Isaiah 1
1 [I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
当乌西雅、约坦、亚哈斯、希西家作犹大王的时候，亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示，论到犹大和耶路撒冷。
2 This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
天哪，要听！地啊，侧耳而听！ 因为耶和华说： 我养育儿女，将他们养大， 他们竟悖逆我。
3 Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
牛认识主人， 驴认识主人的槽， 以色列却不认识； 我的民却不留意。
4 Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
嗐！犯罪的国民， 担着罪孽的百姓； 行恶的种类， 败坏的儿女！ 他们离弃耶和华， 藐视以色列的圣者， 与他生疏，往后退步。
5 Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
你们为什么屡次悖逆， 还要受责打吗？ 你们已经满头疼痛， 全心发昏。
6 [It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
从脚掌到头顶， 没有一处完全的， 尽是伤口、青肿，与新打的伤痕， 都没有收口，没有缠裹， 也没有用膏滋润。
7 [It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
你们的地土已经荒凉； 你们的城邑被火焚毁。 你们的田地在你们眼前为外邦人所侵吞， 既被外邦人倾覆就成为荒凉。
8 The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
仅存锡安城， 好像葡萄园的草棚， 瓜田的茅屋， 被围困的城邑。
9 If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
若不是万军之耶和华给我们稍留余种， 我们早已像所多玛、蛾摩拉的样子了。
10 You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
你们这所多玛的官长啊， 要听耶和华的话！ 你们这蛾摩拉的百姓啊， 要侧耳听我们 神的训诲！
11 He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
耶和华说： 你们所献的许多祭物与我何益呢？ 公绵羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油， 我已经够了； 公牛的血，羊羔的血，公山羊的血， 我都不喜悦。
12 When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
你们来朝见我， 谁向你们讨这些， 使你们践踏我的院宇呢？
13 Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
你们不要再献虚浮的供物。 香品是我所憎恶的； 月朔和安息日，并宣召的大会， 也是我所憎恶的； 作罪孽，又守严肃会， 我也不能容忍。
14 I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
你们的月朔和节期，我心里恨恶， 我都以为麻烦； 我担当，便不耐烦。
15 [So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
你们举手祷告，我必遮眼不看； 就是你们多多地祈祷，我也不听。 你们的手都满了杀人的血。
16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
你们要洗濯、自洁， 从我眼前除掉你们的恶行， 要止住作恶，
17 Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
学习行善， 寻求公平， 解救受欺压的； 给孤儿伸冤， 为寡妇辨屈。
18 Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
耶和华说： 你们来，我们彼此辩论。 你们的罪虽像朱红，必变成雪白； 虽红如丹颜，必白如羊毛。
19 If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
你们若甘心听从， 必吃地上的美物，
20 But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
若不听从，反倒悖逆， 必被刀剑吞灭。 这是耶和华亲口说的。
21 “[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
可叹，忠信的城变为妓女！ 从前充满了公平， 公义居在其中， 现今却有凶手居住。
22 Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
你的银子变为渣滓； 你的酒用水搀对。
23 Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
你的官长居心悖逆， 与盗贼作伴， 各都喜爱贿赂， 追求赃私。 他们不为孤儿伸冤； 寡妇的案件也不得呈到他们面前。
24 Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
因此，主—万军之耶和华、 以色列的大能者说： 哎！我要向我的对头雪恨， 向我的敌人报仇。
25 I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
我必反手加在你身上， 炼尽你的渣滓， 除净你的杂质。
26 [After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
我也必复还你的审判官，像起初一样， 复还你的谋士，像起先一般。 然后，你必称为公义之城， 忠信之邑。
27 Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
锡安必因公平得蒙救赎； 其中归正的人必因公义得蒙救赎。
28 But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同败亡； 离弃耶和华的必致消灭。
29 You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
那等人必因你们所喜爱的橡树抱愧； 你们必因所选择的园子蒙羞。
30 You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
因为，你们必如叶子枯干的橡树， 好像无水浇灌的园子。
31 Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
有权势的必如麻瓤； 他的工作好像火星， 都要一同焚毁，无人扑灭。
