Isaiah 47
1 “Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Kasdim. For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.
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 the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers.
要用磨磨面， 揭去帕子， 脱去长衣，露腿趟河。
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.”
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, the LORD of Hosts is his name, is 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 in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Kasdim. For you shall no longer be called the 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 was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
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 You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.
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, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the 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 But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
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 For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
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 disaster will come on you. You won’t know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You won’t be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you don’t understand.
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 “Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail.
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 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
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 Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It won’t be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by.
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 The things that you labored in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.
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。
