< Isaiah 2 >
1 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示,論到猶大和耶路撒冷。
2 And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah's house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.
末後的日子,耶和華殿的山必堅立, 超乎諸山,高舉過於萬嶺; 萬民都要流歸這山。
3 And gone have many peoples and said, 'Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
必有許多國的民前往,說: 來吧,我們登耶和華的山, 奔雅各上帝的殿。 主必將他的道教訓我們; 我們也要行他的路。 因為訓誨必出於錫安; 耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。
4 And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more — war.
他必在列國中施行審判, 為許多國民斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犂頭, 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國; 他們也不再學習戰事。
5 O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.'
雅各家啊,來吧! 我們在耶和華的光明中行走。
6 For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.
耶和華,你離棄了你百姓雅各家, 是因他們充滿了東方的風俗, 作觀兆的,像非利士人一樣, 並與外邦人擊掌。
7 And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
他們的國滿了金銀, 財寶也無窮; 他們的地滿了馬匹, 車輛也無數。
8 And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,
他們的地滿了偶像; 他們跪拜自己手所造的, 就是自己指頭所做的。
9 And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.
卑賤人屈膝; 尊貴人下跪; 所以不可饒恕他們。
10 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.
你當進入巖穴,藏在土中, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
11 The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
到那日,眼目高傲的必降為卑; 性情狂傲的都必屈膝; 惟獨耶和華被尊崇。
12 For a day [is] to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
必有萬軍耶和華降罰的一個日子, 要臨到驕傲狂妄的; 一切自高的都必降為卑;
13 And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
又臨到黎巴嫩高大的香柏樹和巴珊的橡樹;
14 And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
又臨到一切高山的峻嶺;
15 And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,
又臨到高臺和堅固城牆;
16 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
又臨到他施的船隻並一切可愛的美物。
17 And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
驕傲的必屈膝; 狂妄的必降卑。 在那日,惟獨耶和華被尊崇;
18 And the idols — they completely pass away.
偶像必全然廢棄。
19 And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
耶和華興起,使地大震動的時候, 人就進入石洞,進入土穴, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
20 In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
到那日,人必將為拜而造的金偶像、銀偶像 拋給田鼠和蝙蝠。
21 To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
到耶和華興起,使地大震動的時候, 人好進入磐石洞中和巖石穴裏, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
22 Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For — in what is he esteemed?
你們休要倚靠世人。 他鼻孔裏不過有氣息; 他在一切事上可算甚麼呢?
