Isaiah 28
1 Woe [to] the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim. And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory, That [is] on the head of the fat valley of the broken down of wine.
祸哉！以法莲的酒徒， 住在肥美谷的山上， 他们心里高傲， 以所夸的为冠冕， 犹如将残之花。
2 Behold, a mighty and strong one [is] to the Lord, As a storm of hail—a destructive shower, As an inundation of mighty waters overflowing, He cast down to the earth with the hand.
看哪，主有一大能大力者， 像一阵冰雹， 像毁灭的暴风， 像涨溢的大水， 他必用手将冠冕摔落于地。
3 The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is trodden down by feet,
以法莲高傲的酒徒， 他的冠冕必被踏在脚下。
4 And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory That [is] on the head of the fat valley, Has been as its first-fruit before summer, That its beholder sees; He swallows it while it [is] yet in his hand.
那荣美将残之花， 就是在肥美谷山上的， 必像夏令以前初熟的无花果； 看见这果的就注意， 一到手中就吞吃了。
5 In that day YHWH of Hosts is For a crown of beauty, and for a circlet of glory, To the remnant of His people.
到那日，万军之耶和华 必作他余剩之民的荣冠华冕，
6 And for a spirit of judgment To him who is sitting in the judgment, And for might [to] those turning back the battle to the gate.
也作了在位上行审判者公平之灵， 并城门口打退仇敌者的力量。
7 And even these have erred through wine, And have wandered through strong drink, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.
就是这地的人也因酒摇摇晃晃， 因浓酒东倒西歪。 祭司和先知因浓酒摇摇晃晃， 被酒所困， 因浓酒东倒西歪。 他们错解默示， 谬行审判。
8 For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth—without place!
因为各席上满了呕吐的污秽， 无一处干净。
9 By whom does He teach knowledge? And by whom does He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,
讥诮先知的说： 他要将知识指教谁呢？ 要使谁明白传言呢？ 是那刚断奶离怀的吗？
10 For rule on rule, rule on rule, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,
他竟命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 这里一点，那里一点。
11 For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Does He speak to this people.
先知说：不然，主要借异邦人的嘴唇 和外邦人的舌头对这百姓说话。
12 To whom He has said, “This [is] the rest, give rest to the weary, And this—the refreshing”: And they have not been willing to hear,
他曾对他们说： 你们要使疲乏人得安息， 这样才得安息，才得舒畅， 他们却不肯听。
13 And to whom a word of YHWH has been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
所以，耶和华向他们说的话是 命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 这里一点，那里一点， 以致他们前行仰面跌倒， 而且跌碎，并陷入网罗被缠住。
14 Therefore, hear a word of YHWH, you men of scorning, Ruling this people that [is] in Jerusalem.
所以，你们这些亵慢的人， 就是辖管住在耶路撒冷这百姓的， 要听耶和华的话。
15 Because you have said: “We have made a covenant with death, And we have made a provision with Sheol, An overflowing scourge, when it passes over, Does not meet us, Though we have made a lie our refuge, And have been hidden in falsehood.” (Sheol h7585)
你们曾说： 我们与死亡立约， 与阴间结盟； 敌军如水涨漫经过的时候， 必不临到我们； 因我们以谎言为避所， 在虚假以下藏身。 (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone—a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a settled foundation, He who is believing does not make haste.
所以，主耶和华如此说： 看哪，我在锡安放一块石头作为根基， 是试验过的石头， 是稳固根基，宝贵的房角石； 信靠的人必不着急。
17 And I have put judgment for a line, And righteousness for a plummet, And hail sweeps away the refuge of lies, And waters overflow the secret hiding place.
我必以公平为准绳， 以公义为线铊。 冰雹必冲去谎言的避所； 大水必漫过藏身之处。
18 And your covenant with death has been annulled, And your provision with Sheol does not stand, An overflowing scourge, when it passes over, Then you have been to it for a treading-place. (Sheol h7585)
你们与死亡所立的约必然废掉， 与阴间所结的盟必立不住。 敌军如水涨漫经过的时候， 你们必被他践踏； (Sheol h7585)
19 From the fullness of its passing over it takes you, For it passes over morning by morning, By day and by night, And it has been only a trembling to consider the report.
每逢经过必将你们掳去。 因为每早晨他必经过， 白昼黑夜都必如此。 明白传言的必受惊恐。
20 For the bed has been shorter Than to stretch one’s self out in, And the covering has been narrower Than to wrap one’s self up in.
原来，床榻短，使人不能舒身； 被窝窄，使人不能遮体。
21 For as YHWH rises [at] Mount Perazim, As He is troubled [at] the valley in Gibeon, To do His work—strange [is] His work, And to do His deed—strange [is] His deed.”
耶和华必兴起，像在毗拉心山； 他必发怒，像在基遍谷， 好做成他的工，就是非常的工； 成就他的事，就是奇异的事。
22 And now, do not show yourselves scorners, Lest your bands are strong, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, [Is] for all the land.
现在你们不可亵慢， 恐怕捆你们的绑索更结实了； 因为我从主—万军之耶和华那里听见， 已经决定在全地上施行灭绝的事。
23 Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:
你们当侧耳听我的声音， 留心听我的言语。
24 Does the plowman plow the whole day to sow? He opens and harrows his ground!
那耕地为要撒种的， 岂是常常耕地呢？ 岂是常常开垦耙地呢？
25 Has he not, if he has made its face level, Then scattered fitches, and sprinkles cumin, And has placed the principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rye [in] its own border?
他拉平了地面， 岂不就撒种小茴香， 播种大茴香， 按行列种小麦， 在定处种大麦， 在田边种粗麦呢？
26 And his God instructs him for judgment, He directs him.
因为他的 神教导他务农相宜， 并且指教他。
27 For fitches are not threshed with a sharp-pointed thing, And the wheel of a cart turned around on cumin, For fitches are beaten out with a staff, And cumin with a rod.
原来打小茴香，不用尖利的器具， 轧大茴香，也不用碌碡； 但用杖打小茴香， 用棍打大茴香。
28 Bread-[grain] is beaten small, For he does not severely thresh it forever, Nor has a wheel of his cart crushed [it], Nor do his hooves beat it small.
做饼的粮食是用磨磨碎， 因它不必常打； 虽用碌碡和马打散， 却不磨它。
29 Even this from YHWH of Hosts has gone out, He has made counsel wonderful, He has made wisdom great!
这也是出于万军之耶和华— 他的谋略奇妙； 他的智慧广大。
