Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the festivals come round.
唉！亚利伊勒，亚利伊勒， 大卫安营的城， 任凭你年上加年， 节期照常周流。
2 But I will besiege Ariel, and she will be mourning and lamenting; and she will be to me like Ariel.
我终必使亚利伊勒困难； 她必悲伤哀号， 我却仍以她为亚利伊勒。
3 I will encamp against you in a circle and will lay siege against you with a palisade, and I will raise siege works against you.
我必四围安营攻击你， 屯兵围困你， 筑垒攻击你。
4 You will be brought down and will speak from the ground; your speech will be low from the dust. Your voice will sound like a spirit that speaks from the ground, and out of the dust your speech will whisper.
你必败落，从地中说话； 你的言语必微细出于尘埃。 你的声音必像那交鬼者的声音出于地； 你的言语低低微微出于尘埃。
5 The great number of your invaders will become like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones as chaff that passes away. It will happen suddenly, in an instant.
你仇敌的群众，却要像细尘； 强暴人的群众，也要像飞糠。 这事必顷刻之间忽然临到。
6 Yahweh of hosts will come to you with thunder, earthquake, great noise, with strong winds and violent storm, and the flames of a devouring fire.
万军之耶和华必用雷轰、地震、大声、旋风、暴风， 并吞灭的火焰，向她讨罪。
7 It will be like a dream, a vision of the night: A horde of all the nations will fight against Ariel and her stronghold. They will attack her and her fortifications to press upon her.
那时，攻击亚利伊勒列国的群众， 就是一切攻击亚利伊勒和她的保障， 并使她困难的， 必如梦景，如夜间的异象；
8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams he is eating, but when he awakes, his stomach is empty. It will be like when a thirsty man dreams that he is drinking, but he when he awakes, he is fainting, with his thirst not quenched. Yes, so will be the great number of nations that fights against Mount Zion.
又必像饥饿的人梦中吃饭， 醒了仍觉腹空； 或像口渴的人梦中喝水， 醒了仍觉发昏，心里想喝。 攻击锡安山列国的群众也必如此。
9 Astonish yourselves and be astonished; blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not with beer.
你们等候惊奇吧！ 你们宴乐昏迷吧！ 他们醉了，却非因酒； 他们东倒西歪，却非因浓酒。
10 For Yahweh has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep. He has closed your eyes, the prophets, and has covered your heads, the seers.
因为耶和华将沉睡的灵浇灌你们， 封闭你们的眼， 蒙盖你们的头。 你们的眼就是先知； 你们的头就是先见。
11 All revelation has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men might give to one who is learned, saying, “Read this.” He also says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
所有的默示，你们看如封住的书卷，人将这书卷交给识字的，说：“请念吧！”他说：“我不能念，因为是封住了。”
12 If the book is given to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”
又将这书卷交给不识字的人，说：“请念吧！”他说：“我不识字。”
13 The Lord said, “This people comes close to me with their mouths and honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Their honor for me is only a commandment of men that has been taught.
主说：因为这百姓亲近我， 用嘴唇尊敬我， 心却远离我； 他们敬畏我， 不过是领受人的吩咐。
14 Therefore, see, I will proceed to do a marvelous thing among this people, wonder after wonder. The wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will disappear.”
所以，我在这百姓中要行奇妙的事， 就是奇妙又奇妙的事。 他们智慧人的智慧必然消灭， 聪明人的聪明必然隐藏。
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in darkness. They say, “Who sees us, and who knows us?”
祸哉！那些向耶和华深藏谋略的， 又在暗中行事，说： 谁看见我们呢？ 谁知道我们呢？
16 You turn things upside down! Should the potter be considered like clay, so that the thing that is made should say about him who made it, “He did not make me,” or the thing formed say about him who formed it, “He does not understand”?
你们把事颠倒了， 岂可看窑匠如泥吗？ 被制作的物岂可论制作物的说： 他没有制作我？ 或是被创造的物论造物的说： 他没有聪明？
17 In just a little while, Lebanon will be turned into a field, and the field will become a forest.
黎巴嫩变为肥田， 肥田看如树林， 不是只有一点点时候吗？
18 On that day the deaf will hear the words of a book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of the deep darkness.
那时，聋子必听见这书上的话； 瞎子的眼必从迷蒙黑暗中得以看见。
19 The oppressed will again rejoice in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
谦卑人必因耶和华增添欢喜； 人间贫穷的必因以色列的圣者快乐。
20 For the ruthless will cease, and the scoffer will vanish. All those who love to do evil will be eliminated,
因为，强暴人已归无有， 亵慢人已经灭绝， 一切找机会作孽的都被剪除。
21 who by a word make a man out to be an offender. They lay a snare for him who seeks justice at the gate and put the righteous down with empty lies.
他们在争讼的事上定无罪的为有罪， 为城门口责备人的设下网罗， 用虚无的事屈枉义人。
22 Therefore this is what Yahweh says concerning the house of Jacob—Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, “Jacob will no longer be ashamed, nor will his face be pale.
所以，救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华 论雅各家如此说： 雅各必不再羞愧， 面容也不致变色。
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, they will make my name holy. They will make holy the name of the Holy One of Jacob and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
但他看见他的众子， 就是我手的工作在他那里， 他们必尊我的名为圣， 必尊雅各的圣者为圣， 必敬畏以色列的 神。
24 Those who err in spirit will gain understanding, and complainers will learn knowledge.”
心中迷糊的必得明白； 发怨言的必受训诲。
