Isaiah 10
1 “Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
禍哉，那些制定不義的法例，記錄不義的斷案，
2 Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil 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 do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do you 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 It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still 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 [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
禍哉，亞述！我義怒的木棒，我震怒的棍杖！
6 I send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
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 And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—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 says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
因為她說：「我的首領不都是君王嗎﹖
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as 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 has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than 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 Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
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 And it has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
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 has said, “I have worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,
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 gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”
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 Does the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not 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 the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As 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 has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in 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 his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
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 [are] few, And a youth writes them.
她的叢林所剩餘的樹木不多，一個兒童就能計算。
20 And it has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, 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 A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To 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 your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [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 a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making 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 said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in the way 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 a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
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 YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in the way 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 has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.
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 has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
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 have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
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 Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, 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 has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
瑪德默納走散了，革平的居民逃避了。
32 Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, 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, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become 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 has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
他將用鐵斧砍伐叢林，黎巴嫩和她的壯麗必被伐倒。
