Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and that dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; when thou shalt make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
禍哉，你這不受侵害而侵害人，不受劫掠而劫掠人的人！當你侵害完了，你將遭受別人的侵害；當你劫掠完了，你將遭受別人的劫掠。
2 Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be their arm every morning, yea, our salvation in the time of trouble.
上主啊！憐恤我們罷！我們仰望你，每日清晨，請作我們的臂膊！在窘迫時，請作我們的救援！
3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
叫囂的聲音一響，民眾遂即逃遁；你一奮起，萬民便都潰散。
4 And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running of locusts shall they run upon it.
人們收集掠物，有如拾取蚱蜢；急於劫掠，有如蝗蟲疾跳。
5 Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness;
上主是崇高的，因為他居於高處；他以正義和公平充盈了熙雍。
6 and he shall be the stability of thy times, the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah shall be your treasure.
他是你命運的保障，得救的府庫、智慧和明智；敬畏上主， 將是你的寶藏。
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the messengers of peace weep bitterly.
看哪！傳信的的人在外號叫，和平使者悲痛啼哭。
8 The highways are desolate, the wayfaring man ceaseth. He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
大路已經荒廢，行旅已經絕跡。他撕毀了盟約，藐視了證人，不顧及任何人。
9 The land mourneth, it languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, is withered; the Sharon is become as a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped.
地域悽慘頹廢，黎巴嫩慚赧憔悴，沙龍變成荒野，巴商和加爾默耳搖曳凋零。
10 Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.
上主說：「現在我要起來，現在我要奮發，現在我要受尊崇！
11 Ye shall conceive dry grass, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath shall devour you [as] fire.
你們所懷的是枯草，所生的是碎湝；我的氣息有如火燄，必將你們焚盡！
12 And the peoples shall be [as] burnings of lime, [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
萬民將被焚燒，有如石灰，又如斬斷的荊棘燬於火中。
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
遠方的人要聽到我的作為，近處的人要嘗試我的能力！」
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the hypocrites: Who among us shall dwell with the consuming fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting flames?
熙雍的罪人戰兢害怕，不法之徒為恐懼所攫：「我們中誰能與吞噬的烈火同居﹖我們中誰能與不滅的烈燄共處﹖」
15 — He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil:
那行走正道，出言真誠的，鄙棄欺詐入息的，搖手不受賄賂的，充耳不聞流血陰謀的，閉眼不看邪惡的：
16 he shall dwell on high, the fortresses of the rocks shall be his high retreat; bread shall be given him, his water shall be sure.
這樣的人要居高處，巖石上的保壘將作他的保障，他的食物有人供應，他的水可得保全。
17 Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off.
你必要舉目瞻仰具有華美的君王，要遙望幅員廣闊的地帶。
18 Thy heart shall meditate on terror: Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
你的心追憶起已往的恐怖時，要說：「登記的人員在那裏呢﹖量銀的人員在那裏呢﹖數點城堡的人又在那裏呢﹖」
19 Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst comprehend, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood.
你再見不到那野蠻的民族，即言語深邃而難以領悟，說話口吃而不易理喻的民族。
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be pulled up, neither shall any of its cords be broken;
你將觀看熙雍，我們集會的城邑；你的眼將見到耶路撒冷，安全的寓所，不動搖的帳幕；她的木樁永不能拔出，她所有的繩索也不能拉斷。
21 but there Jehovah is unto us glorious, — a place of rivers, of broad streams: no galley with oars shall go there, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
榮耀的上主在那裏將作我們的巨川大河，沒有舟楫往來其間，也沒有遊艇划過。
22 For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah, our lawgiver, Jehovah, our king: he will save us.
它的繩索鬆弛了，沒有穩固桅杆的力量，也沒有扯起船帆的力量。
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they strengthen not the socket of their mast, they cannot spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
因為上主是我們的判官，上主是我們的立法者，上主是我們的君王，他必拯救我們。
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven [their] iniquity.
那時，瞎子要分得許多戰利品，瘸子要取得擄獲物。 沒有一個居民再會說：「我病了。」住在那裏的人必將獲得罪赦。
