Isaiah 29

1 Woe to you, O Ariel, the city of Ariel where David camped! Year upon year let your festivals recur.

1 耶和华说：“亚利伊勒 ，亚利伊勒， 大卫安营的城啊！ 你有祸了！ 尽管你年复一年地守节期，

2 And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.

2 我终必叫你受苦。 你必悲伤哀号， 在我面前成为一座祭坛。

3 I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.

3 我必安营把你团团围住， 屯兵围困你， 修筑高台攻打你。

4 You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.

4 你必一败涂地， 躺在尘土中说话， 你细微的声音从土中传来， 好像地下幽灵的声音。 你必从尘埃中喃喃细语。

5 But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,

5 但你的众仇敌必像纤细的尘埃一样消散， 众多的残暴之徒必如被风刮去的糠秕。 突然，刹那之间，

6 you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.

6 万军之耶和华必带着雷轰、地震、巨响、旋风、暴风和烈火来临。

7 All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel—even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her—will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,

7 攻打、围困亚利伊勒及其堡垒的各国军队必如梦幻， 如夜间的异象一样消失。

8 as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.

8 他们好像饥饿的人梦中吃饭， 醒来仍然饥饿； 像口渴的人梦中喝水， 醒来仍然渴得发昏。 攻打锡安山的各国军队都必如此。”

9 Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink.

9 你们驻足惊奇吧！ 你们自我蒙蔽，继续瞎眼吧！ 你们醉了，但不是因为酒； 你们东倒西歪，但不是因为烈酒。

10 For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.

10 因为耶和华把沉睡的灵倾倒在你们身上， 祂封住你们的眼睛， 盖住你们的头。 你们的眼睛就是先知， 你们的头就是先见。

11 And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”

11 对你们而言，这整个启示都好像封了印的书卷。你们把书卷交给识字的人读，他会说：“我不能读，这书卷是封着的。”

12 Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”

12 你们把书卷交给不识字的人读，他会说：“我不识字。”

13 Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.

13 主说：“这些人嘴上亲近我， 他们用嘴唇尊崇我，心却远离我。 他们敬拜我不过是遵行人定的规条。

14 Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”

14 所以，我要再次行奇妙无比的事，使他们震惊。 他们智者的智慧必泯灭， 明哲的聪明必消失。”

15 Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”

15 那些向耶和华深藏计谋的人有祸了！ 他们暗中行事， 自以为谁也无从看见和知晓。

16 You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?

16 他们颠倒是非！ 窑匠岂可被看作泥土？ 受造者岂可对创造者说 “你没有造我”？ 陶器怎能对陶匠说： “你什么也不懂”？

17 In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?

17 再过不久，黎巴嫩将变成沃野， 沃野上庄稼将茂密如林。

18 On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

18 那时，耳聋的必听见那书卷上的话， 盲人的眼睛必能看穿黑暗。

19 The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

19 卑微的人必因耶和华而欢喜， 贫穷的人必因以色列的圣者而快乐。

20 For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down—

20 残暴之徒必消失， 嘲讽者必绝迹， 所有伺机作恶者必被铲除。

21 those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.

21 他们恶言诬陷人， 暗算城门口的审判官， 用谎言冤枉无辜。

22 Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.

22 因此，关于雅各家， 救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华说： “雅各的子孙必不再羞愧， 脸上再无惧色。

23 For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

23 因为他们看见我赐给他们的子孙时， 必尊我的名为圣， 必尊雅各的圣者为圣， 必敬畏以色列的上帝。

24 Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”

24 心里迷惘的必明白真理， 发怨言的必欣然受教。”
