< Isaiah 8 >

1 Moreover, the Lord sayd vnto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a mans penne, Make speede to the spoyle: haste to the praye.
耶和华对我说:“你取一个大牌,拿人所用的笔,写上‘玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯’。
2 Then I tooke vnto me faithfull witnesses to recorde, Vriah the Priest, and Zechariah the sonne of Ieberechiah.
我要用诚实的见证人,祭司乌利亚和耶比利家的儿子撒迦利亚记录这事。”
3 After, I came vnto the Prophetesse, which conceiued, and bare a sonne. Then sayd the Lord to me, Call his name, Mahershalalhash-baz.
我—以赛亚与妻子同室;她怀孕生子,耶和华就对我说:“给他起名叫玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯;
4 For before the childe shall haue knowledge to crye, My father, and my mother, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoyle of Samaria, before the King of Asshur.
因为在这小孩子不晓得叫父叫母之先,大马士革的财宝和撒马利亚的掳物必在亚述王面前搬了去。”
5 And the Lord spake yet againe vnto me, saying,
耶和华又晓谕我说:
6 Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that runne softly, and reioyce with Rezin, and the sonne of Remaliah,
“这百姓既厌弃西罗亚缓流的水,喜悦利汛和利玛利的儿子;
7 Nowe therefore, beholde, the Lord bringeth vp vpon them the waters of the Riuer mightie and great, euen the King of Asshur with all his glory, and he shall come vp vpon all their riuers, and goe ouer all their banks,
因此,主必使大河翻腾的水猛然冲来,就是亚述王和他所有的威势,必漫过一切的水道,涨过两岸;
8 And shall breake into Iudah, and shall ouerflowe and passe through, and shall come vp to the necke, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanu-el.
必冲入犹大,涨溢泛滥,直到颈项。以马内利啊,他展开翅膀,遍满你的地。”
9 Gather together on heapes, O ye people, and ye shalbe broken in pieces, and hearken all ye of farre countreys: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces.
列国的人民哪,任凭你们喧嚷,终必破坏; 远方的众人哪,当侧耳而听! 任凭你们束起腰来,终必破坏; 你们束起腰来,终必破坏。
10 Take counsell together, yet it shall be brought to nought: pronounce a decree, yet shall it not stand: for God is with vs.
任凭你们同谋,终归无有; 任凭你们言定,终不成立; 因为 神与我们同在。
11 For the Lord spake thus to me in taking of mine hand, and taught me, that I should not walke in the way of this people, saying,
耶和华以大能的手,指教我不可行这百姓所行的道,对我这样说:
12 Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them.
“这百姓说同谋背叛,你们不要说同谋背叛。他们所怕的,你们不要怕,也不要畏惧。
13 Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,
但要尊万军之耶和华为圣,以他为你们所当怕的,所当畏惧的。
14 And he shalbe as a Sanctuarie: but as a stumbling stone, and as a rocke to fall vpon, to both the houses of Israel, and as a snare and as a net to the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
他必作为圣所,却向以色列两家作绊脚的石头,跌人的磐石;向耶路撒冷的居民作为圈套和网罗。
15 And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall and shalbe broken and shalbe snared and shalbe taken.
许多人必在其上绊脚跌倒,而且跌碎,并陷入网罗,被缠住。”
16 Binde vp the testimonie: seale vp the Law among my disciples.
你要卷起律法书,在我门徒中间封住训诲。
17 Therefore I will waite vpon the Lord that hath hid his face from the house of Iaakob, and I wil looke for him.
我要等候那掩面不顾雅各家的耶和华;我也要仰望他。
18 Beholde, I and the children whome the Lord hath giuen me, are as signes and as wonders in Israel, by the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
看哪,我与耶和华所给我的儿女,就是从住在锡安山万军之耶和华来的,在以色列中作为预兆和奇迹。
19 And when they shall say vnto you, Enquire at them that haue a spirit of diuination, and at the soothsayers, which whisper and murmure, Should not a people enquire at their God? from the liuing to the dead?
有人对你们说:“当求问那些交鬼的和行巫术的,就是声音绵蛮,言语微细的。”你们便回答说:“百姓不当求问自己的 神吗?岂可为活人求问死人呢?”
20 To the Law, and to the testimonie, if they speake not according to this worde: it is because there is no light in them.
人当以训诲和法度为标准;他们所说的,若不与此相符,必不得见晨光。
21 Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and from in it: and when he shalbe hungry, he shall euen freat himselfe, and curse his King and his gods, and shall looke vpward.
他们必经过这地,受艰难,受饥饿;饥饿的时候,心中焦躁,咒骂自己的君王和自己的 神。
22 And when he shall looke to the earth, beholde trouble, and darkenes, vexation and anguish, and he is driuen to darkenes.
仰观上天,俯察下地,不料,尽是艰难、黑暗,和幽暗的痛苦。他们必被赶入乌黑的黑暗中去。
