Isaiah 8
1 Moreover, the Lord sayd vnto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a mans penne, Make speede to the spoyle: haste to the praye.
耶和華對我說：「你取一個大牌，拿人所用的筆，寫上『瑪黑珥‧沙拉勒‧哈施‧罷斯』。
2 Then I tooke vnto me faithfull witnesses to recorde, Vriah the Priest, and Zechariah the sonne of Ieberechiah.
我要用誠實的見證人，祭司烏利亞和耶比利家的兒子撒迦利亞記錄這事。」
3 After, I came vnto the Prophetesse, which conceiued, and bare a sonne. Then sayd the Lord to me, Call his name, Mahershalalhash-baz.
我－ 以賽亞與妻子同室；她懷孕生子，耶和華就對我說：「給他起名叫瑪黑珥‧沙拉勒‧哈施‧罷斯；
4 For before the childe shall haue knowledge to crye, My father, and my mother, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoyle of Samaria, before the King of Asshur.
因為在這小孩子不曉得叫父叫母之先，大馬士革的財寶和撒馬利亞的擄物必在亞述王面前搬了去。」
5 And the Lord spake yet againe vnto me, saying,
耶和華又曉諭我說：
6 Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that runne softly, and reioyce with Rezin, and the sonne of Remaliah,
「這百姓既厭棄西羅亞緩流的水，喜悅利汛和利瑪利的兒子；
7 Nowe therefore, beholde, the Lord bringeth vp vpon them the waters of the Riuer mightie and great, euen the King of Asshur with all his glory, and he shall come vp vpon all their riuers, and goe ouer all their banks,
因此，主必使大河翻騰的水猛然沖來，就是亞述王和他所有的威勢，必漫過一切的水道，漲過兩岸；
8 And shall breake into Iudah, and shall ouerflowe and passe through, and shall come vp to the necke, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanu-el.
必沖入猶大，漲溢氾濫，直到頸項。以馬內利啊，他展開翅膀，遍滿你的地。」
9 Gather together on heapes, O ye people, and ye shalbe broken in pieces, and hearken all ye of farre countreys: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces.
列國的人民哪，任憑你們喧嚷，終必破壞； 遠方的眾人哪，當側耳而聽！ 任憑你們束起腰來，終必破壞； 你們束起腰來，終必破壞。
10 Take counsell together, yet it shall be brought to nought: pronounce a decree, yet shall it not stand: for God is with vs.
任憑你們同謀，終歸無有； 任憑你們言定，終不成立； 因為上帝與我們同在。
11 For the Lord spake thus to me in taking of mine hand, and taught me, that I should not walke in the way of this people, saying,
耶和華以大能的手，指教我不可行這百姓所行的道，對我這樣說：
12 Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them.
「這百姓說同謀背叛，你們不要說同謀背叛。他們所怕的，你們不要怕，也不要畏懼。
13 Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,
但要尊萬軍之耶和華為聖，以他為你們所當怕的，所當畏懼的。
14 And he shalbe as a Sanctuarie: but as a stumbling stone, and as a rocke to fall vpon, to both the houses of Israel, and as a snare and as a net to the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
他必作為聖所，卻向以色列兩家作絆腳的石頭，跌人的磐石；向耶路撒冷的居民作為圈套和網羅。
15 And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall and shalbe broken and shalbe snared and shalbe taken.
許多人必在其上絆腳跌倒，而且跌碎，並陷入網羅，被纏住。」
16 Binde vp the testimonie: seale vp the Law among my disciples.
你要捲起律法書，在我門徒中間封住訓誨。
17 Therefore I will waite vpon the Lord that hath hid his face from the house of Iaakob, and I wil looke for him.
我要等候那掩面不顧雅各家的耶和華；我也要仰望他。
18 Beholde, I and the children whome the Lord hath giuen me, are as signes and as wonders in Israel, by the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
看哪，我與耶和華所給我的兒女，就是從住在錫安山萬軍之耶和華來的，在以色列中作為預兆和奇蹟。
19 And when they shall say vnto you, Enquire at them that haue a spirit of diuination, and at the soothsayers, which whisper and murmure, Should not a people enquire at their God? from the liuing to the dead?
有人對你們說：「當求問那些交鬼的和行巫術的，就是聲音綿蠻，言語微細的。」你們便回答說：「百姓不當求問自己的上帝嗎？豈可為活人求問死人呢？」
20 To the Law, and to the testimonie, if they speake not according to this worde: it is because there is no light in them.
人當以訓誨和法度為標準；他們所說的，若不與此相符，必不得見晨光。
21 Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and from in it: and when he shalbe hungry, he shall euen freat himselfe, and curse his King and his gods, and shall looke vpward.
他們必經過這地，受艱難，受飢餓；飢餓的時候，心中焦躁，咒罵自己的君王和自己的上帝。
22 And when he shall looke to the earth, beholde trouble, and darkenes, vexation and anguish, and he is driuen to darkenes.
仰觀上天，俯察下地，不料，盡是艱難、黑暗，和幽暗的痛苦。他們必被趕入烏黑的黑暗中去。
