Isaiah |
| 1那一天，猶大地要詠唱這首歌曲：「我們有座堅城，以救援作城牆與外郭。 |
1On that day they will sing this song in the land of Judah: "A strong city have we; he sets up walls and ramparts to protect us. |
| 2你們打開城門，好讓遵守信實的正義民族進去。 |
2Open up the gates to let in a nation that is just, one that keeps faith. |
| 3你的意志堅定，因而你保全了永久的和平，故此人對你有信賴。 |
3A nation of firm purpose you keep in peace; in peace, for its trust in you." |
| 4你們應永遠信賴上主，因為上主是永固的磐石。 |
4Trust in the LORD forever! For the LORD is an eternal Rock. |
| 5他曾屈服了居高位的人，推翻了高聳的城市，將她推翻在地，使她粉碎，化為塵埃。 |
5He humbles those in high places, and the lofty city he brings down; He tumbles it to the ground, levels it with the dust. |
| 6踐踏她的，卻是困苦人的腳，是貧窮人的腳。」 |
6It is trampled underfoot by the needy, by the footsteps of the poor. |
| 7義人的道路是正直的，你上主啊，削平了正直人的途徑。 |
7The way of the just is smooth; the path of the just you make level. |
| 8的確，上主！我們在你正義的路上期待你！你的名號，你的記念，是我們心靈的欲望。 |
8Yes, for your way and your judgments, O LORD, we look to you; Your name and your title are the desire of our souls. |
| 9我們的心靈在夜間渴望你，我們的心神在清晨尋覓你，因為當你的決斷顯於大地時，世上的居民都要學習正義。 |
9My soul yearns for you in the night, yes, my spirit within me keeps vigil for you; When your judgment dawns upon the earth, the world's inhabitants learn justice. |
| 10惡人雖然蒙受了憐憫，仍然不學習正義，在世上依然顛倒是非，毫不顧及上主的威嚴。 |
10The wicked man, spared, does not learn justice; in an upright land he acts perversely, and sees not the majesty of the LORD. |
| 11上主！你的手雖已高舉，但他們仍看不見；願他們見到你對百姓的熱忱而感到慚愧；並願你為你仇敵所保留的烈火吞滅他們！ |
11O LORD, your hand is uplifted, but they behold it not; Let them be shamed when they see your zeal for your people: let the fire prepared for your enemies consume them. |
| 12上主！是你賜與了我們和平，因為凡我們所做的，都是你為我們成就的！ |
12O LORD, you mete out peace to us, for it is you who have accomplished all we have done. |
| 13上主，我們的天主！除你以外，還有別的主宰治理過我們；然而我們所稱揚的，只有你，你的名號。 |
13O LORD, our God, other lords than you have ruled us; it is from you only that we can call upon your name. |
| 14死去的人不會再活，幽魂也不會復生，因為你如此懲罰了，並消滅了他們，使他們所有的記念盡被遺忘。 |
14Dead they are, they have no life, shades that cannot rise; For you have punished and destroyed them, and wiped out all memory of them. |
| 15你增加了本國的人民，上主，你增加了本國的人民，你得了光榮，你拓展了國家所有的邊界。 |
15You have increased the nation, O LORD, increased the nation to your own glory, and extended far all the borders of the land. |
| 16上主！我們在困難之中尋求了你，我們在壓迫之中呼求了你，因為那是你對我們的懲罰。 |
16O LORD, oppressed by your punishment, we cried out in anguish under your chastising. |
| 17有如懷妊臨產的婦女，在苦痛中痙攣呻吟；同樣，上主！我們在你面前也是如此： |
17As a woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pains, so were we in your presence, O LORD. |
| 18我們也像懷妊痙攣；然而所產的竟是風，沒有給大地帶來救恩，世界的居民也未因此而得生。 |
18We conceived and writhed in pain, giving birth to wind; Salvation we have not achieved for the earth, the inhabitants of the world cannot bring it forth. |
| 19你的亡者將再生，他們的屍體將要起立；睡在塵埃中的人們都要甦醒歌詠，因為你的朝露是晶瑩的朝露，大地將拋出幽靈。 |
19 But your dead shall live, their corpses shall rise; awake and sing, you who lie in the dust. For your dew is a dew of light, and the land of shades gives birth. |
| 20我的百姓！去，進入你的內室，關上門，隱藏片刻，等待盛怒過去。 |
20Go, my people, enter your chambers, and close your doors behind you; Hide yourselves for a brief moment, until the wrath is past. |
| 21因為，看哪！上主已由自己的地方出來懲罰大地居民的罪惡，大地要暴露自己吞下的鮮血，不再遮掩被殺的人。 |
21See, the LORD goes forth from his place, to punish the wickedness of the earth's inhabitants; The earth will reveal the blood upon her, and no longer conceal her slain. |
