Isaiah 65
1 “I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.
從未求問我的，我要讓他尋求我；從未尋找我的，我要讓他找到我；我對那從未稱呼我名的民族說：「看，我在這裏！我在這裏！」
2 I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
我整天向悖逆的民族，即隨自己的思念走邪辟路的人，伸出我的手。
3 a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;
這民族時常在我面前惹我發怒，在園中獻祭，在磚台上焚香；
4 who sit among the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
他們住在墳墓內，宿在隱密處，吃豬肉，在他們的器皿中都是些不潔之物，
5 who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.
他們還對人說：「站遠點，別靠近我，怕我聖潔了你。」這些事真叫我鼻子冒煙，整日冒火。
6 “Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom
看哪！這一切已在我面前寫定；我決不緘默，我非報復不可。
7 your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says the LORD, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
我要一起報復他們的罪惡和他們祖先的罪惡：上主說。因為他們在山上燒過香，在丘陵上褻謾過我，所以我要量好他們應得的報酬，報應到他們的懷中。
8 The LORD says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.
上主這樣說：「就如當人發現葡萄內尚有酒汁時，就說：不要破壞它，因為裏面還有祝福；我為了我的僕人也要這樣作，不將他們完全消滅。
9 I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell there.
我要使雅各伯生出苗裔，使猶大生出繼承我山的人；我的選民要以她為業，我的僕人要住在那裏。
10 Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
為那尋求我的百姓，沙龍將成為羊群的牧場，阿苛爾山谷為那尋求我的百姓，要成為牛群的棲所。」「
11 “But you who forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
至於你們這些離棄上主，忘記我的聖山，為加得神設宴，給默尼神注滿調和的酒的人，
12 I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
我注定了你們歸於刀下，你們要屈身受戮；因為我喊叫你們，你們沒有回答；我說話，你們不肯聽，反而去行我視為惡的事，揀選我所不喜歡的事。」
13 Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
因此吾主上主這樣說：「你們要看見我的僕人有得吃，你們卻要飢餓；你們看見我的僕人有得喝，你們卻要口渴；你們看見我的僕人喜樂，你們卻要哭泣；
14 Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.
你們看見我的僕人因心中快樂而歡慶，你們卻要因心中憂苦而悲號，因喪氣而哀傷。
15 You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord GOD will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,
你們將留下你們的名給我的選民作咒詞：『吾主上主將如此叫你死！』但是我的僕人要有另一個名字作稱呼。」
16 so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
所以那在地上為自己求福的，要向真實的天主求福；那在地上起誓的，要指著真實的天主起誓，因為先前的苦難都已忘記，從我的眼前隱匿了。
17 “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.
因為，看，我要創造新天新地，先前的不再被記憶，不再被關心。
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, and her people a joy.
人們都要因我所造的而永遠喜悅快樂；因為，看，我要造一座令人喜悅的耶路撒冷，一個令人歡樂的百姓。
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
我要因耶路撒冷而喜悅，因我的百姓而歡欣，其中再聽不到哭泣和哀號的聲音。
20 “No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
那裏再沒有夭折的嬰兒和不滿壽數的老人；百歲死去的人算是青年，凡活不到百歲的人算是被詛咒的。
21 They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
他們要建築房舍，自居其中；種植葡萄，自食其果；
22 They will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.
並不是他們建築而別人來住，他們種植而別人來吃，因為我百姓的壽數有如樹木的年數，我的選民要享用她自己的勞作。
23 They will not labor in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of the LORD’s blessed and their descendants with them.
他們不再徒然勤勞，生子不再受驚，因為他們是上主祝福的苗裔，他們的子孫亦將如此。
24 It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
那時，他們還未呼求，我已答應了；他們還在祈禱，我已俯允了。
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.
豺狼和羔羊將要一齊牧放，獅子要如牛犢一般吃草，塵土將是大蛇的食物；在我的整個聖山上，再沒有誰作惡，也沒有誰害人：上主說。
