< Isaiah 2 >
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示,論到猶大和耶路撒冷。
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
末後的日子,耶和華殿的山必堅立, 超乎諸山,高舉過於萬嶺; 萬民都要流歸這山。
3 And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
必有許多國的民前往,說: 來吧,我們登耶和華的山, 奔雅各上帝的殿。 主必將他的道教訓我們; 我們也要行他的路。 因為訓誨必出於錫安; 耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
他必在列國中施行審判, 為許多國民斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犂頭, 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國; 他們也不再學習戰事。
5 O house of Jacob, come you, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
雅各家啊,來吧! 我們在耶和華的光明中行走。
6 Therefore you have forsaken your people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
耶和華,你離棄了你百姓雅各家, 是因他們充滿了東方的風俗, 作觀兆的,像非利士人一樣, 並與外邦人擊掌。
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
他們的國滿了金銀, 財寶也無窮; 他們的地滿了馬匹, 車輛也無數。
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
他們的地滿了偶像; 他們跪拜自己手所造的, 就是自己指頭所做的。
9 And the mean man bows down, and the great man humbles himself: therefore forgive them not.
卑賤人屈膝; 尊貴人下跪; 所以不可饒恕他們。
10 Enter into the rock, and hide you in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
你當進入巖穴,藏在土中, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
到那日,眼目高傲的必降為卑; 性情狂傲的都必屈膝; 惟獨耶和華被尊崇。
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be on every one that is proud and lofty, and on every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
必有萬軍耶和華降罰的一個日子, 要臨到驕傲狂妄的; 一切自高的都必降為卑;
13 And on all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and on all the oaks of Bashan,
又臨到黎巴嫩高大的香柏樹和巴珊的橡樹;
14 And on all the high mountains, and on all the hills that are lifted up,
又臨到一切高山的峻嶺;
15 And on every high tower, and on every fenced wall,
又臨到高臺和堅固城牆;
16 And on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all pleasant pictures.
又臨到他施的船隻並一切可愛的美物。
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
驕傲的必屈膝; 狂妄的必降卑。 在那日,惟獨耶和華被尊崇;
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
偶像必全然廢棄。
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he rises to shake terribly the earth.
耶和華興起,使地大震動的時候, 人就進入石洞,進入土穴, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
到那日,人必將為拜而造的金偶像、銀偶像 拋給田鼠和蝙蝠。
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he rises to shake terribly the earth.
到耶和華興起,使地大震動的時候, 人好進入磐石洞中和巖石穴裏, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
22 Cease you from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
你們休要倚靠世人。 他鼻孔裏不過有氣息; 他在一切事上可算甚麼呢?
