Isaiah 66
1 This is what Yahweh says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where then is the house you will build for me? Where is the place where I may rest?
耶和華如此說： 天是我的座位； 地是我的腳凳。 你們要為我造何等的殿宇？ 哪裏是我安息的地方呢？
2 My hand has made all these things; that is how these things came to be—this is Yahweh's declaration. This is the man of whom I approve, the broken and contrite in spirit, and who trembles at my word.
耶和華說：這一切都是我手所造的， 所以就都有了。 但我所看顧的， 就是虛心痛悔、 因我話而戰兢的人。
3 He who slaughters an ox also murders a man; he who sacrifices a lamb also breaks a dog's neck; he who offers a grain offering offers swine's blood; he who offers a memorial of incense also blesses wickedness. They have chosen their own ways, and they take pleasure in their abominations.
假冒為善的宰牛，好像殺人， 獻羊羔，好像打折狗項， 獻供物，好像獻豬血， 燒乳香，好像稱頌偶像。 這等人揀選自己的道路， 心裏喜悅行可憎惡的事。
4 In the same way I will choose their own punishment; I will bring on them what they fear, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, no one listened. They did what was evil in my sight, and chose to do what displeases me.”
我也必揀選迷惑他們的事， 使他們所懼怕的臨到他們； 因為我呼喚，無人答應； 我說話，他們不聽從； 反倒行我眼中看為惡的， 揀選我所不喜悅的。
5 Hear the word of Yahweh, you who tremble at his word, “Your brothers who hate and exclude you for my name's sake have said, 'May Yahweh be glorified, then we will see your joy,' but they will be put to shame.
你們因耶和華言語戰兢的人當聽他的話： 你們的弟兄－就是恨惡你們， 因我名趕出你們的，曾說： 願耶和華得榮耀， 使我們得見你們的喜樂； 但蒙羞的究竟是他們！
6 A sound of battle tumult comes from the city, a sound from the temple, the sound of Yahweh paying back his enemies.
有喧嘩的聲音出自城中！ 有聲音出於殿中！ 是耶和華向仇敵施行報應的聲音！
7 Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before pain is upon her, she gave birth to a son.
錫安未曾劬勞就生產， 未覺疼痛就生出男孩。
8 Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Will a land be born in one day? Can a nation be established in one moment? Yet as soon as Zion goes into labor, she gives birth to her children.
國豈能一日而生？ 民豈能一時而產？ 因為錫安一劬勞便生下兒女， 這樣的事誰曾聽見？ 誰曾看見呢？
9 Do I bring a baby to the birth opening and not permit the child to be born?—asks Yahweh. Or do I bring a child to moment of delivery and then hold it back?—asks your God.”
耶和華說：我既使她臨產， 豈不使她生產呢？ 你的上帝說：我既使她生產， 豈能使她閉胎不生呢？
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her, all you who mourned over her!
你們愛慕耶路撒冷的 都要與她一同歡喜快樂； 你們為她悲哀的 都要與她一同樂上加樂；
11 For you will nurse and be satisfied; with her breasts you will be comforted; for you will drink them to the full and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
使你們在她安慰的懷中吃奶得飽， 使他們得她豐盛的榮耀， 猶如擠奶，滿心喜樂。
12 This is what Yahweh says, “I am about to spread prosperity over her like a river, and the riches of the nations like an overflowing stream. You will nurse at her side, be carried in her arms, and be dandled on her knees.
耶和華如此說： 我要使平安延及她，好像江河， 使列國的榮耀延及她，如同漲溢的河。 你們要從中享受； 你們必蒙抱在肋旁，搖弄在膝上。
13 As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you, and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
母親怎樣安慰兒子，我就照樣安慰你們； 你們也必因耶路撒冷得安慰。
14 You will see this, and your heart will rejoice, and your bones will sprout like the tender grass. The hand of Yahweh will be made known to his servants, but he will show his anger against his enemies.
你們看見，就心中快樂； 你們的骨頭必得滋潤像嫩草一樣； 而且耶和華的手向他僕人所行的必被人知道； 他也要向仇敵發惱恨。
15 For look, Yahweh is coming with fire, and his chariots are coming like the windstorm to bring the heat of his anger and his rebuke with flames of fire.
看哪，耶和華必在火中降臨； 他的車輦像旋風， 以烈怒施行報應， 以火焰施行責罰；
16 For Yahweh executes judgment on mankind by fire and with his sword. Those killed by Yahweh will be many.
因為耶和華在一切有血氣的人身上， 必以火與刀施行審判； 被耶和華所殺的必多。
17 They consecrate themselves and make themselves pure, so they may enter the gardens, following the one in the middle of those who eat the flesh of pig and abominable things like mice. “They will come to an end—this is Yahweh's declaration.
「那些分別為聖、潔淨自己的，進入園內跟在其中一個人的後頭，吃豬肉和倉鼠並可憎之物，他們必一同滅絕；這是耶和華說的。
18 For I know their deeds and their thoughts. The time is coming when I will gather all nations and languages. They will come and will see my glory.
「我知道他們的行為和他們的意念。時候將到，我必將萬民萬族聚來，看見我的榮耀，
19 I will set a mighty sign among them. Then I will send survivors from them to the nations: To Tarshish, Put, and Lud, archers who draw their bows, to Tubal, Javan, and to the distant coastlands where they have not heard about me nor seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory among the nations.
我要顯神蹟在他們中間。逃脫的，我要差到列國去，就是到他施、普勒、拉弓的路德和土巴、雅完，並素來沒有聽見我名聲、沒有看見我榮耀遼遠的海島；他們必將我的榮耀傳揚在列國中。
20 They will bring back all your brothers out of all the nations, as an offering to Yahweh. They will come on horses, and in chariots, in wagons, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem—says Yahweh. For the people of Israel will bring a grain offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh.
他們必將你們的弟兄從列國中送回，使他們或騎馬，或坐車，坐轎，騎騾子，騎獨峰駝，到我的聖山耶路撒冷，作為供物獻給耶和華，好像以色列人用潔淨的器皿盛供物奉到耶和華的殿中；這是耶和華說的。
21 Some of these I will even choose as priests and Levites—says Yahweh.
耶和華說：我也必從他們中間取人為祭司，為利未人。」
22 For just as the new heavens and the new earth that I will make will remain before me—this is Yahweh's declaration—so your descendants will remain, and your name will remain.
耶和華說：我所要造的新天新地， 怎樣在我面前長存； 你們的後裔和你們的名字也必照樣長存。
23 From one month to the next, and from one Sabbath to the next, all people will come to bow down to me—says Yahweh.
每逢月朔、安息日， 凡有血氣的必來在我面前下拜。 這是耶和華說的。
24 They will go out and see the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against me, for the worms that eat them will not die, and the fire that consumes them will not be quenched; and it will be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
他們必出去觀看那些違背我人的屍首； 因為他們的蟲是不死的； 他們的火是不滅的； 凡有血氣的都必憎惡他們。
