Isaiah 32

1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.

1 看哪，必有一王憑公義行政； 必有首領藉公平掌權。

2 Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land.

2 必有一人像避風所和避暴雨的隱密處， 又像河流在乾旱之地， 像大磐石的影子在疲乏之地。

3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.

3 那能看的人，眼不再昏迷； 能聽的人，耳必得聽聞。

4 The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.

4 冒失人的心必明白知識； 結吧人的舌必說話通快。

5 No longer will a fool be called noble, nor a scoundrel be respected.

5 愚頑人不再稱為高明； 吝嗇人不再稱為大方。

6 For a fool speaks foolishness; his mind plots iniquity. He practices ungodliness and speaks falsely about the LORD; he leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.

6 因為愚頑人必說愚頑話， 心裏想作罪孽， 慣行褻瀆的事， 說錯謬的話攻擊耶和華， 使飢餓的人無食可吃， 使口渴的人無水可喝。

7 The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.

7 吝嗇人所用的法子是惡的； 他圖謀惡計， 用謊言毀滅謙卑人； 窮乏人講公理的時候， 他也是這樣行。

8 But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.

8 高明人卻謀高明事， 在高明事上也必永存。

9 Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters.

9 安逸的婦女啊，起來聽我的聲音！ 無慮的女子啊，側耳聽我的言語！

10 In a little more than a year you will tremble, O secure ones. For the grape harvest will fail and the fruit harvest will not arrive.

10 無慮的女子啊，再過一年多，必受騷擾； 因為無葡萄可摘， 無果子 可收。

11 Shudder, you ladies of leisure; tremble, you daughters of complacency. Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.

11 安逸的婦女啊，要戰兢； 無慮的女子啊，要受騷擾。 脫去衣服，赤着身體， 腰束麻布。

12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines,

12 她們必為美好的田地 和多結果的葡萄樹，搥胸哀哭。

13 and for the land of my people, overgrown with thorns and briers—even for every house of merriment in this city of revelry.

13 荊棘蒺藜必長在我百姓的地上， 又長在歡樂的城中和一切快樂的房屋上。

14 For the palace will be forsaken, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become caves forever—the delight of wild donkeys and a pasture for flocks—

14 因為宮殿必被撇下， 多民的城必被離棄； 山岡望樓永為洞穴， 作野驢所喜樂的， 為羊群的草場。

15 until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high. Then the desert will be an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.

15 等到聖靈從上澆灌我們， 曠野就變為肥田， 肥田看如樹林。

16 Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.

16 那時，公平要居在曠野； 公義要居在肥田。

17 The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.

17 公義的果效必是平安； 公義的效驗必是平穩，直到永遠。

18 Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.

18 我的百姓必住在平安的居所， 安穩的住處，平靜的安歇所。

19 But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink to the depths.

19 （ 但要降冰雹打倒樹林； 城必全然拆平。）

20 Blessed are those who sow beside abundant waters, who let the ox and donkey range freely.

20 你們在各水邊撒種、 牧放牛驢的有福了！
