Isaiah 47
1 Down—and sit in the dust, O virgin Daughter of Babylon, Sit on the ground—throneless, Daughter of the Chaldeans; For thou shalt no more be called Tender and Dainty.
巴比伦的处女啊， 下来坐在尘埃； 迦勒底的闺女啊， 没有宝座，要坐在地上； 因为你不再称为柔弱娇嫩的。
2 Take millstones, and grind meal, —Put back thy veil—tuck up thy train Bare the leg, wade through streams:
要用磨磨面， 揭去帕子， 脱去长衣，露腿趟河。
3 Bared shall be thy shame, Yea seen thy reproach, —An avenging, will I take, And will accept no son of earth.
你的下体必被露出； 你的丑陋必被看见。 我要报仇， 谁也不宽容。
4 Our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts, is his name! The Holy One of Israel.
我们救赎主的名是 万军之耶和华—以色列的圣者。
5 Sit silent, and get into darkness, Daughter of the Chaldeans! For thou shalt no more be called Mistress of Kingdoms.
迦勒底的闺女啊， 你要默然静坐，进入暗中， 因为你不再称为列国的主母。
6 I had been provoked with my people, Had profaned mine inheritance, And given them into thy hand, …Thou shewedst them no compassion, Upon the elder, madest thou very heavy thy yoke.
我向我的百姓发怒， 使我的产业被亵渎， 将他们交在你手中， 你毫不怜悯他们， 把极重的轭加在老年人身上。
7 And thou saidst, Unto times age-abiding, shall I be Mistress, —Insomuch that thou laidst not these things to thy heart, Didst not keep in mind the issue thereof,
你自己说：我必永为主母， 所以你不将这事放在心上， 也不思想这事的结局。
8 Now, therefore hear this, Thou Lady of pleasure Who dwelleth securely, Who saith in her heart, —I, [am], and there is no one besides, I shall not sit a widow, Nor know loss of children.
你这专好宴乐、安然居住的， 现在当听这话。 你心中说：惟有我， 除我以外再没有别的。 我必不致寡居， 也不遭丧子之事。
9 Yet shall there come to thee—both these, in a moment, in one day, Loss of children and widowhood, —To their full, have they come on thee, Spite of the mass of thine incantations, Spite of the great throng of thy spells.
哪知，丧子、寡居这两件事 在一日转眼之间必临到你； 正在你多行邪术、广施符咒的时候， 这两件事必全然临到你身上。
10 And so thou didst trust in thy wickedness, Thou saidst, no one, seeth me, Thy wisdom and knowledge, the same, seduced thee, —Therefore saidst thou in thy heart, I [am], and there is no one besides.
你素来倚仗自己的恶行，说： 无人看见我。 你的智慧聪明使你偏邪， 并且你心里说：惟有我， 除我以外再没有别的。
11 Therefore shall come on thee—Mischief, Thou shalt not know how to charm it away Yea there shall fall on thee, Ruin, Thou shalt not be able to appease it, —And there shall come on thee suddenly. Desolation. Thou shalt not know.
因此，祸患要临到你身； 你不知何时发现 灾害落在你身上， 你也不能除掉； 所不知道的毁灭也必忽然临到你身。
12 Take thy stand, I pray thee, With thy spells. And with the throng of thine incantations wherein thou hast wearied thyself from thy youth, —Peradventure thou mayest be able to profit Peradventure thou mayest strike me with terror.
站起来吧！ 用你从幼年劳神施行的符咒和你许多的邪术； 或者可得益处， 或者可得强胜。
13 Thou hast worn thyself out with the mass of thy consultations, —Let them take their stand I pray thee that they may save thee—The dividers of the heavens—The gazers at the stars, They who make known by new moons, Somewhat of the things which shall come upon thee.
你筹划太多，以致疲倦。 让那些观天象的，看星宿的， 在月朔说预言的，都站起来， 救你脱离所要临到你的事。
14 Lo! they have become as straw—a fire, hath burned them up, They shall not deliver their own soul from the grasp of the flame, —There is, no live coal to warm them, nor blaze to sit before.
他们要像碎秸被火焚烧， 不能救自己脱离火焰之力； 这火并非可烤的炭火， 也不是可以坐在其前的火。
15 Such, have they become to thee, with whom thou hast wearied thyself, —Thy merchants—from thy youth, will every man stagger straight onwards—There is none to save thee.
你所劳神的事都要这样与你无益； 从幼年与你贸易的也都各奔各乡，无人救你。
