Isaiah 65
1 I have bene sought of them that asked not: I was found of them that sought me not: I sayd, Beholde me, beholde me, vnto a nation that called not vpon my Name.
從未求問我的，我要讓他尋求我；從未尋找我的，我要讓他找到我；我對那從未稱呼我名的民族說：「看，我在這裏！我在這裏！」
2 I haue spred out mine handes all the day vnto a rebellious people, which walked in a way that was not good, euen after their owne imaginations:
我整天向悖逆的民族，即隨自己的思念走邪辟路的人，伸出我的手。
3 A people that prouoked me euer vnto my face: that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense vpon brickes.
這民族時常在我面前惹我發怒，在園中獻祭，在磚台上焚香；
4 Which remaine among the graues, and lodge in the desarts, which eate swines flesh, and the broth of things polluted are in their vessels.
他們住在墳墓內，宿在隱密處，吃豬肉，在他們的器皿中都是些不潔之物，
5 Which say, Stand apart, come not neere to me: for I am holier then thou: these are a smoke in my wrath and a fire that burneth all the day.
他們還對人說：「站遠點，別靠近我，怕我聖潔了你。」這些事真叫我鼻子冒煙，整日冒火。
6 Beholde, it is written before me: I wil not keepe silence, but will render it and recompense it into their bosome.
看哪！這一切已在我面前寫定；我決不緘默，我非報復不可。
7 Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers shalbe together (sayth the Lord) which haue burnt incense vpon the mountaines, and blasphemed me vpon the hilles: therefore wil I measure their olde worke into their bosome.
我要一起報復他們的罪惡和他們祖先的罪惡：上主說。因為他們在山上燒過香，在丘陵上褻謾過我，所以我要量好他們應得的報酬，報應到他們的懷中。
8 Thus sayth the Lord, As the wine is found in the cluster, and one sayth, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it, so will I doe for my seruants sakes, that I may not destroy them whole.
上主這樣說：「就如當人發現葡萄內尚有酒汁時，就說：不要破壞它，因為裏面還有祝福；我為了我的僕人也要這樣作，不將他們完全消滅。
9 But I will bring a seede out of Iaakob, and out of Iudah, that shall inherit my mountaine: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my seruants shall dwell there.
我要使雅各伯生出苗裔，使猶大生出繼承我山的人；我的選民要以她為業，我的僕人要住在那裏。
10 And Sharon shalbe a sheepefolde, and the valley of Achor shalbe a resting place for the cattell of my people, that haue sought me.
為那尋求我的百姓，沙龍將成為羊群的牧場，阿苛爾山谷為那尋求我的百姓，要成為牛群的棲所。」「
11 But ye are they that haue forsaken the Lord and forgotten mine holy Mountaine, and haue prepared a table for the multitude, and furnish the drinke offerings vnto the number.
至於你們這些離棄上主，忘記我的聖山，為加得神設宴，給默尼神注滿調和的酒的人，
12 Therefore wil I number you to the sword, and all you shall bowe downe to the slaughter, because I called, and ye did not answere: I spake, and ye heard not, but did euil in my sight, and did chuse that thing which I would not.
我注定了你們歸於刀下，你們要屈身受戮；因為我喊叫你們，你們沒有回答；我說話，你們不肯聽，反而去行我視為惡的事，揀選我所不喜歡的事。」
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, my seruants shall eate, and ye shalbe hungrie: beholde, my seruants shall drinke, and ye shall be thirstie: beholde, my seruants shall reioyce, and ye shalbe ashamed.
因此吾主上主這樣說：「你們要看見我的僕人有得吃，你們卻要飢餓；你們看見我的僕人有得喝，你們卻要口渴；你們看見我的僕人喜樂，你們卻要哭泣；
14 Beholde, my seruants shall sing for ioye of heart, and ye shall crye for sorow of heart, and shall howle for vexation of minde.
你們看見我的僕人因心中快樂而歡慶，你們卻要因心中憂苦而悲號，因喪氣而哀傷。
15 And ye shall leaue your name as a curse vnto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay you and call his seruants by another name.
你們將留下你們的名給我的選民作咒詞：『吾主上主將如此叫你死！』但是我的僕人要有另一個名字作稱呼。」
16 He that shall blesse in the earth, shall blesse himselfe in the true God, and he that sweareth in the earth, shall sweare by the true God: for the former troubles are forgotten, and shall surely hide themselues from mine eyes.
所以那在地上為自己求福的，要向真實的天主求福；那在地上起誓的，要指著真實的天主起誓，因為先前的苦難都已忘記，從我的眼前隱匿了。
17 For lo, I will create newe heauens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembred nor come into minde.
因為，看，我要創造新天新地，先前的不再被記憶，不再被關心。
18 But be you glad and reioyce for euer in the things that I shall create: for beholde, I will create Ierusalem, as a reioycing and her people as a ioye,
人們都要因我所造的而永遠喜悅快樂；因為，看，我要造一座令人喜悅的耶路撒冷，一個令人歡樂的百姓。
19 And I wil reioyce in Ierusalem, and ioye in my people, and the voyce of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voyce of crying.
我要因耶路撒冷而喜悅，因我的百姓而歡欣，其中再聽不到哭泣和哀號的聲音。
20 There shall be no more there a childe of yeeres, nor an olde man that hath not filled his dayes: for he that shall be an hundreth yeeres old, shall dye as a yong man: but the sinner being an hundreth yeeres olde shall be accursed.
那裏再沒有夭折的嬰兒和不滿壽數的老人；百歲死去的人算是青年，凡活不到百歲的人算是被詛咒的。
21 And they shall build houses and inhabite them, and they shall plant vineyards, and eate the fruite of them.
他們要建築房舍，自居其中；種植葡萄，自食其果；
22 They shall not build, and another inhabite: they shall not plant, and another eate: for as the dayes of the tree are the dayes of my people, and mine elect shall inioye in olde age the worke of their handes.
並不是他們建築而別人來住，他們種植而別人來吃，因為我百姓的壽數有如樹木的年數，我的選民要享用她自己的勞作。
23 They shall not labour in vaine, nor bring forth in feare: for they are the seede of the blessed of the Lord, and their buds with them.
他們不再徒然勤勞，生子不再受驚，因為他們是上主祝福的苗裔，他們的子孫亦將如此。
24 Yea, before they call, I will answere, and whiles they speake, I will heare.
那時，他們還未呼求，我已答應了；他們還在祈禱，我已俯允了。
25 The wolfe and the lambe shall feede together, and the lyon shall eate strawe like the bullocke: and to the serpent dust shall be his meate. They shall no more hurt nor destroy in all mine holy Mountaine, saith the Lord.
豺狼和羔羊將要一齊牧放，獅子要如牛犢一般吃草，塵土將是大蛇的食物；在我的整個聖山上，再沒有誰作惡，也沒有誰害人：上主說。
