< Isaiah 65 >
1 "I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me. I was found by those who did not seek me. I said, 'Here I am. Here I am.' to a nation that did not call on my name.
素来没有访问我的,现在求问我; 没有寻找我的,我叫他们遇见; 没有称为我名下的,我对他们说: 我在这里!我在这里!
2 All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own thoughts;
我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓; 他们随自己的意念行不善之道。
3 a people who provoke me to my face continually as they sacrifice in gardens and burn incense on bricks;
这百姓时常当面惹我发怒; 在园中献祭, 在坛上烧香;
4 who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat pig's flesh, and the broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
在坟墓间坐着, 在隐密处住宿, 吃猪肉; 他们器皿中有可憎之物做的汤;
5 who say, 'Keep your distance, do not come near to me, for I am holier than you.' These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
且对人说:你站开吧! 不要挨近我,因为我比你圣洁。 主说:这些人是我鼻中的烟, 是整天烧着的火。
6 "Look, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yes, I will recompense into their bosom,
看哪,这都写在我面前。 我必不静默,必施行报应, 必将你们的罪孽和你们列祖的罪孽, 就是在山上烧香, 在冈上亵渎我的罪孽, 一同报应在他们后人怀中, 我先要把他们所行的量给他们; 这是耶和华说的。
7 your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together," says the LORD, "who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills; therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom."
8 Thus says the LORD, "As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, 'Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it:' so will I do for my servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all.
耶和华如此说:葡萄中寻得新酒, 人就说:不要毁坏, 因为福在其中。 我因我仆人的缘故也必照样而行, 不将他们全然毁灭。
9 And I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and from Judah they shall inherit my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
我必从雅各中领出后裔, 从犹大中领出承受我众山的。 我的选民必承受; 我的仆人要在那里居住。
10 Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
沙 平原必成为羊群的圈; 亚割谷必成为牛群躺卧之处, 都为寻求我的民所得。
11 "But you who forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
但你们这些离弃耶和华、 忘记我的圣山、给时运摆筵席、 给天命盛满调和酒的,
12 I will destine you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
我要命定你们归在刀下, 都必屈身被杀; 因为我呼唤,你们没有答应; 我说话,你们没有听从; 反倒行我眼中看为恶的, 拣选我所不喜悦的。
13 Therefore thus says the LORD, "Look, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; look, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; look, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be disappointed;
所以,主耶和华如此说: 我的仆人必得吃,你们却饥饿; 我的仆人必得喝,你们却干渴; 我的仆人必欢喜,你们却蒙羞。
14 look, my servants shall sing in gladness of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for anguish of spirit.
我的仆人因心中高兴欢呼, 你们却因心中忧愁哀哭, 又因心里忧伤哀号。
15 You shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and the LORD will kill you; but he will call his servants by another name:
你们必留下自己的名, 为我选民指着赌咒。 主耶和华必杀你们, 另起别名称呼他的仆人。
16 so that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
这样,在地上为自己求福的, 必凭真实的 神求福; 在地上起誓的, 必指真实的 神起誓。 因为,从前的患难已经忘记, 也从我眼前隐藏了。
17 "For, look, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
看哪!我造新天新地; 从前的事不再被记念,也不再追想。
18 But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, look, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
你们当因我所造的永远欢喜快乐; 因我造耶路撒冷为人所喜, 造其中的居民为人所乐。
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.
我必因耶路撒冷欢喜, 因我的百姓快乐; 其中必不再听见哭泣的声音和哀号的声音。
20 "There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child shall die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
其中必没有数日夭亡的婴孩, 也没有寿数不满的老者; 因为百岁死的仍算孩童, 有百岁死的罪人算被咒诅。
21 They shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
他们要建造房屋,自己居住; 栽种葡萄园,吃其中的果子。
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
他们建造的,别人不得住; 他们栽种的,别人不得吃; 因为我民的日子必像树木的日子; 我选民亲手劳碌得来的必长久享用。
23 They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the descendants of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
他们必不徒然劳碌, 所生产的,也不遭灾害, 因为都是蒙耶和华赐福的后裔; 他们的子孙也是如此。
24 It shall happen that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
他们尚未求告,我就应允; 正说话的时候,我就垂听。
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain," says the LORD.
豺狼必与羊羔同食; 狮子必吃草与牛一样; 尘土必作蛇的食物。 在我圣山的遍处, 这一切都不伤人,不害物。 这是耶和华说的。
