Isaiah 47
1 Come downe and sit in the dust: O virgine, daughter Babel, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, Tender and delicate.
巴比倫處女！下去，坐在塵土中罷！加色丁貞女！讓位，坐在地上罷！因為你已不再稱為「嬌媚」「柔嫩」了。
2 Take the mill stones, and grinde meale: loose thy lockes: make bare the feete: vncouer the legge, and passe through the floods.
揭去面紗，拿磨去磨麵罷！捲起長裙，露出大腿去涉河罷！
3 Thy filthinesse shall be discouered, and thy shame shall be seene: I will take vengeance, and I will not meete thee as a man.
你的裸體要暴露，你的羞恥要現出！我要復仇，決不憐惜任何人。
4 Our redeemer, the Lord of hostes is his Name, the holy one of Israel.
我們的救主－－他的名字是萬軍的上主－－說。
5 Sit still, and get thee into darkenesse, O daughter of the Chaldeas: for thou shalt no more be called, The ladie of kingdomes.
加色丁處女！靜靜地坐下：進入黑暗中罷！因為你不再稱為「萬國之后！」
6 I was wroth with my people: I haue polluted mine inheritance, and giuen them into thine had: thou diddest shew them no mercy, but thou didest lay thy very heauy yoke vpon the ancient.
我曾向我的人民發怒，污辱了我的產業；我將他們交在你手中，可是你對他們沒有表示仁慈，將你的軛重重地壓在老者身上。
7 And thou saidest, I shall be a ladie for euer, so that thou diddest not set thy mind to these things, neither diddest thou remember ye latter end therof.
你說過：「我永久要作王后！」但你心中從沒有考慮過這事，也沒有想過這事的結局。
8 Therefore nowe heare, thou that art giuen to pleasures, and dwellest carelesse, Shee sayeth in her heart, I am and none els: I shall not sit as a widowe, neither shall knowe the losse of children.
你這淫逸安居的人，你心裏想：「只有我而沒有別人！我決不會寡居，也決不會喪子！ 」如今你聽這話：
9 But these two thinges shall come to thee suddenly on one day, the losse of children and widowhoode: they shall come vpon thee in their perfection, for the multitude of thy diuinations, and for the great abundance of thine inchanters.
這兩樣在一天內會突然一起降在你身上；雖然你能行許多巫術，能念極威力的符咒，喪子與守寡仍要完全降到你身上。
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickednesse: thou hast sayd, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, they haue caused thee to rebel, and thou hast saide in thine heart, I am, and none els.
你自恃於惡說：「沒有人看見我！ 」那是你的聰明和知識迷惑了你，叫你心中妄想：「只有我而沒有別人。」
11 Therefore shall euill come vpon thee, and thou shalt not knowe the morning thereof: destruction shall fal vpon thee, which thou shalt not be able to put away: destruction shall come vpon thee suddenly, or thou beware.
災禍必要臨到你身上，你卻不能禳災；患難要降在你身上，但你不能阻止；你從未料到的滅亡，要突然來到你身上。
12 Stand now among thine inchanters, and in the multitude of thy southsaiers (with whome thou hast wearied thy selfe from thy youth) if so be thou maist haue profit, or if so be thou maist haue strength.
請你繼續行你自幼即勞碌習行的咒術和那無數的巫術罷！這或許能於你有利，或者能叫人害怕。
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the starre gasers, and prognosticatours stand vp, and saue thee from these things, that shall come vpon thee.
你也許聽倦了那許多計謀，現在讓那些測天體，觀星辰和每月預告你未來之事的人們前來拯救你罷！
14 Beholde, they shall be as stubble: the fire shall burne them: they shall not deliuer their owne liues from the power of the flame: there shalbe no coles to warme at, nor light to sit by.
看哪！他們都像枯草，必為火所焚燒；他們連自己也不能由火的威力中救出，因為這不是為取煖的炭火，也不是座前的爐火。
15 Thus shall they serue thee, with whom thou hast wearied thee, euen thy marchants from thy youth: euery one shall wander to his owne quarter: none shall saue thee.
你那些自幼與之共同勞碌的巫士，為你都是如此；他們各散東西，沒有誰來救你。
