Isaiah 10

1 Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and issue oppressive decrees,

1–2 制定不义律例、起草不公法令的人啊， 你们有祸了！ 你们冤枉穷人， 夺去我子民中困苦者的权利， 掳掠寡妇，抢劫孤儿。

2 to deprive the poor of fair treatment and withhold justice from the oppressed of My people, to make widows their prey and orphans their plunder.

3 What will you do on the day of reckoning when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?

3 在惩罚的日子， 当灾祸从远方临到你们头上时， 你们怎么办？ 你们能跑到谁那里去求救呢？ 你们能把财物藏在哪里呢？

4 Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

4 你们将不是卷缩在被掳的人中， 就是倒在被杀的人中。 虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还没有止息， 祂降罚的手仍没有收回。

5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger; the staff in their hands is My wrath.

5 耶和华说：“亚述有祸了！ 他是我的愤怒之棍， 他手中拿着我发烈怒的杖。

6 I will send him against a godless nation; I will dispatch him against a people destined for My rage, to take spoils and seize plunder, and to trample them down like clay in the streets.

6 我派他去攻打一个不虔敬的国家， 我命他去攻击一个惹我发怒的民族， 去抢夺、掳掠他们的财物， 像践踏街上的泥土一样践踏他们。

7 But this is not his intention; this is not his plan. For it is in his heart to destroy and cut off many nations.

7 可是他却不这样想， 心里也不这样盘算， 他只想毁灭和铲除许多国家。

8 “Are not all my commanders kings?” he says.

8 他说，‘我的臣仆岂不都是王吗！

9 “Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?

9 迦勒挪岂不是和迦基米施一样吗？ 哈马岂不是和亚珥拔一样吗？ 撒玛利亚岂不是和大马士革一样吗？

10 As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms whose images surpassed those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

10 这些偶像之国都在我的手中， 他们雕刻的偶像胜过耶路撒冷和撒玛利亚的偶像。

11 and as I have done to Samaria and its idols, will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”

11 我岂不像毁灭撒玛利亚和它的偶像那样， 毁灭耶路撒冷和它的偶像吗？’”

12 So when the Lord has completed all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.

12 主完成在锡安山和耶路撒冷要做的事后，必惩罚心里狂妄、眼目高傲的亚述王。

13 For he says: ‘By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, for I am clever. I have removed the boundaries of nations and plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their rulers.

13 因为亚述王说： “我靠自己的力量和智慧成就了此事， 因为我很聪明。 我废除列国的疆界， 掳掠他们的财物， 像勇士一样征服他们的君王。

14 My hand reached as into a nest to seize the wealth of the nations. Like one gathering abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth. No wing fluttered, no beak opened or chirped.’”

14 我夺取列国的财物， 好像探囊取物； 我征服天下， 不过是手到擒来； 无人反抗，无人吭声。”

15 Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!

15 然而，斧头怎能向挥斧的人自夸呢？ 锯子怎能向用锯的人炫耀呢？ 难道棍子可以挥动举它的人吗？ 难道手杖可以举起它的主人吗？

16 Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts will send a wasting disease among Assyria’s stout warriors, and under his pomp will be kindled a fire like a burning flame.

16 因此，主——万军之耶和华必使亚述王强健的士兵疾病缠身， 使火焰吞噬他的荣耀。

17 And the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One a flame. In a single day it will burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and thistles.

17 以色列的光必成为火焰， 他们的圣者必成为烈火， 一日之间烧光亚述王的荆棘和蒺藜。

18 The splendor of its forests and orchards, both soul and body, it will completely destroy, as a sickness consumes a man.

18 他茂盛的树林和肥美的田园必被彻底摧毁， 犹如病人渐渐消亡。

19 The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.

19 林中剩下的树木稀少， 连小孩子也能数清。

20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.

20 到那日，以色列的余民，雅各家的幸存者，将不再倚靠击打他们的亚述，他们将真心倚靠以色列的圣者耶和华，

21 A remnant will return—a remnant of Jacob—to the Mighty God.

21 一些余民必归回， 雅各的余民必归向大能的上帝。

22 Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.

22 以色列啊，你的人民虽多如海沙，将只有剩余的人归回。充满公义的毁灭之事已定。

23 For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.

23 因为主——万军之耶和华必按所定的在整个大地上施行毁灭。

24 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, who strikes you with a rod and lifts his staff against you as the Egyptians did.

24 因此，主——万军之耶和华说：“我锡安的子民啊，虽然亚述人像埃及人一样挥舞着棍棒毒打你们，你们不要惧怕。

25 For in just a little while My fury against you will subside, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”

25 因为很快我就不再向你们发怒，我要向他们发怒，毁灭他们。”

26 And the LORD of Hosts will brandish a whip against them, as when He struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt.

26 万军之耶和华要鞭打他们，就像在俄立磐石击杀米甸人。祂的杖必像在埃及一样向海伸出，惩罚他们。

27 On that day the burden will be lifted from your shoulders, and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because your neck will be too large.

27 到那日，祂必除去亚述人加在你们肩头的重担和颈上的轭；那轭必因你们肥壮而折断。

28 Assyria has entered Aiath and passed through Migron, storing their supplies at Michmash.

28 亚述大军攻占了亚叶， 穿过米矶仑， 把辎重存放在密抹。

29 They have crossed at the ford: “We will spend the night at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.

29 他们过了关口， 在迦巴宿营。 拉玛人战战兢兢， 扫罗的基比亚乡亲仓皇逃跑。

30 Cry aloud, O Daughter of Gallim! Listen, O Laishah! O wretched Anathoth!

30 迦琳人啊，高声喊叫吧！ 莱煞人啊，可怜的亚拿突人啊， 留心听吧！

31 Madmenah flees; the people of Gebim take refuge.

31 玛得米纳人逃跑， 基柄的居民躲藏。

32 Yet today they will halt at Nob, shaking a fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.

32 那时，亚述王必屯兵挪伯， 向着少女锡安的山岭， 向着耶路撒冷的山丘摩拳擦掌。

33 Behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts will lop off the branches with terrifying power. The tall trees will be cut down, the lofty ones will be felled.

33 看啊，主——万军之耶和华要以大能削去树枝。 高大的树必被斩断， 挺拔的大树必被砍倒。

34 He will clear the forest thickets with an axe, and Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.

34 祂必用斧子砍倒茂密的树林， 黎巴嫩的树木也要倒在大能的上帝面前。
