Isaiah 59
1 Behold, the hand of YHWH Has not been shortened from saving, Nor His ear heavy from hearing.
耶和华的膀臂并非缩短，不能拯救， 耳朵并非发沉，不能听见，
2 But your iniquities have been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you—from hearing.
但你们的罪孽使你们与 神隔绝； 你们的罪恶使他掩面不听你们。
3 For your hands have been defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue mutters perverseness.
因你们的手被血沾染， 你们的指头被罪孽沾污， 你们的嘴唇说谎言， 你们的舌头出恶语。
4 There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.
无一人按公义告状， 无一人凭诚实辨白； 都倚靠虚妄，说谎言。 所怀的是毒害； 所生的是罪孽。
5 They have hatched eggs of a viper, And weave webs of a spider, Whoever is eating their eggs dies, and the crushed hatches a viper.
他们抱毒蛇蛋， 结蜘蛛网； 人吃这蛋必死。 这蛋被踏，必出蝮蛇。
6 Their webs do not become a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of iniquity, And a deed of violence [is] in their hands.
所结的网不能成为衣服； 所做的也不能遮盖自己。 他们的行为都是罪孽； 手所做的都是强暴。
7 Their feet run to evil, And they hurry to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction [are] in their highways.
他们的脚奔跑行恶； 他们急速流无辜人的血； 意念都是罪孽， 所经过的路都荒凉毁灭。
8 They have not known a way of peace, And there is no judgment in their paths, They have made their paths perverse for themselves, None treading in it has known peace.
平安的路，他们不知道； 所行的事没有公平。 他们为自己修弯曲的路； 凡行此路的都不知道平安。
9 Therefore judgment has been far from us, And righteousness does not reach us, We wait for light, and behold, darkness, For brightness—in thick darkness we go,
因此，公平离我们远， 公义追不上我们。 我们指望光亮，却是黑暗， 指望光明，却行幽暗。
10 We feel [for] the wall like the blind, Indeed, we feel as without eyes, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In desolate places as the dead.
我们摸索墙壁，好像瞎子； 我们摸索，如同无目之人。 我们晌午绊脚，如在黄昏一样； 我们在肥壮人中，像死人一般。
11 We make a noise as bears—all of us, And we coo severely as doves; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation—it has been far from us.
我们咆哮如熊， 哀鸣如鸽； 指望公平，却是没有； 指望救恩，却远离我们。
12 For our transgressions have been multiplied before You, And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions [are] with us, And our iniquities—we have known them.
我们的过犯在你面前增多， 罪恶作见证告我们； 过犯与我们同在。 至于我们的罪孽，我们都知道：
13 Transgressing, and lying against YHWH, And removing from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostasy, Conceiving and uttering from the heart Words of falsehood.
就是悖逆、不认识耶和华， 转去不跟从我们的 神， 说欺压和叛逆的话， 心怀谎言，随即说出。
14 And judgment is removed backward, And righteousness stands far off, For truth has been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,
并且公平转而退后， 公义站在远处； 诚实在街上仆倒， 正直也不得进入。
15 And the truth is lacking, And whoever is turning aside from evil, Is making himself a spoil. And YHWH sees, and it is evil in His eyes, That there is no judgment.
诚实少见； 离恶的人反成掠物。 那时，耶和华看见没有公平， 甚不喜悦。
16 And He sees that there is no man, And is astonished that there is no intercessor, And His own arm gives salvation to Him, And His righteousness—it sustained Him.
他见无人拯救， 无人代求，甚为诧异， 就用自己的膀臂施行拯救， 以公义扶持自己。
17 And He puts on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head, And He puts on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an upper-robe, [with] zeal.
他以公义为铠甲， 以拯救为头盔， 以报仇为衣服， 以热心为外袍。
18 According to deeds—so He repays. Fury to His adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the islands He repays [their] deed.
他必按人的行为施报， 恼怒他的敌人， 报复他的仇敌 向众海岛施行报应。
19 And from the west they fear the Name of YHWH, And from the rising of the sun—His glory, When an adversary comes in as a flood, The Spirit of YHWH has raised an ensign against him.
如此，人从日落之处必敬畏耶和华的名， 从日出之地也必敬畏他的荣耀； 因为仇敌好像急流的河水冲来， 是耶和华之气所驱逐的。
20 “And the Redeemer has come to Zion, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob,” A declaration of YHWH.
必有一位救赎主来到锡安— 雅各族中转离过犯的人那里。 这是耶和华说的。
21 “And I—this [is] My covenant with them,” said YHWH, “My Spirit that [is] on you, And My words that I have put in your mouth, Do not depart from your mouth, And from the mouth of your seed, And from the mouth of your seed’s seed,” said YHWH, “From now on, even for all time!”
耶和华说：“至于我与他们所立的约乃是这样：我加给你的灵，传给你的话，必不离你的口，也不离你后裔与你后裔之后裔的口，从今直到永远；这是耶和华说的。”
