Isaiah 26
1 In that day this song is sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city, He makes salvation [for] walls and bulwark.
當那日，在猶大地人必唱這歌說： 我們有堅固的城。 耶和華要將救恩定為城牆，為外郭。
2 Open the gates, That a righteous nation may enter, Preserving steadfastness.
敞開城門， 使守信的義民得以進入。
3 You keep [him] in peace [whose] imagination [is] stayed—peace! For he is confident in You.
堅心倚賴你的， 你必保守他十分平安， 因為他倚靠你。
4 Trust in YHWH forever, For in YAH—YHWH [is] a rock of ages,
你們當倚靠耶和華直到永遠， 因為耶和華是永久的磐石。
5 For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He makes low, He makes it low to the earth, He causes it to come to the dust,
他使住高處的與高城一併敗落， 將城拆毀，拆平，直到塵埃，
6 A foot treads it down, Feet of the poor—steps of the weak.
要被腳踐踏， 就是被困苦人的腳和窮乏人的腳踐踏。
7 The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One, You ponder the path of the righteous.
義人的道是正直的； 你為正直的主，必修平義人的路。
8 Also, [in] the path of Your judgments, O YHWH, we have waited [for] You, To Your Name and to Your remembrance [Is] the desire of the soul.
耶和華啊，我們在你行審判的路上等候你； 我們心裏所羨慕的是你的名， 就是你那可記念的名。
9 I desired You in the night [with] my soul, Also, I seek You earnestly [with] my spirit within me, For when Your judgments [are] on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned righteousness.
夜間，我心中羨慕你； 我裏面的靈切切尋求你。 因為你在世上行審判的時候， 地上的居民就學習公義。
10 The wicked finds favor, He has not learned righteousness, He deals perversely in a land of straightforwardness, And does not see the excellence of YHWH.
以恩惠待惡人， 他仍不學習公義； 在正直的地上，他必行事不義， 也不注意耶和華的威嚴。
11 O YHWH, Your hand [is] high—they do not see, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire consumes Your adversaries.
耶和華啊，你的手高舉， 他們仍然不看； 卻要看你為百姓發的熱心，因而抱愧， 並且有火燒滅你的敵人。
12 O YHWH, You appoint peace to us, For You have also worked all our works for us.
耶和華啊，你必派定我們得平安， 因為我們所做的事都是你給我們成就的。
13 O our God YHWH, lords have ruled us besides You, Only, by You we make mention of Your Name.
耶和華－我們的上帝啊， 在你以外曾有別的主管轄我們， 但我們專要倚靠你，提你的名。
14 Dead—they do not live, Rephaim, they do not rise, Therefore You have inspected and destroy them, Indeed, you destroy all their memory.
他們死了，必不能再活； 他們去世，必不能再起； 因為你刑罰他們，毀滅他們， 他們的名號就全然消滅。
15 You have added to the nation, O YHWH, You have added to the nation, You have been honored, You have put all the ends of the earth far off.
耶和華啊，你增添國民， 你增添國民； 你得了榮耀， 又擴張地的四境。
16 O YHWH, in distress they missed You, They have poured out a whisper, Your discipline [is] on them.
耶和華啊，他們在急難中尋求你； 你的懲罰臨到他們身上， 他們就傾心吐膽禱告你。
17 When a pregnant woman comes near to the birth, She is pained—she cries in her pangs, So we have been from Your face, O YHWH.
婦人懷孕，臨產疼痛， 在痛苦之中喊叫； 耶和華啊，我們在你面前也是如此。
18 We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth, as it were, wind, We do not work salvation in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.
我們也曾懷孕疼痛， 所產的竟像風一樣。 我們在地上未曾行甚麼拯救的事； 世上的居民也未曾敗落。
19 Your dead live—My dead body, they rise. Awake and sing, you dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] your dew, And you cause the land of Rephaim to fall.
死人要復活， 屍首要興起。 睡在塵埃的啊，要醒起歌唱！ 因你的甘露好像菜蔬上的甘露， 地也要交出死人來。
20 Come, My people, enter into your inner chambers, And shut your doors behind you, Hide yourself shortly [for] a moment until the indignation passes over.
我的百姓啊，你們要來進入內室， 關上門，隱藏片時， 等到忿怒過去。
21 For behold, YHWH is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth on him, And the earth has revealed her blood, Nor does she cover her slain anymore!”
因為耶和華從他的居所出來， 要刑罰地上居民的罪孽。 地也必露出其中的血， 不再掩蓋被殺的人。
