Isaiah 59
1 Here! not it is [too] short [the] hand of Yahweh for saving and not it is [too] heavy ear his for hearing.
耶和華的膀臂並非縮短，不能拯救， 耳朵並非發沉，不能聽見，
2 For except iniquities your they have been separating between you and between God your and sins your they have hidden face from you from hearing.
但你們的罪孽使你們與上帝隔絕； 你們的罪惡使他掩面不聽你們。
3 For hands your they are defiled with blood and fingers your with iniquity lips your they have spoken falsehood tongue your injustice it mutters.
因你們的手被血沾染， 你們的指頭被罪孽沾污， 你們的嘴唇說謊言， 你們的舌頭出惡語。
4 There not [is one who] calls in righteousness and there not [is one who] enters into judgment in truth [they are] trusting on emptiness and they speak worthlessness they conceive mischief and they bring forth wickedness.
無一人按公義告狀， 無一人憑誠實辯白； 都倚靠虛妄，說謊言。 所懷的是毒害； 所生的是罪孽。
5 Eggs of a viper they have hatched and webs of a spider they weave the [one who] eats any of eggs their he will die and the pressed [egg] it is hatched a snake.
他們菢毒蛇蛋， 結蜘蛛網； 人吃這蛋必死。 這蛋被踏，必出蝮蛇。
6 Webs their not they will become clothing and not people will cover themselves with products their products their [are] products of wickedness and deed[s] of violence [is] in hands their.
所結的網不能成為衣服； 所做的也不能遮蓋自己。 他們的行為都是罪孽； 手所做的都是強暴。
7 Feet their to evil they run and they may hasten to shed blood innocent thoughts their [are] thoughts of wickedness devastation and destruction [are] on highways their.
他們的腳奔跑行惡； 他們急速流無辜人的血； 意念都是罪孽， 所經過的路都荒涼毀滅。
8 A way of peace not they know and there not [is] justice on tracks their paths their they have made crooked themselves any [one who] treads on it not he knows peace.
平安的路，他們不知道； 所行的事沒有公平。 他們為自己修彎曲的路； 凡行此路的都不知道平安。
9 There-fore it is far justice from us and not it reaches us righteousness we wait eagerly for the light and there! darkness for gleams of light in gloom we walk.
因此，公平離我們遠， 公義追不上我們。 我們指望光亮，卻是黑暗， 指望光明，卻行幽暗。
10 We grope for like blind [people] a wall and like there not [are] eyes we grope we have stumbled at noon like the twilight among the fat people like dead [people].
我們摸索牆壁，好像瞎子； 我們摸索，如同無目之人。 我們晌午絆腳，如在黃昏一樣； 我們在肥壯人中，像死人一般。
11 We growl like bears all of us and like doves certainly we moan we wait eagerly for justice and there not for deliverance it is far from us.
我們咆哮如熊， 哀鳴如鴿； 指望公平，卻是沒有； 指望救恩，卻遠離我們。
12 For they are many transgressions our before you and sins our it has testified against us that transgressions our [are] with us and iniquities our we know them.
我們的過犯在你面前增多， 罪惡作見證告我們； 過犯與我們同在。 至於我們的罪孽，我們都知道：
13 We have transgressed and we have denied Yahweh and we have turned back from after God our we have spoken oppression and rebellion we have conceived and we have uttered from [the] heart words of falsehood.
就是悖逆、不認識耶和華， 轉去不跟從我們的上帝， 說欺壓和叛逆的話， 心懷謊言，隨即說出。
14 And it has been driven back backwards justice and righteousness from a distance it stands for it has stumbled in the open place truth and honesty not it is able to enter.
並且公平轉而退後， 公義站在遠處； 誠實在街上仆倒， 正直也不得進入。
15 And it was truth lacking and [one who] turned aside from evil [was] plundered and he saw Yahweh and it was displeasing in view his that there not [was] justice.
誠實少見； 離惡的人反成掠物。 那時，耶和華看見沒有公平， 甚不喜悅。
16 And he saw that there not [was] anyone and he was appalled that there not [was one who] interposed and it gave victory to him own arm his and own righteousness his it it sustained him.
他見無人拯救， 無人代求，甚為詫異， 就用自己的膀臂施行拯救， 以公義扶持自己。
17 And he put on righteousness like body armor and a helmet of salvation on head his and he put on garments of vengeance clothing and he wrapped himself like robe zeal.
他以公義為鎧甲， 以拯救為頭盔， 以報仇為衣服， 以熱心為外袍。
18 As on deeds as on he will repay rage to opponents his recompense to enemies his to the islands recompense he will repay.
他必按人的行為施報， 惱怒他的敵人， 報復他的仇敵， 向眾海島施行報應。
19 And they may fear from [the] setting place [the] name of Yahweh and from [the] rising of [the] sun glory his for he will come like river narrow [which] [the] wind of Yahweh it will drive it.
如此，人從日落之處必敬畏耶和華的名， 從日出之地也必敬畏他的榮耀； 因為仇敵好像急流的河水沖來， 是耶和華之氣所驅逐的。
20 And he will come to Zion a redeemer and to [those who] repent of transgression in Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh.
必有一位救贖主來到錫安－ 雅各族中轉離過犯的人那裏。 這是耶和華說的。
21 And I this [is] covenant my with them he says Yahweh spirit my which [is] on you and words my which I have put in mouth your not they will depart from mouth your and from [the] mouth of offspring your and from [the] mouth of [the] offspring of offspring your he says Yahweh from now and until perpetuity.
耶和華說：「至於我與他們所立的約乃是這樣：我加給你的靈，傳給你的話，必不離你的口，也不離你後裔與你後裔之後裔的口，從今直到永遠；這是耶和華說的。」
