Isaiah 26
1 IN that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
當那日，在猶大地人必唱這歌說： 我們有堅固的城。 耶和華要將救恩定為城牆，為外郭。
2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
敞開城門， 使守信的義民得以進入。
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
堅心倚賴你的， 你必保守他十分平安， 因為他倚靠你。
4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
你們當倚靠耶和華直到永遠， 因為耶和華是永久的磐石。
5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
他使住高處的與高城一併敗落， 將城拆毀，拆平，直到塵埃，
6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
要被腳踐踏， 就是被困苦人的腳和窮乏人的腳踐踏。
7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
義人的道是正直的； 你為正直的主，必修平義人的路。
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
耶和華啊，我們在你行審判的路上等候你； 我們心裏所羨慕的是你的名， 就是你那可記念的名。
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
夜間，我心中羨慕你； 我裏面的靈切切尋求你。 因為你在世上行審判的時候， 地上的居民就學習公義。
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
以恩惠待惡人， 他仍不學習公義； 在正直的地上，他必行事不義， 也不注意耶和華的威嚴。
11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
耶和華啊，你的手高舉， 他們仍然不看； 卻要看你為百姓發的熱心，因而抱愧， 並且有火燒滅你的敵人。
12 Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
耶和華啊，你必派定我們得平安， 因為我們所做的事都是你給我們成就的。
13 O Lord our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
耶和華－我們的上帝啊， 在你以外曾有別的主管轄我們， 但我們專要倚靠你，提你的名。
14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
他們死了，必不能再活； 他們去世，必不能再起； 因為你刑罰他們，毀滅他們， 他們的名號就全然消滅。
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
耶和華啊，你增添國民， 你增添國民； 你得了榮耀， 又擴張地的四境。
16 Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
耶和華啊，他們在急難中尋求你； 你的懲罰臨到他們身上， 他們就傾心吐膽禱告你。
17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.
婦人懷孕，臨產疼痛， 在痛苦之中喊叫； 耶和華啊，我們在你面前也是如此。
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
我們也曾懷孕疼痛， 所產的竟像風一樣。 我們在地上未曾行甚麼拯救的事； 世上的居民也未曾敗落。
19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
死人要復活， 屍首要興起。 睡在塵埃的啊，要醒起歌唱！ 因你的甘露好像菜蔬上的甘露， 地也要交出死人來。
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
我的百姓啊，你們要來進入內室， 關上門，隱藏片時， 等到忿怒過去。
21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
因為耶和華從他的居所出來， 要刑罰地上居民的罪孽。 地也必露出其中的血， 不再掩蓋被殺的人。
