Isaiah 1

1 This is the vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

1 犹大王乌西雅、约坦、亚哈斯和希西迦执政期间，亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚看到了以下有关犹大和耶路撒冷的异象。

2 Listen, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD has spoken: “I have raised children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against Me.

2 诸天啊，请听！ 大地啊，要侧耳听！ 耶和华说： “我把孩子抚育成人， 他们竟然背叛我。

3 The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people do not understand.”

3 牛认识主人， 驴也认得主人的槽， 以色列却不认识我， 我的子民却不明白。”

4 Alas, O sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who act corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD; they have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on Him.

4 唉！这罪恶的民族， 恶贯满盈的百姓， 作恶的子孙， 败坏的儿女！ 他们背弃耶和华， 藐视以色列的圣者， 与祂疏远。

5 Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep rebelling? Your head has a massive wound, and your whole heart is afflicted.

5 你们为什么一再叛逆？ 你们为什么还要受责打？ 你们已经头破血流， 身心疲惫不堪。

6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head, there is no soundness—only wounds and welts and festering sores neither cleansed nor bandaged nor soothed with oil.

6 你们已经体无完肤， 从头到脚伤痕累累，尽是瘀肿和伤口， 没有清洗，没有包扎， 也没有敷药。

7 Your land is desolate; your cities are burned with fire. Foreigners devour your fields before you—a desolation demolished by strangers.

7 你们的土地荒凉， 城邑化为灰烬。 你们亲眼目睹自己的田园被外族人侵吞、毁坏、变成不毛之地。

8 And the Daughter of Zion is abandoned like a shelter in a vineyard, like a shack in a cucumber field, like a city besieged.

8 仅存的少女锡安也像葡萄园里的草棚， 像瓜田中的茅舍， 像被困无援的孤城。

9 Unless the LORD of Hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.

9 若不是万军之耶和华让我们一些人存活， 我们早就像所多玛和蛾摩拉一样灭亡了。

10 Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

10 你们这些所多玛的首领啊， 要聆听耶和华的话！ 你们这些蛾摩拉的百姓啊， 要侧耳听我们上帝的训诲！

11 “What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?” says the LORD. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.

11 耶和华说： “你们献上许多祭物，对我有什么用呢？ 我厌烦公绵羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂肪， 我不喜欢公牛、羊羔和公山羊的血。

12 When you come to appear before Me, who has required this of you—this trampling of My courts?

12 “你们来朝见我的时候， 谁要求你们带着这些来践踏我的院宇呢？

13 Bring your worthless offerings no more; your incense is detestable to Me. New Moons, Sabbaths, and convocations—I cannot endure iniquity in a solemn assembly.

13 不要再带毫无意义的祭物了。 我憎恶你们烧的香。 我无法容忍你们又作恶又举行庄严的聚会， 就是你们的朔日 、安息日和大会。

14 I hate your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.

14 我憎恶你们的朔日及各种节期， 它们成了我的重担， 令我厌倦。

15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.

15 你们举手祷告，我必掩面不理。 即使你们祷告再多， 我也不会听， 因为你们双手沾满鲜血。

16 Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil!

16 你们要洗净自己， 不要让我再看见你们的恶行， 要停止作恶。

17 Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.”

17 你们要学习行善， 追求正义， 帮助受欺压的， 替孤儿辩护， 为寡妇申冤。”

18 “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.

18 耶和华说： “来吧，我们彼此理论！ 你们的罪虽如朱红， 也必洁白如雪； 你们的罪虽如绯红， 也必白如羊毛。

19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.

19 如果你们愿意听从， 就必享用这地方的美好出产。

20 But if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

20 如果你们执意叛逆， 就必丧身刀下。” 这是耶和华亲口说的。

21 See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness resided within her, but now only murderers!

21 忠信的城竟变成了妓女！ 从前充满公平， 是公义之家， 现在却住着凶手。

22 Your silver has become dross; your fine wine is diluted with water.

22 你的银子变为渣滓； 你的美酒掺了水分。

23 Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the plea of the widow never comes before them.

23 你的首领是叛逆之徒， 与盗贼为伍， 个个喜爱贿赂， 贪图好处， 不为孤儿辩护， 不替寡妇申冤。

24 Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: “Ah, I will be relieved of My foes and avenge Myself on My enemies.

24 所以，主——万军之耶和华， 以色列的大能者说： “唉！我要向我的敌人报仇， 向我的仇敌雪恨。

25 I will turn My hand against you; I will thoroughly purge your dross; I will remove all your impurities.

25 我必出手攻击你， 用碱炼净你的渣滓， 除尽你的杂质。

26 I will restore your judges as at first, and your counselors as at the beginning. After that you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.”

26 我必像从前一样恢复你的审判官， 像起初一样恢复你的谋士。 之后，你必被称为公义之城， 忠信之邑。”

27 Zion will be redeemed with justice, her repentant ones with righteousness.

27 耶和华必因祂的公正救赎锡安， 必因祂的公义拯救城中悔改的人。

28 But rebels and sinners will together be shattered, and those who forsake the LORD will perish.

28 但叛逆之辈和犯罪之徒必同遭毁灭， 背弃耶和华的人必灭亡。

29 Surely you will be ashamed of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be embarrassed by the gardens that you have chosen.

29 你们必因所喜爱的圣橡树而抱愧， 必因所选择的偶像园而蒙羞。

30 For you will become like an oak whose leaves are withered, like a garden without water.

30 你们必像叶子枯萎的橡树， 又如无水的园子。

31 The strong man will become tinder and his work will be a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the flames.

31 有权势的人像麻绒，他的行为如火花， 两者要一同焚毁，无人能救。
