< Isaiah 66 >

1 The Lord says, Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is the resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, and what place will be my resting-place?
耶和华如此说: 天是我的座位; 地是我的脚凳。 你们要为我造何等的殿宇? 哪里是我安息的地方呢?
2 For all these things my hand has made, and they are mine, says the Lord; but to this man only will I give attention, to him who is poor and broken in spirit, fearing my word.
耶和华说:这一切都是我手所造的, 所以就都有了。 但我所看顾的, 就是虚心痛悔、 因我话而战兢的人。
3 He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;
假冒为善的宰牛,好像杀人, 献羊羔,好像打折狗项, 献供物,好像献猪血, 烧乳香,好像称颂偶像。 这等人拣选自己的道路, 心里喜悦行可憎恶的事。
4 So I will go after trouble for them, and will send on them what they are fearing: because no one made answer to my voice, or gave ear to my word; but they did what was evil in my eyes, going after that in which I took no pleasure.
我也必拣选迷惑他们的事, 使他们所惧怕的临到他们; 因为我呼唤,无人答应; 我说话,他们不听从; 反倒行我眼中看为恶的, 拣选我所不喜悦的。
5 Give ear to the word of the Lord, you who are in fear at his word: your countrymen, hating you, and driving you out because of my name, have said, Let the Lord's glory be made clear, so that we may see your joy; but they will be put to shame.
你们因耶和华言语战兢的人当听他的话: 你们的弟兄—就是恨恶你们, 因我名赶出你们的,曾说: 愿耶和华得荣耀, 使我们得见你们的喜乐; 但蒙羞的究竟是他们!
6 There is a noise of war from the town, a sound from the Temple, the voice of the Lord giving punishment to his haters.
有喧哗的声音出自城中! 有声音出于殿中! 是耶和华向仇敌施行报应的声音!
7 Before her pains came, she gave birth; before her pains, she gave birth to a man-child.
锡安未曾劬劳就生产, 未觉疼痛就生出男孩。
8 When has such a story come to men's ears? who has seen such things? will a land come to birth in one day? will a nation be given birth in a minute? For when Zion's pains came on her, she gave birth to her children straight away.
国岂能一日而生? 民岂能一时而产? 因为锡安一劬劳便生下儿女, 这样的事谁曾听见? 谁曾看见呢?
9 Will I by whom the birth was started, not make it complete? says the Lord. Will I who make children come to birth, let them be kept back? says your God.
耶和华说:我既使她临产, 岂不使她生产呢? 你的 神说:我既使她生产, 岂能使她闭胎不生呢?
10 Have joy with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you her lovers: take part in her joy, all you who are sorrowing for her:
你们爱慕耶路撒冷的 都要与她一同欢喜快乐; 你们为她悲哀的 都要与她一同乐上加乐;
11 So that you may take of the comfort flowing from her breasts, and be delighted with the full measure of her glory.
使你们在她安慰的怀中吃奶得饱, 使他们得她丰盛的荣耀, 犹如挤奶,满心喜乐。
12 For the Lord says, See, I will make her peace like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, and she will take her children in her arms, gently caring for them on her knees.
耶和华如此说: 我要使平安延及她,好像江河, 使列国的荣耀延及她,如同涨溢的河。 你们要从中享受; 你们必蒙抱在肋旁,摇弄在膝上。
13 As to one who is comforted by his mother, so will I give you comfort: and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.
母亲怎样安慰儿子,我就照样安慰你们; 你们也必因耶路撒冷得安慰。
14 And you will see it and your heart will be glad, and your bones will get new strength, like young grass: and the hand of the Lord will be seen at work for his servants, and his wrath against his haters.
你们看见,就心中快乐; 你们的骨头必得滋润像嫩草一样; 而且耶和华的手向他仆人所行的必被人知道; 他也要向仇敌发恼恨。
15 For the Lord is coming with fire, and his war-carriages will be like the storm-wind; to give punishment in the heat of his wrath, and his passion is like flames of fire.
看哪,耶和华必在火中降临; 他的车辇像旋风, 以烈怒施行报应, 以火焰施行责罚;
16 For with fire and sword will the Lord come, judging all the earth, and his sword will be on all flesh: and great numbers will be put to death by him.
因为耶和华在一切有血气的人身上, 必以火与刀施行审判; 被耶和华所杀的必多。
17 As for those who keep themselves separate, and make themselves clean in the gardens, going after one in the middle, taking pig's flesh for food, and other disgusting things, such as the mouse: their works and their thoughts will come to an end together, says the Lord.
“那些分别为圣、洁净自己的,进入园内跟在其中一个人的后头,吃猪肉和仓鼠并可憎之物,他们必一同灭绝;这是耶和华说的。
18 And I am coming to get together all nations and tongues: and they will come and will see my glory.
“我知道他们的行为和他们的意念。时候将到,我必将万民万族聚来,看见我的荣耀,
19 And I will put a sign among them, and I will send those who are still living to the nations, to Tarshish, Put, and Lud, Meshech and Rosh, Tubal and Javan, to the sea-lands far away, who have not had word of me, or seen my glory; and they will give the knowledge of my glory to the nations.
我要显神迹在他们中间。逃脱的,我要差到列国去,就是到他施、普勒、拉弓的路德和土巴、雅完,并素来没有听见我名声、没有看见我荣耀辽远的海岛;他们必将我的荣耀传扬在列国中。
20 And they will take your countrymen out of all the nations for an offering to the Lord, on horses, and in carriages, and in carts, and on asses, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, as the children of Israel take their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
他们必将你们的弟兄从列国中送回,使他们或骑马,或坐车,坐轿,骑骡子,骑独峰驼,到我的圣山耶路撒冷,作为供物献给耶和华,好像以色列人用洁净的器皿盛供物奉到耶和华的殿中;这是耶和华说的。
21 And some of them will I take for priests and Levites, says the Lord.
耶和华说:我也必从他们中间取人为祭司,为利未人。”
22 For as the new heaven and the new earth which I will make will be for ever before me, says the Lord, so will your seed and your name be for ever.
耶和华说:我所要造的新天新地, 怎样在我面前长存; 你们的后裔和你们的名字也必照样长存。
23 And it will be, that from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh will come to give worship before me, says the Lord.
每逢月朔、安息日, 凡有血气的必来在我面前下拜。 这是耶和华说的。
24 And they will go out to see the dead bodies of the men who have done evil against me: for their worm will ever be living, and their fire will never be put out, and they will be a thing of fear to all flesh.
他们必出去观看那些违背我人的尸首; 因为他们的虫是不死的; 他们的火是不灭的; 凡有血气的都必憎恶他们。
