Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of Me; and that form projects, but not of My spirit, that they may add sin to sin;
耶和華說： 禍哉！這悖逆的兒女。 他們同謀，卻不由於我， 結盟，卻不由於我的靈， 以致罪上加罪；
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at My mouth; to take refuge in the stronghold of Pharaoh, and to take shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
起身下埃及去，並沒有求問我； 要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量， 並投在埃及的蔭下。
3 Therefore shall the stronghold of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your confusion.
所以，法老的力量必作你們的羞辱； 投在埃及的蔭下，要為你們的慚愧。
4 For his princes are at Zoan, and his ambassadors are come to Hanes.
他們的首領已在瑣安； 他們的使臣到了哈內斯。
5 They shall all be ashamed of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
他們必因那不利於他們的民蒙羞。 那民並非幫助，也非利益， 只作羞恥凌辱。
6 The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
論南方牲畜的默示： 他們把財物馱在驢駒的脊背上， 將寶物馱在駱駝的肉鞍上， 經過艱難困苦之地， 就是公獅、母獅、蝮蛇、火焰的飛龍之地， 往那不利於他們的民那裏去。
7 For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called her arrogancy that sitteth still.
埃及的幫助是徒然無益的； 所以我稱她為「坐而不動的拉哈伯」。
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.
現今你去， 在他們面前將這話刻在版上， 寫在書上， 以便傳留後世，直到永永遠遠。
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that refuse to hear the teaching of the LORD;
因為他們是悖逆的百姓、說謊的兒女， 不肯聽從耶和華訓誨的兒女。
10 That say to the seers: 'See not,' and to the prophets: 'Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy delusions;
他們對先見說：不要望見不吉利的事， 對先知說：不要向我們講正直的話； 要向我們說柔和的話， 言虛幻的事。
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.'
你們要離棄正道，偏離直路， 不要在我們面前再提說以色列的聖者。
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon;
所以，以色列的聖者如此說： 因為你們藐視這訓誨的話， 倚賴欺壓和乖僻，以此為可靠的，
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
故此，這罪孽在你們身上， 好像將要破裂凸出來的高牆， 頃刻之間忽然坍塌；
14 And He shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the cistern.
要被打碎，好像把窯匠的瓦器打碎， 毫不顧惜， 甚至碎塊中找不到一片可用以從爐內取火， 從池中舀水。
15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: in sitting still and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.
主耶和華－以色列的聖者曾如此說： 你們得救在乎歸回安息； 你們得力在乎平靜安穩； 你們竟自不肯。
16 But ye said: 'No, for we will flee upon horses'; therefore shall ye flee; and: 'We will ride upon the swift'; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
你們卻說：不然，我們要騎馬奔走。 所以你們必然奔走； 又說：我們要騎飛快的牲口。 所以追趕你們的，也必飛快。
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one, at the rebuke of five shall ye flee; till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
一人叱喝，必令千人逃跑； 五人叱喝，你們都必逃跑； 以致剩下的，好像山頂的旗杆， 岡上的大旗。
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have compassion upon you; for the LORD is a God of justice, happy are all they that wait for Him.
耶和華必然等候，要施恩給你們； 必然興起，好憐憫你們。 因為耶和華是公平的上帝； 凡等候他的都是有福的！
19 For, O people that dwellest in Zion at Jerusalem, thou shalt weep no more; He will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry, when He shall hear, He will answer thee.
百姓必在錫安、在耶路撒冷居住；你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的聲音施恩給你；他聽見的時候就必應允你。
20 And though the Lord give you sparing bread and scant water, yet shall not thy Teacher hide Himself any more, but thine eyes shall see thy Teacher;
主雖然以艱難給你當餅，以困苦給你當水，你的教師卻不再隱藏；你眼必看見你的教師。
21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying: 'This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.'
你或向左或向右，你必聽見後邊有聲音說：「這是正路，要行在其間。」
22 And ye shall defile thy graven images overlaid with silver, and thy molten images covered with gold; thou shalt put them far away as one unclean; thou shalt say unto it: 'Get thee hence.'
你雕刻偶像所包的銀子和鑄造偶像所鍍的金子，你要玷污，要拋棄，好像污穢之物，對偶像說：「去吧！」
23 And He will give the rain for thy seed, wherewith thou sowest the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous; in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
你將種子撒在地裏，主必降雨在其上，並使地所出的糧肥美豐盛。到那時，你的牲畜必在寬闊的草場吃草。
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savoury provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
耕地的牛和驢駒必吃加鹽的料；這料是用木杴和杈子揚淨的。
25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill streams and watercourses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
在大行殺戮的日子，高臺倒塌的時候，各高山岡陵必有川流河湧。
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the bruise of His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
當耶和華纏裹他百姓的損處，醫治他民鞭傷的日子，月光必像日光，日光必加七倍，像七日的光一樣。
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, with His anger burning, and in thick uplifting of smoke; His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue is as a devouring fire;
看哪，耶和華的名從遠方來， 怒氣燒起，密煙上騰。 他的嘴唇滿有忿恨； 他的舌頭像吞滅的火。
28 And His breath is as an overflowing stream, that divideth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
他的氣如漲溢的河水，直漲到頸項， 要用毀滅的篩籮篩淨列國， 並且在眾民的口中必有使人錯行的嚼環。
29 Ye shall have a song as in the night when a feast is hallowed; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with the pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
你們必唱歌，像守聖節的夜間一樣，並且心中喜樂，像人吹笛，上耶和華的山，到以色列的磐石那裏。
30 And the LORD will cause His glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of His arm, with furious anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a bursting of clouds, and a storm of rain, and hailstones.
耶和華必使人聽他威嚴的聲音，又顯他降罰的膀臂和他怒中的忿恨，並吞滅的火焰與霹雷、暴風、冰雹。
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall Asshur be dismayed, the rod with which He smote.
亞述人必因耶和華的聲音驚惶；耶和華必用杖擊打他。
32 And in every place where the appointed staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps; and in battles of wielding will He fight with them.
耶和華必將命定的杖加在他身上；每打一下，人必擊鼓彈琴。打仗的時候，耶和華必掄起手來，與他交戰。
33 For a hearth is ordered of old; yea, for the king it is prepared, deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
原來陀斐特又深又寬，早已為王預備好了；其中堆的是火與許多木柴。耶和華的氣如一股硫磺火使他着起來。
