Isaiah 57
1 The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.
義人死亡， 無人放在心上； 虔誠人被收去， 無人思念。 這義人被收去是免了將來的禍患；
2 Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.
他們得享平安。 素行正直的，各人在墳裏安歇。
3 But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.
你們這些巫婆的兒子， 姦夫和妓女的種子， 都要前來！
4 Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,
你們向誰戲笑？ 向誰張口吐舌呢？ 你們豈不是悖逆的兒女， 虛謊的種類呢？
5 Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?
你們在橡樹中間，在各青翠樹下慾火攻心； 在山谷間，在石穴下殺了兒女；
6 In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?
在谷中光滑石頭裏有你的分。 這些就是你所得的分； 你也向他澆了奠祭，獻了供物， 因這事我豈能容忍嗎？
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims.
你在高而又高的山上安設床榻， 也上那裏去獻祭。
8 And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand.
你在門後，在門框後， 立起你的紀念； 向外人赤露，又上去擴張床榻， 與他們立約； 你在那裏看見他們的床就甚喜愛。
9 And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
你把油帶到王那裏， 又多加香料， 打發使者往遠方去， 自卑自賤直到陰間， (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked.
你因路遠疲倦， 卻不說這是枉然； 你以為有復興之力， 所以不覺疲憊。
11 For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me.
你怕誰？因誰恐懼？ 竟說謊，不記念我， 又不將這事放在心上。 我不是許久閉口不言， 你仍不怕我嗎？
12 I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee.
我要指明你的公義； 至於你所行的都必與你無益。
13 When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.
你哀求的時候， 讓你所聚集的拯救你吧！ 風要把他們颳散， 一口氣要把他們都吹去。 但那投靠我的必得地土， 必承受我的聖山為業。
14 And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.
耶和華要說： 你們修築修築，預備道路， 將絆腳石從我百姓的路中除掉。
15 For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
因為那至高至上、永遠長存 名為聖者的如此說： 我住在至高至聖的所在， 也與心靈痛悔謙卑的人同居； 要使謙卑人的靈甦醒， 也使痛悔人的心甦醒。
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make.
我必不永遠相爭，也不長久發怒， 恐怕我所造的人與靈性都必發昏。
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.
因他貪婪的罪孽，我就發怒擊打他； 我向他掩面發怒， 他卻仍然隨心背道。
18 I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.
我看見他所行的道，也要醫治他； 又要引導他， 使他和那一同傷心的人再得安慰。
19 I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
我造就嘴唇的果子； 願平安康泰歸與遠處的人， 也歸與近處的人； 並且我要醫治他。 這是耶和華說的。
20 But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire.
惟獨惡人，好像翻騰的海， 不得平靜； 其中的水常湧出污穢和淤泥來。
21 There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God.
我的上帝說：惡人必不得平安！
