Isaiah 32
1 Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
看哪，必有一王凭公义行政； 必有首领借公平掌权。
2 Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
必有一人像避风所和避暴雨的隐密处， 又像河流在干旱之地， 像大磐石的影子在疲乏之地。
3 When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
那能看的人，眼不再昏迷； 能听的人，耳必得听闻。
4 [Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
冒失人的心必明白知识； 结巴人的舌必说话通快。
5 [At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
愚顽人不再称为高明； 吝啬人不再称为大方。
6 Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
因为愚顽人必说愚顽话， 心里想作罪孽， 惯行亵渎的事， 说错谬的话攻击耶和华， 使饥饿的人无食可吃， 使口渴的人无水可喝。
7 Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
吝啬人所用的法子是恶的； 他图谋恶计， 用谎言毁灭谦卑人； 穷乏人讲公理的时候， 他也是这样行。
8 But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
高明人却谋高明事， 在高明事上也必永存。
9 You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
安逸的妇女啊，起来听我的声音！ 无虑的女子啊，侧耳听我的言语！
10 One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
无虑的女子啊，再过一年多，必受骚扰； 因为无葡萄可摘， 无果子可收。
11 [So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
安逸的妇女啊，要战兢； 无虑的女子啊，要受骚扰。 脱去衣服，赤着身体， 腰束麻布。
12 Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
她们必为美好的田地 和多结果的葡萄树，捶胸哀哭。
13 because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
荆棘蒺藜必长在我百姓的地上， 又长在欢乐的城中和一切快乐的房屋上。
14 The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
因为宫殿必被撇下， 多民的城必被离弃； 山冈望楼永为洞穴， 作野驴所喜乐的， 为羊群的草场。
15 [It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
等到圣灵从上浇灌我们， 旷野就变为肥田， 肥田看如树林。
16 People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
那时，公平要居在旷野； 公义要居在肥田。
17 And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
公义的果效必是平安； 公义的效验必是平稳，直到永远。
18 My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
我的百姓必住在平安的居所， 安稳的住处，平静的安歇所。
19 [Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
（但要降冰雹打倒树林； 城必全然拆平。）
20 Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
你们在各水边撒种、 牧放牛驴的有福了！
