Isaiah 26
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks.
当那日，在犹大地人必唱这歌说： 我们有坚固的城。 耶和华要将救恩定为城墙，为外郭。
2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth truth may enter in.
敞开城门， 使守信的义民得以进入。
3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
坚心倚赖你的， 你必保守他十分平安， 因为他倚靠你。
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is an everlasting rock.
你们当倚靠耶和华直到永远， 因为耶和华是永久的磐石。
5 For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
他使住高处的与高城一并败落， 将城拆毁，拆平，直到尘埃，
6 The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
要被脚践踏， 就是被困苦人的脚和穷乏人的脚践踏。
7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art up right dost direct the path of the just.
义人的道是正直的； 你为正直的主，必修平义人的路。
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; to thy name and to thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
耶和华啊，我们在你行审判的路上等候你； 我们心里所羡慕的是你的名， 就是你那可记念的名。
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
夜间，我心中羡慕你； 我里面的灵切切寻求你。 因为你在世上行审判的时候， 地上的居民就学习公义。
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
以恩惠待恶人， 他仍不学习公义； 在正直的地上，他必行事不义， 也不注意耶和华的威严。
11 LORD, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be ashamed; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
耶和华啊，你的手高举， 他们仍然不看； 却要看你为百姓发的热心，因而抱愧， 并且有火烧灭你的敌人。
12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou hast also wrought all our works for us.
耶和华啊，你必派定我们得平安， 因为我们所做的事都是你给我们成就的。
13 O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
耶和华—我们的 神啊， 在你以外曾有别的主管辖我们， 但我们专要倚靠你，提你的名。
14 [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
他们死了，必不能再活； 他们去世，必不能再起； 因为你刑罚他们，毁灭他们， 他们的名号就全然消灭。
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified: thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.
耶和华啊，你增添国民， 你增添国民； 你得了荣耀， 又扩张地的四境。
16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening was upon them.
耶和华啊，他们在急难中寻求你； 你的惩罚临到他们身上， 他们就倾心吐胆祷告你。
17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, O LORD.
妇人怀孕，临产疼痛， 在痛苦之中喊叫； 耶和华啊，我们在你面前也是如此。
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
我们也曾怀孕疼痛， 所产的竟像风一样。 我们在地上未曾行什么拯救的事； 世上的居民也未曾败落。
19 Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
死人要复活， 尸首要兴起。 睡在尘埃的啊，要醒起歌唱！ 因你的甘露好像菜蔬上的甘露， 地也要交出死人来。
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
我的百姓啊，你们要来进入内室， 关上门，隐藏片时， 等到忿怒过去。
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
因为耶和华从他的居所出来， 要刑罚地上居民的罪孽。 地也必露出其中的血， 不再掩盖被杀的人。
