒馬利亞豈不像大馬士革嗎？
10 In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
我手已經搆到有偶像的國； 這些國雕刻的偶像 過於耶路撒冷和撒馬利亞的偶像。
11 Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
我怎樣待撒馬利亞和其中的偶像， 豈不照樣待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像嗎？
12 And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
主在錫安山和耶路撒冷成就他一切工作的時候，主說：「我必罰亞述王自大的心和他高傲眼目的榮耀。」
13 For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
因為他說： 我所成就的事是靠我手的能力 和我的智慧， 我本有聰明。 我挪移列國的地界， 搶奪他們所積蓄的財寶； 並且我像勇士，使坐寶座的降為卑。
14 And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
我的手搆到列國的財寶， 好像人搆到鳥窩； 我也得了全地， 好像人拾起所棄的雀蛋。 沒有動翅膀的； 沒有張嘴的，也沒有鳴叫的。
15 Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?
斧豈可向用斧砍木的自誇呢？ 鋸豈可向用鋸的自大呢？ 好比棍掄起那舉棍的， 好比杖舉起那非木的人。
16 Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
因此，主－萬軍之耶和華 必使亞述王的肥壯人變為瘦弱， 在他的榮華之下必有火着起， 如同焚燒一樣。
17 And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.
以色列的光必如火； 他的聖者必如火焰。 在一日之間，將亞述王的荊棘 和蒺藜焚燒淨盡；
18 And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
又將他樹林和肥田的榮耀全然燒盡， 好像拿軍旗的昏過去一樣。
19 And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
他林中剩下的樹必稀少， 就是孩子也能寫其數。
20 And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
到那日，以色列所剩下的和雅各家所逃脫的，不再倚靠那擊打他們的，卻要誠實倚靠耶和華－以色列的聖者。
21 The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.
所剩下的，就是雅各家所剩下的，必歸回全能的上帝。
22 For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
以色列啊，你的百姓雖多如海沙，惟有剩下的歸回。原來滅絕的事已定，必有公義施行，如水漲溢。
23 For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
因為主－萬軍之耶和華在全地之中必成就所定規的結局。
24 For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
所以，主－萬軍之耶和華如此說：「住錫安我的百姓啊，亞述王雖然用棍擊打你，又照埃及的樣子舉杖攻擊你，你卻不要怕他。
25 But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
因為還有一點點時候，向你們發的忿恨就要完畢，我的怒氣要向他發作，使他滅亡。
26 And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
萬軍之耶和華要興起鞭來攻擊他，好像在俄立磐石那裏殺戮米甸人一樣。耶和華的杖要向海伸出，把杖舉起，像在埃及一樣。
27 And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
到那日，亞述王的重擔必離開你的肩頭；他的軛必離開你的頸項；那軛也必因肥壯的緣故撐斷。」
28 He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
亞述王來到亞葉， 經過米磯崙， 在密抹安放輜重。
29 They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
他們過了隘口， 在迦巴住宿。 拉瑪人戰兢； 掃羅的基比亞人逃跑。
30 Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
迦琳的居民哪，要高聲呼喊！ 萊煞人哪，須聽！ 哀哉！困苦的亞拿突啊。
31 Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
瑪得米那人躲避； 基柄的居民逃遁。
32 It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
當那日，亞述王要在挪伯歇兵， 向錫安女子的山－ 就是耶路撒冷的山－掄手攻他。
33 Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
看哪，主－萬軍之耶和華 以驚嚇削去樹枝； 長高的必被砍下， 高大的必被伐倒。
34 And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
稠密的樹林，他要用鐵器砍下； 黎巴嫩的樹木必被大能者伐倒。
