Isaiah 3

1 For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,

1 主－萬軍之耶和華從耶路撒冷和猶大， 除掉眾人所倚靠的，所仗賴的， 就是所倚靠的糧，所仗賴的水；

2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,

2 除掉勇士和戰士， 審判官和先知， 占卜的和長老，

3 the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.

3 五十夫長和尊貴人， 謀士和有巧藝的， 以及妙行法術的。

4 “I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”

4 主說：我必使孩童作他們的首領， 使嬰孩轄管他們。

5 The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.

5 百姓要彼此欺壓； 各人受鄰舍的欺壓。 少年人必侮慢老年人； 卑賤人必侮慢尊貴人。

6 A man will seize his brother within his father’s house: “You have a cloak—you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of rubble.”

6 人在父家拉住弟兄，說： 你有衣服，可以作我們的官長。 這敗落的事歸在你手下吧！

7 On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”

7 那時，他必揚聲說： 我不作醫治你們的人； 因我家中沒有糧食，也沒有衣服， 你們不可立我作百姓的官長。

8 For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.

8 耶路撒冷敗落， 猶大傾倒； 因為他們的舌頭和行為與耶和華反對， 惹了他榮光的眼目。

9 The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.

9 他們的面色證明自己的不正； 他們述說自己的罪惡，並不隱瞞， 好像所多瑪一樣。 他們有禍了！因為作惡自害。

10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.

10 你們要論義人說：他必享福樂， 因為要吃自己行為所結的果子。

11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.

11 惡人有禍了！他必遭災難！ 因為要照自己手所行的受報應。

12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.

12 至於我的百姓， 孩童欺壓他們， 婦女轄管他們。 我的百姓啊，引導你的使你走錯， 並毀壞你所行的道路。

13 The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.

13 耶和華起來辯論， 站着審判眾民。

14 The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

14 耶和華必審問他民中的長老和首領，說： 吃盡葡萄園果子的就是你們； 向貧窮人所奪的都在你們家中。

15 Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

15 主－萬軍之耶和華說： 你們為何壓制我的百姓， 搓磨貧窮人的臉呢？

16 The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty—walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—

16 耶和華又說： 因為錫安的女子狂傲， 行走挺項，賣弄眼目， 俏步徐行，腳下玎璫，

17 the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”

17 所以，主必使錫安的女子頭長禿瘡； 耶和華又使她們赤露下體。

18 In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;

18 到那日，主必除掉她們華美的腳釧、髮網、月牙圈、

19 their pendants, bracelets, and veils;

19 耳環、手鐲、蒙臉的帕子、

20 their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;

20 華冠、足鍊、華帶、香盒、符囊、

21 their signet rings and nose rings;

21 戒指、鼻環、

22 their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses;

22 吉服、外套、雲肩、荷包、

23 and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.

23 手鏡、細麻衣、裹頭巾、蒙身的帕子。

24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.

24 必有臭爛代替馨香， 繩子代替腰帶， 光禿代替美髮， 麻衣繫腰代替華服， 烙傷代替美容。

25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.

25 你的男丁必倒在刀下； 你的勇士必死在陣上。

26 And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.

26 錫安 的城門必悲傷、哀號； 她必荒涼坐在地上。
