< 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.
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 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:
我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓; 他们随自己的意念行不善之道。
3 A people that prouoked me euer vnto my face: that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense vpon brickes.
这百姓时常当面惹我发怒; 在园中献祭, 在坛上烧香;
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.
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 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.
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 Beholde, it is written before me: I wil not keepe silence, but will render it and recompense it into their bosome.
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 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.
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.
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 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 And Sharon shalbe a sheepefolde, and the valley of Achor shalbe a resting place for the cattell of my people, that haue sought 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 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.
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 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 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.
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 Beholde, my seruants shall sing for ioye of heart, and ye shall crye for sorow of heart, and shall howle for vexation of minde.
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 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 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.
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 For lo, I will create newe heauens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembred nor come into minde.
看哪!我造新天新地; 从前的事不再被记念,也不再追想。
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,
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 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 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.
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 And they shall build houses and inhabite them, and they shall plant vineyards, and eate the fruite of them.
他们要建造房屋,自己居住; 栽种葡萄园,吃其中的果子。
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.
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 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 Yea, before they call, I will answere, and whiles they speake, I will heare.
他们尚未求告,我就应允; 正说话的时候,我就垂听。
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。
