Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious adornment, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine.
祸哉！以法莲的酒徒， 住在肥美谷的山上， 他们心里高傲， 以所夸的为冠冕， 犹如将残之花。
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, as a storm of hail [and] a destroying tempest; as a storm of mighty waters overflowing, shall he cast down to the earth with might.
看哪，主有一大能大力者， 像一阵冰雹， 像毁灭的暴风， 像涨溢的大水， 他必用手将冠冕摔落于地。
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet;
以法莲高傲的酒徒， 他的冠冕必被踏在脚下。
4 and the fading flower of his glorious adornment which is on the head of the fat valley shall be like an early fig before the summer: as soon as he that seeth it perceiveth it, scarcely is it in his hand, he swalloweth it down.
那荣美将残之花， 就是在肥美谷山上的， 必像夏令以前初熟的无花果； 看见这果的就注意， 一到手中就吞吃了。
5 In that day will Jehovah of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the remnant of his people;
到那日，万军之耶和华 必作他余剩之民的荣冠华冕，
6 and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
也作了在位上行审判者公平之灵， 并城门口打退仇敌者的力量。
7 But these also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are they gone astray. The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink; they are overpowered by wine, they are gone astray through strong drink; they have erred in vision, they have stumbled [in] judgment.
就是这地的人也因酒摇摇晃晃， 因浓酒东倒西歪。 祭司和先知因浓酒摇摇晃晃， 被酒所困， 因浓酒东倒西歪。 他们错解默示， 谬行审判。
8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit, so that there is no [more] place.
因为各席上满了呕吐的污秽， 无一处干净。
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the report? Them that are weaned from the milk, withdrawn from the breasts?
讥诮先知的说： 他要将知识指教谁呢？ 要使谁明白传言呢？ 是那刚断奶离怀的吗？
10 For [it is] precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. ...
他竟命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 这里一点，那里一点。
11 For with stammering lips and a strange tongue will he speak to this people;
先知说：不然，主要借异邦人的嘴唇 和外邦人的舌头对这百姓说话。
12 to whom he said, This is the rest: cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. But they would not hear.
他曾对他们说： 你们要使疲乏人得安息， 这样才得安息，才得舒畅， 他们却不肯听。
13 And the word of Jehovah was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little: that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
所以，耶和华向他们说的话是 命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 这里一点，那里一点， 以致他们前行仰面跌倒， 而且跌碎，并陷入网罗被缠住。
14 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
所以，你们这些亵慢的人， 就是辖管住在耶路撒冷这百姓的， 要听耶和华的话。
15 For ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol have we made an agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. (Sheol h7585)
你们曾说： 我们与死亡立约， 与阴间结盟； 敌军如水涨漫经过的时候， 必不临到我们； 因我们以谎言为避所， 在虚假以下藏身。 (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I lay for foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that trusteth shall not make haste.
所以，主耶和华如此说： 看哪，我在锡安放一块石头作为根基， 是试验过的石头， 是稳固根基，宝贵的房角石； 信靠的人必不着急。
17 And I will appoint judgment for a line, and righteousness for a plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
我必以公平为准绳， 以公义为线铊。 冰雹必冲去谎言的避所； 大水必漫过藏身之处。
18 And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
你们与死亡所立的约必然废掉， 与阴间所结的盟必立不住。 敌军如水涨漫经过的时候， 你们必被他践踏； (Sheol h7585)
19 As it passeth through it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be terror only to understand the report.
每逢经过必将你们掳去。 因为每早晨他必经过， 白昼黑夜都必如此。 明白传言的必受惊恐。
20 For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on, and the covering too narrow when he would wrap himself in it.
原来，床榻短，使人不能舒身； 被窝窄，使人不能遮体。
21 For Jehovah will rise up as on mount Perazim, he will be moved with anger as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and perform his act, his unwonted act.
耶和华必兴起，像在毗拉心山； 他必发怒，像在基遍谷， 好做成他的工，就是非常的工； 成就他的事，就是奇异的事。
22 Now therefore be ye not scorners, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of hosts a consumption, and [one] determined, upon the whole land.
现在你们不可亵慢， 恐怕捆你们的绑索更结实了； 因为我从主—万军之耶和华那里听见， 已经决定在全地上施行灭绝的事。
23 Give ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
你们当侧耳听我的声音， 留心听我的言语。
24 Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? Is he [all day] opening and breaking the clods of his land?
那耕地为要撒种的， 岂是常常耕地呢？ 岂是常常开垦耙地呢？
25 Doth he not, when he hath levelled the face thereof, cast abroad dill, and scatter cummin, and set the wheat in rows, and the barley in an appointed place, and the rye in its border?
他拉平了地面， 岂不就撒种小茴香， 播种大茴香， 按行列种小麦， 在定处种大麦， 在田边种粗麦呢？
26 His God doth instruct him in [his] judgment, he doth teach him.
因为他的 神教导他务农相宜， 并且指教他。
27 For the dill is not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but dill is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod.
原来打小茴香，不用尖利的器具， 轧大茴香，也不用碌碡； 但用杖打小茴香， 用棍打大茴香。
28 Bread [corn] is crushed, because he will not ever be threshing it; and if he drove the wheels of his cart and his horses [over it], he would not crush it.
做饼的粮食是用磨磨碎， 因它不必常打； 虽用碌碡和马打散， 却不磨它。
29 This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel, great in wisdom.
这也是出于万军之耶和华— 他的谋略奇妙； 他的智慧广大。
