< Isaiah 1 >

1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
当乌西雅、约坦、亚哈斯、希西家作犹大王的时候,亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示,论到犹大和耶路撒冷。
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
天哪,要听!地啊,侧耳而听! 因为耶和华说: 我养育儿女,将他们养大, 他们竟悖逆我。
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: [but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
牛认识主人, 驴认识主人的槽, 以色列却不认识; 我的民却不留意。
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
嗐!犯罪的国民, 担着罪孽的百姓; 行恶的种类, 败坏的儿女! 他们离弃耶和华, 藐视以色列的圣者, 与他生疏,往后退步。
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
你们为什么屡次悖逆, 还要受责打吗? 你们已经满头疼痛, 全心发昏。
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no soundness in it; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
从脚掌到头顶, 没有一处完全的, 尽是伤口、青肿,与新打的伤痕, 都没有收口,没有缠裹, 也没有用膏滋润。
7 Your country [is] desolate, your cities [are] burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and [it is] desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
你们的地土已经荒凉; 你们的城邑被火焚毁。 你们的田地在你们眼前为外邦人所侵吞, 既被外邦人倾覆就成为荒凉。
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
仅存锡安城, 好像葡萄园的草棚, 瓜田的茅屋, 被围困的城邑。
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, [and] we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
若不是万军之耶和华给我们稍留余种, 我们早已像所多玛、蛾摩拉的样子了。
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
你们这所多玛的官长啊, 要听耶和华的话! 你们这蛾摩拉的百姓啊, 要侧耳听我们 神的训诲!
11 To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
耶和华说: 你们所献的许多祭物与我何益呢? 公绵羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油, 我已经够了; 公牛的血,羊羔的血,公山羊的血, 我都不喜悦。
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
你们来朝见我, 谁向你们讨这些, 使你们践踏我的院宇呢?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
你们不要再献虚浮的供物。 香品是我所憎恶的; 月朔和安息日,并宣召的大会, 也是我所憎恶的; 作罪孽,又守严肃会, 我也不能容忍。
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear [them].
你们的月朔和节期,我心里恨恶, 我都以为麻烦; 我担当,便不耐烦。
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
你们举手祷告,我必遮眼不看; 就是你们多多地祈祷,我也不听。 你们的手都满了杀人的血。
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
你们要洗濯、自洁, 从我眼前除掉你们的恶行, 要止住作恶,
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
学习行善, 寻求公平, 解救受欺压的; 给孤儿伸冤, 为寡妇辨屈。
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
耶和华说: 你们来,我们彼此辩论。 你们的罪虽像朱红,必变成雪白; 虽红如丹颜,必白如羊毛。
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
你们若甘心听从, 必吃地上的美物,
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
若不听从,反倒悖逆, 必被刀剑吞灭。 这是耶和华亲口说的。
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
可叹,忠信的城变为妓女! 从前充满了公平, 公义居在其中, 现今却有凶手居住。
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
你的银子变为渣滓; 你的酒用水搀对。
23 Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
你的官长居心悖逆, 与盗贼作伴, 各都喜爱贿赂, 追求赃私。 他们不为孤儿伸冤; 寡妇的案件也不得呈到他们面前。
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
因此,主—万军之耶和华、 以色列的大能者说: 哎!我要向我的对头雪恨, 向我的敌人报仇。
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
我必反手加在你身上, 炼尽你的渣滓, 除净你的杂质。
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
我也必复还你的审判官,像起初一样, 复还你的谋士,像起先一般。 然后,你必称为公义之城, 忠信之邑。
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
锡安必因公平得蒙救赎; 其中归正的人必因公义得蒙救赎。
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同败亡; 离弃耶和华的必致消灭。
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
那等人必因你们所喜爱的橡树抱愧; 你们必因所选择的园子蒙羞。
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
因为,你们必如叶子枯干的橡树, 好像无水浇灌的园子。
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench [them].
有权势的必如麻瓤; 他的工作好像火星, 都要一同焚毁,无人扑灭。
