以赛亚书 8
1 耶和华对我说：“你取一个大牌，拿人所用的笔，写上‘玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯’。
And the Lord said unto me, Take thyself a large table, and write on it with distinct letters, Lemaher-shalal-chash-bas.
2 我要用诚实的见证人，祭司乌利亚和耶比利家的儿子撒迦利亚记录这事。”
And I was to summon for myself trustworthy witnesses, Uriyah the priest, and Zecharyahu the son of Yeberechyahu.
3 我— 以赛亚与妻子同室；她怀孕生子，耶和华就对我说：“给他起名叫玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯；
And I came near unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-chash-bas.
4 因为在这小孩子不晓得叫父叫母之先，大马士革的财宝和撒马利亚的掳物必在亚述王面前搬了去。”
For before yet the boy shall know to call, My father, and my mother, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
5 耶和华又晓谕我说：
And the Lord continued to speak unto me again, saying,
6 “这百姓既厌弃西罗亚缓流的水，喜悦利汛和利玛利的儿子；
Forasmuch as this people despiseth the waters of Shiloach that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remalyahu's son:
7 因此，主必使大河翻腾的水猛然冲来，就是亚述王和他所有的威势，必漫过一切的水道，涨过两岸；
Yea therefore behold, the Lord bringeth up over them the strong and many waters of the river, —the king of Assyria, and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and step over all his banks;
8 必冲入犹大，涨溢泛滥，直到颈项。以马内利啊，他展开翅膀，遍满你的地。”
And he shall penetrate into Judah, overflow and flood over, even to the neck shall he reach; and his outstretched wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O 'Immanu-el.
9 列国的人民哪，任凭你们喧嚷，终必破坏； 远方的众人哪，当侧耳而听！ 任凭你们束起腰来，终必破坏； 你们束起腰来，终必破坏。
Associate yourselves, O ye people, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of the far portions of the earth: gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces.
10 任凭你们同谋，终归无有； 任凭你们言定，终不成立； 因为 神与我们同在。
Take counsel together, yet shall it come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand firm; for with us is God.
11 耶和华以大能的手，指教我不可行这百姓所行的道，对我这样说：
For thus said the Lord to me with the strength of prophecy, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 “这百姓说同谋背叛，你们不要说同谋背叛。他们所怕的，你们不要怕，也不要畏惧。
Call ye not a conspiracy all that this people may call a conspiracy, and what it feareth shall ye not fear, and be not terrified [thereat].
13 但要尊万军之耶和华为圣，以他为你们所当怕的，所当畏惧的。
The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your terror.
14 他必作为圣所，却向以色列两家作绊脚的石头，跌人的磐石；向耶路撒冷的居民作为圈套和网罗。
And he will be for a sanctuary; but also for a stone of stumbling and for a rock to fall over unto both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 许多人必在其上绊脚跌倒，而且跌碎，并陷入网罗，被缠住。”
And many shall stumble over them, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and be caught.
16 你要卷起律法书，在我门徒中间封住训诲。
Bind up the testimony, seal up the law among my disciples.
17 我要等候那掩面不顾雅各家的耶和华；我也要仰望他。
And I will wait for the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope for him.
18 看哪，我与耶和华所给我的儿女，就是从住在锡安山万军之耶和华来的，在以色列中作为预兆和奇迹。
Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for tokens in Israel, from the Lord of hosts who dwelleth on mount Zion.
19 有人对你们说：“当求问那些交鬼的和行巫术的，就是声音绵蛮，言语微细的。”你们便回答说：“百姓不当求问自己的 神吗？岂可为活人求问死人呢？”
And when they shall say unto you, “Inquire of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards, that whisper, and that mutter:” should not a people inquire of their God? [should we then] in behalf of the living [inquire] of the dead?
20 人当以训诲和法度为标准；他们所说的，若不与此相符，必不得见晨光。
[Hold] to the law and to the testimony: if they are not to speak according to this word, in which there is no light.
21 他们必经过这地，受艰难，受饥饿；饥饿的时候，心中焦躁，咒骂自己的君王和自己的 神。
And the [people] shall pass through [the land], hard oppressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they will become enraged, and curse their king and their god, and turn toward on high [for aid].
22 仰观上天，俯察下地，不料，尽是艰难、黑暗，和幽暗的痛苦。他们必被赶入乌黑的黑暗中去。
And they will look unto the earth; and behold there are trouble and darkness, dimness of oppression, and they shall be scattered into obscurity.
