Isaiah 57
1 Good people die, and nobody cares; the faithful pass away, and nobody thinks that they were being protected from evil.
义人死亡， 无人放在心上； 虔诚人被收去， 无人思念。 这义人被收去是免了将来的祸患；
2 Those who follow what's right rest in peace; they find rest as they lie down in death.
他们得享平安。 素行正直的，各人在坟里安歇。
3 But as for you, children of fortune-tellers, the product of adultery and prostitution—come here!
你们这些巫婆的儿子， 奸夫和妓女的种子， 都要前来！
4 Who are you making fun of when you make sneering faces and stick out your tongues? Aren't you the children of sin and lies?
你们向谁戏笑？ 向谁张口吐舌呢？ 你们岂不是悖逆的儿女， 虚谎的种类呢？
5 You're the ones having pagan orgies under the oak trees, under every green tree. You sacrifice your children in the valleys and among the rocky peaks.
你们在橡树中间，在各青翠树下欲火攻心； 在山谷间，在石穴下杀了儿女；
6 You have chosen to worship the smooth stones from the streams of the valleys—that's the choice you've made! You have poured out drink offerings to these idols—you have presented them with grain offerings. Should that make me happy?
在谷中光滑石头里有你的分。 这些就是你所得的分； 你也向他浇了奠祭，献了供物， 因这事我岂能容忍吗？
7 You have committed adultery by idol worship on every high mountain; you went there to offer pagan sacrifices.
你在高而又高的山上安设床榻， 也上那里去献祭。
8 You've placed your pagan signs behind your doors and on your doorposts. Deserting me, you took off your clothes and climbed into bed, committing yourselves to those you love to be in bed with. You've seen them naked.
你在门后，在门框后， 立起你的纪念； 向外人赤露，又上去扩张床榻， 与他们立约； 你在那里看见他们的床就甚喜爱。
9 You went to offer Molech olive oil, covering yourself with many perfumes. You sent your messengers to distant places; you even went down into the world of the dead. (Sheol h7585)
你把油带到王那里， 又多加香料， 打发使者往远方去， 自卑自贱直到阴间， (Sheol h7585)
10 You wore yourselves out by such running around, but you didn't give up and say, “It's hopeless!” You found new strength and so didn't become weak.
你因路远疲倦， 却不说这是枉然； 你以为有复兴之力， 所以不觉疲惫。
11 Who were you scared of, who frightened you so much that you lied to me, didn't remember me, didn't even think about me? Is it because I've been quiet for so long that you don't even fear me?
你怕谁？因谁恐惧？ 竟说谎，不记念我， 又不将这事放在心上。 我不是许久闭口不言， 你仍不怕我吗？
12 I'm going to let everyone know about how you're so good and the things you do—but they won't help you!
我要指明你的公义； 至于你所行的都必与你无益。
13 When you cry out for help, let's see if your collection of idols will save you! The wind will blow them all away, just a breath and they're gone! But whoever comes to me for help will own the land and possess my holy mountain.
你哀求的时候， 让你所聚集的拯救你吧！ 风要把他们刮散， 一口气要把他们都吹去。 但那投靠我的必得地土， 必承受我的圣山为业。
14 He will say, Build a highway, remove anything that's in the way of my people.
耶和华要说： 你们修筑修筑，预备道路， 将绊脚石从我百姓的路中除掉。
15 This is what the one who is high above all says, he who lives in eternity, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, together with those who repent and who act humbly, restoring their spirits and encouraging them.
因为那至高至上、永远长存 名为圣者的如此说： 我住在至高至圣的所在， 也与心灵痛悔谦卑的人同居； 要使谦卑人的灵苏醒， 也使痛悔人的心苏醒。
16 I won't fight with you forever; I won't be angry with you forever. Otherwise you'd lose heart, the very people I gave life to.
我必不永远相争，也不长久发怒， 恐怕我所造的人与灵性都必发昏。
17 Yes, I was angry with these sinful, greedy people so I punished them. I was angry, so I hid myself from them, but they went on their own rebellious way, doing whatever they wanted.
因他贪婪的罪孽，我就发怒击打他； 我向他掩面发怒， 他却仍然随心背道。
18 I know what they're doing, but I will heal them. I will lead them and comfort those who mourn,
我看见他所行的道，也要医治他； 又要引导他， 使他和那一同伤心的人再得安慰。
19 so they will able to say thankyou. The Lord declares, Peace, peace, to those who are far away and those who are near. I will heal you.
我造就嘴唇的果子； 愿平安康泰归与远处的人， 也归与近处的人； 并且我要医治他。 这是耶和华说的。
20 But the wicked are like the sea that is tossed about, never keeping still, churning up the mud and muck with its waves.
惟独恶人，好像翻腾的海， 不得平静； 其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥来。
21 There's no peace for the wicked, says my God.
我的 神说：恶人必不得平安！
