Isaiah 65
1 I let myself be consulted by people who weren't even asking me questions; I let myself be found by people who weren't even looking for me. To a nation that wasn't even calling for me, I said, “I'm here, I'm here!”
素来没有访问我的，现在求问我； 没有寻找我的，我叫他们遇见； 没有称为我名下的，我对他们说： 我在这里！我在这里！
2 I spread out my hands all day long, pleading with a stubborn people who follow bad ways, doing whatever they choose.
我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓； 他们随自己的意念行不善之道。
3 These people are always making me angry, because they present sacrifices to idols in their sacred gardens, and offer incense on pagan altars made of brick.
这百姓时常当面惹我发怒； 在园中献祭， 在坛上烧香；
4 They spend the night among the graves and in caves, eating pork and cooking other unclean meats.
在坟墓间坐着， 在隐密处住宿， 吃猪肉； 他们器皿中有可憎之物做的汤；
5 They tell others, “Keep your distance! Don't come close to me as I'm too holy to be touched by you!” These people are like smoke in my nostrils, a stink burning all day long!
且对人说：你站开吧！ 不要挨近我，因为我比你圣洁。 主说：这些人是我鼻中的烟， 是整天烧着的火。
6 Look—it's all written down right in front of me! I'm not going to keep quiet. I'm going to pay them back by throwing their punishment into their laps.
看哪，这都写在我面前。 我必不静默，必施行报应， 必将你们的罪孽和你们列祖的罪孽， 就是在山上烧香， 在冈上亵渎我的罪孽， 一同报应在他们后人怀中， 我先要把他们所行的量给他们； 这是耶和华说的。
7 I'm going to pay you back for both your own sins and the sins of your forefathers, says the Lord, because they burned incense on the mountains and ridiculed me on the hills. I'm going to measure into their laps full payment for what they've done.
8 This is what the Lord says: It's like when there's a bit of juice left in a bunch of grapes and people say, “Don't get rid of it all; there's still some good in it,” I'll do the same for my servants—I won't destroy them all.
耶和华如此说：葡萄中寻得新酒， 人就说：不要毁坏， 因为福在其中。 我因我仆人的缘故也必照样而行， 不将他们全然毁灭。
9 I will make sure Jacob has descendants, and people from Judah who can take ownership of my mountain. My chosen ones, my servants, will own the land and live there.
我必从雅各中领出后裔， 从犹大中领出承受我众山的。 我的选民必承受； 我的仆人要在那里居住。
10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to rest, for my people who follow me.
沙 平原必成为羊群的圈； 亚割谷必成为牛群躺卧之处， 都为寻求我的民所得。
11 But those of you who desert the Lord and forget about my holy mountain, who prepare feasts for the god of good luck, who fill jugs of mixed wine for the god of destiny,
但你们这些离弃耶和华、 忘记我的圣山、给时运摆筵席、 给天命盛满调和酒的，
12 I will make sure your destiny is to be killed by the sword. All of you will bow down to be slaughtered, because I called out to you but you didn't answer; I spoke to you, but you didn't listen. Instead you did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
我要命定你们归在刀下， 都必屈身被杀； 因为我呼唤，你们没有答应； 我说话，你们没有听从； 反倒行我眼中看为恶的， 拣选我所不喜悦的。
13 So this is what the Lord says, My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will celebrate, but you will feel ashamed.
所以，主耶和华如此说： 我的仆人必得吃，你们却饥饿； 我的仆人必得喝，你们却干渴； 我的仆人必欢喜，你们却蒙羞。
14 Listen! My servants will shout because they're so happy inside, but you will cry out in deepest pain, howling because your spirit is broken.
我的仆人因心中高兴欢呼， 你们却因心中忧愁哀哭， 又因心里忧伤哀号。
15 Your name will only be used as a curse by my chosen ones, for the Lord God will kill you and give his servants another name.
你们必留下自己的名， 为我选民指着赌咒。 主耶和华必杀你们， 另起别名称呼他的仆人。
16 Whoever asks a blessing or takes an oath in the land will do so by the one true God, for I have forgotten the troubles of the past—I don't look on them anymore.
这样，在地上为自己求福的， 必凭真实的 神求福； 在地上起誓的， 必指真实的 神起誓。 因为，从前的患难已经忘记， 也从我眼前隐藏了。
17 Look! I'm going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won't be remembered—they won't cross anyone's mind!
看哪！我造新天新地； 从前的事不再被记念，也不再追想。
18 Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I'm going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy.
你们当因我所造的永远欢喜快乐； 因我造耶路撒冷为人所喜， 造其中的居民为人所乐。
19 I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won't ever be heard there again.
我必因耶路撒冷欢喜， 因我的百姓快乐； 其中必不再听见哭泣的声音和哀号的声音。
20 No babies will die after just a few days, and no adults will die without having lived a long life. Those who reach a hundred will be thought of as just a child, and anyone who doesn't reach a hundred will be seen as being under a curse.
其中必没有数日夭亡的婴孩， 也没有寿数不满的老者； 因为百岁死的仍算孩童， 有百岁死的罪人算被咒诅。
21 They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
他们要建造房屋，自己居住； 栽种葡萄园，吃其中的果子。
22 No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
他们建造的，别人不得住； 他们栽种的，别人不得吃； 因为我民的日子必像树木的日子； 我选民亲手劳碌得来的必长久享用。
23 They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
他们必不徒然劳碌， 所生产的，也不遭灾害， 因为都是蒙耶和华赐福的后裔； 他们的子孙也是如此。
24 I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
他们尚未求告，我就应允； 正说话的时候，我就垂听。
25 The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
豺狼必与羊羔同食； 狮子必吃草与牛一样； 尘土必作蛇的食物。 在我圣山的遍处， 这一切都不伤人，不害物。 这是耶和华说的。
