Isaiah 66
1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[All of] heaven is [like] my throne, and the whole earth is [like] my footstool. So you could certainly not [RHQ] build a house [that would be adequate] for me to live in and rest!
耶和华如此说： 天是我的座位； 地是我的脚凳。 你们要为我造何等的殿宇？ 哪里是我安息的地方呢？
2 I [MTY] have created everything; all things exist because I made them. [That is true because I], Yahweh, have said it. The people I am [most] pleased with are those who are humble, who [patiently endure it when they] (suffer/are afflicted), and who tremble when they hear me [rebuking them].
耶和华说：这一切都是我手所造的， 所以就都有了。 但我所看顾的， 就是虚心痛悔、 因我话而战兢的人。
3 You have enjoyed [continually] doing the things that you want to do: [Some of] you slaughter oxen [to sacrifice them to me], but you also bring human sacrifices [to your idols]! You sacrifice lambs [to me], but you kill dogs [to offer them to your gods]. You offer grain to me, but you also bring pigs’ blood [to your idols]. You burn incense [to me], but you also praise your idols. You enjoy doing those disgusting things.
假冒为善的宰牛，好像杀人， 献羊羔，好像打折狗项， 献供物，好像献猪血， 烧乳香，好像称颂偶像。 这等人拣选自己的道路， 心里喜悦行可憎恶的事。
4 When I called [out to you], you did not answer. When I spoke, you did not pay attention. You did [many] things that I say are evil; you chose [to do] things that I did not like. So [now] I will punish you by causing you to experience the things that you are [very] afraid of.”
我也必拣选迷惑他们的事， 使他们所惧怕的临到他们； 因为我呼唤，无人答应； 我说话，他们不听从； 反倒行我眼中看为恶的， 拣选我所不喜悦的。
5 But you people who tremble when you hear what Yahweh says, listen to what he says [now]: “Some of your people hate you and reject you because you belong to me. They make fun of you, and they say, ‘Yahweh should show his glorious power! We want to see him [do something to cause] you to be truly happy.’ But [some day] those people will be [very] disgraced.”
你们因耶和华言语战兢的人当听他的话： 你们的弟兄—就是恨恶你们， 因我名赶出你们的，曾说： 愿耶和华得荣耀， 使我们得见你们的喜乐； 但蒙羞的究竟是他们！
6 [At that time], you will listen to the noise in the city. You will hear the shouting in the temple. It will be the sound of Yahweh shouting while he is punishing his enemies!
有喧哗的声音出自城中！ 有声音出于殿中！ 是耶和华向仇敌施行报应的声音！
7 No one [RHQ] ever heard that a woman gave birth to a baby when she was just starting to have birth pains.
锡安未曾劬劳就生产， 未觉疼痛就生出男孩。
8 Certainly no one [RHQ] ever heard about such a thing happening, and no one has ever seen it happen. [Similarly], no one ever [RHQ] heard that a nation was created in one instant, not even in one day. But Jerusalem is like [MET] [a woman who] gives birth to children as soon as she starts to have birth pains.
国岂能一日而生？ 民岂能一时而产？ 因为锡安一劬劳便生下儿女， 这样的事谁曾听见？ 谁曾看见呢？
9 Women certainly do not [RHQ] bring infants to the time when they are ready to be born and then do not allow them to be born. [Similarly, he will do for Jerusalem] [MET] [what he has promised to do]: [He will cause Jerusalem to be full of people again]. [That will happen because] Yahweh has said it.
耶和华说：我既使她临产， 岂不使她生产呢？ 你的 神说：我既使她生产， 岂能使她闭胎不生呢？
10 You people in [APO] Jerusalem, rejoice! And all you people who love Jerusalem should also be happy. You people who were sad because of [what happened to Jerusalem], you should now be glad.
你们爱慕耶路撒冷的 都要与她一同欢喜快乐； 你们为她悲哀的 都要与她一同乐上加乐；
11 [You people in Jerusalem] will [have everything that you need] like [MET] a baby that gets all it needs from its mother’s breasts. You will enjoy all the abundant and glorious things [MET] in the city.
使你们在她安慰的怀中吃奶得饱， 使他们得她丰盛的荣耀， 犹如挤奶，满心喜乐。
12 Yahweh has promised, “I will cause Jerusalem to be full of valuable things that come from other nations; those things will pour into Jerusalem; it will be like [SIM] a big flood. I will take care of the people of Jerusalem like women care for the babies that they nurse.
耶和华如此说： 我要使平安延及她，好像江河， 使列国的荣耀延及她，如同涨溢的河。 你们要从中享受； 你们必蒙抱在肋旁，摇弄在膝上。
13 I will comfort you people in Jerusalem like [MET] mothers comfort their children.”
母亲怎样安慰儿子，我就照样安慰你们； 你们也必因耶路撒冷得安慰。
14 When you see [those things happen], you [SYN] will rejoice. Your [old] bones will become strong [again] like [SIM] grass [that grows quickly/well in the springtime]. [When that happens, everyone] will know that Yahweh has power [MTY] to help those who worship and obey him, but that he is angry with his enemies.
你们看见，就心中快乐； 你们的骨头必得滋润像嫩草一样； 而且耶和华的手向他仆人所行的必被人知道； 他也要向仇敌发恼恨。
15 Yahweh will come down with flames of fire, and his chariots [will come down] like [SIM] a whirlwind; he will be extremely angry, and he will punish [his enemies] by burning them in a fire.
看哪，耶和华必在火中降临； 他的车辇像旋风， 以烈怒施行报应， 以火焰施行责罚；
16 [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has a [big] sword, and he will judge and execute many people.
因为耶和华在一切有血气的人身上， 必以火与刀施行审判； 被耶和华所杀的必多。
17 Yahweh says, “Some of you people purify/bathe yourselves and [then] go to a garden to worship your gods. You eat the meat of pigs and lizards and mice, [and other things that I have forbidden you to eat]. So I will get rid of you [for doing that].
“那些分别为圣、洁净自己的，进入园内跟在其中一个人的后头，吃猪肉和仓鼠并可憎之物，他们必一同灭绝；这是耶和华说的。
18 I know [all] the [evil] things that you think and do. [It is now time] for me to gather together the people who live in all nations and who speak all languages, and to show them that I am very great.
“我知道他们的行为和他们的意念。时候将到，我必将万民万族聚来，看见我的荣耀，
19 I will put a mark on them, and those whom I have spared will go to various [distant] countries: to Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal, Javan, and to distant islands. I will send them to proclaim to nations that have never heard about me that I am very great and glorious.
我要显神迹在他们中间。逃脱的，我要差到列国去，就是到他施、普勒、拉弓的路德和土巴、雅完，并素来没有听见我名声、没有看见我荣耀辽远的海岛；他们必将我的荣耀传扬在列国中。
20 Then they will bring back here your relatives [who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries)], to be like [SIM] an offering to me. They will come on horses, in chariots, on mules, and on camels. They will come to [Zion, ] my sacred hill in Jerusalem. That will be like [SIM] the offerings that [my] Israeli people used to bring in the correct manner to the temple.
他们必将你们的弟兄从列国中送回，使他们或骑马，或坐车，坐轿，骑骡子，骑独峰驼，到我的圣山耶路撒冷，作为供物献给耶和华，好像以色列人用洁净的器皿盛供物奉到耶和华的殿中；这是耶和华说的。
21 [I solemnly promise that] I will appoint some of them to be priests, and others to do other work in my temple. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
耶和华说：我也必从他们中间取人为祭司，为利未人。”
22 I [also] promise that just like the new heaven and the new earth will last forever, you will always have descendants, and you [MTY] will always be honored.
耶和华说：我所要造的新天新地， 怎样在我面前长存； 你们的后裔和你们的名字也必照样长存。
23 At every festival to celebrate the Sabbath [each week] and the new moon [each month], everyone will [come and] worship me. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
每逢月朔、安息日， 凡有血气的必来在我面前下拜。 这是耶和华说的。
24 Then they will go out [of Jerusalem] and look at the corpses of those who rebelled against me. The maggots in those corpses will never die, the fire will never stop burning them, and everyone [who sees their corpses] will detest them.”
他们必出去观看那些违背我人的尸首； 因为他们的虫是不死的； 他们的火是不灭的； 凡有血气的都必憎恶他们。
