Isaiah 30

1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.

1 耶和华说： “我悖逆的儿女有祸了！ 他们推行的计划并非我的心意， 他们与人结盟并非出于我的灵， 以致罪上加罪。

2 They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.

2 他们不求问我便去埃及， 要得到法老的保护， 寻求埃及的荫庇。

3 But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.

3 然而，法老的保护必成为你们的羞愧， 埃及的荫庇必成为你们的耻辱。

4 For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,

4 虽然他们的官长已在琐安， 使臣已到哈内斯，

5 everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They bring neither help nor benefit, but only shame and disgrace.”

5 但他们必因无用的埃及人而蒙羞， 那些人带不来任何助益， 只带来羞愧和耻辱。”

6 This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.

6 以下是关于南地动物的预言： 他们用驴驮着财物， 用骆驼驮着珍宝， 穿过公狮、母狮、蝮蛇和飞蛇出没的艰险之地， 前往一个对他们毫无益处的国家。

7 Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.

7 埃及的帮助是徒然的， 所以我称她为“没用的拉哈伯”。

8 Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.

8 现在，你去当着他们的面把这些话刻在版上， 记在书卷上， 永远留给后世作明证。

9 These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.

9 因为他们是悖逆的民族， 是说谎的儿女， 不肯听从耶和华的教导。

10 They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.

10 他们对先见说： “你们不要再看异象了。” 对先知说： “不要再教导我们正道。 给我们说些好听的话， 讲些虚幻的事吧。

11 Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”

11 闪开此道！离开此路！ 不要再给我们讲以色列圣者的事。”

12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,

12 因此，以色列的圣者说： “因为你们藐视我的话， 依仗欺压之能和诡诈之术，

13 this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly—in an instant!

13 你们这罪必像一堵断裂、凸起的高墙， 摇摇欲坠，瞬间倒塌，

14 It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”

14 又像瓦器一样被无情地摔碎， 找不到一块可以用来从火炉中取炭或从水池里舀水的碎片。”

15 For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence—but you were not willing.”

15 主耶和华——以色列的圣者说： “你们回转并安息，就必得拯救； 你们安静并信靠，就必得力量。 但你们却不肯。

16 “No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.

16 你们说，‘不，我们要骑马奔逃。’ 所以你们必奔逃。 你们又说，‘我们要骑快马逃跑。’ 所以追赶你们的人必疾驰如飞。

17 A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.

17 他们一人叱喝， 必吓得你们千人逃跑； 他们五人叱喝， 你们必全部逃跑， 剩下的像山顶上的旗杆、高岗上的旗帜。”

18 Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.

18 然而，耶和华正在等候， 准备施恩给你们， 祂必怜悯你们。 因为耶和华是公正的上帝， 等候祂的人有福了！

19 O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.

19 住在耶路撒冷的锡安百姓啊，你们必不再哭泣。祂听到你们的呼求后，必恩待你们；祂听见后，必应允你们。

20 The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.

20 虽然主让你们吃苦受难、历尽艰辛，但你们的教师必不再隐藏，你们必亲眼看见你们的教师。

21 And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”

21 不管你们向左还是向右，都会听见背后有声音说：“这是正路，走在上面吧！”

22 So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”

22 你们必抛弃自己那些镀金和包银的偶像，把它们当作污秽之物丢掉，对它们说：“去吧！”

23 Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.

23 你们撒种，主必降雨，并使你们五谷丰登。那时，你们的牲畜必在宽阔的草场上吃草；

24 The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.

24 耕田的牛和驴必吃用叉子和铲子扬净、拌上盐的饲料。

25 And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.

25 在你们的敌人被杀戮、城楼倒塌的日子，你们的高山冈陵上必有溪水奔流。

26 The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.

26 耶和华包扎祂子民的创伤，医治他们的伤口时，月亮必发出太阳般的光辉，太阳的光辉必增加七倍，灿烂得好像七个太阳同时发光。

27 Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.

27 看啊，耶和华的名从远方来， 伴着滚滚浓烟， 祂的怒气如烈火， 祂口中充满愤怒，舌头好像烈焰。

28 His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.

28 祂的气息像淹到人颈项的洪流。 祂必用毁灭的筛子筛净列国， 并把嚼环放在列邦口中， 引他们走上歧途。

29 You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

29 但你们必欢唱，好像晚上庆祝节期；你们必充满喜乐，好像人们吹着笛子登耶和华的山、到以色列的磐石那里。

30 And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.

30 耶和华必使人听见祂威严的声音，在愤怒、烈焰、暴雨、狂风和冰雹中让人看见祂降罚的臂膀。

31 For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.

31 亚述人听见耶和华的声音必心惊胆战，祂必用杖击打他们。

32 And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.

32 耶和华的刑杖每责打他们一下，必伴随着击鼓弹琴的声音。祂必在战场上挥手击打他们。

33 For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.

33 焚烧之地陀斐特早预备好了，是为亚述王预备的，又宽又深，堆满了火和木柴，耶和华的气息必如同一股硫磺火点燃那些木柴。
