Isaiah 30
1 "Woe to the rebellious children," says the LORD, "who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Ruach, that they may add sin to sin,
耶和华说： 祸哉！这悖逆的儿女。 他们同谋，却不由于我， 结盟，却不由于我的灵， 以致罪上加罪；
2 who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.
起身下埃及去，并没有求问我； 要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量， 并投在埃及的荫下。
3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
所以，法老的力量必作你们的羞辱； 投在埃及的荫下，要为你们的惭愧。
4 For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
他们的首领已在琐安； 他们的使臣到了哈内斯。
5 They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can't profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach."
他们必因那不利于他们的民蒙羞。 那民并非帮助，也非利益， 只作羞耻凌辱。
6 The oracle of the animals of the Negev. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.
论南方牲畜的默示： 他们把财物驮在驴驹的脊背上， 将宝物驮在骆驼的肉鞍上， 经过艰难困苦之地， 就是公狮、母狮、蝮蛇、火焰的飞龙之地， 往那不利于他们的民那里去。
7 For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called her Rahab who sits still.
埃及的帮助是徒然无益的； 所以我称她为“坐而不动的拉哈伯”。
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
现今你去， 在他们面前将这话刻在版上， 写在书上， 以便传留后世，直到永永远远。
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of the LORD;
因为他们是悖逆的百姓、说谎的儿女， 不肯听从耶和华训诲的儿女。
10 who tell the seers, "Do not see for us," and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
他们对先见说：不要望见不吉利的事， 对先知说：不要向我们讲正直的话； 要向我们说柔和的话， 言虚幻的事。
11 Get out of the way. Turn aside from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."
你们要离弃正道，偏离直路， 不要在我们面前再提说以色列的圣者。
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it;
所以，以色列的圣者如此说： 因为你们藐视这训诲的话， 倚赖欺压和乖僻，以此为可靠的，
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
故此，这罪孽在你们身上， 好像将要破裂凸出来的高墙， 顷刻之间忽然坍塌；
14 He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won't be found among the broken piece a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."
要被打碎，好像把窑匠的瓦器打碎， 毫不顾惜， 甚至碎块中找不到一片可用以从炉内取火， 从池中舀水。
15 For thus said the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused,
主耶和华—以色列的圣者曾如此说： 你们得救在乎归回安息； 你们得力在乎平静安稳； 你们竟自不肯。
16 but you said, "No, for we will flee on horses;" therefore you will flee; and, "We will ride on the swift;" therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
你们却说：不然，我们要骑马奔走。 所以你们必然奔走； 又说：我们要骑飞快的牲口。 所以追赶你们的，也必飞快。
17 One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
一人叱喝，必令千人逃跑； 五人叱喝，你们都必逃跑； 以致剩下的，好像山顶的旗杆， 冈上的大旗。
18 Therefore the LORD will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
耶和华必然等候，要施恩给你们； 必然兴起，好怜悯你们。 因为耶和华是公平的 神； 凡等候他的都是有福的！
19 For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.
百姓必在锡安、在耶路撒冷居住；你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的声音施恩给你；他听见的时候就必应允你。
20 Though the LORD may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won't be hidden anymore, but your eyes will see your teachers;
主虽然以艰难给你当饼，以困苦给你当水，你的教师却不再隐藏；你眼必看见你的教师。
21 and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way. Walk in it."
你或向左或向右，你必听见后边有声音说：“这是正路，要行在其间。”
22 You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, "Go away."
你雕刻偶像所包的银子和铸造偶像所镀的金子，你要玷污，要抛弃，好像污秽之物，对偶像说：“去吧！”
23 And he will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground; it will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.
你将种子撒在地里，主必降雨在其上，并使地所出的粮肥美丰盛。到那时，你的牲畜必在宽阔的草场吃草。
24 The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
耕地的牛和驴驹必吃加盐的料；这料是用木杴和杈子扬净的。
25 There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
在大行杀戮的日子，高台倒塌的时候，各高山冈陵必有川流河涌。
26 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
当耶和华缠裹他百姓的损处，医治他民鞭伤的日子，月光必像日光，日光必加七倍，像七日的光一样。
27 Look, the name of the LORD comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.
看哪，耶和华的名从远方来， 怒气烧起，密烟上腾。 他的嘴唇满有忿恨； 他的舌头像吞灭的火。
28 His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.
他的气如涨溢的河水，直涨到颈项， 要用毁灭的筛箩筛净列国， 并且在众民的口中必有使人错行的嚼环。
29 You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to the LORD's mountain, to Israel's Rock.
你们必唱歌，像守圣节的夜间一样，并且心中喜乐，像人吹笛，上耶和华的山，到以色列的磐石那里。
30 The LORD will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
耶和华必使人听他威严的声音，又显他降罚的膀臂和他怒中的忿恨，并吞灭的火焰与霹雷、暴风、冰雹。
31 For through the voice of the LORD the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.
亚述人必因耶和华的声音惊惶；耶和华必用杖击打他。
32 And every stroke with his punishing club, which the LORD will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
耶和华必将命定的杖加在他身上；每打一下，人必击鼓弹琴。打杖的时候，耶和华必抡起手来，与他交战。
33 For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king it is made ready. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. The LORD's breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
原来陀斐特又深又宽，早已为王预备好了；其中堆的是火与许多木柴。耶和华的气如一股硫磺火使他着起来。
