Isaiah 10
1 Tragedy is coming to those who pass evil decrees and who write laws to harm people.
祸哉！那些设立不义之律例的 和记录奸诈之判语的，
2 They pervert the legal rights of the needy, and rob justice from the poor of my people. They steal from widows and cheat orphans.
为要屈枉穷乏人， 夺去我民中困苦人的理， 以寡妇当作掳物， 以孤儿当作掠物。
3 What are you going to do on the day you're punished, when disaster falls on you from far away? Who are you going to run to so you can get help? Where are you going to leave all your wealth?
到降罚的日子，有灾祸从远方临到， 那时，你们怎样行呢？ 你们向谁逃奔求救呢？ 你们的荣耀存留何处呢？
4 All you'll be able to do is to bow down as prisoners, or lie among the dead! In all of this he is still angry and his hand is still raised.
他们只得屈身在被掳的人以下， 仆倒在被杀的人以下。 虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消； 他的手仍伸不缩。
5 Tragedy is coming to the Assyrians, even though the rod they use represents my anger and the stick they hold in their hands represents my fury!
亚述是我怒气的棍， 手中拿我恼恨的杖。
6 I am sending the Assyrians against a nation that has given up on its God, against a people that make me angry. I order the Assyrians to loot them, to take their possessions, and to trample them down like mud in the street.
我要打发他攻击亵渎的国民， 吩咐他攻击我所恼怒的百姓， 抢财为掳物，夺货为掠物， 将他们践踏，像街上的泥土一样。
7 But this isn't what is behind the thinking of the king of Assyria. This isn't the plan he has in mind. What he wants to do is to destroy and eliminate many nations.
然而，他不是这样的意思； 他心也不这样打算。 他心里倒想毁灭， 剪除不少的国。
8 He says: “All my commanders are kings!
他说：我的臣仆岂不都是王吗？
9 We conquered Calno like we did Carchemish; Hamath like Arpad; Samaria like Damascus.
迦勒挪岂不像迦基米施吗？ 哈马岂不像亚珥拔吗？ 撒马利亚岂不像大马士革吗？
10 I was the one who conquered these kingdoms along with the idols of their gods. These kingdoms had images of their gods that were better than those of Jerusalem and Samaria.
我手已经搆到有偶像的国； 这些国雕刻的偶像 过于耶路撒冷和撒马利亚的偶像。
11 Why shouldn't I do to Jerusalem and her idols just what I did to Samaria and her idols?”
我怎样待撒马利亚和其中的偶像， 岂不照样待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像吗？
12 Once the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will punish the king of Assyria for his terrible arrogance and for the conceited look in his eyes.
主在锡安山和耶路撒冷成就他一切工作的时候，主说：“我必罚亚述王自大的心和他高傲眼目的荣耀。”
13 For the king of Assyria says: “I have done this in my own strength. It was through my wisdom, because I'm clever. I have wiped out the boundaries of nations and looted their treasures. Like a bull I knocked their rulers off their thrones.
因为他说： 我所成就的事是靠我手的能力 和我的智慧， 我本有聪明。 我挪移列国的地界， 抢夺他们所积蓄的财宝； 并且我像勇士，使坐宝座的降为卑。
14 Like robbing a bird's nest, I took the wealth of the nations. Like collecting abandoned eggs, I collected the whole the earth. There wasn't a fluttering wing or an open beak, not even a chirp!”
我的手搆到列国的财宝， 好像人搆到鸟窝； 我也得了全地， 好像人拾起所弃的雀蛋。 没有动翅膀的； 没有张嘴的，也没有鸣叫的。
15 Does an ax say it's more important than the person swinging it? Does a saw boast that it's greater than the person sawing with it? It would be as if a rod waved the person holding it, or a walking stick lifted up a person—who certainly wasn't wood!
斧岂可向用斧砍木的自夸呢？ 锯岂可向用锯的自大呢？ 好比棍抡起那举棍的， 好比杖举起那非木的人。
16 So the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will send a disease on the king of Assyria's strong warriors that will make them waste away; a flaming fire will be set under everything he's so proud of.
因此，主—万军之耶和华 必使亚述王的肥壮人变为瘦弱， 在他的荣华之下必有火着起， 如同焚烧一样。
17 Israel's light will become a fire, and his Holy One will become a flame. It will burn up his thorns and brambles in just one day.
以色列的光必如火； 他的圣者必如火焰。 在一日之间，将亚述王的荆棘 和蒺藜焚烧净尽；
18 It will totally destroy its splendid forests and orchards. Assyria will waste away, staggering off like someone sick.
又将他树林和肥田的荣耀全然烧尽， 好像拿军旗的昏过去一样。
19 The trees left in its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
他林中剩下的树必稀少， 就是孩子也能写其数。
20 At that time those who are left in Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer trust in those who turn on them, but they will truly trust in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
到那日，以色列所剩下的和雅各家所逃脱的，不再倚靠那击打他们的，却要诚实倚靠耶和华—以色列的圣者。
21 A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will come back to the Mighty God.
所剩下的，就是雅各家所剩下的，必归回全能的 神。
22 Israel, even though your people are as numerous as sand on the seashore, only a remnant will return. The Lord has rightly decided to destroy his people.
以色列啊，你的百姓虽多如海沙，惟有剩下的归回。原来灭绝的事已定，必有公义施行，如水涨溢。
23 The Lord God Almighty has rightly decided to bring destruction throughout the whole country.
因为主—万军之耶和华在全地之中必成就所定规的结局。
24 So this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says, My people living in Zion, don't be afraid of the Assyrians who beat you with rods and hit you with clubs, just like the Egyptians did.
所以，主—万军之耶和华如此说：“住锡安我的百姓啊，亚述王虽然用棍击打你，又照埃及的样子举杖攻击你，你却不要怕他。
25 Very shortly I will stop being angry with you. Then I will turn my anger on them and I will destroy them.
因为还有一点点时候，向你们发的忿恨就要完毕，我的怒气要向他发作，使他灭亡。
26 The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip, just as he did when he attacked the Midianites at the rock of Oreb. He will hold up his rod over the sea, just as he did in Egypt.
万军之耶和华要兴起鞭来攻击他，好像在俄立磐石那里杀戮米甸人一样。耶和华的杖要向海伸出，把杖举起，像在埃及一样。
27 At that time he will remove the burden from your shoulders and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because of the anointing with oil.
到那日，亚述王的重担必离开你的肩头；他的轭必离开你的颈项；那轭也必因肥壮的缘故撑断。”
28 The Assyrians came to Aiath, passed through Migron, and stored their supplies at Michmash.
亚述王来到亚叶， 经过米矶 ， 在密抹安放辎重。
29 They cross the pass, saying, “We'll stay overnight at Geba.” The people of Ramah tremble in fear; the inhabitants of Gibeah of Saul run away.
他们过了隘口， 在迦巴住宿。 拉玛人战兢； 扫罗的基比亚人逃跑。
30 Shout out a warning, people of Gallim! Pay attention, those living in Laishah! You poor people of Anathoth!
迦琳的居民哪，要高声呼喊！ 莱煞人哪，须听！ 哀哉！困苦的亚拿突啊。
31 The people of Madmenah, are all running away. The inhabitants of Gebim are looking for somewhere safe.
玛得米那人躲避； 基柄的居民逃遁。
32 Today the invaders stop at Nob, shaking their fists at the mountain of the Daughter of Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
当那日，亚述王要在挪伯歇兵， 向锡安女子的山— 就是耶路撒冷的山—抡手攻他。
33 Look how the Lord Almighty is going to chop off the branches with great force. The tall trees will be cut down, the proud trees will be brought crashing down.
看哪，主—万军之耶和华 以惊吓削去树枝； 长高的必被砍下， 高大的必被伐倒。
34 He will cut down the thick forest with an ax, and Lebanon will fall at the hand of the Mighty One.
稠密的树林，他要用铁器砍下； 黎巴嫩的树木必被大能者伐倒。
