Isaiah 26
1 At that time, this will be the song that is sung in the land of Judah: “Ours is a strong city! Its walls and defenses are our salvation!
当那日，在犹大地人必唱这歌说： 我们有坚固的城。 耶和华要将救恩定为城墙，为外郭。
2 Open the gates so the nation who follows the right can come in, the nation that stays faithful.
敞开城门， 使守信的义民得以进入。
3 You will keep in complete peace those who keep their minds focused on you, because they trust in you.
坚心倚赖你的， 你必保守他十分平安， 因为他倚靠你。
4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
你们当倚靠耶和华直到永远， 因为耶和华是永久的磐石。
5 He brings down those who live so high and mighty; he demolishes the proud city with its high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
他使住高处的与高城一并败落， 将城拆毁，拆平，直到尘埃，
6 The poor tread it underfoot; the oppressed walk on top of it.
要被脚践踏， 就是被困苦人的脚和穷乏人的脚践踏。
7 You God, do what is right, and you straighten out the way for those who live right; you smooth out their path.
义人的道是正直的； 你为正直的主，必修平义人的路。
8 Yes, we follow your instructions, Lord, we put our hope in you. What we most want is to remember you and your wonderful character.
耶和华啊，我们在你行审判的路上等候你； 我们心里所羡慕的是你的名， 就是你那可记念的名。
9 I look for you in the night; deep inside me I long for you. When your laws are shown to the earth, then the people of the world learn what is right.
夜间，我心中羡慕你； 我里面的灵切切寻求你。 因为你在世上行审判的时候， 地上的居民就学习公义。
10 Though grace is shown to the wicked, they don't learn to do right. Even in a country where people do what's right, they continue to do evil and they don't think about how great the Lord is.
以恩惠待恶人， 他仍不学习公义； 在正直的地上，他必行事不义， 也不注意耶和华的威严。
11 Lord, you are holding your hand up, but they don't see it. Let them see your passionate commitment for your people, and be embarrassed; may the fire reserved for your enemies destroy them!
耶和华啊，你的手高举， 他们仍然不看； 却要看你为百姓发的热心，因而抱愧， 并且有火烧灭你的敌人。
12 Lord, you give us peace and prosperity; everything we've achieved you have done for us.
耶和华啊，你必派定我们得平安， 因为我们所做的事都是你给我们成就的。
13 Lord our God, there have been other lords besides you who have ruled us, but you are the only one we worship.
耶和华—我们的 神啊， 在你以外曾有别的主管辖我们， 但我们专要倚靠你，提你的名。
14 They are dead, they will not live again; they will not rise from the grave. Lord, you punished them and destroyed them—even wiping out every memory about them.
他们死了，必不能再活； 他们去世，必不能再起； 因为你刑罚他们，毁灭他们， 他们的名号就全然消灭。
15 You have made the nation grow, Lord, you have made the nation grow. You have expanded our borders of the land, and we honored you.
耶和华啊，你增添国民， 你增添国民； 你得了荣耀， 又扩张地的四境。
16 Lord, when we were suffering we came to you, pouring out our prayers like whispers as you disciplined us.
耶和华啊，他们在急难中寻求你； 你的惩罚临到他们身上， 他们就倾心吐胆祷告你。
17 Just as a pregnant woman giving birth tosses about and cries out in pain, that's what we were like in your presence, Lord.
妇人怀孕，临产疼痛， 在痛苦之中喊叫； 耶和华啊，我们在你面前也是如此。
18 However, even though we became pregnant and we tossed about in pain, we gave birth to nothing but air. We did not bring about the salvation of the earth, and the people of the world have not become alive.
我们也曾怀孕疼痛， 所产的竟像风一样。 我们在地上未曾行什么拯救的事； 世上的居民也未曾败落。
19 But those who died in you, Lord, will live! Their bodies will rise again! Wake up, and sing for joy, you people sleeping in the dust, for the dew you receive is like the dew of the morning giving life to those in the grave.
死人要复活， 尸首要兴起。 睡在尘埃的啊，要醒起歌唱！ 因你的甘露好像菜蔬上的甘露， 地也要交出死人来。
20 My people, go inside your homes and close your doors behind you. Hide there for a little while until the fury has passed.
我的百姓啊，你们要来进入内室， 关上门，隐藏片时， 等到忿怒过去。
21 Watch out! The Lord is coming from where he lives to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will reveal the blood that has been shed on it; the earth won't hide those who have been killed any no longer.”
因为耶和华从他的居所出来， 要刑罚地上居民的罪孽。 地也必露出其中的血， 不再掩盖被杀的人。
