< Isaiah 65 >

1 I AM inquired of by them that asked not [for me]; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by 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 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that is not good, after 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 that provoketh me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks;
这百姓时常当面惹我发怒; 在园中献祭, 在坛上烧香;
4 which sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; which eat swine’s flesh, and 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 which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou: these are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth 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 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, 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, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.
8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, 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 a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of 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 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people that 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 ye that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that fill up mingled wine unto 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 ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.
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 saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
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 behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation 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 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen, and the Lord GOD shall slay thee; and he shall 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 blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine 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, behold, 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 ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, 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 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor 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 thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old, and the sinner being an 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 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
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 labour in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed 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 And it shall come to pass 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 meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith 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。
