Isaiah 10
1 Woe vnto them that decree wicked decrees, and write grieuous things,
禍哉，那些制定不義的法例，記錄不義的斷案，
2 To keepe backe ye poore from iudgement, and to take away the iudgement of the poore of my people, that widowes may be their pray, and that they may spoyle the fatherlesse.
為屈枉小民的案件，剝削我窮民的權利，攘奪寡婦和劫掠孤兒的人！
3 What will ye doe nowe in the day of visitation, and of destruction, which shall come from farre? to whom will ye flee for helpe? and where will ye leaue your glorie?
當懲罰之日，風暴由遠而近的時候，你們將怎樣應付﹖你們將向誰求助﹖你們的財寶將棄於何地﹖
4 Without me euery one shall fall among them that are bound, and they shall fall downe among the slayne: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
唯有屈伏在被俘者中，倒斃在被殺者下；然而他的震怒並未因此而熄滅，他的手仍然伸著。
5 O Asshur, the rodde of my wrath: and the staffe in their hands is mine indignation.
禍哉，亞述！我義怒的木棒，我震怒的棍杖！
6 I will sende him to a dissembling nation, and I will giue him a charge against the people of my wrath to take the spoyle and to take the pray, and to treade them vnder feete like the mire in the streete.
我派遣她是為攻擊一個邪惡的百姓，我委任他是為攻擊我所憤恨的民族，為擄掠劫奪，並為蹂躪他們，有如街上的糞土。
7 But he thinketh not so, neither doeth his heart esteeme it so: but he imagineth to destroy and to cut off not a fewe nations.
但她並沒有這樣想，心裏也沒有這樣推測，只圖肆意破壞，剿滅不少的民族。
8 For he sayeth, Are not my princes altogether Kings?
因為她說：「我的首領不都是君王嗎﹖
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
加耳諾不是與與加革米士一樣嗎﹖哈瑪特不是與阿爾帕得一樣嗎﹖撒瑪黎雅不是與大馬士革一樣嗎﹖
10 Like as mine hand hath founde the kingdomes of the idoles, seeing their idoles were aboue Ierusalem, and aboue Samaria:
我的手既然征服了這些偶像的王國－－況且他們的偶像還多過耶路撒冷和撒瑪黎雅－－
11 Shall not I, as I haue done to Samaria, and to the idoles thereof, so doe to Ierusalem and to the idoles thereof?
難道我不能對待耶路撒冷和她的神像，有如對待了撒瑪黎雅和她的偶像嗎﹖」
12 But when the Lord hath accomplished all his worke vpon mount Zion and Ierusalem, I will visite the fruite of the proude heart of the King of Asshur, and his glorious and proud lookes,
當吾主對熙雍山和耶路撒冷完成了他的一切工作時，必要懲罰亞述王心高氣傲的功績，和他目空一切的驕傲。
13 Because he said, By ye power of mine owne hand haue I done it, and by my wisdome, because I am wise: therefore I haue remooued the borders of the people, and haue spoyled their treasures, and haue pulled downe the inhabitants like a valiant man.
因為他曾說過：「我完成了這一切，全憑我的手和我的智慧，因為我是聰明的；我撤除了各民族的界限，擄掠了他們的財寶，有如強者打倒了居於高位的人。
14 And mine hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people, and as one gathereth egges that are left, so haue I gathered all the earth: and there was none to mooue the wing or to open the mouth, or to whisper.
我的手奪取了列國的財富，有如取諸窩巢；我兼併了大地，有如拾取遺卵，沒有誰敢鼓翼和張口鼓噪。」
15 Shall the axe boast it selfe against him that heweth therewith? or shall the sawe exalt it selfe against him that moueth it? as if the rod shoulde lift vp it selfe against him that taketh it vp, or the staffe should exalt it selfe, as it were no wood.
斧頭豈能對用斧頭砍伐的人自豪﹖鋸豈能向拉鋸的人自誇﹖難道棍杖能揮動那舉它的人﹖木棒能舉起那不是木頭的人﹖
16 Therefore shall the Lord God of hostes send amog his fat men, leannes, and vnder his glorie he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of fire.
因此吾主，萬軍的天主，將瘦弱放在她的肥碩之中，在她的光輝之下燃起火燄，有如烈火焚燒。
17 And the light of Israel shalbe as a fire, and the Holy one thereof as a flame, and it shall burne, and deuoure his thornes and his briers in one day:
以色列的光將變為火，他的聖者將變為烈燄，一日間即將她的荊棘蒺藜焚燬。
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitfull fieldes both soule and flesh: and he shalbe as ye fainting of a standard bearer.
她的叢林和她田園的華麗，必將由內到外毀滅，有如為蟲蝕盡一樣。
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shalbe fewe, that a childe may tell them.
她的叢林所剩餘的樹木不多，一個兒童就能計算。
20 And at that day shall the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Iaakob, stay no more vpon him that smote them, but shall stay vpon ye Lord, ye Holy one of Israel in trueth.
到那一日，以色列的遺民和雅各伯家的逃亡者，不再依恃打擊他們的人，卻誠心依賴上主，以色列的聖者。
21 The remnant shall returne, euen the remnant of Iaakob vnto the mightie God.
遺民必將歸回，雅各伯的遺民必將歸依強有力的天主！
22 For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, yet shall the remnant of them returne. The consumption decreed shall ouerflow with righteousnesse.
以色列啊！ 你的百姓雖然多如海沙，其中唯有殘存者得以歸回：毀滅已經決定，但是充溢著公義，
23 For the Lord God of hostes shall make the consumption, euen determined, in the middes of all the land.
因為吾主，萬軍的上主必在大地上執行所決定的毀滅。
24 Therefore thus saith ye Lord God of hostes, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of Asshur: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift vp his staffe against thee after the maner of Egypt:
因此吾主，萬軍的上主這樣說：我的百姓，熙雍的居民！亞述雖然用木棒痛擊你，像埃及一樣，舉起棍杖敲打你，但你不必害怕，
25 But yet a very litle time, and the wrath shall be consumed, and mine anger in their destruction.
因為瞬息間我的怒氣即將終止，我的憤怒將轉為他們的毀滅。
26 And ye Lord of hostes shall raise vp a scourge for him, according to the plague of Midian in the rocke Oreb: and as his staffe was vpon the Sea, so he will lift it vp after the maner of Egypt.
萬軍的上主將揮動刑鞭鞭打他們，有如昔日在曷勒布磐石處打擊米德楊一樣；高舉向海上伸出的棍杖，有如在埃及一樣。
27 And at that day shall his burden be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy necke: and the yoke shalbe destroied because of the anoynting.
到那日，她的重負將由你肩上卸下，她的重軛將由你頸上解除。
28 He is come to Aiath: he is passed into Migron: at Michmash shall he lay vp his armour.
破壞者由黎孟而來，來到阿雅特，經過米革龍，將輜重貯在米革瑪斯；
29 They haue gone ouer the foorde: they lodged in the lodging at Geba: Ramah is afraide: Gibeah of Saul is fled away.
又穿過要隘，夜宿革巴。辣瑪驚慌了，撒烏耳的基貝亞逃走了。
30 Lift vp thy voyce, O daughter Gallim, cause Laish to heare, O poore Anathoth.
巴特加林！你們應大聲疾呼；拉依士！你們應該傾聽；阿納托特！你們應該回答。
31 Madmenah is remoued: the inhabitants of Gebim haue gathered themselues together.
瑪德默納走散了，革平的居民逃避了。
32 Yet there is a time that he will stay at Nob: he shall lift vp his hand towarde the mount of the daughter Zion, the hill of Ierusalem.
在諾布暫停一天，遂即揮手指向熙雍女兒山，耶路撒冷的山崗。
33 Beholde, the Lord God of hostes shall cut off the bough with feare, and they of high stature shalbe cut off, and the hie shalbe humbled.
看啊！吾主，萬軍的上主將用斧鉞砍伐枝幹：高出的要削去，聳出的要砍低。
34 And he shall cut away the thicke places of the forest with yron, and Lebanon shall haue a mightie fall.
他將用鐵斧砍伐叢林，黎巴嫩和她的壯麗必被伐倒。
