Isaiah 8
1 The LORD said to me, "Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man's pen, 'For Maher Shalal Hash Baz;'
耶和华对我说：“你取一个大牌，拿人所用的笔，写上‘玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯’。
2 and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Berechiah."
我要用诚实的见证人，祭司乌利亚和耶比利家的儿子撒迦利亚记录这事。”
3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me, "Call his name 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
我—以赛亚与妻子同室；她怀孕生子，耶和华就对我说：“给他起名叫玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯；
4 For before the child knows how to say, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria."
因为在这小孩子不晓得叫父叫母之先，大马士革的财宝和撒马利亚的掳物必在亚述王面前搬了去。”
5 The LORD spoke to me yet again, saying,
耶和华又晓谕我说：
6 "Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
“这百姓既厌弃西罗亚缓流的水，喜悦利汛和利玛利的儿子；
7 now therefore, look, the LORD brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
因此，主必使大河翻腾的水猛然冲来，就是亚述王和他所有的威势，必漫过一切的水道，涨过两岸；
8 It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.
必冲入犹大，涨溢泛滥，直到颈项。以马内利啊，他展开翅膀，遍满你的地。”
9 Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces. Listen, all you from far countries. Prepare for battle, and be shattered.
列国的人民哪，任凭你们喧嚷，终必破坏； 远方的众人哪，当侧耳而听！ 任凭你们束起腰来，终必破坏； 你们束起腰来，终必破坏。
10 Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand: for God is with us."
任凭你们同谋，终归无有； 任凭你们言定，终不成立； 因为 神与我们同在。
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
耶和华以大能的手，指教我不可行这百姓所行的道，对我这样说：
12 "Do not say, 'A conspiracy.' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy.' And do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.
“这百姓说同谋背叛，你们不要说同谋背叛。他们所怕的，你们不要怕，也不要畏惧。
13 The LORD of hosts is who you must regard as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
但要尊万军之耶和华为圣，以他为你们所当怕的，所当畏惧的。
14 And he will be a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock that makes them fall to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
他必作为圣所，却向以色列两家作绊脚的石头，跌人的磐石；向耶路撒冷的居民作为圈套和网罗。
15 Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured."
许多人必在其上绊脚跌倒，而且跌碎，并陷入网罗，被缠住。”
16 Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
你要卷起律法书，在我门徒中间封住训诲。
17 I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in him.
我要等候那掩面不顾雅各家的耶和华；我也要仰望他。
18 Look, here I am, and the children God has given me as signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
看哪，我与耶和华所给我的儿女，就是从住在锡安山万军之耶和华来的，在以色列中作为预兆和奇迹。
19 When they tell you, "Consult with the spirits of the dead and familiar spirits who chirp and who mutter. Shouldn't a people consult with their gods, by consulting the dead on behalf of the living?"
有人对你们说：“当求问那些交鬼的和行巫术的，就是声音绵蛮，言语微细的。”你们便回答说：“百姓不当求问自己的 神吗？岂可为活人求问死人呢？”
20 Turn to the law and to the testimony. If they do not speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
人当以训诲和法度为标准；他们所说的，若不与此相符，必不得见晨光。
21 They will pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
他们必经过这地，受艰难，受饥饿；饥饿的时候，心中焦躁，咒骂自己的君王和自己的 神。
22 and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
仰观上天，俯察下地，不料，尽是艰难、黑暗，和幽暗的痛苦。他们必被赶入乌黑的黑暗中去。
