Isaiah 9
1 For there is no gloom to her who had been in anguish, In the former time, he brought into dishonour The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, In the latter time, hath he brought into honour The Lake-way over the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
但那受过痛苦的必不再见幽暗。 从前 神使西布伦地和拿弗他利地被藐视，末后却使这沿海的路，约旦河外，外邦人的加利利地得着荣耀。
2 the people who were walking in darkness, Have seen a great light, —The dwellers in a land death-shadowed, A light, hath shined upon them.
在黑暗中行走的百姓看见了大光； 住在死荫之地的人有光照耀他们。
3 Thou hast increased the exultation Thou hast made great the joy, —They joy before thee, according to the joy of harvest, As men exult when they distribute spoil.
你使这国民繁多， 加增他们的喜乐； 他们在你面前欢喜， 好像收割的欢喜， 像人分掳物那样的快乐。
4 For, the yoke of their burden, The cross-bar of their shoulder, The goad of their driver, Hast thou broken, as in the day of Midian.
因为他们所负的重轭 和肩头上的杖， 并欺压他们人的棍， 你都已经折断， 好像在米甸的日子一样。
5 Surely, every boot of one tramping in tumult, and the war-cloak rolled in blood Then shall serve for burning, food for fire;
战士在乱杀之间所穿戴的盔甲， 并那滚在血中的衣服， 都必作为可烧的， 当作火柴。
6 For, A Child, hath been born to us, A Son, hath been given to us, And the dominion is upon his shoulder, —And his Name hath been called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty GOD, Father of Futurity, Prince of Prosperity.
因有一婴孩为我们而生； 有一子赐给我们。 政权必担在他的肩头上； 他名称为“奇妙策士、全能的 神、永在的父、和平的君”。
7 Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end—Upon the throne of David and Upon his kingdom, By establishing it and By sustaining it, With justice and With righteousness, —From henceforth, Even unto times age-abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!
他的政权与平安必加增无穷。 他必在大卫的宝座上治理他的国， 以公平公义使国坚定稳固， 从今直到永远。 万军之耶和华的热心必成就这事。
8 A word, hath My Lord, sent unto Jacob, —And it shall alight on Israel;
主使一言入于雅各家， 落于以色列家。
9 and the people shall all of them know [it] —Ephraim and the dweller in Samaria—Who in pride and insolence of heart, are saying:
这众百姓，就是以法莲 和撒马利亚的居民，都要知道； 他们凭骄傲自大的心说：
10 Bricks, have fallen down But with hewn stone, will we build, —Sycomores, have been felled, But with cedars, will we replace them.
砖墙塌了，我们却要凿石头建筑； 桑树砍了，我们却要换香柏树。
11 Therefore will Yahweh strengthen the adversaries of Resin against him, —And his enemies will he arouse:
因此，耶和华要高举利汛的敌人 来攻击以色列， 并要激动以色列的仇敌。
12 Syrians before and Philistines behind, Thus have they devoured Israel with open mouth, —For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
东有亚兰人，西有非利士人； 他们张口要吞吃以色列。 虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消； 他的手仍伸不缩。
13 Yet, the people, have not turned unto him that smote them, —And Yahweh of hosts, have they not sought.
这百姓还没有归向击打他们的主， 也没有寻求万军之耶和华。
14 Therefore hath Yahweh cut off from Israel—Head and tail Palm-top and rush, In one day.
因此，耶和华一日之间 必从以色列中剪除头与尾， 棕枝与芦苇—
15 The elder and favourite, he, is the head, —And the prophet teaching falsehood, he, is the tail;
长老和尊贵人就是头， 以谎言教人的先知就是尾。
16 And they who should have led this people forward have been causing them to stray, —And, they who are led of them are destroyed,
因为，引导这百姓的使他们走错了路； 被引导的都必败亡。
17 For this cause, over their choice young men, will My Lord not rejoice, And on their fatherless and their widows, will he not have compassion, For every one of them, is profane and an evildoer, And, every mouth is speaking baseness, —For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
所以，主必不喜悦他们的少年人， 也不怜恤他们的孤儿寡妇； 因为，各人是亵渎的，是行恶的， 并且各人的口都说愚妄的话。 虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消； 他的手仍伸不缩。
18 For lawlessness, hath consumed like fire, Briars and thorns, doth it devour, —Yea it hath kindled upon the thickets of the forest, And they have rolled up as a column of smoke.
邪恶像火焚烧， 烧灭荆棘和蒺藜， 在稠密的树林中着起来， 就成为烟柱，旋转上腾。
19 Through the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, is the land consumed, —And the people have come to be, as fuel for fire, A man unto his own brother, sheweth not pity;
因万军之耶和华的烈怒，地都烧遍； 百姓成为火柴； 无人怜爱弟兄。
20 And he hath slain on the right, and yet is hungry, And hath eaten on the left, yet are they not satisfied, —Every one, the flesh of his own arm, will they eat:
有人右边抢夺，仍受饥饿， 左边吞吃，仍不饱足； 各人吃自己膀臂上的肉。
21 Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, They together—against Judah, —For all this, hath his anger not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
玛拿西吞吃以法莲； 以法莲吞吃玛拿西， 又一同攻击犹大。 虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消； 他的手仍伸不缩。
