Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that layest waste, and thou wast not laid waste; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to lay waste, thou shalt be wasted; and when thou shalt make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
禍哉！你這毀滅人的， 自己倒不被毀滅； 行事詭詐的， 人倒不以詭詐待你。 你毀滅罷休了， 自己必被毀滅； 你行完了詭詐， 人必以詭詐待你。
2 O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
耶和華啊，求你施恩於我們； 我們等候你。 求你每早晨作我們的膀臂， 遭難的時候為我們的拯救。
3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
喧嚷的響聲一發，眾民奔逃； 你一興起，列國四散。
4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
你們所擄的必被斂盡， 好像螞蚱吃盡禾稼。 人要蹦在其上，好像蝗蟲一樣。
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
耶和華被尊崇，因他居在高處； 他以公平公義充滿錫安。
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
你一生一世必得安穩－ 有豐盛的救恩， 並智慧和知識； 你以敬畏耶和華為至寶。
7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry outside: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
看哪，他們的豪傑在外頭哀號； 求和的使臣痛痛哭泣。
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
大路荒涼，行人止息； 敵人背約， 藐視城邑， 不顧人民。
9 The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
地上悲哀衰殘； 黎巴嫩羞愧枯乾； 沙崙像曠野； 巴珊和迦密的樹林凋殘。
10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
耶和華說： 現在我要起來； 我要興起； 我要勃然而興。
11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
你們要懷的是糠詷， 要生的是碎詡； 你們的氣就是吞滅自己的火。
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
列邦必像已燒的石灰， 像已割的荊棘在火中焚燒。
13 Ye that are far off, hear what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
你們遠方的人當聽我所行的； 你們近處的人當承認我的大能。
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
錫安中的罪人都懼怕； 不敬虔的人被戰兢抓住。 我們中間誰能與吞滅的火同住？ 我們中間誰能與永火同住呢？
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that keepeth his hands from accepting of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
行事公義、說話正直、 憎惡欺壓的財利、 擺手不受賄賂、 塞耳不聽流血的話， 閉眼不看邪惡事的，
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the strong holds of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
他必居高處； 他的保障是磐石的堅壘； 他的糧必不缺乏； 他的水必不斷絕。
17 Thy eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
你的眼必見王的榮美， 必見遼闊之地。
18 Thy heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
你的心必思想那驚嚇的事， 自問說：記數目的在哪裏呢？ 平貢銀的在哪裏呢？ 數戍樓的在哪裏呢？
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
你必不見那強暴的民， 就是說話深奧，你不能明白， 言語呢喃，你不能懂得的。
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, neither shall any of its cords be broken.
你要看錫安－我們守聖節的城！ 你的眼必見耶路撒冷為安靜的居所， 為不挪移的帳幕， 橛子永不拔出， 繩索一根也不折斷。
21 But there the glorious LORD will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams; in which shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass through it.
在那裏，耶和華必顯威嚴與我們同在， 當作江河寬闊之地； 其中必沒有盪槳搖櫓的船來往， 也沒有威武的船經過。
22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
因為，耶和華是審判我們的； 耶和華是給我們設律法的； 耶和華是我們的王； 他必拯救我們。
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
你的繩索鬆開： 不能栽穩桅杆， 也不能揚起篷來。 那時許多擄來的物被分了； 瘸腿的把掠物奪去了。
24 And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell in it shall be forgiven their iniquity.
城內居民必不說：我病了； 其中居住的百姓，罪孽都赦免了。
