< Isaiah 66 >
1 Thus said YHWH: “The heavens [are] My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where [is] this—the house that you build for Me? And where [is] this—the place—My rest?
耶和华如此说: 天是我的座位; 地是我的脚凳。 你们要为我造何等的殿宇? 哪里是我安息的地方呢?
2 And My hand has made all these, And all these things are,” A declaration of YHWH! “And to this one I look attentively, To the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.
耶和华说:这一切都是我手所造的, 所以就都有了。 但我所看顾的, 就是虚心痛悔、 因我话而战兢的人。
3 Whoever slaughters the ox strikes a man, Whoever sacrifices the lamb beheads a dog, Whoever is bringing up a present—The blood of a sow, Whoever is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Indeed, they have fixed on their own ways, And their soul has delighted in their abominations.
假冒为善的宰牛,好像杀人, 献羊羔,好像打折狗项, 献供物,好像献猪血, 烧乳香,好像称颂偶像。 这等人拣选自己的道路, 心里喜悦行可憎恶的事。
4 I also—I fix on their distress, And I bring in their fears to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spoke, and they have not listened, And they do evil in My eyes, And on that which I did not desire—fixed.”
我也必拣选迷惑他们的事, 使他们所惧怕的临到他们; 因为我呼唤,无人答应; 我说话,他们不听从; 反倒行我眼中看为恶的, 拣选我所不喜悦的。
5 Hear a word of YHWH, You who are trembling at His word: “Your brothers who are hating you, Who are driving you out for My Name’s sake, have said, YHWH is honored, and we look on your joy, But they are ashamed.”
你们因耶和华言语战兢的人当听他的话: 你们的弟兄—就是恨恶你们, 因我名赶出你们的,曾说: 愿耶和华得荣耀, 使我们得见你们的喜乐; 但蒙羞的究竟是他们!
6 A voice of noise from the city, A voice from the temple, The voice of YHWH, Giving repayment to His enemies.
有喧哗的声音出自城中! 有声音出于殿中! 是耶和华向仇敌施行报应的声音!
7 “Before she is pained she has brought forth, Before a pang comes to her, She has delivered a male.
锡安未曾劬劳就生产, 未觉疼痛就生出男孩。
8 Who has heard anything like this? Who has seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Is a nation born at once? For she has been pained, Zion has also borne her sons.
国岂能一日而生? 民岂能一时而产? 因为锡安一劬劳便生下儿女, 这样的事谁曾听见? 谁曾看见呢?
9 Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?” says YHWH, “Am I not He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,” said your God.
耶和华说:我既使她临产, 岂不使她生产呢? 你的 神说:我既使她生产, 岂能使她闭胎不生呢?
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all you loving her, Rejoice with her for joy, All you who are mourning for her,
你们爱慕耶路撒冷的 都要与她一同欢喜快乐; 你们为她悲哀的 都要与她一同乐上加乐;
11 So that you suckle, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that you wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her glory.”
使你们在她安慰的怀中吃奶得饱, 使他们得她丰盛的荣耀, 犹如挤奶,满心喜乐。
12 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And the glory of nations as an overflowing stream, And you have sucked, You are carried on the side, And you are dandled on the knees.
耶和华如此说: 我要使平安延及她,好像江河, 使列国的荣耀延及她,如同涨溢的河。 你们要从中享受; 你们必蒙抱在肋旁,摇弄在膝上。
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so do I comfort you, Indeed, you are comforted in Jerusalem.”
母亲怎样安慰儿子,我就照样安慰你们; 你们也必因耶路撒冷得安慰。
14 And you have seen, and your heart has rejoiced, And your bones flourish as tender grass, And the hand of YHWH has been known to His servants, And He has been indignant with His enemies.
你们看见,就心中快乐; 你们的骨头必得滋润像嫩草一样; 而且耶和华的手向他仆人所行的必被人知道; 他也要向仇敌发恼恨。
15 For behold, YHWH comes in fire, And His chariots as a windstorm, To refresh His anger in fury, And His rebuke in flames of fire.
看哪,耶和华必在火中降临; 他的车辇像旋风, 以烈怒施行报应, 以火焰施行责罚;
16 For by fire and by His sword, YHWH does judgment with all flesh. And many have been YHWH’s pierced ones.
因为耶和华在一切有血气的人身上, 必以火与刀施行审判; 被耶和华所杀的必多。
17 “Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves [to go] to the gardens, One after another in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the muroid, Are consumed together,” A declaration of YHWH.
“那些分别为圣、洁净自己的,进入园内跟在其中一个人的后头,吃猪肉和仓鼠并可憎之物,他们必一同灭绝;这是耶和华说的。
18 “And I—their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My glory.
“我知道他们的行为和他们的意念。时候将到,我必将万民万族聚来,看见我的荣耀,
19 And I have set a sign among them, And have sent out of them those escaping to the nations (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the islands that are far off), Who have not heard My fame, nor seen My glory, And they have declared My glory among nations.
我要显神迹在他们中间。逃脱的,我要差到列国去,就是到他施、普勒、拉弓的路德和土巴、雅完,并素来没有听见我名声、没有看见我荣耀辽远的海岛;他们必将我的荣耀传扬在列国中。
20 And they have brought all your brothers out of all the nations, A present to YHWH, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, To My holy mountain Jerusalem,” said YHWH, “As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of YHWH.
他们必将你们的弟兄从列国中送回,使他们或骑马,或坐车,坐轿,骑骡子,骑独峰驼,到我的圣山耶路撒冷,作为供物献给耶和华,好像以色列人用洁净的器皿盛供物奉到耶和华的殿中;这是耶和华说的。
21 And I also take of them for priests, For Levites,” said YHWH.
耶和华说:我也必从他们中间取人为祭司,为利未人。”
22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “So your seed and your name remain.
耶和华说:我所要造的新天新地, 怎样在我面前长存; 你们的后裔和你们的名字也必照样长存。
23 And it has been from month to month, And from Sabbath to Sabbath, All flesh come to bow themselves before Me,” said YHWH.
每逢月朔、安息日, 凡有血气的必来在我面前下拜。 这是耶和华说的。
24 “And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcasses of the men Who are transgressing against Me, For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!”
他们必出去观看那些违背我人的尸首; 因为他们的虫是不死的; 他们的火是不灭的; 凡有血气的都必憎恶他们。
