Isaiah 10
1 Woe unto those that decree decrees of unrighteousness, and the writers who write down wrongful things;
禍哉，那些制定不義的法例，記錄不義的斷案，
2 To turn aside from judgment the needy, and to rob the just due of the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may plunder the fatherless!
為屈枉小民的案件，剝削我窮民的權利，攘奪寡婦和劫掠孤兒的人！
3 And what will ye do on the day of the visitation, and at the desolation which will come from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
當懲罰之日，風暴由遠而近的時候，你們將怎樣應付﹖你們將向誰求助﹖你們的財寶將棄於何地﹖
4 Without me they shall kneel down under the prisoners, and under the slain shall they fall. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.
唯有屈伏在被俘者中，倒斃在被殺者下；然而他的震怒並未因此而熄滅，他的手仍然伸著。
5 Woe over Asshur, the rod of my anger; and a staff is in their hand my indignation.
禍哉，亞述！我義怒的木棒，我震怒的棍杖！
6 Against a hypocritical nation will I send him, and against the people of my fury will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to carry off the prey, and to render them trodden down like the mire of the streets.
我派遣她是為攻擊一個邪惡的百姓，我委任他是為攻擊我所憤恨的民族，為擄掠劫奪，並為蹂躪他們，有如街上的糞土。
7 But he deemeth it not so, and his heart doth not think so; but to destroy is in his heart, and to cut off nations not a few.
但她並沒有這樣想，心裏也沒有這樣推測，只圖肆意破壞，剿滅不少的民族。
8 For he saith, “Are not my princes altogether kings?
因為她說：「我的首領不都是君王嗎﹖
9 Is not Calno like Karkemish? is not Chamath like Arpad? is not Samaria like Damascus?
加耳諾不是與與加革米士一樣嗎﹖哈瑪特不是與阿爾帕得一樣嗎﹖撒瑪黎雅不是與大馬士革一樣嗎﹖
10 As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images exceeded in number those of Jerusalem and of Samaria:
我的手既然征服了這些偶像的王國－－況且他們的偶像還多過耶路撒冷和撒瑪黎雅－－
11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, do so unto Jerusalem and unto her idols?”
難道我不能對待耶路撒冷和她的神像，有如對待了撒瑪黎雅和她的偶像嗎﹖」
12 Wherefore shall it come to pass, that when the Lord hath completed all his work on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the haughtiness of the king of Asshur, and the vain-glory of his proud looks.
當吾主對熙雍山和耶路撒冷完成了他的一切工作時，必要懲罰亞述王心高氣傲的功績，和他目空一切的驕傲。
13 For he hath said, “By the strength of my hand have I done it, and by my wisdom, for I have intelligence; and I have removed the boundaries of nations, and their laid-up treasures have I plundered, and brought down low those that were powerfully seated.
因為他曾說過：「我完成了這一切，全憑我的手和我的智慧，因為我是聰明的；我撤除了各民族的界限，擄掠了他們的財寶，有如強者打倒了居於高位的人。
14 And my hand hath reached, as a bird's nest, the wealth of the people: and as one gathereth up eggs that are forsaken, have I myself gathered up all the earth: and there was not one that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped.”
我的手奪取了列國的財富，有如取諸窩巢；我兼併了大地，有如拾取遺卵，沒有誰敢鼓翼和張口鼓噪。」
15 Shall the axe boast itself over him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that swingeth it? as if the rod should swing about those that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up him who is no wood.
斧頭豈能對用斧頭砍伐的人自豪﹖鋸豈能向拉鋸的人自誇﹖難道棍杖能揮動那舉它的人﹖木棒能舉起那不是木頭的人﹖
16 Therefore will the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, send forth among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory shall be kindled a burning like the burning of a fire.
因此吾主，萬軍的天主，將瘦弱放在她的肥碩之中，在她的光輝之下燃起火燄，有如烈火焚燒。
17 And the light of Israel shall become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers on one day.
以色列的光將變為火，他的聖者將變為烈燄，一日間即將她的荊棘蒺藜焚燬。
18 And the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body, will he destroy: and he shall be as [a tree] eaten to powder by the worms.
她的叢林和她田園的華麗，必將由內到外毀滅，有如為蟲蝕盡一樣。
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few in number, so that a boy may write them down.
她的叢林所剩餘的樹木不多，一個兒童就能計算。
20 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall not farther lean for support upon him that smiteth them; but they shall lean upon the Lord, the Holy one of Israel, in truth.
到那一日，以色列的遺民和雅各伯家的逃亡者，不再依恃打擊他們的人，卻誠心依賴上主，以色列的聖者。
21 The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
遺民必將歸回，雅各伯的遺民必將歸依強有力的天主！
22 For though thy people Israel should be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant [only] of them shall return: destruction is decreed, it overfloweth with righteousness.
以色列啊！ 你的百姓雖然多如海沙，其中唯有殘存者得以歸回：毀滅已經決定，但是充溢著公義，
23 For it is completed and decreed: the Lord, the Eternal of hosts will do it in the midst of all the land.
因為吾主，萬軍的上主必在大地上執行所決定的毀滅。
24 Therefore thus hath said the Lord the Eternal of hosts, Be not afraid, O my people that dwellest in Zion, of Asshur, who will smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
因此吾主，萬軍的上主這樣說：我的百姓，熙雍的居民！亞述雖然用木棒痛擊你，像埃及一樣，舉起棍杖敲打你，但你不必害怕，
25 For yet but a very little while more, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger shall be for their destruction.
因為瞬息間我的怒氣即將終止，我的憤怒將轉為他們的毀滅。
26 And the Lord shall lift up a scourge over him like [at] the smiting of Midian at the rock of 'Oreb: and as his staff was lifted over the sea, so will he carry him off after the manner of Egypt.
萬軍的上主將揮動刑鞭鞭打他們，有如昔日在曷勒布磐石處打擊米德楊一樣；高舉向海上伸出的棍杖，有如在埃及一樣。
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be removed from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be broken because of the fatness.
到那日，她的重負將由你肩上卸下，她的重軛將由你頸上解除。
28 He cometh to 'Ayath, he passeth on to Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;
破壞者由黎孟而來，來到阿雅特，經過米革龍，將輜重貯在米革瑪斯；
29 They go through the pass; they take up their lodging at Geba'; Ramah trembleth; Gib'ah of Saul fleeth.
又穿過要隘，夜宿革巴。辣瑪驚慌了，撒烏耳的基貝亞逃走了。
30 Let thy voice resound, O daughter of Gallim; listen Layshah; O poor 'Anathoth!
巴特加林！你們應大聲疾呼；拉依士！你們應該傾聽；阿納托特！你們應該回答。
31 Madmenah is in motion; the inhabitants of Gebim are assembled to flee.
瑪德默納走散了，革平的居民逃避了。
32 As yet today will he remain at Nob: then will he swing his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
在諾布暫停一天，遂即揮手指向熙雍女兒山，耶路撒冷的山崗。
33 Behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, will lop off the fruitful bough with terrific might: and those of towering growth shall be hewn down, and the high shall be laid low.
看啊！吾主，萬軍的上主將用斧鉞砍伐枝幹：高出的要削去，聳出的要砍低。
34 And he will cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and the Lebanon shall fall by [means of] a mighty one.
他將用鐵斧砍伐叢林，黎巴嫩和她的壯麗必被伐倒。
