< Isaiah 65 >
1 “I have been inquired of by those who did not ask, I have been found by those who did not seek Me, I have said, Behold Me, behold Me, To a nation not calling on My Name.
素來沒有訪問我的,現在求問我; 沒有尋找我的,我叫他們遇見; 沒有稱為我名下的,我對他們說: 我在這裏!我在這裏!
2 I have spread out My hands all the day To an apostate people, Who are going in the way [that is] not good, After their own thoughts.
我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓; 他們隨自己的意念行不善之道。
3 The people who are continually provoking Me to anger, To My face, Sacrificing in gardens, and making incense on the bricks:
這百姓時常當面惹我發怒; 在園中獻祭, 在壇上燒香;
4 Who are dwelling among tombs, And lodge in reserved places, Who are eating flesh of the sow, And a piece of abominations—their vessels.
在墳墓間坐着, 在隱密處住宿, 吃豬肉; 他們器皿中有可憎之物做的湯;
5 Who are saying, Keep to yourself, do not come near to me, For I have declared you unholy. These [are] smoke in My anger, A fire burning all the day.
且對人說:你站開吧! 不要挨近我,因為我比你聖潔。 主說:這些人是我鼻中的煙, 是整天燒着的火。
6 Behold, it is written before Me: I am not silent, but have repaid; And I have repaid into their bosom,
看哪,這都寫在我面前。 我必不靜默,必施行報應, 必將你們的罪孽和你們列祖的罪孽, 就是在山上燒香, 在岡上褻瀆我的罪孽, 一同報應在他們後人懷中, 我先要把他們所行的量給他們; 這是耶和華說的。
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,” said YHWH, “Who have made incense on the mountains, And have reproached Me on the heights, And I have measured their former work into their bosom.”
8 Thus said YHWH: “As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one has said, Do not destroy it for a blessing [is] in it, So I do for My servants’ sake, Not to destroy the whole.
耶和華如此說:葡萄中尋得新酒, 人就說:不要毀壞, 因為福在其中。 我因我僕人的緣故也必照樣而行, 不將他們全然毀滅。
9 And I have brought out a Seed from Jacob, And from Judah a Possessor of My mountain, And My chosen ones possess it, And My servants dwell there.
我必從雅各中領出後裔, 從猶大中領出承受我眾山的。 我的選民必承受; 我的僕人要在那裏居住。
10 And Sharon has been for the habitation of a flock, And the Valley of Achor for the lying down of a herd, For My people who have sought Me.
沙崙平原必成為羊群的圈; 亞割谷必成為牛群躺臥之處, 都為尋求我的民所得。
11 And you [are] those forsaking YHWH, Who are forgetting My holy mountain, Who are setting a table in array for Gad, And who are filling a mixture for Meni.
但你們這些離棄耶和華、 忘記我的聖山、給時運擺筵席、 給天命盛滿調和酒的,
12 And I have numbered you for the sword, And all of you bow down for slaughter, Because I called, and you have not answered, I have spoken, and you have not listened, And you do evil in My eyes, And on that which I did not desire—fixed.”
我要命定你們歸在刀下, 都必屈身被殺; 因為我呼喚,你們沒有答應; 我說話,你們沒有聽從; 反倒行我眼中看為惡的, 揀選我所不喜悅的。
13 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My servants eat, and you hunger, Behold, My servants drink, and you thirst, Behold, My servants rejoice, and you are ashamed,
所以,主耶和華如此說: 我的僕人必得吃,你們卻飢餓; 我的僕人必得喝,你們卻乾渴; 我的僕人必歡喜,你們卻蒙羞。
14 Behold, My servants sing from joy of heart, And you cry from pain of heart, And you howl from breaking of spirit.
我的僕人因心中高興歡呼, 你們卻因心中憂愁哀哭, 又因心裏憂傷哀號。
15 And you have left your name For an oath for My chosen ones, And Lord YHWH has put you to death, And He gives another name to His servants;
你們必留下自己的名, 為我選民指着賭咒。 主耶和華必殺你們, 另起別名稱呼他的僕人。
16 So that he who is blessing himself in the earth, Blesses himself in the God of faithfulness, And he who is swearing in the earth, Swears by the God of faithfulness, Because the former distresses have been forgotten, And because they have been hid from My eyes.
這樣,在地上為自己求福的, 必憑真實的上帝求福; 在地上起誓的, 必指真實的上帝起誓。 因為,從前的患難已經忘記, 也從我眼前隱藏了。
17 For behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.
看哪!我造新天新地; 從前的事不再被記念,也不再追想。
18 But rejoice, and rejoice forever, that I [am] Creator, For behold, I am creating Jerusalem [to be] a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
你們當因我所造的永遠歡喜快樂; 因我造耶路撒冷為人所喜, 造其中的居民為人所樂。
19 And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have rejoiced in My people, And the voice of weeping is not heard in her anymore, and the voice of crying.
我必因耶路撒冷歡喜, 因我的百姓快樂; 其中必不再聽見哭泣的聲音和哀號的聲音。
20 There is not a suckling of [mere] days there anymore, And an aged man who does not complete his days, For the youth dies one hundred years old, And the sinner, one hundred years old, is lightly esteemed.
其中必沒有數日夭亡的嬰孩, 也沒有壽數不滿的老者; 因為百歲死的仍算孩童, 有百歲死的罪人算被咒詛。
21 And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted vineyards, and eaten their fruit.
他們要建造房屋,自己居住; 栽種葡萄園,吃其中的果子。
22 They do not build, and another inhabit, They do not plant, and another eat, For as the days of a tree [are] the days of My people, And My chosen wear out the work of their hands.
他們建造的,別人不得住; 他們栽種的,別人不得吃; 因為我民的日子必像樹木的日子; 我選民親手勞碌得來的必長久享用。
23 They do not labor for a vain thing, Nor do they bring forth for trouble, For they [are] the seed of the blessed of YHWH, And their offspring with them.
他們必不徒然勞碌, 所生產的,也不遭災害, 因為都是蒙耶和華賜福的後裔; 他們的子孫也是如此。
24 And it has come to pass, They do not yet call, and I answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear.
他們尚未求告,我就應允; 正說話的時候,我就垂聽。
25 Wolf and lamb feed as one, And a lion eats straw as an ox, As for the serpent—its food [is] dust, They do no evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain,” said YHWH!
豺狼必與羊羔同食; 獅子必吃草與牛一樣; 塵土必作蛇的食物。 在我聖山的遍處, 這一切都不傷人,不害物。 這是耶和華說的。
