Isaiah 65
1 “I was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek. I said, 'Here I am! Here I am!' to a nation that did not call on my name.
素来没有访问我的，现在求问我； 没有寻找我的，我叫他们遇见； 没有称为我名下的，我对他们说： 我在这里！我在这里！
2 I have spread out my hands all day to a stubborn people, who walk in a way that is not good, who have walked after their own thoughts and plans!
我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓； 他们随自己的意念行不善之道。
3 They are a people who continually offend me, offering sacrifices in gardens, and burning incense on brick tiles.
这百姓时常当面惹我发怒； 在园中献祭， 在坛上烧香；
4 They sit among the graves and keep watch all night, and eat pork with the broth of foul meat in their dishes.
在坟墓间坐着， 在隐密处住宿， 吃猪肉； 他们器皿中有可憎之物做的汤；
5 They say, 'Stand away, do not come near to me, for I am holier than you.' These things are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day long.
且对人说：你站开吧！ 不要挨近我，因为我比你圣洁。 主说：这些人是我鼻中的烟， 是整天烧着的火。
6 Look, it is written before me: I will not keep quiet, for I will pay them back; I will repay them into their laps,
看哪，这都写在我面前。 我必不静默，必施行报应， 必将你们的罪孽和你们列祖的罪孽， 就是在山上烧香， 在冈上亵渎我的罪孽， 一同报应在他们后人怀中， 我先要把他们所行的量给他们； 这是耶和华说的。
7 for their sins and the sins of their fathers together,” says Yahweh. “I will repay them for burning incense on the mountains and for mocking me on the hills. I will therefore measure out their past deeds into their laps.”
8 This is what Yahweh says, “As when juice is found in a cluster of grapes, when one says, 'Do not ruin it, for there is good in it,' this is what I will do for my servants' sake: I will not ruin them all.
耶和华如此说：葡萄中寻得新酒， 人就说：不要毁坏， 因为福在其中。 我因我仆人的缘故也必照样而行， 不将他们全然毁灭。
9 I will bring descendants from Jacob, and from Judah ones who will possess my mountains. My chosen ones will possess the land, and my servants will live there.
我必从雅各中领出后裔， 从犹大中领出承受我众山的。 我的选民必承受； 我的仆人要在那里居住。
10 Sharon will become a pasture for the flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for my people who seek me.
沙 平原必成为羊群的圈； 亚割谷必成为牛群躺卧之处， 都为寻求我的民所得。
11 But you who abandon Yahweh, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and fill wine glasses of mixed wine for Destiny.
但你们这些离弃耶和华、 忘记我的圣山、给时运摆筵席、 给天命盛满调和酒的，
12 I will appoint you for the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter, because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not listen. But you did what was evil in my sight and and chose to do what displeases me.”
我要命定你们归在刀下， 都必屈身被杀； 因为我呼唤，你们没有答应； 我说话，你们没有听从； 反倒行我眼中看为恶的， 拣选我所不喜悦的。
13 This is what the Lord Yahweh says, “Look, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; look, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty; look, my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.
所以，主耶和华如此说： 我的仆人必得吃，你们却饥饿； 我的仆人必得喝，你们却干渴； 我的仆人必欢喜，你们却蒙羞。
14 Look, my servants will shout with joy because of gladness of heart, but you will cry because of the pain of the heart, and will wail because of the crushing of the spirit.
我的仆人因心中高兴欢呼， 你们却因心中忧愁哀哭， 又因心里忧伤哀号。
15 You will leave behind your name as a curse for my chosen ones to speak; I, the Lord Yahweh, will kill you; I will call my servants by another name.
你们必留下自己的名， 为我选民指着赌咒。 主耶和华必杀你们， 另起别名称呼他的仆人。
16 Whoever pronounces a blessing on the earth will be blessed by me, the God of truth. Whoever takes an oath on the earth will swear by me, the God of truth, because the former troubles will be forgotten, for they will be hidden from my eyes.
这样，在地上为自己求福的， 必凭真实的 神求福； 在地上起誓的， 必指真实的 神起誓。 因为，从前的患难已经忘记， 也从我眼前隐藏了。
17 For see, I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered or be brought to mind.
看哪！我造新天新地； 从前的事不再被记念，也不再追想。
18 But you will be glad and rejoice forever in what I am about to create. See, I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and her people as a delight.
你们当因我所造的永远欢喜快乐； 因我造耶路撒冷为人所喜， 造其中的居民为人所乐。
19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem and be glad over my people; weeping and cries of distress will no longer be heard in her.
我必因耶路撒冷欢喜， 因我的百姓快乐； 其中必不再听见哭泣的声音和哀号的声音。
20 Never again will an infant live there only a few days; nor will an old man die before his time. One who dies at one hundred years old will be considered a young person. Anyone who fails to reach the age of one hundred years old will be considered cursed.
其中必没有数日夭亡的婴孩， 也没有寿数不满的老者； 因为百岁死的仍算孩童， 有百岁死的罪人算被咒诅。
21 They will build houses and inhabit them, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
他们要建造房屋，自己居住； 栽种葡萄园，吃其中的果子。
22 No longer will they build a house and another live in it; they will not plant, and another eat; for as the days of trees will be the days of my people. My chosen will fully outlive the work of their hands.
他们建造的，别人不得住； 他们栽种的，别人不得吃； 因为我民的日子必像树木的日子； 我选民亲手劳碌得来的必长久享用。
23 They will not labor in vain, nor give birth to dismay. For they are the children of those blessed by Yahweh, and their descendants with them.
他们必不徒然劳碌， 所生产的，也不遭灾害， 因为都是蒙耶和华赐福的后裔； 他们的子孙也是如此。
24 Before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
他们尚未求告，我就应允； 正说话的时候，我就垂听。
25 The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; but dust will be the serpent's food. They will no longer hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.
豺狼必与羊羔同食； 狮子必吃草与牛一样； 尘土必作蛇的食物。 在我圣山的遍处， 这一切都不伤人，不害物。 这是耶和华说的。
