Isaiah 8

1 Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

1 耶和华对我说：“你去拿块大的写字板，用通用的文字在上面写上‘玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯’ 。

2 And I will appoint for Myself trustworthy witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”

2 我会吩咐忠信的祭司乌利亚和耶比利迦的儿子撒迦利亚为这事做见证。”

3 And I had relations with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

3 我以赛亚与女先知同房，她就怀孕生了个儿子。耶和华对我说：“给他取名叫玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯。

4 For before the boy knows how to cry ‘Father’ or ‘Mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.”

4 因为这孩子会叫爸爸妈妈之前，亚述王必把大马士革的财富和撒玛利亚的战利品洗劫一空。”

5 And the LORD spoke to me further:

5 耶和华又对我说：

6 “Because this people has rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoiced in Rezin and the son of Remaliah,

6 “因为这些百姓厌弃西罗亚的缓缓流水，反倒因利汛和利玛利的儿子而欢喜。

7 the Lord will surely bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates—the king of Assyria and all his pomp. It will overflow its channels and overrun its banks.

7 因此，我要差来亚述王和他的军队，使他们像幼发拉底河的洪流一样汹涌而来，淹没一切水道，漫过河岸，

8 It will pour into Judah, swirling and sweeping over it, reaching up to the neck; its spreading streams will cover your entire land, O Immanuel!

8 席卷犹大，使整个犹大几遭灭顶之灾。他必展开双翼横扫你的土地。”愿上帝与我们同在！

9 Huddle together, O peoples, and be shattered; pay attention, all you distant lands; prepare for battle, and be shattered; prepare for battle, and be shattered!

9 列国啊，你们必被打垮、击溃！ 远方的人啊，你们要侧耳听！ 整装备战吧，但你们必被击垮！ 整装备战吧，但你们必被击垮！

10 Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not happen. For God is with us.”

10 你们设计谋吧，但休想得逞！ 你们定策略吧，但休想成功！ 因为上帝与我们同在。

11 For this is what the LORD has spoken to me with a strong hand, instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:

11 耶和华大能的手按在我身上，警告我不可效法这些百姓。祂说：

12 “Do not call conspiracy everything these people regard as conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear; do not live in dread.

12 “他们认为是阴谋的，你们不要认为是阴谋。他们所怕的，你们不要怕，也不要畏惧。

13 The LORD of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be dreaded.

13 你们当尊万军之耶和华为圣，当敬畏祂，惧怕祂。

14 And He will be a sanctuary—but to both houses of Israel a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, to the dwellers of Jerusalem a trap and a snare.

14 祂必作人的圣所，也要作以色列和犹大两家的绊脚石和使他们跌倒的磐石，作耶路撒冷居民的陷阱和网罗。

15 Many will stumble over these; they will fall and be broken; they will be ensnared and captured.”

15 许多人必被绊倒，摔得粉身碎骨；他们必被网罗缠住，捕获。”

16 Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples.

16 你们要在我的门徒中间把上帝的训诲卷起来，用印封好。

17 I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in Him.

17 虽然耶和华掩面不顾雅各家，但我仍要等候祂，冀望于祂。

18 Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me as signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.

18 看啊，我和耶和华赐给我的儿女在以色列是征兆和迹象。这征兆和迹象来自住在锡安山的万军之耶和华。

19 When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists who whisper and mutter, shouldn’t a people consult their God instead? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?

19 有人让你们去求问那些念念有词的巫师和术士。难道你们不该去求问你们的上帝吗？活人的事怎能求问死人呢？

20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.

20 人应该遵循耶和华的训诲和法度。人若不遵循祂的话，必看不到曙光。

21 They will roam the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged; and looking upward, they will curse their king and their God.

21 他们必困苦，饥饿，到处流浪。他们饥饿时，会怒气冲冲地扬天咒骂他们的君王，亵渎上帝。

22 Then they will look to the earth and see only distress and darkness and the gloom of anguish. And they will be driven into utter darkness.

22 他们低头看地，看到的尽是患难、痛苦和黑暗。他们必被扔进黑暗中。
