Isaiah 10
1 “Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
禍哉！那些設立不義之律例的 和記錄奸詐之判語的，
2 Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil the fatherless.
為要屈枉窮乏人， 奪去我民中困苦人的理， 以寡婦當作擄物， 以孤兒當作掠物。
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?
到降罰的日子，有災禍從遠方臨到， 那時，你們怎樣行呢？ 你們向誰逃奔求救呢？ 你們的榮耀存留何處呢？
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.
他們只得屈身在被擄的人以下， 仆倒在被殺的人以下。 雖然如此，耶和華的怒氣還未轉消； 他的手仍伸不縮。
5 “Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
亞述是我怒氣的棍， 手中拿我惱恨的杖。
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.
我要打發他攻擊褻瀆的國民， 吩咐他攻擊我所惱怒的百姓， 搶財為擄物，奪貨為掠物， 將他們踐踏，像街上的泥土一樣。
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.
然而，他不是這樣的意思； 他心也不這樣打算。 他心裏倒想毀滅， 剪除不少的國。
8 For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
他說：我的臣僕豈不都是王嗎？
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
迦勒挪豈不像迦基米施嗎？ 哈馬豈不像亞珥拔嗎？ 撒馬利亞豈不像大馬士革嗎？
10 As my hand has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
我手已經搆到有偶像的國； 這些國雕刻的偶像 過於耶路撒冷和撒馬利亞的偶像。
11 Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
我怎樣待撒馬利亞和其中的偶像， 豈不照樣待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像嗎？
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.
主在錫安山和耶路撒冷成就他一切工作的時候，主說：「我必罰亞述王自大的心和他高傲眼目的榮耀。」
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,
因為他說： 我所成就的事是靠我手的能力 和我的智慧， 我本有聰明。 我挪移列國的地界， 搶奪他們所積蓄的財寶； 並且我像勇士，使坐寶座的降為卑。
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.”
我的手搆到列國的財寶， 好像人搆到鳥窩； 我也得了全地， 好像人拾起所棄的雀蛋。 沒有動翅膀的； 沒有張嘴的，也沒有鳴叫的。
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!
斧豈可向用斧砍木的自誇呢？ 鋸豈可向用鋸的自大呢？ 好比棍掄起那舉棍的， 好比杖舉起那非木的人。
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，主－萬軍之耶和華 必使亞述王的肥壯人變為瘦弱， 在他的榮華之下必有火着起， 如同焚燒一樣。
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.
以色列的光必如火； 他的聖者必如火焰。 在一日之間，將亞述王的荊棘 和蒺藜焚燒淨盡；
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.
又將他樹林和肥田的榮耀全然燒盡， 好像拿軍旗的昏過去一樣。
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth writes them.
他林中剩下的樹必稀少， 就是孩子也能寫其數。
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.
到那日，以色列所剩下的和雅各家所逃脫的，不再倚靠那擊打他們的，卻要誠實倚靠耶和華－以色列的聖者。
21 A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.
所剩下的，就是雅各家所剩下的，必歸回全能的上帝。
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，你的百姓雖多如海沙，惟有剩下的歸回。原來滅絕的事已定，必有公義施行，如水漲溢。
23 For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
因為主－萬軍之耶和華在全地之中必成就所定規的結局。
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.
所以，主－萬軍之耶和華如此說：「住錫安我的百姓啊，亞述王雖然用棍擊打你，又照埃及的樣子舉杖攻擊你，你卻不要怕他。
25 For yet a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
因為還有一點點時候，向你們發的忿恨就要完畢，我的怒氣要向他發作，使他滅亡。
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.
萬軍之耶和華要興起鞭來攻擊他，好像在俄立磐石那裏殺戮米甸人一樣。耶和華的杖要向海伸出，把杖舉起，像在埃及一樣。
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，亞述王的重擔必離開你的肩頭；他的軛必離開你的頸項；那軛也必因肥壯的緣故撐斷。」
28 He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
亞述王來到亞葉， 經過米磯崙， 在密抹安放輜重。
29 They have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
他們過了隘口， 在迦巴住宿。 拉瑪人戰兢； 掃羅的基比亞人逃跑。
30 Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
迦琳的居民哪，要高聲呼喊！ 萊煞人哪，須聽！ 哀哉！困苦的亞拿突啊。
31 Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
瑪得米那人躲避； 基柄的居民逃遁。
32 Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, The hill of Jerusalem.
當那日，亞述王要在挪伯歇兵， 向錫安女子的山－ 就是耶路撒冷的山－掄手攻他。
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,
看哪，主－萬軍之耶和華 以驚嚇削去樹枝； 長高的必被砍下， 高大的必被伐倒。
34 And He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
稠密的樹林，他要用鐵器砍下； 黎巴嫩的樹木必被大能者伐倒。
