Isaiah 1
1 A vision of Isaiah, the sonne of Amoz, which he sawe concerning Iudah and Ierusalem: in the dayes of Vzziah, Iotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah.
當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大王的時候，亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示，論到猶大和耶路撒冷。
2 Heare, O heauens, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord hath sayde, I haue nourished and brought vp children, but they haue rebelled against me.
天哪，要聽！地啊，側耳而聽！ 因為耶和華說： 我養育兒女，將他們養大， 他們竟悖逆我。
3 The oxe knoweth his owner, and the asse his masters crib: but Israel hath not knowen: my people hath not vnderstand.
牛認識主人， 驢認識主人的槽， 以色列卻不認識； 我的民卻不留意。
4 Ah, sinfull nation, a people laden with iniquitie: a seede of the wicked, corrupt children: they haue forsaken the Lord: they haue prouoked the holy one of Israel to anger: they are gone backewarde.
嗐！犯罪的國民， 擔着罪孽的百姓； 行惡的種類， 敗壞的兒女！ 他們離棄耶和華， 藐視以色列的聖者， 與他生疏，往後退步。
5 Wherefore shoulde ye be smitten any more? for ye fall away more and more: the whole head is sicke, and the whole heart is heauie.
你們為甚麼屢次悖逆， 還要受責打嗎？ 你們已經滿頭疼痛， 全心發昏。
6 From the sole of the foote vnto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds, and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they haue not bene wrapped, nor bound vp, nor mollified with oyle.
從腳掌到頭頂， 沒有一處完全的， 盡是傷口、青腫，與新打的傷痕， 都沒有收口，沒有纏裹， 也沒有用膏滋潤。
7 Your land is waste: your cities are burnt with fire: strangers deuoure your lande in your presence, and it is desolate like the ouerthrowe of strangers.
你們的地土已經荒涼； 你們的城邑被火焚毀。 你們的田地在你們眼前為外邦人所侵吞， 既被外邦人傾覆就成為荒涼。
8 And the daughter of Zion shall remaine like a cotage in a vineyarde, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and like a besieged citie.
僅存錫安城， 好像葡萄園的草棚， 瓜田的茅屋， 被圍困的城邑。
9 Except the Lord of hostes had reserued vnto vs, euen a small remnant: we should haue bene as Sodom, and should haue bene like vnto Gomorah.
若不是萬軍之耶和華給我們稍留餘種， 我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉的樣子了。
10 Heare the worde of the Lord, O princes of Sodom: hearken vnto the Law of our God, O people of Gomorah.
你們這所多瑪的官長啊， 要聽耶和華的話！ 你們這蛾摩拉的百姓啊， 要側耳聽我們上帝的訓誨！
11 What haue I to doe with the multitude of your sacrifices, sayth the Lord? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and of the fat of fed beasts: and I desire not the blood of bullocks, nor of lambs, nor of goates.
耶和華說： 你們所獻的許多祭物與我何益呢？ 公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油， 我已經夠了； 公牛的血，羊羔的血，公山羊的血， 我都不喜悅。
12 When ye come to appeare before me, who required this of your hands to tread in my courts?
你們來朝見我， 誰向你們討這些， 使你們踐踏我的院宇呢？
13 Bring no more oblations, in vaine: incense is an abomination vnto me: I can not suffer your newe moones, nor Sabbaths, nor solemne dayes (it is iniquitie) nor solemne assemblies.
你們不要再獻虛浮的供物。 香品是我所憎惡的； 月朔和安息日，並宣召的大會， 也是我所憎惡的； 作罪孽，又守嚴肅會， 我也不能容忍。
14 My soule hateth your newe moones and your appointed feastes: they are a burden vnto me: I am weary to beare them.
你們的月朔和節期，我心裏恨惡， 我都以為麻煩； 我擔當，便不耐煩。
15 And when you shall stretch out your hands, I wil hide mine eyes from you: and though ye make many prayers, I wil not heare: for your hands are full of blood.
你們舉手禱告，我必遮眼不看； 就是你們多多地祈禱，我也不聽。 你們的手都滿了殺人的血。
16 Wash you, make you cleane: take away the euill of your workes from before mine eyes: cease to doe euill.
你們要洗濯、自潔， 從我眼前除掉你們的惡行， 要止住作惡，
17 Learne to doe well: seeke iudgement, relieue the oppressed: iudge the fatherlesse and defend the widowe.
學習行善， 尋求公平， 解救受欺壓的； 給孤兒伸冤， 為寡婦辨屈。
18 Come nowe, and let vs reason together, sayth the Lord: though your sinnes were as crimsin, they shalbe made white as snowe: though they were red like skarlet, they shalbe as wooll.
耶和華說： 你們來，我們彼此辯論。 你們的罪雖像硃紅，必變成雪白； 雖紅如丹顏，必白如羊毛。
19 If ye consent and obey, ye shall eate the good things of the land.
你們若甘心聽從， 必吃地上的美物，
20 But if ye refuse and be rebellious, ye shalbe deuoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
若不聽從，反倒悖逆， 必被刀劍吞滅。 這是耶和華親口說的。
21 Howe is the faithfull citie become an harlot? it was full of iudgement, and iustice lodged therein, but now they are murtherers.
可歎，忠信的城變為妓女！ 從前充滿了公平， 公義居在其中， 現今卻有兇手居住。
22 Thy siluer is become drosse: thy wine is mixt with water.
你的銀子變為渣滓； 你的酒用水攙對。
23 Thy Princes are rebellious and companions of theeues: euery one loueth giftes, and followeth after rewards: they iudge not the fatherlesse, neither doeth the widowes cause come before them.
你的官長居心悖逆， 與盜賊作伴， 各都喜愛賄賂， 追求贓私。 他們不為孤兒伸冤； 寡婦的案件也不得呈到他們面前。
24 Therefore sayth the Lord God of hostes, the mightie one of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine aduersaries, and auenge me of mine enemies.
因此，主－萬軍之耶和華、 以色列的大能者說： 哎！我要向我的對頭雪恨， 向我的敵人報仇。
25 Then I will turne mine hand vpon thee, and burne out thy drosse, till it be pure, and take away all thy tinne.
我必反手加在你身上， 煉盡你的渣滓， 除淨你的雜質。
26 And I will restore thy iudges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward shalt thou be called a citie of righteousnes, and a faithfull citie.
我也必復還你的審判官，像起初一樣， 復還你的謀士，像起先一般。 然後，你必稱為公義之城， 忠信之邑。
27 Zion shall be redeemed in iudgement, and they that returne in her, in iustice.
錫安必因公平得蒙救贖； 其中歸正的人必因公義得蒙救贖。
28 And the destruction of the transgressers and of the sinners shalbe together: and they that forsake the Lord, shalbe consumed.
但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同敗亡； 離棄耶和華的必致消滅。
29 For they shalbe confounded for the okes, which ye haue desired, and ye shall be ashamed of the gardens, that ye haue chosen.
那等人必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧； 你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞。
30 For ye shalbe as an oke, whose leafe fadeth: and as a garden that hath no water.
因為，你們必如葉子枯乾的橡樹， 好像無水澆灌的園子。
31 And the strong shall be as towe, and the maker thereof, as a sparke: and they shall both burne together, and none shall quench them.
有權勢的必如麻瓤； 他的工作好像火星， 都要一同焚毀，無人撲滅。
