Isaiah 65
1 Those who before were not asking for me have sought me. Those who have not sought me have found me. I said, “Behold, it is I! Behold, it is I!” to a nation which was not invoking my name.
素來沒有訪問我的，現在求問我； 沒有尋找我的，我叫他們遇見； 沒有稱為我名下的，我對他們說： 我在這裏！我在這裏！
2 I have extended my hands all day long to an unbelieving people, who advance along a way that is not good, following their own thoughts,
我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓； 他們隨自己的意念行不善之道。
3 to a people who provoke me to anger before my face continually, who immolate in the gardens, and who sacrifice upon the bricks.
這百姓時常當面惹我發怒； 在園中獻祭， 在壇上燒香；
4 They live in sepulchers, and they sleep in the shrines of idols. They eat the flesh of swine, and a profane elixir is in their vessels.
在墳墓間坐着， 在隱密處住宿， 吃豬肉； 他們器皿中有可憎之物做的湯；
5 They say: “Depart from me! Do not approach me, for you are unclean!” Such as these will be the smoke in my fury, a fire burning all day long.
且對人說：你站開吧！ 不要挨近我，因為我比你聖潔。 主說：這些人是我鼻中的煙， 是整天燒着的火。
6 Behold, it has been written in my sight; I will not be silent. Instead, I will render retribution into their sinews.
看哪，這都寫在我面前。 我必不靜默，必施行報應， 必將你們的罪孽和你們列祖的罪孽， 就是在山上燒香， 在岡上褻瀆我的罪孽， 一同報應在他們後人懷中， 我先要把他們所行的量給他們； 這是耶和華說的。
7 Your iniquities are joined with the iniquities of your fathers, says the Lord. For they have sacrificed upon the mountains, and they have offended me upon the hills. And so, I will measure back to them, from their first work, into their sinews.
8 Thus says the Lord: In the same way as it is said about a grain found in a cluster, “Do not destroy it, because it is a blessing,” so will I act for the sake of my servants, so that I may not destroy the whole.
耶和華如此說：葡萄中尋得新酒， 人就說：不要毀壞， 因為福在其中。 我因我僕人的緣故也必照樣而行， 不將他們全然毀滅。
9 And I will lead forth an offspring from Jacob, and a possessor of my mountains from Judah. And my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall live there.
我必從雅各中領出後裔， 從猶大中領出承受我眾山的。 我的選民必承受； 我的僕人要在那裏居住。
10 And the open plains will become sheepfolds for the flocks, and the valley of Achor will become a domicile for the herds, for my people who have sought me.
沙崙平原必成為羊群的圈； 亞割谷必成為牛群躺臥之處， 都為尋求我的民所得。
11 And you who have forsaken the Lord, who have forgotten my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune, and who offer libations concerning her:
但你們這些離棄耶和華、 忘記我的聖山、給時運擺筵席、 給天命盛滿調和酒的，
12 I will number you with the sword, and you will all fall by slaughter. For I called and you did not respond; I spoke, and you did not listen. And you did what is evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, you have chosen.
我要命定你們歸在刀下， 都必屈身被殺； 因為我呼喚，你們沒有答應； 我說話，你們沒有聽從； 反倒行我眼中看為惡的， 揀選我所不喜悅的。
13 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, my servants will eat, and you will be hungry. Behold, my servants will drink, and you will be thirsty.
所以，主耶和華如此說： 我的僕人必得吃，你們卻飢餓； 我的僕人必得喝，你們卻乾渴； 我的僕人必歡喜，你們卻蒙羞。
14 Behold, my servants will rejoice, and you will be confounded. Behold, my servants will give praise in exultation of heart, and you will cry out in sorrow of heart, and you will wail in contrition of spirit.
我的僕人因心中高興歡呼， 你們卻因心中憂愁哀哭， 又因心裏憂傷哀號。
15 And you will leave behind your name to my elect as a curse. And the Lord God will put you to death, and he will call his servants by another name.
你們必留下自己的名， 為我選民指着賭咒。 主耶和華必殺你們， 另起別名稱呼他的僕人。
16 By that name, whoever is blessed on earth, will be blessed in God. Amen! And whoever swears on earth, will swear by God. Amen! For the past anguishes have been delivered into oblivion, and they have been hidden from my eyes.
這樣，在地上為自己求福的， 必憑真實的上帝求福； 在地上起誓的， 必指真實的上帝起誓。 因為，從前的患難已經忘記， 也從我眼前隱藏了。
17 For behold, I create the new heavens and the new earth. And the former things will not be in memory and will not enter into the heart.
看哪！我造新天新地； 從前的事不再被記念，也不再追想。
18 But you will be glad and exult, even forever, in these things that I create. For behold, I create Jerusalem as an exultation, and its people as a joy.
你們當因我所造的永遠歡喜快樂； 因我造耶路撒冷為人所喜， 造其中的居民為人所樂。
19 And I will exult in Jerusalem, and I will rejoice in my people. And neither a voice of weeping, nor a voice of outcry, will be heard in her anymore.
我必因耶路撒冷歡喜， 因我的百姓快樂； 其中必不再聽見哭泣的聲音和哀號的聲音。
20 There will no longer be an infant of only a few days there, nor an elder who does not complete his days. For a mere child dies at a hundred years of age, and a sinner of a hundred years will be accursed.
其中必沒有數日夭亡的嬰孩， 也沒有壽數不滿的老者； 因為百歲死的仍算孩童， 有百歲死的罪人算被咒詛。
21 And they will build houses, and will inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards, and will eat their fruits.
他們要建造房屋，自己居住； 栽種葡萄園，吃其中的果子。
22 They will not build, so that another may inhabit. They will not plant, so that another may eat. For according to the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people. And the works of their hands will be long-standing.
他們建造的，別人不得住； 他們栽種的，別人不得吃； 因為我民的日子必像樹木的日子； 我選民親手勞碌得來的必長久享用。
23 My elect will not labor in vain, and they will not bring forth in disorder. For they are the offspring of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity are with them.
他們必不徒然勞碌， 所生產的，也不遭災害， 因為都是蒙耶和華賜福的後裔； 他們的子孫也是如此。
24 And this shall be: before they call out, I will perceive; while they are still speaking, I will hear.
他們尚未求告，我就應允； 正說話的時候，我就垂聽。
25 The wolf and the lamb will pasture together. The lion and the ox will eat hay. And dust will be the food of the serpent. They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
豺狼必與羊羔同食； 獅子必吃草與牛一樣； 塵土必作蛇的食物。 在我聖山的遍處， 這一切都不傷人，不害物。 這是耶和華說的。
