Isaiah 10
1 Terrible things will happen to you judges who are unjust and who make unfair laws.
祸哉！那些设立不义之律例的 和记录奸诈之判语的，
2 You refuse to help poor people, and you do not allow them to get the things that they should get. You [allow people to] steal things from widows and do unfair things to orphans.
为要屈枉穷乏人， 夺去我民中困苦人的理， 以寡妇当作掳物， 以孤儿当作掠物。
3 When I punish you by sending people from distant lands to cause you to experience disasters, (to whom will you run to get help?/there will be no one who can help you.) [RHQ] Your valuable possessions will certainly [not be safe] [RHQ] anywhere.
到降罚的日子，有灾祸从远方临到， 那时，你们怎样行呢？ 你们向谁逃奔求救呢？ 你们的荣耀存留何处呢？
4 You will be able only to stumble along as you are taken away with other prisoners, or [else] your corpses will lie on the ground with others who have been killed. But even after that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry with you. He will still be ready to strike you again with his fist.
他们只得屈身在被掳的人以下， 仆倒在被杀的人以下。 虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消； 他的手仍伸不缩。
5 [Yahweh says], “Terrible things will happen to Assyria. [It is true that their army] is like a rod/club [DOU] with which I [punish other nations] because I am very angry with those nations [DOU].
亚述是我怒气的棍， 手中拿我恼恨的杖。
6 [Sometimes] I send the armies of Assyria to attack a godless nation, to fight against [other] people who have caused me to be angry. I send them to capture people and to seize and take away their possessions, and to trample them like [SIM] people walk on mud in the streets.
我要打发他攻击亵渎的国民， 吩咐他攻击我所恼怒的百姓， 抢财为掳物，夺货为掠物， 将他们践踏，像街上的泥土一样。
7 But the [king of Assyria] does not understand, he does not realize [that he is only like a weapon in my hand]. He wants [only] to destroy people, to get rid of many nations.
然而，他不是这样的意思； 他心也不这样打算。 他心里倒想毁灭， 剪除不少的国。
8 He says, ‘All of my army commanders will soon be kings [of these nations that I conquer]!
他说：我的臣仆岂不都是王吗？
9 We destroyed Calno [city] like we destroyed Carchemish [city], We destroyed Hamath [city] like we destroyed Arpad [city]; we destroyed Samaria just like we destroyed Damascus.
迦勒挪岂不像迦基米施吗？ 哈马岂不像亚珥拔吗？ 撒马利亚岂不像大马士革吗？
10 We were able to destroy [all] those kingdoms [that were full] of idols, kingdoms whose idols were greater than the idols in Jerusalem and Samaria.
我手已经搆到有偶像的国； 这些国雕刻的偶像 过于耶路撒冷和撒马利亚的偶像。
11 So we will defeat Jerusalem and destroy the idols that are there, just like we destroyed Samaria and the idols that were there!’
我怎样待撒马利亚和其中的偶像， 岂不照样待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像吗？
12 [But, I, Yahweh, say that] after I [have used Assyria to] finish what I want to do to punish the people in Jerusalem [DOU], I will punish the king of Assyria because he has been very proud and arrogant/boastful [DOU].
主在锡安山和耶路撒冷成就他一切工作的时候，主说：“我必罚亚述王自大的心和他高傲眼目的荣耀。”
13 He says, ‘By my own great power [MTY] I have done these things. I have been able to do them because I am very wise and very intelligent. My army removed the barriers [at the borders] of nations and carried away all their valuable things. My army has knocked down their kings like [SIM] a ferocious bull would.
因为他说： 我所成就的事是靠我手的能力 和我的智慧， 我本有聪明。 我挪移列国的地界， 抢夺他们所积蓄的财宝； 并且我像勇士，使坐宝座的降为卑。
14 Like [MET] a farmer reaches into a bird’s nest [to take away the eggs], we have taken away the treasures of other countries [DOU]. The people were not like birds that would flap their wings or chirp loudly [to protest about their eggs being stolen]; the people did not object at all [to their treasures being stolen].’
我的手搆到列国的财宝， 好像人搆到鸟窝； 我也得了全地， 好像人拾起所弃的雀蛋。 没有动翅膀的； 没有张嘴的，也没有鸣叫的。
15 [But I, Yahweh, say that] an axe certainly cannot [RHQ] boast about being stronger than the person who uses it, and a saw is not greater than the person who uses it. A rod cannot control the one who holds it [RHQ], and a wooden club cannot lift up a person [RHQ]. [So the king of Assyria should not boast that he has done these things with his own wisdom and strength].
斧岂可向用斧砍木的自夸呢？ 锯岂可向用锯的自大呢？ 好比棍抡起那举棍的， 好比杖举起那非木的人。
16 And [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, will send a plague among the proud soldiers of Assyria; it will be like [MET] a fire that will kill them and get rid of their glory/wealth.
因此，主—万军之耶和华 必使亚述王的肥壮人变为瘦弱， 在他的荣华之下必有火着起， 如同焚烧一样。
17 [I], Yahweh, who am like [MET] a light for the people of Israel, will be the fire; [I], the Holy One, will be like a flame. [The soldiers of Assyria are like] [MET] thorns and briers, and I will burn them up in one night.
以色列的光必如火； 他的圣者必如火焰。 在一日之间，将亚述王的荆棘 和蒺藜焚烧净尽；
18 There are glorious forests and fertile farmlands in Assyria, but I will completely destroy them; they will be like [SIM] a [very] sick person who shrivels up and then dies.
又将他树林和肥田的荣耀全然烧尽， 好像拿军旗的昏过去一样。
19 There will be very few trees left in those forests; even a child will be able to count them.”
他林中剩下的树必稀少， 就是孩子也能写其数。
20 In the future there will be only a few people left in Israel; not many descendants of Jacob will still be alive. [But] they will no longer rely on [the king of Assyria], [the king of the nation] that tried to destroy them. Instead, they will faithfully/sincerely trust in Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.
到那日，以色列所剩下的和雅各家所逃脱的，不再倚靠那击打他们的，却要诚实倚靠耶和华—以色列的圣者。
21 Those Israelis will return to their mighty God.
所剩下的，就是雅各家所剩下的，必归回全能的 神。
22 [Now], the people of Israel are as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore, but only a few of them will return [from the countries to which they were exiled]. Yahweh has decided to destroy [most of the Israelis] and that is what [he must do because he is completely] just/righteous.
以色列啊，你的百姓虽多如海沙，惟有剩下的归回。原来灭绝的事已定，必有公义施行，如水涨溢。
23 [Yes, ] the Commander of the armies of angels has [already] decided to destroy the entire land [of Israel].
因为主—万军之耶和华在全地之中必成就所定规的结局。
24 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “My people in Jerusalem, do not be afraid of the army of Assyria when they beat you with rods and clubs, like the men of Egypt did [to your ancestors long ago].
所以，主—万军之耶和华如此说：“住锡安我的百姓啊，亚述王虽然用棍击打你，又照埃及的样子举杖攻击你，你却不要怕他。
25 Soon I will no longer be angry with you, and [then] I will be angry with the people of Assyria and destroy them!”
因为还有一点点时候，向你们发的忿恨就要完毕，我的怒气要向他发作，使他灭亡。
26 The Commander of the armies of angels will whip them. He will do to them like he did when he helped Gideon [and his 300 soldiers] to defeat the [army of the] Midian people-group, and like he did when he showed his mighty power [MTY] [by causing the army of Egypt to drown] in the [Red] Sea.
万军之耶和华要兴起鞭来攻击他，好像在俄立磐石那里杀戮米甸人一样。耶和华的杖要向海伸出，把杖举起，像在埃及一样。
27 Some day, Yahweh will cause the army of Assyria to stop oppressing you, [his people]; he will end your suffering and your being slaves of the people of Assyria [MET]; he will take away the load that you people of Judah have been carrying, and cause things to go well for you.
到那日，亚述王的重担必离开你的肩头；他的轭必离开你的颈项；那轭也必因肥壮的缘故撑断。”
28 [The army of Assyria will enter northern Judah] near Aiath [town], they will go through Migron [town] and store their supplies at Micmash [town north of Jerusalem].
亚述王来到亚叶， 经过米矶 ， 在密抹安放辎重。
29 They will cross through a mountain pass and set up their tents at Geba [town]. [People in] Ramah [town] will tremble [because of being afraid]. [The people of] Gibeah [town], where King Saul [was born], will [all] run away.
他们过了隘口， 在迦巴住宿。 拉玛人战兢； 扫罗的基比亚人逃跑。
30 You people of Gallim [town] will cry out [for help]. You will shout to [the people of] Laish [city near Jerusalem] to warn them! [The people of] Anathoth [town] will suffer a lot.
迦琳的居民哪，要高声呼喊！ 莱煞人哪，须听！ 哀哉！困苦的亚拿突啊。
31 [The people of] Madmenah [town north of Jerusalem will all] be running away, and [the people of] Gebim [town close to Jerusalem] will be trying to hide.
玛得米那人躲避； 基柄的居民逃遁。
32 The soldiers of Assyria will stop at Nob [city outside Jerusalem]. They will shake their fists [as they threaten the people] on Zion Hill in Jerusalem.
当那日，亚述王要在挪伯歇兵， 向锡安女子的山— 就是耶路撒冷的山—抡手攻他。
33 But listen to this! The Commander of the armies of angels with his great power will destroy [MET] the mighty army of Assyria. [It is as though they are] a huge tree [MET] that he will cut down.
看哪，主—万军之耶和华 以惊吓削去树枝； 长高的必被砍下， 高大的必被伐倒。
34 He will destroy the [soldiers of Assyria] like men use big axes to cut down the tall trees in the forests of Lebanon.
稠密的树林，他要用铁器砍下； 黎巴嫩的树木必被大能者伐倒。
