Isaiah:Chapter 28

依撒意亞	Isaiah
¹禍哉，那為酒灌倒的厄弗辣因醉漢所驕矜的冠冕！禍哉，那生於肥谷之巔作她美飾的殘花！	¹Woe to the drunkards of Ephraim proudly adorned, to that fading flower of luxurious beauty on the head of a rich valley - all are dizzy with wine.
²看哪！吾主興起一位強有力者，有如帶冰雹的暴雨，又如摧毀性的狂風，和漲溢氾濫的大水，猛力將一切拋落地上。	²Look, the Lord is sending a powerful and strong one. Like a downpour of hail, like a destructive tempest, like flooding water in torrential rain, he will cast it down to the ground -
³厄弗辣因醉漢所驕矜的冠冕，必被人踏在腳下；	³that proud ornament of the drunkards of Ephraim. He will trample it underfoot -
⁴生於肥谷之巔作她美飾的殘花，將如夏季前早熟的無花果，人一見到便伸手摘取吞下。	⁴that fading flower of glorious beauty on the head of a rich valley. It will be like an early fruit which ripened before summer: as soon as someone sees it he picks it, and while it is yet in his hand he eats it.
⁵到那一天，萬軍的上主將親作他殘餘的百姓的榮冠和華冕；	⁵On that day, Yahweh Sabaoth will be a glorious ornament, a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people.
⁶他將是坐堂判案者的公義之神，將是城門前禦敵者的力量。	⁶He will be a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, a source of strength to those who turn back the enemies at the gate.
⁷連這些人也因清酒而搖晃，因濃酒而蹣跚；他們在異象中搖晃，在審斷時暈眩。	⁷But they also have erred through wine, reeling and stumbling from strong drink. Priests and prophets stagger, befuddled with wine, reeling when seeing visions, stumbling when rendering decisions.
⁸一切筵席上都滿了嘔吐，沒有一處不是垢物。	⁸All the tables are full of vomit; there is not a spot without filth.
⁹他要將智識授給誰呢？向誰解釋啟示呢？是向方才斷乳和剛離母懷的嬰兒嗎？	⁹"Who does he think he is teaching? Who does he think listens to him? Babies just weaned from their mother's milk? Babies just taken from their mother's breast?
¹⁰這只是些「命上加命，命上加命，令上加令，令上加令，這裏一點，那裏一點！」	¹⁰Who cares to hear his 'Keep quiet, keep quiet! Wait a little, wait a little!'
¹¹是的，上主要用口吃的唇，異人的舌，向這民族說話！	¹¹Yes, surely with stammering lips and in a strange tongue, he will talk to this nation,
¹²雖然他曾對他們說過：「這就是安息的地方，讓困倦的人安息罷！這就是休養的處所。」可惜他們總不肯聽從。	¹²he who once said to them, "This is rest, give rest to the weary"; and, "This is repose." But they would not listen.
¹³因此上主的話對他們真成了「命上加命，命上加命，令上加令，令上加令，這裏一點，那裏一點」，致使他們雖然前行，卻向後仰倒而跌傷，陷於圈套而被擄獲。	¹³That is why Yahweh now says: Keep quiet, keep quiet! Wait a little, wait a little! So that when they have to go forward, they will instead fall backward; they will be injured and snared and taken captive.
¹⁴為此，你們這些在耶路撒冷統治這民族的好嘲弄的人，聽上主的話罷！	¹⁴Therefore, listen to the word of Yahweh, you scoffers who rule these people of Jerusalem.
¹⁵你們曾說過：「我們與死亡訂了盟，與陰府結了約，當狂怒的刑鞭經過時，不會落在我們身上，因為我們有欺詐作我們的遮掩，有虛偽作我們的庇護。」	¹⁵Because you make a boast, "We have made a covenant with death, we have made a pact with the netherworld. When the flood passes by it cannot harm us, for we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place."
¹⁶因此吾主上主這樣說：「看，我要在熙雍安放一塊石頭，一塊精選的石頭，一塊寶貴的角石作基礎，信賴的人必不動搖。	¹⁶Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: See, I lay in Zion a granite stone, a precious stone, a sure foundation; he who relies on it shall not be put to shame.
¹⁷我要以公平為準繩，以正義為權衡；冰雹將蕩盡欺詐的遮掩地，洪流將沖散虛偽的庇護所。	¹⁷I will make justice the measure and righteousness the plumb line. Violent hail will sweep away your refuge of lies and raging waters will overflow your hiding place.
¹⁸你們與死亡所訂的盟必要廢除，與陰府所結的約必不持久；當狂怒的刑鞭經過時，你們必被蹂躪；	¹⁸Your covenant with death will not stand, your pact with the netherworld will be annulled. When the overwhelming flood passes, you will be crushed by it.
¹⁹每次經過，每次必要打擊你們；他每朝經過，白日黑夜也經過；惟有恐怖方能使你們明白這啟示。」	¹⁹Morning after morning, by day and by night, the scourge will seize and crush you. If you understood this message, you would be terrified.
²⁰真是伸直身子床太短，縮作一團被又窄。	²⁰"The bed will be too short to stretch out on, the blanket too narrow to wrap around you."
²¹因為上主要興起，如在培辣親山上一樣；要發怒，如在基貝紅山谷一樣，為履行他的工作──他神妙的工作，為完成他的事業──他奇異的事業。	²¹Yahweh will arise as on Mount Perazim, he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to work his work - his singular work; to do his deed - his strange deed.
²²所以現在不要再嘲笑了，免得你們的繩索繫得更緊，因為我聽到的有關毀滅大地的決議，是來自吾主萬軍的上主。	²²Put an end to your mocking, or your bonds will be tightened, for I have heard the destruction decreed against the whole earth by the Lord Yahweh Sabaoth.
²³請你們側耳靜聽我的聲音，請留意傾聽我的言語：	²³Listen to my words, pay attention and understand what I say.
²⁴耕田的人那有整日耕田，掘土耙地的呢？	²⁴Does the plowman do nothing but plow, loosen the earth, pulverize the clods with a harrow?
²⁵當他把地弄平了以後，不是要撒上小茴香，播種大茴香，種植大麥和小麥，地邊種玉蜀黍嗎？	²⁵After leveling the soil, does he not begin to sow caraway and scatter cumin, wheat and barley and put spelt as the border?
²⁶這是上主教給他的方式，他的天主指示他的。	²⁶For his God instructs him on what to do, he gives him guidance and discretion, too.
²⁷打小茴香不須用釘耙，打大茴香不須用碾機，而是用木棒打小茴香，用棍子打大茴香。	²⁷For caraway is not threshed nor cumin crushed, but caraway is beaten with a stick and cumin with a rod.
²⁸五穀豈是要輾碎的嗎？不是！人並不將它無限期地壓了又壓，而是叫碾機滾過，碾出穀粒來，並不是為碾碎它。	²⁸Is the wheat milled on the threshing floor? Is it threshed without end? They put in movement chariot and horses but do not grind it.
²⁹這也是出自萬軍的上主：他的計劃真是神奇，他的智慧真是超絕。	²⁹All comes from Yahweh Sabaoth whose advice is excellent, whose wisdom is wonderful.
