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.
素來沒有訪問我的，現在求問我； 沒有尋找我的，我叫他們遇見； 沒有稱為我名下的，我對他們說： 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;
我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓； 他們隨自己的意念行不善之道。
3 a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;
這百姓時常當面惹我發怒； 在園中獻祭， 在壇上燒香；
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;
在墳墓間坐着， 在隱密處住宿， 吃豬肉； 他們器皿中有可憎之物做的湯；
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.
且對人說：你站開吧！ 不要挨近我，因為我比你聖潔。 主說：這些人是我鼻中的煙， 是整天燒着的火。
6 “Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom
看哪，這都寫在我面前。 我必不靜默，必施行報應， 必將你們的罪孽和你們列祖的罪孽， 就是在山上燒香， 在岡上褻瀆我的罪孽， 一同報應在他們後人懷中， 我先要把他們所行的量給他們； 這是耶和華說的。
7 your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says Yahweh, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
8 Yahweh 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.
耶和華如此說：葡萄中尋得新酒， 人就說：不要毀壞， 因為福在其中。 我因我僕人的緣故也必照樣而行， 不將他們全然毀滅。
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.
我必從雅各中領出後裔， 從猶大中領出承受我眾山的。 我的選民必承受； 我的僕人要在那裏居住。
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.
沙崙平原必成為羊群的圈； 亞割谷必成為牛群躺臥之處， 都為尋求我的民所得。
11 “But you who forsake Yahweh, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
但你們這些離棄耶和華、 忘記我的聖山、給時運擺筵席、 給天命盛滿調和酒的，
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.”
我要命定你們歸在刀下， 都必屈身被殺； 因為我呼喚，你們沒有答應； 我說話，你們沒有聽從； 反倒行我眼中看為惡的， 揀選我所不喜悅的。
13 Therefore the Lord Yahweh 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.
所以，主耶和華如此說： 我的僕人必得吃，你們卻飢餓； 我的僕人必得喝，你們卻乾渴； 我的僕人必歡喜，你們卻蒙羞。
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.
我的僕人因心中高興歡呼， 你們卻因心中憂愁哀哭， 又因心裏憂傷哀號。
15 You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord Yahweh will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,
你們必留下自己的名， 為我選民指着賭咒。 主耶和華必殺你們， 另起別名稱呼他的僕人。
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.
這樣，在地上為自己求福的， 必憑真實的上帝求福； 在地上起誓的， 必指真實的上帝起誓。 因為，從前的患難已經忘記， 也從我眼前隱藏了。
17 “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.
看哪！我造新天新地； 從前的事不再被記念，也不再追想。
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.
你們當因我所造的永遠歡喜快樂； 因我造耶路撒冷為人所喜， 造其中的居民為人所樂。
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.
我必因耶路撒冷歡喜， 因我的百姓快樂； 其中必不再聽見哭泣的聲音和哀號的聲音。
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.
其中必沒有數日夭亡的嬰孩， 也沒有壽數不滿的老者； 因為百歲死的仍算孩童， 有百歲死的罪人算被咒詛。
21 They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
他們要建造房屋，自己居住； 栽種葡萄園，吃其中的果子。
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.
他們建造的，別人不得住； 他們栽種的，別人不得吃； 因為我民的日子必像樹木的日子； 我選民親手勞碌得來的必長久享用。
23 They will not labor in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of Yahweh’s blessed and their descendants with them.
他們必不徒然勞碌， 所生產的，也不遭災害， 因為都是蒙耶和華賜福的後裔； 他們的子孫也是如此。
24 It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
他們尚未求告，我就應允； 正說話的時候，我就垂聽。
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 Yahweh.
豺狼必與羊羔同食； 獅子必吃草與牛一樣； 塵土必作蛇的食物。 在我聖山的遍處， 這一切都不傷人，不害物。 這是耶和華說的。
