以賽亞書 8
1 耶和華對我說：「你取一個大牌，拿人所用的筆，寫上『瑪黑珥‧沙拉勒‧哈施‧罷斯』。
Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet and write on it, 'Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.'
2 我要用誠實的見證人，祭司烏利亞和耶比利家的兒子撒迦利亞記錄這事。」
I will summon faithful witnesses to attest for me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
3 我－ 以賽亞與妻子同室；她懷孕生子，耶和華就對我說：「給他起名叫瑪黑珥‧沙拉勒‧哈施‧罷斯；
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
4 因為在這小孩子不曉得叫父叫母之先，大馬士革的財寶和撒馬利亞的擄物必在亞述王面前搬了去。」
For before the child knows to cry, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
5 耶和華又曉諭我說：
Yahweh spoke to me again,
6 「這百姓既厭棄西羅亞緩流的水，喜悅利汛和利瑪利的兒子；
“Because this people has refused the gentle waters of Shiloah, and is happy over Rezin and Remaliah's son,
7 因此，主必使大河翻騰的水猛然沖來，就是亞述王和他所有的威勢，必漫過一切的水道，漲過兩岸；
therefore the Lord is about to bring up on them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels and overflow its banks.
8 必沖入猶大，漲溢氾濫，直到頸項。以馬內利啊，他展開翅膀，遍滿你的地。」
The River will sweep onward into Judah, flooding and passing on, until it reaches to your neck. Its outstretched wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.”
9 列國的人民哪，任憑你們喧嚷，終必破壞； 遠方的眾人哪，當側耳而聽！ 任憑你們束起腰來，終必破壞； 你們束起腰來，終必破壞。
You peoples will be broken to pieces. Listen, all you distant countries: arm yourselves for war and be broken in pieces; arm yourselves and be broken in pieces.
10 任憑你們同謀，終歸無有； 任憑你們言定，終不成立； 因為上帝與我們同在。
Form a plan, but it will not be carried out; issue the command, but it will not be carried out, for God is with us.
11 耶和華以大能的手，指教我不可行這百姓所行的道，對我這樣說：
Yahweh spoke to me, with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people.
12 「這百姓說同謀背叛，你們不要說同謀背叛。他們所怕的，你們不要怕，也不要畏懼。
Do not call conspiracy anything that this people calls conspiracy, you will not fear what they fear, and do not be terrified.
13 但要尊萬軍之耶和華為聖，以他為你們所當怕的，所當畏懼的。
It is Yahweh of hosts whom you will honor as holy; he is the one you must fear, and he is the one you must dread.
14 他必作為聖所，卻向以色列兩家作絆腳的石頭，跌人的磐石；向耶路撒冷的居民作為圈套和網羅。
He will become a sanctuary; but he will be a stone of striking, and a rock of stumbling— for both the houses of Israel, and he will be a trap and a snare to the people of Jerusalem.
15 許多人必在其上絆腳跌倒，而且跌碎，並陷入網羅，被纏住。」
Many will stumble over it and fall and be broken, and be ensnared and captured.
16 你要捲起律法書，在我門徒中間封住訓誨。
Bind up my testimony, seal the official record, and give it to my disciples.
17 我要等候那掩面不顧雅各家的耶和華；我也要仰望他。
I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob; I will trust in him.
18 看哪，我與耶和華所給我的兒女，就是從住在錫安山萬軍之耶和華來的，在以色列中作為預兆和奇蹟。
See, I and the sons whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, who lives on Mount Zion.
19 有人對你們說：「當求問那些交鬼的和行巫術的，就是聲音綿蠻，言語微細的。」你們便回答說：「百姓不當求問自己的上帝嗎？豈可為活人求問死人呢？」
They will say to you, “Consult with the mediums and spiritists,” those who chirp and mutter incantations. But should a people not consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20 人當以訓誨和法度為標準；他們所說的，若不與此相符，必不得見晨光。
To the law and to the testimony! If they do not say such things, it is because they have no light of dawn.
21 他們必經過這地，受艱難，受飢餓；飢餓的時候，心中焦躁，咒罵自己的君王和自己的上帝。
They will pass through the land greatly distressed and hungry. When they are hungry, they will become angry and curse their king and their God, as they turn their faces upward.
22 仰觀上天，俯察下地，不料，盡是艱難、黑暗，和幽暗的痛苦。他們必被趕入烏黑的黑暗中去。
They will look at the earth and see distress, darkness, and oppressive gloom. They will be driven into a land of darkness.
