Isaiah:Chapter 1

依撒意亞	Isaiah
¹在烏齊雅、約堂、阿哈次和希則克雅為猶大王時，阿摩茲的兒子依撒意亞，關於猶大和耶路撒冷所見的異象如下：	¹This is what Isaiah son of Amoz foretold concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
²諸天，請諦聽！大地，請側耳！因為上主有話說：「我把孩子撫養長大，他們竟背叛了我！	²Listen, O heavens! Give heed, O earth! for the Lord speaks: "I raised children, I brought them up, but they have risen against me.
³牛認識自己的主人，驢也認識自己主人的槽，以色列卻毫不知情，我的百姓卻一點不懂。」	³The ox knows its master and the ass its owner's manger, but Israel does not know me, my people do not understand.
⁴禍哉，犯罪的民族，惡貫滿盈的百姓，作惡的後裔，敗壞的子孫！他們離棄了上主，蔑視了以色列的聖者，轉身背棄了他。	⁴A sinful nation, a people weighed down with iniquity, a wicked race, perverted children! They have turned away from Yahweh and despised the Holy One of Israel.
⁵你們為什麼還繼續叛逆，再遭受打擊呢？整個頭已患了病，整個心已經憔悴；	⁵Shall I strike you again and again; people always rebelling, Your whole head is diseased and your heart also afflicted.
⁶從腳掌直到頭頂已體無完膚，盡是創痍、傷痕和新的傷口；沒有擠淨，沒有包紮，也沒有軟膏滋潤。	⁶From the soles of your feet to the top of your head - all is wounds and bruises, sores uncleaned and unbound, not eased with soothing ointment.
⁷你們的地區變成荒蕪，你們的城市被火燒盡，你們面前的莊田被異民吞併，變成一片荒涼，宛如索多瑪的廢墟，	⁷Your country lies desolate, your cities razed by fire. Aliens have devoured the harvest before your very eyes, and you were left in ruins.
⁸僅存的熙雍女兒，有如葡萄園裏的茅舍，胡瓜園中的草廬，被圍困着的城市。	⁸The Daughter of Zion is left like a shanty in a vineyard, like a hut in a melon field, like a hamleted town.
⁹若非萬軍的上主給我們留下些許殘餘，我們早已如同索多瑪，相似哈摩辣了。	⁹Had not Yahweh of hosts left us a small remnant, we would resemble Sodom, we would be like Gomorrah.
¹⁰索多瑪的統治者，請聽上主的話！哈摩辣的百姓，請聽天主的訓示：	¹⁰Hear the warning of Yahweh, rulers of Sodom. Listen to the word of God, people of Gomorrah.
¹¹「你們為什麼向我奉獻那麼多的犧牲──上主說：我已飽饜了公羊的燔祭和肥犢的脂膏；牛犢、羔羊和山羊的血我已不喜歡；	¹¹"What do I care," says Yahweh "for your endless sacrifices? I am fed up with your burnt offerings, and the fat of your bulls. The blood of fatlings, and lambs and he-goats I abhor.
¹²你們來見我的面時，誰向你們要求了這些東西？這簡直是蹂躪我的殿院。	¹²When you come before me and trample on my courts, who asked you to visit me?
¹³不要再奉獻無謂的祭品！馨香已為我所憎惡；月朔、安息日、集會、齋戒和盛大的宴會，我已都不能容受。	¹³I am fed up with your oblations. I grow sick with your incense. Your New Moons, Sabbaths and meetings, evil with holy assemblies, I can no longer bear.
¹⁴我的心痛恨你們的月朔和你們的慶節，它們為我是種累贅，使我忍無可忍。	¹⁴I hate your New Moons and appointed feasts they burden me.
¹⁵你們伸出手時，我必掩目不看；你們行大祈禱時，我決不俯聽，因為你們的手染滿了血！	¹⁵When you stretch out your hands I will close my eyes; the more you pray, the more I refuse to listen, for your hands are bloody.
¹⁶你們應該洗滌，應該自潔，從我眼前革除你們的惡行，停止作孽，	¹⁶Wash and make yourselves clean. Remove from my sight the evil of your deeds. Put an end to your wickedness
¹⁷學習行善，尋求正義，責斥壓迫人的人，為孤兒伸冤，為寡婦辯護。	¹⁷and learn to do good. Seek justice and keep in line the abusers; give the fatherless their rights and defend the widow."
¹⁸現在你們來，讓我們互相辯論──上主說：你們的罪雖似朱紅，將變成雪一樣的潔白；雖紅得發紫，仍能變成羊毛一樣的皎潔。	¹⁸"Come," says the Lord, "let us reason together. Though your sins be like scarlet, they will be white as snow; though they be as crimson red, they will be white as wool.
¹⁹假使你們樂意服從，你們將享用地上的美物；	¹⁹If you will obey me, you will eat the goods of the earth;
²⁰假使你們拒絕反抗，你們將為刀劍所吞滅。」這是上主親口說的。	²⁰but if you resist and rebel, the sword will eat you instead." Truly the Lord has spoken.
²¹忠貞的城邑，怎麼變成了蕩婦！昔日充滿着正義，寄居着公平的，現今卻住滿了謀殺的兇手！	²¹Zion, the faithful city, has become a harlot! She who abounded in justice, in whom righteousness lodged, has become a hideout of murderers!
²²你的銀子變成了渣滓，你的美酒攙和了水份；	²²Your silver has turned to dross, your best wine thinned with water.
²³你的首領謀反作亂，成了盜賊的幫兇；他們都愛好賄賂，索取報酬，不為孤兒伸冤，不受理寡婦的訴訟。	²³Your rulers are tyrants, partners of thieves. They love a bribe and look around for gifts. No one protects the orphan, or listens to the claim of the widow.
²⁴因此吾主，萬軍的上主，以色列的大能者說：「哎！我必向我的敵人雪恨，我必向我的仇人復仇。	²⁴This is why the Lord speaks, Yahweh Sabaoth, the Mighty One of Israel: "I will subdue my foes and exact payment from my enemies.
²⁵我必向你伸出我的手，用爐火煉盡你的渣滓，除去你所有的鉛錫。	²⁵I will turn my hand against you, I will smelt away your dross and remove your impurities.
²⁶我要使你的民長復興如初；使你的參謀恢復如初；以後你將被稱為正義的城市，忠貞的城邑。」	²⁶I will restore your judges, I will give back your counselors, as it was in the beginning. Then you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City."
²⁷熙雍將因正直獲得救贖，她的居民將因正義蒙受救恩；	²⁷The deliverance of Zion will be like a judgment there will be a remnant: the just ones.
²⁸然而惡人和罪人必將一同滅亡，背棄上主的人必要滅絕。	²⁸But rebels and sinners alike will be destroyed, and those who desert the Lord will likewise perish.
²⁹你們必因你們所喜愛的橡樹而蒙羞，必因你們所選擇的花園而慚愧；	²⁹Yes, you will be ashamed of your sacred oaks which have given you delight; you will blush for your gardens which you have chosen.
³⁰你們將變成一棵落葉的橡樹，一座無水的花園。	³⁰You will be like an oak, the leaves of which wither, and like a garden which runs out of water.
³¹強者將似麻絮，他的工作猶如火花：二者必要同時焚燒，無人予以熄滅。	³¹The strongman will be as tinder and all his work a spark: both will burn together and no one will quench the fire.
