Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
義人死亡， 無人放在心上； 虔誠人被收去， 無人思念。 這義人被收去是免了將來的禍患；
2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.
他們得享平安。 素行正直的，各人在墳裏安歇。
3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the lewd.
你們這些巫婆的兒子， 姦夫和妓女的種子， 都要前來！
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, [and] thrust out the tongue? [are] ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
你們向誰戲笑？ 向誰張口吐舌呢？ 你們豈不是悖逆的兒女， 虛謊的種類呢？
5 Inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the cliffs of the rocks?
你們在橡樹中間，在各青翠樹下慾火攻心； 在山谷間，在石穴下殺了兒女；
6 Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered a meat-offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
在谷中光滑石頭裏有你的分。 這些就是你所得的分； 你也向他澆了奠祭，獻了供物， 因這事我豈能容忍嗎？
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither thou wentest up to offer sacrifice.
你在高而又高的山上安設床榻， 也上那裏去獻祭。
8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast uncovered [thyself to another] than me, and hast gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it].
你在門後，在門框後， 立起你的紀念； 向外人赤露，又上去擴張床榻， 與他們立約； 你在那裏看見他們的床就甚喜愛。
9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase [thyself even] to hell. (Sheol h7585)
你把油帶到王那裏， 又多加香料， 打發使者往遠方去， 自卑自賤直到陰間， (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; [yet] saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thy hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
你因路遠疲倦， 卻不說這是枉然； 你以為有復興之力， 所以不覺疲憊。
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
你怕誰？因誰恐懼？ 竟說謊，不記念我， 又不將這事放在心上。 我不是許久閉口不言， 你仍不怕我嗎？
12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
我要指明你的公義； 至於你所行的都必與你無益。
13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them]: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
你哀求的時候， 讓你所聚集的拯救你吧！ 風要把他們颳散， 一口氣要把他們都吹去。 但那投靠我的必得地土， 必承受我的聖山為業。
14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
耶和華要說： 你們修築修築，預備道路， 將絆腳石從我百姓的路中除掉。
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
因為那至高至上、永遠長存 名為聖者的如此說： 我住在至高至聖的所在， 也與心靈痛悔謙卑的人同居； 要使謙卑人的靈甦醒， 也使痛悔人的心甦醒。
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit would fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
我必不永遠相爭，也不長久發怒， 恐怕我所造的人與靈性都必發昏。
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
因他貪婪的罪孽，我就發怒擊打他； 我向他掩面發怒， 他卻仍然隨心背道。
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
我看見他所行的道，也要醫治他； 又要引導他， 使他和那一同傷心的人再得安慰。
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
我造就嘴唇的果子； 願平安康泰歸與遠處的人， 也歸與近處的人； 並且我要醫治他。 這是耶和華說的。
20 But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
惟獨惡人，好像翻騰的海， 不得平靜； 其中的水常湧出污穢和淤泥來。
21 [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
我的上帝說：惡人必不得平安！
