Isaiah 33

1 Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed. When you have finished betraying, you will be betrayed.

1 你们这些毁灭别人、自己还未被毁灭的人有祸了！ 等你们毁灭完了，必毁灭你们。 你们这些欺诈别人、自己还未被欺诈的人有祸了！ 等你们欺诈完了，必欺诈你们。

2 O LORD, be gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of trouble.

2 耶和华啊，求你施恩给我们， 我们等候你。 求你每天早晨都作我们的力量， 在艰难的时候拯救我们。

3 The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice; the nations scatter when You rise.

3 你大喊一声，列邦都奔逃； 你挺身而出，列国都溃散。

4 Your spoil, O nations, is gathered as by locusts; like a swarm of locusts men sweep over it.

4 他们的战利品必被抢光， 犹如谷物被蝗虫吃光； 人们像蝗虫一样扑向战利品。

5 The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

5 耶和华受尊崇， 因为祂住在高天之上， 祂必使锡安充满公平和公义。

6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.

6 祂是你一生的保障， 使你得到丰盛的救恩、智慧和知识。 敬畏耶和华是你的宝藏。

7 Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.

7 看啊，他们的勇士在街上哀号， 求和的使者痛哭。

8 The highways are deserted; travel has ceased. The treaty has been broken, the witnesses are despised, and human life is disregarded.

8 大路荒凉，行人绝迹。 条约被废，城邑被弃， 人被藐视。

9 The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is ashamed and decayed. Sharon is like a desert; Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.

9 大地枯竭衰残， 黎巴嫩的树木羞惭枯干， 沙仑好像旷野， 巴珊和迦密的树叶凋零。

10 “Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.

10 耶和华说： “现在我要起来， 我要施展大能， 我要得到尊崇。

11 You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will consume you.

11 你们怀的是糠秕， 生的是碎秸， 你们的气息是烧灭自己的火。

12 The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.

12 列邦必被烧成灰烬， 好像割下的荆棘被火焚烧。”

13 You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”

13 远方的人啊， 要听听我的作为。 近处的人啊， 要承认我的大能。

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”

14 锡安的罪人恐惧， 不敬虔的人颤抖。 他们说：“我们谁能与烈火同住？ 谁能与永不止息的火焰同住？”

15 He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, who refuses gain from extortion, whose hand never takes a bribe, who stops his ears against murderous plots and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—

15 秉公行义、说话正直、 憎恶不义之财、摆手不受贿赂、 掩耳不听害人之谋、 闭眼不看邪恶之事的人，

16 he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided and his water assured.

16 必住在高处， 他们的堡垒是坚固的磐石， 他们必不会绝粮断水。

17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and behold a land that stretches afar.

17 你们必目睹君王的荣美， 看到辽阔的土地。

18 Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”

18 你们心里必思想以往可怕的情景， 说：“登记的在哪里？ 收贡银的在哪里？ 数城楼的在哪里？”

19 You will no longer see the insolent, a people whose speech is unintelligible, who stammer in a language you cannot understand.

19 你们再也看不见那些残暴之徒了， 他们说话深奥难解， 他们讲话奇怪难懂。

20 Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.

20 你们看我们在其中守节期的锡安城！ 你们必看见耶路撒冷成为安宁之地， 是永不挪移的帐篷， 橛子永不拔出， 绳索也不会断。

21 But there the Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no galley with oars will row, and no majestic vessel will pass.

21 在那里，威严的耶和华必作保护我们的巨川大河。 摇桨的小舟不能驶入， 威严的战船无法越过。

22 For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.

22 因为耶和华是我们的审判官， 是我们的立法者， 是我们的君王， 祂必拯救我们。

23 Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder.

23 敌人的帆索松开， 桅杆晃动不稳， 风帆无法扬起。 那时，大量战利品将被瓜分， 甚至瘸腿的都分得一份。

24 And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.

24 耶路撒冷必没有居民说 “我生病了”， 城中百姓的罪恶必得到赦免。
