Isaiah 57

1 The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous are taken away from the presence of evil.

1 义人死亡， 无人放在心上； 虔诚人被收去， 无人思念。 这义人被收去是免了将来的祸患；

2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.

2 他们得享 平安。 素行正直的，各人在坟里 安歇。

3 “But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!

3 你们这些巫婆的儿子， 奸夫和妓女的种子， 都要前来！

4 Whom are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,

4 你们向谁戏笑？ 向谁张口吐舌呢？ 你们岂不是悖逆的儿女， 虚谎的种类呢？

5 who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

5 你们在橡树中间，在各青翠树下欲火攻心； 在山谷间，在石穴下杀了儿女；

6 Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?

6 在谷中光滑石头里有你的分。 这些就是你所得的分； 你也向他浇了奠祭，献了供物， 因这事我岂能容忍吗？

7 On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.

7 你在高而又高的山上安设床榻， 也上那里去献祭。

8 Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.

8 你在门后，在门框后， 立起你的纪念； 向外人赤露，又上去扩张床榻， 与他们立约； 你在那里看见他们的床就甚喜爱。

9 You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself.

9 你把油带到王那里， 又多加香料， 打发使者往远方去， 自卑自贱直到阴间，

10 You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.

10 你因路远疲倦， 却不说这是枉然； 你以为有复兴之力， 所以不觉疲惫。

11 Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?

11 你怕谁？因谁恐惧？ 竟说谎，不记念我， 又不将这事放在心上。 我不是许久闭口不言， 你仍不怕我吗？

12 I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.

12 我要指明你的公义； 至于你所行的都必与你无益。

13 When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”

13 你哀求的时候， 让你所聚集的拯救你吧！ 风要把他们刮散， 一口气要把他们都吹去。 但那投靠我的必得地土， 必承受我的圣山为业。

14 And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”

14 耶和华要说： 你们修筑修筑，预备道路， 将绊脚石从我百姓的路中除掉。

15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.

15 因为那至高至上、永远长存 名为圣者的如此说： 我住在至高至圣的所在， 也与心灵痛悔谦卑的人同居； 要使谦卑人的灵苏醒， 也使痛悔人的心苏醒。

16 For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me—the breath of life I have made.

16 我必不永远相争，也不长久发怒， 恐怕我所造的人与灵性都必发昏。

17 I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.

17 因他贪婪的罪孽，我就发怒击打他； 我向他掩面发怒， 他却仍然随心背道。

18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,

18 我看见他所行的道，也要医治他； 又要引导他， 使他和那一同伤心的人再得安慰。

19 bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”

19 我造就嘴唇的果子； 愿平安康泰归与远处的人， 也归与近处的人； 并且我要医治他。 这是耶和华说的。

20 But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.

20 惟独恶人，好像翻腾的海， 不得平静； 其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥来。

21 “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

21 我的 神说：恶人必不得平安！
