Isaiah 10
1 Woe unto them that decree iniquitous decrees, and to the writers that prescribe oppression,
禍哉！那些設立不義之律例的 和記錄奸詐之判語的，
2 to turn away the poor from judgment, and to take away the right from the afflicted of my people; that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
為要屈枉窮乏人， 奪去我民中困苦人的理， 以寡婦當作擄物， 以孤兒當作掠物。
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the sudden destruction [which] shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help, and where will ye leave your glory?
到降罰的日子，有災禍從遠方臨到， 那時，你們怎樣行呢？ 你們向誰逃奔求救呢？ 你們的榮耀存留何處呢？
4 They can but crouch under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
他們只得屈身在被擄的人以下， 仆倒在被殺的人以下。 雖然如此，耶和華的怒氣還未轉消； 他的手仍伸不縮。
5 Ah! the Assyrian! the rod of mine anger! and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
亞述是我怒氣的棍， 手中拿我惱恨的杖。
6 I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge; to take the spoil, and to seize the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
我要打發他攻擊褻瀆的國民， 吩咐他攻擊我所惱怒的百姓， 搶財為擄物，奪貨為掠物， 將他們踐踏，像街上的泥土一樣。
7 But he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; for it is in his heart to extirpate and cut off nations not a few.
然而，他不是這樣的意思； 他心也不這樣打算。 他心裏倒想毀滅， 剪除不少的國。
8 For he saith, Are not my princes all kings?
他說：我的臣僕豈不都是王嗎？
9 Is not Calno as Karkemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
迦勒挪豈不像迦基米施嗎？ 哈馬豈不像亞珥拔嗎？ 撒馬利亞豈不像大馬士革嗎？
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, — and their graven images exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
我手已經搆到有偶像的國； 這些國雕刻的偶像 過於耶路撒冷和撒馬利亞的偶像。
11 — shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her images?
我怎樣待撒馬利亞和其中的偶像， 豈不照樣待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像嗎？
12 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stoutness of heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
主在錫安山和耶路撒冷成就他一切工作的時候，主說：「我必罰亞述王自大的心和他高傲眼目的榮耀。」
13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], and by my wisdom, for I am intelligent; and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and, like a valiant man, I have brought down them that sit [on thrones];
因為他說： 我所成就的事是靠我手的能力 和我的智慧， 我本有聰明。 我挪移列國的地界， 搶奪他們所積蓄的財寶； 並且我像勇士，使坐寶座的降為卑。
14 and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples, and as one gathereth forsaken eggs, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped.
我的手搆到列國的財寶， 好像人搆到鳥窩； 我也得了全地， 好像人拾起所棄的雀蛋。 沒有動翅膀的； 沒有張嘴的，也沒有鳴叫的。
15 — Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? As if the rod should wield them that lift it up; as if the staff should lift up [him who is] not wood!
斧豈可向用斧砍木的自誇呢？ 鋸豈可向用鋸的自大呢？ 好比棍掄起那舉棍的， 好比杖舉起那非木的人。
16 Therefore shall the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness, and under his glory he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire:
因此，主－萬軍之耶和華 必使亞述王的肥壯人變為瘦弱， 在他的榮華之下必有火着起， 如同焚燒一樣。
17 and the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briars in one day,
以色列的光必如火； 他的聖者必如火焰。 在一日之間，將亞述王的荊棘 和蒺藜焚燒淨盡；
18 and it shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick man fainteth.
又將他樹林和肥田的榮耀全然燒盡， 好像拿軍旗的昏過去一樣。
19 And the remainder of the trees of his forest shall be few: yea, a child might write them.
他林中剩下的樹必稀少， 就是孩子也能寫其數。
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant of Israel and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob shall no more again rely upon him that smote them; but they shall rely upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
到那日，以色列所剩下的和雅各家所逃脫的，不再倚靠那擊打他們的，卻要誠實倚靠耶和華－以色列的聖者。
21 The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
所剩下的，就是雅各家所剩下的，必歸回全能的上帝。
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption determined shall overflow in righteousness.
以色列啊，你的百姓雖多如海沙，惟有剩下的歸回。原來滅絕的事已定，必有公義施行，如水漲溢。
23 For a consumption, and [one] determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, accomplish in the midst of all the land.
因為主－萬軍之耶和華在全地之中必成就所定規的結局。
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt:
所以，主－萬軍之耶和華如此說：「住錫安我的百姓啊，亞述王雖然用棍擊打你，又照埃及的樣子舉杖攻擊你，你卻不要怕他。
25 for yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction.
因為還有一點點時候，向你們發的忿恨就要完畢，我的怒氣要向他發作，使他滅亡。
26 And Jehovah of hosts will stir up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and his rod [shall be] upon the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
萬軍之耶和華要興起鞭來攻擊他，好像在俄立磐石那裏殺戮米甸人一樣。耶和華的杖要向海伸出，把杖舉起，像在埃及一樣。
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck; and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. ...
到那日，亞述王的重擔必離開你的肩頭；他的軛必離開你的頸項；那軛也必因肥壯的緣故撐斷。」
28 He is come to Aiath, he hath passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage.
亞述王來到亞葉， 經過米磯崙， 在密抹安放輜重。
29 They are gone through the pass; they make their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth, Gibeah of Saul is fled.
他們過了隘口， 在迦巴住宿。 拉瑪人戰兢； 掃羅的基比亞人逃跑。
30 Lift up thy voice, daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laish! — Poor Anathoth!
迦琳的居民哪，要高聲呼喊！ 萊煞人哪，須聽！ 哀哉！困苦的亞拿突啊。
31 Madmenah is fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.
瑪得米那人躲避； 基柄的居民逃遁。
32 Still a day of halting at Nob; he shaketh his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. ...
當那日，亞述王要在挪伯歇兵， 向錫安女子的山－ 就是耶路撒冷的山－掄手攻他。
33 Behold the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the boughs with violence; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be brought low;
看哪，主－萬軍之耶和華 以驚嚇削去樹枝； 長高的必被砍下， 高大的必被伐倒。
34 and he shall make clearings in the thickets of the forest with iron; and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
稠密的樹林，他要用鐵器砍下； 黎巴嫩的樹木必被大能者伐倒。
