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.
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 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 ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: [but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
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 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 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
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 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.
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 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 is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
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 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 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
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 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 appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread 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 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 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear [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 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 clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
你們要洗濯、自潔， 從我眼前除掉你們的惡行， 要止住作惡，
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
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 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 be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
你們若甘心聽從， 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].
若不聽從，反倒悖逆， 必被刀劍吞滅。 這是耶和華親口說的。
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
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 silver is become dross, thy wine mixed 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 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 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－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 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， 煉盡你的渣滓， 除淨你的雜質。
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 with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
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 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敗亡； 離棄耶和華的必致消滅。
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.
那等人必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧； 你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞。
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf 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 tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn 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。
