依撒依亚:Chapter 59

依撒依亚	Isaiah
¹看哪！并非上主的手短小而不能施救，并非他的耳朵沉重而不能听见；	¹Yahweh's arm is not too short to save nor his ear too dull to hear.
²而是你们的罪孽，使你们与你们的天主隔绝；是你们的罪恶，使他掩面不肯俯听你们，	²It is your sins, rather, that separate you from God. It is your iniquities that veil his face, so that he does not hear you.
³因为你们的手沾满了血，你们的手指沾满了罪恶；你们的口唇说了谎言，你们的舌头吐出了恶语。	³For your hands are blood-stained, your fingers blotted with crimes; your lips have spoken lies, your tongues have uttered deceit.
⁴没有人按正义起诉，没有人照公正行审；都依赖虚无讲说空话，孕育着诡诈，产生邪恶。	⁴No one fights for a right cause; no one makes a truthful plea. They all tell lies and rely on vanity; they conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
⁵他们所孵化的是毒蛇的蛋，他们所纺织的是蜘蛛的网；谁吃了这些蛋，必定要死；蛋若破了，出来的是条毒蛇。	⁵They hatch vipers' eggs and weave spiders' webs. Whoever eats their eggs dies; and from an egg that is crushed a venomous snake is hatched.
⁶他们结的蛛网不能制作衣服，他们的手工不能遮盖自己；他们的作为都是罪恶的作为，他们手中只有欺压的行为。	⁶Their thread gives useless cloth; their works are of help to no one. Their plans are evil plots executed in deeds of violence.
⁷他们的脚趋向邪恶，急于倾流无辜者的血；他们的思念都是邪恶的思念，在他们的行径上只有蹂躏与毁灭。	⁷Their feet rush to do evil; they are quick to shed innocent blood. Their minds are full of wicked thoughts, leaving in their wake ruin and havoc.
⁸和平的道路他们不认识，他们的行径中决无公正；他们弯曲了自己的途径，凡在上面行走的，必不认识和平。	⁸They do not know the way of peace; from them no one can expect justice. They have made their roads tricky and crooked so that he who follows them is lost or waylaid.
⁹因此公平远离了我们，正义不与我们接近，我们寻求光明，看！仍是黑暗；希望光亮，仍在幽暗中徘徊。	⁹So, far away from us lies justice, and beyond reach is righteousness. We look for light but behold darkness; we long for brightness but walk in gloom.
¹⁰我们摸索着墙壁，好像瞎子；我们摸索，有如无眼的人；我们在正午颠仆，有如处于黄昏；我们在健壮人中，却如死人。	¹⁰Like the blind we grope for the wall, like those without eyes we feel our way. We stumble at noon as at twilight; we are dead in the midst of our sins.
¹¹我们一起号叫，有如狗熊；呻吟哀鸣，宛如鸽子；我们寻求公平，却没有公平；寻找救恩，救恩却远离了我们，	¹¹We are like bears that growl; we are like doves that moan. We look for justice and find none; we wait for salvation that never comes.
¹²因为我们的悖逆在你面前太多了，我们的罪过作证反对我们，因为我们的悖逆都摆在我们面前，我们认清了我们的罪过：	¹²For our offenses before you are many, and our sins bear witness against us. We acknowledge our offenses; we know all our iniquities.
¹³背叛和否认上主，转背离开我们的天主，说欺骗与反叛的话，从心中说出虚妄的言语；	¹³Yes, we have betrayed and deceived Yahweh, turning away from following our God. We have planned violence and rebellion; we have thought and murmured lies.
¹⁴因此公平被制止，正义立在远处，真诚在街市上仆倒于地，正道不得进入。	¹⁴Justice has been withheld, righteousness stands aloof, for truth has fallen in the public square and integrity is not allowed to enter.
¹⁵真诚消逝了，避恶的人已荡然无存。上主见了，实在不悦，因为一点正直也没有了；	¹⁵There is no sincerity nor honesty. The man who turns from evil is despoiled. Yahweh has seen this and is aggrieved that justice does not exist.
¹⁶他看不见一个人，他诧异连一个调停者也没有了，遂以自己的手臂来施救，以自己的正义来扶持。	¹⁶Appalled at seeing none would intervene, his own arm brought about the victory, his justice giving him its support.
¹⁷他身穿正义作铠甲，头戴救恩作钢盔，身佩复仇作衣服，外披妒恨作外氅。	¹⁷He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a helmet upon his head. He wrapped himself in garments of vengeance and put on a mantle of fury.
¹⁸他要按照各人的行为施行报复，向他的敌人发怒，向他的仇人复仇【也向群岛施行报应。】	¹⁸To each he will pay his due - wrath to his enemy, reprisal to his foe.
¹⁹西方的人要看见上主的名号，东方的人要看见他的荣耀，因为他要来临，好似被强烈的风催促的急流。	¹⁹Those in the west will hear the name of Yahweh; those in the east will see his glory. For it will come like a pent-up stream driven by the breath of Yahweh.
²⁰拯救者必要临于熙雍，临于雅各伯家中的弃邪归依者：上主的断语。	²⁰But to Zion he will come as redeemer, and to those of Jacob who turn from sin. This is Yahweh speaking.
²¹至于我──上主说──这是我与他们所立的盟约：我在你身上所赋的神，我在你口中所放的话，总不离开你的口和你子孙的口，以及你子子孙孙的口，上主说，从现今直到永远。	²¹For my part, this is my covenant with them, says Yahweh. My spirit which I have poured out on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will never leave you, nor your children, nor your children's children forever and ever.
