Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
禍哉，那些制定不義的法例，記錄不義的斷案，
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
為屈枉小民的案件，剝削我窮民的權利，攘奪寡婦和劫掠孤兒的人！
3 And what will ye do in the day of punishment, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
當懲罰之日，風暴由遠而近的時候，你們將怎樣應付﹖你們將向誰求助﹖你們的財寶將棄於何地﹖
4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
唯有屈伏在被俘者中，倒斃在被殺者下；然而他的震怒並未因此而熄滅，他的手仍然伸著。
5 O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.
禍哉，亞述！我義怒的木棒，我震怒的棍杖！
6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I command him, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
我派遣她是為攻擊一個邪惡的百姓，我委任他是為攻擊我所憤恨的民族，為擄掠劫奪，並為蹂躪他們，有如街上的糞土。
7 Yet he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
但她並沒有這樣想，心裏也沒有這樣推測，只圖肆意破壞，剿滅不少的民族。
8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
因為她說：「我的首領不都是君王嗎﹖
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
加耳諾不是與與加革米士一樣嗎﹖哈瑪特不是與阿爾帕得一樣嗎﹖撒瑪黎雅不是與大馬士革一樣嗎﹖
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images excelled them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
我的手既然征服了這些偶像的王國－－況且他們的偶像還多過耶路撒冷和撒瑪黎雅－－
11 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
難道我不能對待耶路撒冷和她的神像，有如對待了撒瑪黎雅和她的偶像嗎﹖」
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
當吾主對熙雍山和耶路撒冷完成了他的一切工作時，必要懲罰亞述王心高氣傲的功績，和他目空一切的驕傲。
13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
因為他曾說過：「我完成了這一切，全憑我的手和我的智慧，因為我是聰明的；我撤除了各民族的界限，擄掠了他們的財寶，有如強者打倒了居於高位的人。
14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
我的手奪取了列國的財富，有如取諸窩巢；我兼併了大地，有如拾取遺卵，沒有誰敢鼓翼和張口鼓噪。」
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it, or as if the staff should lift itself, as if it were no wood.
斧頭豈能對用斧頭砍伐的人自豪﹖鋸豈能向拉鋸的人自誇﹖難道棍杖能揮動那舉它的人﹖木棒能舉起那不是木頭的人﹖
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
因此吾主，萬軍的天主，將瘦弱放在她的肥碩之中，在她的光輝之下燃起火燄，有如烈火焚燒。
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
以色列的光將變為火，他的聖者將變為烈燄，一日間即將她的荊棘蒺藜焚燬。
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
她的叢林和她田園的華麗，必將由內到外毀滅，有如為蟲蝕盡一樣。
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
她的叢林所剩餘的樹木不多，一個兒童就能計算。
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them; but shall lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
到那一日，以色列的遺民和雅各伯家的逃亡者，不再依恃打擊他們的人，卻誠心依賴上主，以色列的聖者。
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
遺民必將歸回，雅各伯的遺民必將歸依強有力的天主！
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the full end decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
以色列啊！ 你的百姓雖然多如海沙，其中唯有殘存者得以歸回：毀滅已經決定，但是充溢著公義，
23 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a full end, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
因為吾主，萬軍的上主必在大地上執行所決定的毀滅。
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
因此吾主，萬軍的上主這樣說：我的百姓，熙雍的居民！亞述雖然用木棒痛擊你，像埃及一樣，舉起棍杖敲打你，但你不必害怕，
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in their destruction.
因為瞬息間我的怒氣即將終止，我的憤怒將轉為他們的毀滅。
26 And the LORD of hosts shall raise up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
萬軍的上主將揮動刑鞭鞭打他們，有如昔日在曷勒布磐石處打擊米德楊一樣；高舉向海上伸出的棍杖，有如在埃及一樣。
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
到那日，她的重負將由你肩上卸下，她的重軛將由你頸上解除。
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath attended to his carriages:
破壞者由黎孟而來，來到阿雅特，經過米革龍，將輜重貯在米革瑪斯；
29 They have gone over the pass: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul hath fled.
又穿過要隘，夜宿革巴。辣瑪驚慌了，撒烏耳的基貝亞逃走了。
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.
巴特加林！你們應大聲疾呼；拉依士！你們應該傾聽；阿納托特！你們應該回答。
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
瑪德默納走散了，革平的居民逃避了。
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
在諾布暫停一天，遂即揮手指向熙雍女兒山，耶路撒冷的山崗。
33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
看啊！吾主，萬軍的上主將用斧鉞砍伐枝幹：高出的要削去，聳出的要砍低。
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
他將用鐵斧砍伐叢林，黎巴嫩和她的壯麗必被伐倒。
