Isaiah 26

1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation is established as its walls and ramparts.

1 到那日，犹大境内的人必唱这首歌： “我们有一座坚城， 耶和华使祂的拯救成为保护我们的城墙和屏障。

2 Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter—one that remains faithful.

2 打开城门， 让忠信的公义之民进来。

3 You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You.

3 你使坚信不移的人全然平安， 因为他们信靠你。

4 Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.

4 要永远信靠耶和华， 因为耶和华上帝是永远屹立的磐石。

5 For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust.

5 祂贬抑高傲的人， 拆毁他们高耸的城邑， 把它们夷为平地、化为尘土，

6 Feet trample it down—the feet of the oppressed, the steps of the poor.

6 被困苦人的脚践踏，被贫穷人的足踩踏。”

7 The path of the righteous is level; You clear a straight path for the upright.

7 义人的道路是平坦的， 公正的主啊，你必修平义人所走的道路。

8 Yes, we wait for You, O LORD; we walk in the path of Your judgments. Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.

8 耶和华啊，我们在你行审判的路上等候你， 我们心里渴慕你的尊名和威望。

9 My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

9 在夜间，我的心思慕你， 我的灵切切地寻求你。 你在世上施行审判的时候， 世人就学习行义。

10 Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD.

10 虽然你恩待恶人， 他们却仍然不学习行义。 即使在公正之地， 他们依然作恶， 全不把耶和华的威严放在眼里。

11 O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal for Your people and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will consume them!

11 耶和华啊，你的手高高举起， 他们却看不见。 愿他们因看见你向你子民所发的热心而感到羞愧。 愿你为敌人预备的火烧灭他们。

12 O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.

12 耶和华啊，你必赐我们平安， 因为我们所做的事都是你为我们成就的。

13 O LORD our God, other lords besides You have ruled over us, but Your name alone do we confess.

13 我们的上帝耶和华啊！ 除你以外曾有别的主人管辖我们， 但我们只尊崇你的名。

14 The dead will not live; the departed spirits will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them; You have wiped out all memory of them.

14 他们都已死去，再不能复生， 逝去的灵魂不能再回来。 因此你惩罚他们，毁灭他们， 使他们被人彻底遗忘。

15 You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; You have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for Yourself; You have extended all the borders of the land.

15 耶和华啊，你增添我们的国民， 增添我们的国民， 扩张我们的疆界， 你得到了荣耀。

16 O LORD, they sought You in their distress; when You disciplined them, they poured out a quiet prayer.

16 耶和华啊，我们在危难中寻求你。 你管教我们的时候， 我们就向你低声祷告。

17 As a woman with child about to give birth writhes and cries out in pain, so were we in Your presence, O LORD.

17 耶和华啊，我们曾在你面前呼求， 如临产的妇人在阵痛中呼喊。

18 We were with child; we writhed in pain; but we gave birth to wind. We have given no salvation to the earth, nor brought any life into the world.

18 我们曾怀胎，经历产痛， 但产下来的却是风。 我们没有给世界带来拯救， 也没有给世上带来生命。

19 Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For your dew is like the dew of the morning, and the earth will bring forth her dead.

19 然而，属你的逝者必复活， 他们的尸体必站起来。 睡在尘土中的人啊，要醒来欢唱！ 你的甘露如清晨的甘露， 使地下的死人重获生机。

20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed.

20 我的百姓啊， 回到你们的房子里， 关上门躲藏一会儿， 等耶和华的愤怒平息。

21 For behold, the LORD is coming out of His dwelling to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will reveal her bloodshed and will no longer conceal her slain.

21 看啊，耶和华要走出祂的居所， 惩罚世上犯罪的人。 大地必不再隐藏被杀之人的尸首， 必将流在地上的血显露出来。
