Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
义人死亡， 无人放在心上； 虔诚人被收去， 无人思念。 这义人被收去是免了将来的祸患；
2 He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
他们得享平安。 素行正直的，各人在坟里安歇。
3 "But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.
你们这些巫婆的儿子， 奸夫和妓女的种子， 都要前来！
4 Against whom are you mocking? Against whom do you make a wide mouth, and stick out your tongue? Aren't you children of rebellion, offspring of liars,
你们向谁戏笑？ 向谁张口吐舌呢？ 你们岂不是悖逆的儿女， 虚谎的种类呢？
5 you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
你们在橡树中间，在各青翠树下欲火攻心； 在山谷间，在石穴下杀了儿女；
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; you have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
在谷中光滑石头里有你的分。 这些就是你所得的分； 你也向他浇了奠祭，献了供物， 因这事我岂能容忍吗？
7 On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.
你在高而又高的山上安设床榻， 也上那里去献祭。
8 Behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorial: for you have uncovered to someone besides me, and have gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them: you loved their bed where you saw it.
你在门后，在门框后， 立起你的纪念； 向外人赤露，又上去扩张床榻， 与他们立约； 你在那里看见他们的床就甚喜爱。
9 You went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
你把油带到王那里， 又多加香料， 打发使者往远方去， 自卑自贱直到阴间， (Sheol h7585)
10 You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you did not say, 'It is in vain.' You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren't faint.
你因路远疲倦， 却不说这是枉然； 你以为有复兴之力， 所以不觉疲惫。
11 "Of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven't I held my peace even of long time, and you do not fear me?
你怕谁？因谁恐惧？ 竟说谎，不记念我， 又不将这事放在心上。 我不是许久闭口不言， 你仍不怕我吗？
12 I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they shall not profit you.
我要指明你的公义； 至于你所行的都必与你无益。
13 When you cry, let those who you have gathered deliver you; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain."
你哀求的时候， 让你所聚集的拯救你吧！ 风要把他们刮散， 一口气要把他们都吹去。 但那投靠我的必得地土， 必承受我的圣山为业。
14 He will say, "Build up, build up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people."
耶和华要说： 你们修筑修筑，预备道路， 将绊脚石从我百姓的路中除掉。
15 For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
因为那至高至上、永远长存 名为圣者的如此说： 我住在至高至圣的所在， 也与心灵痛悔谦卑的人同居； 要使谦卑人的灵苏醒， 也使痛悔人的心苏醒。
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls who I have made.
我必不永远相争，也不长久发怒， 恐怕我所造的人与灵性都必发昏。
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and struck him; I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
因他贪婪的罪孽，我就发怒击打他； 我向他掩面发怒， 他却仍然随心背道。
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
我看见他所行的道，也要医治他； 又要引导他， 使他和那一同伤心的人再得安慰。
19 I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near," says the LORD; "and I will heal him."
我造就嘴唇的果子； 愿平安康泰归与远处的人， 也归与近处的人； 并且我要医治他。 这是耶和华说的。
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can't rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
惟独恶人，好像翻腾的海， 不得平静； 其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥来。
21 "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."
我的 神说：恶人必不得平安！
