Isaiah 65

1 “I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’

1 耶和华说：“我向没有求问我的人显现， 让没有寻找我的人寻见， 对没有求告我名的国家说， ‘我在这里，我在这里！’

2 All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,

2 我整天伸出双手招呼那悖逆的子民， 他们却任意妄为， 不走正路。

3 to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,

3 他们不断地当面惹我发怒。 在园中献祭， 在砖台上烧香。

4 sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.

4 他们坐在坟场里， 宿在隐秘处。 他们吃猪肉， 锅里有不洁之物做的汤。

5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.

5 他们对人说，‘站远点， 别挨近我，因为我比你圣洁！’ 我被这些人气得鼻孔冒烟， 整天怒火难息。

6 Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,

6–7 看啊，这些都记录在我面前， 我不会再保持缄默， 我要报应他们， 按他们和他们祖先的罪报应他们。 我必按他们之前的所作所为报应他们， 因为他们在山上烧香， 在丘陵上亵渎我。 这是耶和华说的。”

7 both for your iniquities and for those of your fathers,” says the LORD. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and scorned Me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their former deeds.”

8 This is what the LORD says: “As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes, and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’ so I will act on behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all.

8 耶和华说：“人发现一串葡萄尚可酿造新酒时， 一定会说，‘不要毁坏它， 里面还有好葡萄。’ 同样，因我仆人的缘故， 我也不会把他们全部毁灭。

9 And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and heirs from Judah; My elect will possess My mountains, and My servants will dwell there.

9 “我必使雅各的后裔兴起， 使犹大人兴起， 继承我的群山。 我拣选的子民必拥有那片土地， 我的仆人必在那里安居。

10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for My people who seek Me.

10 沙仑必成为牧放羊群的草场， 亚割谷必成为牛群休憩的地方， 这些地方必属于寻求我的人。

11 But you who forsake the LORD, who forget My holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,

11 至于你们这些背弃我耶和华、 忘记我的圣山、 摆宴供奉幸运之神、 斟满调和酒祭奠命运之神的人，

12 I will destine you for the sword, and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not listen; you did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”

12 我要使你们注定被杀， 你们都要丧身刀下。 因为我呼唤你们，你们不回应； 我讲话，你们不聆听。 你们做我视为恶的事， 专行令我不悦的事。”

13 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

13 所以主耶和华说： “看啊，我的仆人必有吃有喝， 你们却要饥渴交加； 我的仆人必欢喜， 你们却要受羞辱；

14 My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.

14 我的仆人因心里欢喜而歌唱， 你们却因心里悲伤而哭喊， 因伤心欲绝而嚎啕大哭。

15 You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name.

15 我的选民必用你们的名字作咒诅， 主耶和华必杀死你们， 给祂的仆人另起名字。

16 Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.

16 因此，在地上求福祉的人都必向信实的上帝祈求， 在地上起誓的人都必凭信实的上帝起誓。 因为过去的苦难已经被遗忘， 从我眼前消失了。

17 For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

17 “看啊，我要创造新天新地， 过去的一切都要被遗忘， 从记忆中消失。

18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.

18 你们要因我的创造而永远欢喜快乐。 看啊，我要造充满喜乐的耶路撒冷， 在城中造欢乐的居民。

19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.

19 我必因耶路撒冷而欢喜， 因我的子民而快乐。 城里再听不见哭泣和哀号声。

20 No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.

20 再没有只活几天便夭折的婴儿， 也没有寿数未满便去世的老人， 因为满了百岁而终的人不过算是青年， 寿数不足百岁的人被视为受了咒诅。

21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

21 他们要建造房屋居住， 栽种葡萄园，吃园中的果子。

22 No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.

22 他们建的房屋再不会被别人居住， 他们种的果实再不会被别人享用。 我的子民必像树木一样长寿， 我拣选的人必长享自己亲手劳碌的成果。

23 They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD—they and their descendants with them.

23 他们不会徒劳， 他们生的孩子也不会遇到灾祸， 因为他们及其子孙是蒙耶和华赐福的后裔。

24 Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

24 他们还没有求告， 我就已经应允； 他们正在祷告， 我就已经垂听。

25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,” says the LORD.

25 豺狼和绵羊必一起吃草， 狮子必像牛一样吃草， 蛇必以尘土为食。 在我的整个圣山上， 它们都不伤人，不害物。 这是耶和华说的。”
