Isaiah 57
1 The righteous has perished, And there is none laying [it] to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil The righteous one is gathered.
義人死亡， 無人放在心上； 虔誠人被收去， 無人思念。 這義人被收去是免了將來的禍患；
2 He enters into peace, they rest on their beds, [Each] is going straightforward.
他們得享平安。 素行正直的，各人在墳裏安歇。
3 “And you, come near here, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even you commit whoredom.
你們這些巫婆的兒子， 姦夫和妓女的種子， 都要前來！
4 Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you enlarge the mouth [And] prolong the tongue? Are you not children of transgression? A false seed?
你們向誰戲笑？ 向誰張口吐舌呢？ 你們豈不是悖逆的兒女， 虛謊的種類呢？
5 Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under clefts of the rocks.
你們在橡樹中間，在各青翠樹下慾火攻心； 在山谷間，在石穴下殺了兒女；
6 Your portion [is] among the smooth things of a brook, They [are] your lot, You have also poured out an oblation to them, You have caused a present to ascend, Am I comforted in these things?
在谷中光滑石頭裏有你的分。 這些就是你所得的分； 你也向他澆了奠祭，獻了供物， 因這事我豈能容忍嗎？
7 On a mountain, high and exalted, You have set your bed, You have also gone up there to make a sacrifice.
你在高而又高的山上安設床榻， 也上那裏去獻祭。
8 And behind the door, and the post, You have set up your memorial, For you have removed from Me, and go up, You have enlarged your bed, And cut [a covenant] with them, You have loved their bed, the station you saw,
你在門後，在門框後， 立起你的紀念； 向外人赤露，又上去擴張床榻， 與他們立約； 你在那裏看見他們的床就甚喜愛。
9 And go joyfully to the king in ointment, And multiply your perfumes, And send your ambassadors far off, And humble yourself to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
你把油帶到王那裏， 又多加香料， 打發使者往遠方去， 自卑自賤直到陰間， (Sheol h7585)
10 You have labored in the greatness of your way, You have not said, It is desperate. You have found the life of your hand, Therefore you have not been sick.
你因路遠疲倦， 卻不說這是枉然； 你以為有復興之力， 所以不覺疲憊。
11 And of whom have you been afraid, and fear, That you lie, and have not remembered Me? You have not laid [it] to your heart, Am I not silent, even from of old? And you do not fear Me?
你怕誰？因誰恐懼？ 竟說謊，不記念我， 又不將這事放在心上。 我不是許久閉口不言， 你仍不怕我嗎？
12 I declare your righteousness, and your works, And they do not profit you.
我要指明你的公義； 至於你所行的都必與你無益。
13 When you cry, let your gatherings deliver you, And wind carries all of them away, Vanity takes away, And whoever is trusting in Me inherits the land, And possesses My holy mountain.”
你哀求的時候， 讓你所聚集的拯救你吧！ 風要把他們颳散， 一口氣要把他們都吹去。 但那投靠我的必得地土， 必承受我的聖山為業。
14 And He has said, “Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.”
耶和華要說： 你們修築修築，預備道路， 將絆腳石從我百姓的路中除掉。
15 For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and His Name [is] holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,
因為那至高至上、永遠長存 名為聖者的如此說： 我住在至高至聖的所在， 也與心靈痛悔謙卑的人同居； 要使謙卑人的靈甦醒， 也使痛悔人的心甦醒。
16 For I do not strive for all time, nor am I angry forever, For the spirit is feeble before Me, And the souls I have made.
我必不永遠相爭，也不長久發怒， 恐怕我所造的人與靈性都必發昏。
17 For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been angry, and I strike him, Hiding—and am angry, And he goes on turning back in the way of his heart.
因他貪婪的罪孽，我就發怒擊打他； 我向他掩面發怒， 他卻仍然隨心背道。
18 I have seen his ways, and I heal him, indeed, I lead him, And repay comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
我看見他所行的道，也要醫治他； 又要引導他， 使他和那一同傷心的人再得安慰。
19 Producing the fruit of the lips, Peace, peace, to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him,” said YHWH.
我造就嘴唇的果子； 願平安康泰歸與遠處的人， 也歸與近處的人； 並且我要醫治他。 這是耶和華說的。
20 And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For it is not able to rest, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
惟獨惡人，好像翻騰的海， 不得平靜； 其中的水常湧出污穢和淤泥來。
21 “There is no peace,” said my God, “for the wicked!”
我的上帝說：惡人必不得平安！
