Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaias the son of Amos I which he saw concerning Juda and Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda.
當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大王的時候，亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示，論到猶大和耶路撒冷。
2 Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken. I have brought up children, and exalted them: but they have despised me.
天哪，要聽！地啊，側耳而聽！ 因為耶和華說： 我養育兒女，將他們養大， 他們竟悖逆我。
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel hath not known me, and my people hath not understood.
牛認識主人， 驢認識主人的槽， 以色列卻不認識； 我的民卻不留意。
4 Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children: they have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they are gone away backwards.
嗐！犯罪的國民， 擔着罪孽的百姓； 行惡的種類， 敗壞的兒女！ 他們離棄耶和華， 藐視以色列的聖者， 與他生疏，往後退步。
5 For what shall I strike you any more, you that increase transgression? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad.
你們為甚麼屢次悖逆， 還要受責打嗎？ 你們已經滿頭疼痛， 全心發昏。
6 From the sole of the foot unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not bound up, nor dressed, nor fomented with oil.
從腳掌到頭頂， 沒有一處完全的， 盡是傷口、青腫，與新打的傷痕， 都沒有收口，沒有纏裹， 也沒有用膏滋潤。
7 Your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted by enemies.
你們的地土已經荒涼； 你們的城邑被火焚毀。 你們的田地在你們眼前為外邦人所侵吞， 既被外邦人傾覆就成為荒涼。
8 And the daughter of Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste.
僅存錫安城， 好像葡萄園的草棚， 瓜田的茅屋， 被圍困的城邑。
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha.
若不是萬軍之耶和華給我們稍留餘種， 我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉的樣子了。
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrha.
你們這所多瑪的官長啊， 要聽耶和華的話！ 你們這蛾摩拉的百姓啊， 要側耳聽我們上帝的訓誨！
11 To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims, saith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of fatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck goats.
耶和華說： 你們所獻的許多祭物與我何益呢？ 公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油， 我已經夠了； 公牛的血，羊羔的血，公山羊的血， 我都不喜悅。
12 When you came to appear before me, who required these things at your hands, that you should walk in my courts?
你們來朝見我， 誰向你們討這些， 使你們踐踏我的院宇呢？
13 Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination to me. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked.
你們不要再獻虛浮的供物。 香品是我所憎惡的； 月朔和安息日，並宣召的大會， 也是我所憎惡的； 作罪孽，又守嚴肅會， 我也不能容忍。
14 My soul hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are become troublesome to me, I am weary of bearing them.
你們的月朔和節期，我心裏恨惡， 我都以為麻煩； 我擔當，便不耐煩。
15 And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood.
你們舉手禱告，我必遮眼不看； 就是你們多多地祈禱，我也不聽。 你們的手都滿了殺人的血。
16 Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,
你們要洗濯、自潔， 從我眼前除掉你們的惡行， 要止住作惡，
17 Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow.
學習行善， 尋求公平， 解救受欺壓的； 給孤兒伸冤， 為寡婦辨屈。
18 And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool.
耶和華說： 你們來，我們彼此辯論。 你們的罪雖像硃紅，必變成雪白； 雖紅如丹顏，必白如羊毛。
19 If you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.
你們若甘心聽從， 必吃地上的美物，
20 But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
若不聽從，反倒悖逆， 必被刀劍吞滅。 這是耶和華親口說的。
21 How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.
可歎，忠信的城變為妓女！ 從前充滿了公平， 公義居在其中， 現今卻有兇手居住。
22 Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water.
你的銀子變為渣滓； 你的酒用水攙對。
23 Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow’s cometh not in to them.
你的官長居心悖逆， 與盜賊作伴， 各都喜愛賄賂， 追求贓私。 他們不為孤兒伸冤； 寡婦的案件也不得呈到他們面前。
24 Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies.
因此，主－萬軍之耶和華、 以色列的大能者說： 哎！我要向我的對頭雪恨， 向我的敵人報仇。
25 And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dress, and I will take away all thy tin.
我必反手加在你身上， 煉盡你的渣滓， 除淨你的雜質。
26 And I will restore thy judges as they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city.
我也必復還你的審判官，像起初一樣， 復還你的謀士，像起先一般。 然後，你必稱為公義之城， 忠信之邑。
27 Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice.
錫安必因公平得蒙救贖； 其中歸正的人必因公義得蒙救贖。
28 And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed.
但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同敗亡； 離棄耶和華的必致消滅。
29 For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen.
那等人必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧； 你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞。
30 When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as a garden without water.
因為，你們必如葉子枯乾的橡樹， 好像無水澆灌的園子。
31 And your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it.
有權勢的必如麻瓤； 他的工作好像火星， 都要一同焚毀，無人撲滅。
