Isaiah 66

1 This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? Or where will My place of repose be?

1 耶和华说： “天是我的宝座， 地是我的脚凳， 你们要为我造怎样的殿宇？ 哪里可作我的安歇之处？

2 Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.

2 这一切不都是我亲手创造的吗？ 这是耶和华说的。 我看顾谦卑、悔过、 对我的话心存敬畏的人。

3 Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their abominations.

3 “至于那些任意妄为、 以行可憎之事为乐的人， 他们宰牛就像杀人、 献羊羔就像打断狗颈、 献谷物就像献猪血、 烧香就像颂赞偶像，

4 So I will choose their punishment and I will bring terror upon them, because I called and no one answered, I spoke and no one listened. But they did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”

4 我必重重地惩罚他们， 使他们遭遇自己害怕的事。 因为我呼唤，无人回应； 我讲话，无人聆听。 他们做我视为恶的事， 专行令我不悦的事。”

5 You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”

5 对耶和华的话心存敬畏的人啊，要听祂的话： “你们的弟兄憎恨你们， 因为我的名而弃绝你们， 他们讥讽说， ‘愿耶和华得荣耀， 我们好看看你们的欢乐！’ 他们必受羞辱。

6 Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!

6 城中传出喧闹声， 殿中也传出声音， 这是耶和华报应祂仇敌的声音。

7 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before she was in pain, she delivered a boy.

7 “锡安还没有阵痛就分娩， 还没有感到产痛就生下男婴。

8 Who has heard of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.

8 谁曾听过看过这样的事？ 一个国家能一日而生吗？ 一个民族能在刹那间产生吗？ 然而锡安刚开始阵痛就生下了儿女。”

9 Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your God.

9 耶和华说：“我既使她临产， 难道不让她分娩吗？” 你的上帝说：“我既使她生产， 难道封闭她的胎吗？

10 Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her, all who mourn over her,

10 “所有爱耶路撒冷的人啊， 要与她一同欢喜，为她高兴。 所有为她悲哀的人啊， 要与她尽情欢乐。

11 so that you may nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you may drink deeply and delight yourselves in her glorious abundance.

11 你们必在她舒适的怀抱里得到乳养和满足， 欣然畅饮她充足的奶汁。”

12 For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm, and bounced upon her knees.

12 耶和华说： “看啊，我赐给她的平安如涛涛江河， 使万国的滚滚财富都归给她。 你们必被她抱在怀中乳养， 摇在膝上。

13 As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”

13 母亲怎样抚慰孩子， 我也怎样抚慰你们， 你们必在耶路撒冷得到安慰。”

14 When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.

14 你们见到这些事，必满心欢喜， 身体如青草一样充满活力。 耶和华必向祂的仆人彰显大能， 向祂的仇敌发怒。

15 For behold, the LORD will come with fire—His chariots are like a whirlwind—to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.

15 看啊，耶和华要在火中降临， 祂的战车好像旋风。 祂要发烈怒，用火焰惩罚。

16 For by fire and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the LORD.

16 因为耶和华要用火和剑审判世人，并杀死许多人。

17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.

17 耶和华说：“那些人奉献自己、洁净自己，一个接一个进园中祭拜偶像，又吃猪肉、老鼠及其他可憎之物，他们必一同灭亡。

18 “And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.

18 我知道他们的所作所为和所思所想。我要召集万邦万民，他们必来瞻仰我的荣耀。

19 I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim My glory among the nations.

19 我要在他们中间行神迹，我要派一些生还者到他施、普勒、路德、米设、罗施、土巴、雅完各国，以及那些没有听过我名声，也没有见过我荣耀的遥远海岛。他们必在列国传扬我的荣耀。

20 And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”

20 他们必骑着马、驾着车、坐着轿、骑着骡子或骆驼，把你们的弟兄从各国带到我的圣山耶路撒冷，作为供物献给耶和华，好像以色列人用洁净的器皿把素祭带到耶和华的殿中。这是耶和华说的。”

21 “And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.

21 耶和华说：“我要在他们中间立一些人做祭司和利未人。”

22 “For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “so your descendants and your name will endure.

22 耶和华说：“正如我造的新天新地在我面前长存， 你们的名字和后裔也必长存。

23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.

23 每逢朔日和安息日， 世人都必来敬拜我。 这是耶和华说的。

24 “As they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be quenched, and they will be a horror to all mankind.”

24 他们必出去观看那些背叛我之人的尸体， 因为咬他们的虫不会死， 烧他们的火不会灭， 世人都必厌恶他们。”
