以赛亚书 26
1 当那日，在犹大地人必唱这歌说： 我们有坚固的城。 耶和华要将救恩定为城墙，为外郭。
In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2 敞开城门， 使守信的义民得以进入。
Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
3 坚心倚赖你的， 你必保守他十分平安， 因为他倚靠你。
You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
4 你们当倚靠耶和华直到永远， 因为耶和华是永久的磐石。
Trust in the LORD forever; for in the LORD, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
5 他使住高处的与高城一并败落， 将城拆毁，拆平，直到尘埃，
For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
6 要被脚践踏， 就是被困苦人的脚和穷乏人的脚践踏。
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy.”
7 义人的道是正直的； 你为正直的主，必修平义人的路。
The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
8 耶和华啊，我们在你行审判的路上等候你； 我们心里所羡慕的是你的名， 就是你那可记念的名。
Yes, in the way of your judgments, LORD, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
9 夜间，我心中羡慕你； 我里面的灵切切寻求你。 因为你在世上行审判的时候， 地上的居民就学习公义。
With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 以恩惠待恶人， 他仍不学习公义； 在正直的地上，他必行事不义， 也不注意耶和华的威严。
Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD’s majesty.
11 耶和华啊，你的手高举， 他们仍然不看； 却要看你为百姓发的热心，因而抱愧， 并且有火烧灭你的敌人。
LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see; but they will see your zeal for the people and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
12 耶和华啊，你必派定我们得平安， 因为我们所做的事都是你给我们成就的。
LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.
13 耶和华—我们的 神啊， 在你以外曾有别的主管辖我们， 但我们专要倚靠你，提你的名。
LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but we will only acknowledge your name.
14 他们死了，必不能再活； 他们去世，必不能再起； 因为你刑罚他们，毁灭他们， 他们的名号就全然消灭。
The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
15 耶和华啊，你增添国民， 你增添国民； 你得了荣耀， 又扩张地的四境。
You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 耶和华啊，他们在急难中寻求你； 你的惩罚临到他们身上， 他们就倾心吐胆祷告你。
LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17 妇人怀孕，临产疼痛， 在痛苦之中喊叫； 耶和华啊，我们在你面前也是如此。
Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, LORD.
18 我们也曾怀孕疼痛， 所产的竟像风一样。 我们在地上未曾行什么拯救的事； 世上的居民也未曾败落。
We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 死人要复活， 尸首要兴起。 睡在尘埃的啊，要醒起歌唱！ 因你的甘露好像菜蔬上的甘露， 地也要交出死人来。
Your dead shall live. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
20 我的百姓啊，你们要来进入内室， 关上门，隐藏片时， 等到忿怒过去。
Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
21 因为耶和华从他的居所出来， 要刑罚地上居民的罪孽。 地也必露出其中的血， 不再掩盖被杀的人。
For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
