Isaiah 30
1 Woe [to] apostate sons, The affirmation of Jehovah! To do counsel, and not from Me, And to spread out a covering, and not of My spirit, So as to add sin to sin.
耶和華說： 禍哉！這悖逆的兒女。 他們同謀，卻不由於我， 結盟，卻不由於我的靈， 以致罪上加罪；
2 Who are walking to go down to Egypt, And My mouth have not asked, To be strong in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt.
起身下埃及去，並沒有求問我； 要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量， 並投在埃及的蔭下。
3 And the strength of Pharaoh Hath been to you for shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion,
所以，法老的力量必作你們的羞辱； 投在埃及的蔭下，要為你們的慚愧。
4 For in Zoan were his princes, And his messengers reach Hanes.
他們的首領已在瑣安； 他們的使臣到了哈內斯。
5 All he made ashamed of a people that profit not, Neither for help, not for profit, But for shame, and also for reproach!
他們必因那不利於他們的民蒙羞。 那民並非幫助，也非利益， 只作羞恥凌辱。
6 The burden of the beasts of the south. Into a land of adversity and distress, Of young lion and of old lion, Whence [are] viper and flying saraph, They carry on the shoulder of asses their wealth, And on the hump of camels their treasures, Unto a people not profitable.
論南方牲畜的默示： 他們把財物馱在驢駒的脊背上， 將寶物馱在駱駝的肉鞍上， 經過艱難困苦之地， 就是公獅、母獅、蝮蛇、火焰的飛龍之地， 往那不利於他們的民那裏去。
7 Yea, Egyptians [are] vanity, and in vain do help, Therefore I have cried concerning this: 'Their strength [is] to sit still.'
埃及的幫助是徒然無益的； 所以我稱她為「坐而不動的拉哈伯」。
8 No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And on a book engrave it, And it is for a latter day, for a witness unto the age,
現今你去， 在他們面前將這話刻在版上， 寫在書上， 以便傳留後世，直到永永遠遠。
9 That a rebellious people [is] this, sons — liars, Sons not willing to hear the law of Jehovah.
因為他們是悖逆的百姓、說謊的兒女， 不肯聽從耶和華訓誨的兒女。
10 Who have said to seers, 'Ye do not see,' And to prophets, 'Ye do not prophesy to us Straightforward things, Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,
他們對先見說：不要望見不吉利的事， 對先知說：不要向我們講正直的話； 要向我們說柔和的話， 言虛幻的事。
11 Turn aside from the way, decline from the path, Cause to cease from before us the Holy One of Israel.'
你們要離棄正道，偏離直路， 不要在我們面前再提說以色列的聖者。
12 Therefore, thus said the Holy One of Israel, Because of your kicking against this word, And ye trust in oppression, And perverseness, and rely on it,
所以，以色列的聖者如此說： 因為你們藐視這訓誨的話， 倚賴欺壓和乖僻，以此為可靠的，
13 Therefore is this iniquity to you as a breach falling, Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction suddenly, at an instant cometh.
故此，這罪孽在你們身上， 好像將要破裂凸出來的高牆， 頃刻之間忽然坍塌；
14 And He hath broken it As the breaking of the potters' bottle, Beaten down — He doth not spare, Nor is there found, in its beating down, A potsherd to take fire from the burning, And to draw out waters from a ditch.
要被打碎，好像把窯匠的瓦器打碎， 毫不顧惜， 甚至碎塊中找不到一片可用以從爐內取火， 從池中舀水。
15 For thus said the Lord Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel: 'In returning and rest ye are saved, In keeping quiet and in confidence is your might, And ye have not been willing.
主耶和華－以色列的聖者曾如此說： 你們得救在乎歸回安息； 你們得力在乎平靜安穩； 你們竟自不肯。
16 And ye say, No, for on a horse we flee? Therefore ye flee, And on the swift we ride! Therefore swift are your pursuers.
你們卻說：不然，我們要騎馬奔走。 所以你們必然奔走； 又說：我們要騎飛快的牲口。 所以追趕你們的，也必飛快。
17 One thousand because of the rebuke of one, Because of the rebuke of five ye flee, Till ye have been surely left as a pole On the top of the mountain, And as an ensign on the height.
一人叱喝，必令千人逃跑； 五人叱喝，你們都必逃跑； 以致剩下的，好像山頂的旗杆， 岡上的大旗。
18 And therefore doth wait Jehovah to favour you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For a God of judgment [is] Jehovah, O the blessedness of all waiting for Him.
耶和華必然等候，要施恩給你們； 必然興起，好憐憫你們。 因為耶和華是公平的上帝； 凡等候他的都是有福的！
19 For the people in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Weep thou not, weeping, Pitying, He pitieth thee at the voice of thy cry, When He heareth He answereth thee.
百姓必在錫安、在耶路撒冷居住；你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的聲音施恩給你；他聽見的時候就必應允你。
20 And the Lord hath given to you bread of adversity, And water of oppression. And thy directors remove no more, And thine eyes have seen thy directors,
主雖然以艱難給你當餅，以困苦給你當水，你的教師卻不再隱藏；你眼必看見你的教師。
21 And thine ear heareth a word behind thee, Saying, 'This [is] the way, go ye in it,' When ye turn to the right, And when ye turn to the left.
你或向左或向右，你必聽見後邊有聲音說：「這是正路，要行在其間。」
22 And ye have defiled the covering of Thy graven images of silver, And the ephod of thy molten image of gold, Thou scatterest them as a sickening thing, 'Go out,' thou sayest to it.
你雕刻偶像所包的銀子和鑄造偶像所鍍的金子，你要玷污，要拋棄，好像污穢之物，對偶像說：「去吧！」
23 And He hath given rain [for] thy seed, With which thou dost sow the ground, And bread, the increase of the ground, And it hath been fat and plenteous, Enjoy do thy cattle in that day an enlarged pasture.
你將種子撒在地裏，主必降雨在其上，並使地所出的糧肥美豐盛。到那時，你的牲畜必在寬闊的草場吃草。
24 And the oxen and the young asses serving the ground, Fermented provender do eat, That one is winnowing with shovel and fan.
耕地的牛和驢駒必吃加鹽的料；這料是用木杴和杈子揚淨的。
25 And there hath been on every high mount, And on every exalted hill, Rivulets — streams of waters, In a day of much slaughter, in the falling of towers.
在大行殺戮的日子，高臺倒塌的時候，各高山岡陵必有川流河湧。
26 And the light of the moon hath been as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun is sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day of Jehovah's binding up the breach of His people, When the stroke of its wound He healeth.
當耶和華纏裹他百姓的損處，醫治他民鞭傷的日子，月光必像日光，日光必加七倍，像七日的光一樣。
27 Lo, the name of Jehovah is coming from far, Burning is His anger, and great the flame, His lips have been full of indignation, And His tongue [is] as a devouring fire.
看哪，耶和華的名從遠方來， 怒氣燒起，密煙上騰。 他的嘴唇滿有忿恨； 他的舌頭像吞滅的火。
28 And His breath [is] as an overflowing stream, Unto the neck it divideth, To sift nations with a sieve of vanity, And a bridle causing to err, [Is] on the jaws of the peoples.
他的氣如漲溢的河水，直漲到頸項， 要用毀滅的篩籮篩淨列國， 並且在眾民的口中必有使人錯行的嚼環。
29 Singing is to you as in a night sanctified for a festival, And joy of heart as he who is going with a pipe, To go in to the mountain of Jehovah, Unto the rock of Israel.
你們必唱歌，像守聖節的夜間一樣，並且心中喜樂，像人吹笛，上耶和華的山，到以色列的磐石那裏。
30 And caused to be heard hath Jehovah The honour of His voice, And the coming down of His arm He doth shew with the raging of anger, And the flame of a consuming fire, Scattering, and inundation, and hailstone.
耶和華必使人聽他威嚴的聲音，又顯他降罰的膀臂和他怒中的忿恨，並吞滅的火焰與霹雷、暴風、冰雹。
31 For from the voice of Jehovah broken down [is] Asshur, With a rod He smiteth.
亞述人必因耶和華的聲音驚惶；耶和華必用杖擊打他。
32 And every passage of the settled staff, That Jehovah causeth to rest on him, Hath been with tabrets, and with harps, And in battles of shaking he hath fought with it.
耶和華必將命定的杖加在他身上；每打一下，人必擊鼓彈琴。打仗的時候，耶和華必掄起手來，與他交戰。
33 For, arranged from former time is Tophet, Even it for the king is prepared, He hath made deep, He hath made large, Its pile [is] fire and much wood, The breath of Jehovah, As a stream of brim stone, is burning in it!
原來陀斐特又深又寬，早已為王預備好了；其中堆的是火與許多木柴。耶和華的氣如一股硫磺火使他着起來。
