< Isaiah 2 >

1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示,論到猶大和耶路撒冷。
2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
末後的日子,耶和華殿的山必堅立, 超乎諸山,高舉過於萬嶺; 萬民都要流歸這山。
3 And many peoples shall come and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
必有許多國的民前往,說: 來吧,我們登耶和華的山, 奔雅各上帝的殿。 主必將他的道教訓我們; 我們也要行他的路。 因為訓誨必出於錫安; 耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。
4 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
他必在列國中施行審判, 為許多國民斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犂頭, 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國; 他們也不再學習戰事。
5 House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
雅各家啊,來吧! 我們在耶和華的光明中行走。
6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
耶和華,你離棄了你百姓雅各家, 是因他們充滿了東方的風俗, 作觀兆的,像非利士人一樣, 並與外邦人擊掌。
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
他們的國滿了金銀, 財寶也無窮; 他們的地滿了馬匹, 車輛也無數。
8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
他們的地滿了偶像; 他們跪拜自己手所造的, 就是自己指頭所做的。
9 So people bow down, people are low, therefore do not lift them up.
卑賤人屈膝; 尊貴人下跪; 所以不可饒恕他們。
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
你當進入巖穴,藏在土中, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
11 The proud looks of humankind will be brought low, and the arrogance of people will be brought down; and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
到那日,眼目高傲的必降為卑; 性情狂傲的都必屈膝; 惟獨耶和華被尊崇。
12 For there will be a day of the LORD of hosts for all that is proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up and high; and it shall be brought low:
必有萬軍耶和華降罰的一個日子, 要臨到驕傲狂妄的; 一切自高的都必降為卑;
13 For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
又臨到黎巴嫩高大的香柏樹和巴珊的橡樹;
14 For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
又臨到一切高山的峻嶺;
15 For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
又臨到高臺和堅固城牆;
16 For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
又臨到他施的船隻並一切可愛的美物。
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
驕傲的必屈膝; 狂妄的必降卑。 在那日,惟獨耶和華被尊崇;
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
偶像必全然廢棄。
19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
耶和華興起,使地大震動的時候, 人就進入石洞,進入土穴, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
20 In that day, people will cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold to the rodents and to the bats, which have been made for themselves to worship;
到那日,人必將為拜而造的金偶像、銀偶像 拋給田鼠和蝙蝠。
21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
到耶和華興起,使地大震動的時候, 人好進入磐石洞中和巖石穴裏, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
你們休要倚靠世人。 他鼻孔裏不過有氣息; 他在一切事上可算甚麼呢?
