以赛亚书 1

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

責備子民

1 在烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯和希西家作猶大王的時候，亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞看見異象，是關於猶大和耶路撒冷的：

²諸天哪！要聽。大地啊！要留心聽。

因為耶和華說：

“我把孩子養育，使他們成長，

他們卻背叛了我。

³牛認識主人，

驢認識主人的槽；

以色列卻不認識我，

我的子民不明白我。”

⁴嗐！犯罪的國，

罪孽深重的子民，

行惡的子孫，

敗壞的兒女！

他們離棄了耶和華，

藐視以色列的聖者，

他們轉離了他。

⁵你們為甚麼屢次悖逆，

還要受責打嗎？

你們整個頭都受了傷，

整個心都發昏了。

⁶從腳掌到頭頂，沒有一處是完全的；

盡是創傷、鞭痕和流血的傷口；

沒有擠乾淨傷口，沒有包紮，

也沒有用膏油滋潤。

⁷你們的土地荒涼，

你們的城鎮被火燒毀，

你們的田地，在你們面前給外族人侵吞；

被外族人傾覆之後，就荒涼了。

⁸僅存的錫安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”），

好像葡萄園中的草棚，

瓜田裡的茅屋，

被圍困的城鎮。

⁹若不是萬軍之耶和華

給我們留下一些生還者，

我們早已像所多瑪、

蛾摩拉一樣了。

一面守節，一面犯罪

¹⁰你們這些所多瑪的官長啊！要聽耶和華的話；

你們這些蛾摩拉的人民啊！要側耳聽我們　神的教訓。

¹¹耶和華說：“你們獻上眾多祭物，

對我有甚麼益處呢？

公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂肪，我已經夠了；

公牛、羊羔和公山羊的血，我都不喜悅。

¹²你們來朝見我的時候，

誰要求你們這樣踐踏我的院子呢？

¹³不要再帶沒有意義的供物來了，

燒獻祭物的香氣也是我厭惡的。

我厭煩月朔、安息日和集會；

作罪孽又守嚴肅會，是我不能容忍的。

¹⁴你們的月朔和制定的節期，我心裡恨惡；

它們都成了我的重擔，

我已承擔得不耐煩了。

¹⁵所以你們張開雙手的時候，

我必掩眼不看你們；

即使你們多多禱告，

我也不聽；

你們的手都沾滿血腥。

務要除惡行善

¹⁶你們要洗滌自己，潔淨自己；

從我眼前除掉你們的惡行；

要停止作惡，

¹⁷學習行善，

尋求公平，

指責殘暴的人，

替孤兒伸冤，

為寡婦辨屈。”

¹⁸耶和華說：“你們來，我們彼此辯論；

你們的罪雖像硃紅，

必變成雪白；

雖紅如丹顏，

必白如羊毛。

¹⁹你們若願意聽從，

就必得吃地上的美物；

²⁰你們若不聽從，反而悖逆，

就必被刀劍吞滅。”

這是耶和華親口說的。

聖城的罪惡

²¹那忠貞的城，怎麼會變成妓女！

她從前充滿公平，

有公義居在其中，

現在卻有兇手居住。

²²你的銀子變成了渣滓，

你的酒用水攙混。

²³你的官長存心悖逆，

與盜賊同夥；

人都貪愛賄賂，

追索私酬；

他們不替孤兒伸冤，

寡婦的案件也呈不到他們面前。

若悔改必得救贖

²⁴因此，主萬軍之耶和華，

以色列的大能者說：

“哎！我要向我的對頭雪恨，

向我的仇敵報復。

²⁵我必把手轉過來攻擊你；

我要煉除你的渣滓，如同用鹼來煉一樣，

我要除去你的一切雜質。

²⁶我必恢復你的審判官，像起初一樣；

也必恢復你的謀士，像起先一般；

以後，你必稱為公義的城、

忠貞的城。”

²⁷錫安必因公平蒙救贖，

城中悔改的人也必因公義蒙救贖。

²⁸但悖逆的和犯罪的，必一同滅亡，

離棄耶和華的，也必滅亡。

²⁹你們必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧，

必因你們所選擇的園子蒙羞。

³⁰因為你們必像一棵葉子凋落的橡樹，

又如一個缺水的園子。

³¹有權勢的必如麻絮，

他所作的好像火星；

都要一同焚毀，

沒有人能撲滅。

Isaiah 1

New International Version

1 The vision^(A) concerning Judah and Jerusalem^(B) that Isaiah son of Amoz saw^(C) during the reigns of Uzziah,^(D) Jotham,^(E) Ahaz^(F) and Hezekiah,^(G) kings of Judah.

A Rebellious Nation

²Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!^(H)
    For the Lord has spoken:^(I)
“I reared children^(J) and brought them up,
    but they have rebelled^(K) against me.
³The ox knows^(L) its master,
    the donkey its owner’s manger,^(M)
but Israel does not know,^(N)
    my people do not understand.^(O)”

⁴Woe to the sinful nation,
    a people whose guilt is great,^(P)
a brood of evildoers,^(Q)
    children given to corruption!^(R)
They have forsaken^(S) the Lord;
    they have spurned the Holy One^(T) of Israel
    and turned their backs^(U) on him.

⁵Why should you be beaten^(V) anymore?
    Why do you persist^(W) in rebellion?^(X)
Your whole head is injured,
    your whole heart^(Y) afflicted.^(Z)
⁶From the sole of your foot to the top of your head^(AA)
    there is no soundness^(AB)—
only wounds and welts^(AC)
    and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged^(AD)
    or soothed with olive oil.^(AE)

⁷Your country is desolate,^(AF)
    your cities burned with fire;^(AG)
your fields are being stripped by foreigners^(AH)
    right before you,
    laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.^(AI)
⁸Daughter Zion^(AJ) is left^(AK)
    like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut^(AL) in a cucumber field,
    like a city under siege.
⁹Unless the Lord Almighty
    had left us some survivors,^(AM)
we would have become like Sodom,
    we would have been like Gomorrah.^(AN)

¹⁰Hear the word of the Lord,^(AO)
    you rulers of Sodom;^(AP)
listen to the instruction^(AQ) of our God,
    you people of Gomorrah!^(AR)
¹¹“The multitude of your sacrifices—
    what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
    of rams and the fat of fattened animals;^(AS)
I have no pleasure^(AT)
    in the blood of bulls^(AU) and lambs and goats.^(AV)
¹²When you come to appear before me,
    who has asked this of you,^(AW)
    this trampling of my courts?
¹³Stop bringing meaningless offerings!^(AX)
    Your incense^(AY) is detestable^(AZ) to me.
New Moons,^(BA) Sabbaths and convocations^(BB)—
    I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
¹⁴Your New Moon^(BC) feasts and your appointed festivals^(BD)
    I hate with all my being.^(BE)
They have become a burden to me;^(BF)
    I am weary^(BG) of bearing them.
¹⁵When you spread out your hands^(BH) in prayer,
    I hide^(BI) my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
    I am not listening.^(BJ)

Your hands^(BK) are full of blood!^(BL)

¹⁶Wash^(BM) and make yourselves clean.
    Take your evil deeds out of my sight;^(BN)
    stop doing wrong.^(BO)
¹⁷Learn to do right;^(BP) seek justice.^(BQ)
    Defend the oppressed.^[a]^(BR)
Take up the cause of the fatherless;^(BS)
    plead the case of the widow.^(BT)

¹⁸“Come now, let us settle the matter,”^(BU)
    says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be as white as snow;^(BV)
though they are red as crimson,
    they shall be like wool.^(BW)
¹⁹If you are willing and obedient,^(BX)
    you will eat the good things of the land;^(BY)
²⁰but if you resist and rebel,^(BZ)
    you will be devoured by the sword.”^(CA)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.^(CB)

²¹See how the faithful city
    has become a prostitute!^(CC)
She once was full of justice;
    righteousness^(CD) used to dwell in her—
    but now murderers!^(CE)
²²Your silver has become dross,^(CF)
    your choice wine is diluted with water.
²³Your rulers are rebels,^(CG)
    partners with thieves;^(CH)
they all love bribes^(CI)
    and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
    the widow’s case does not come before them.^(CJ)

²⁴Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    the Mighty One^(CK) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
    and avenge^(CL) myself on my enemies.^(CM)
²⁵I will turn my hand against you;^[b]^(CN)
    I will thoroughly purge^(CO) away your dross^(CP)
    and remove all your impurities.^(CQ)
²⁶I will restore your leaders as in days of old,^(CR)
    your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called^(CS)
    the City of Righteousness,^(CT)
    the Faithful City.^(CU)”

²⁷Zion will be delivered with justice,
her penitent^(CV) ones with righteousness.^(CW)
²⁸But rebels and sinners^(CX) will both be broken,
and those who forsake^(CY) the Lord will perish.^(CZ)

²⁹“You will be ashamed^(DA) because of the sacred oaks^(DB)
    in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens^(DC)
    that you have chosen.
³⁰You will be like an oak with fading leaves,^(DD)
    like a garden without water.
³¹The mighty man will become tinder
    and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
    with no one to quench the fire.^(DE)”

Isaiah 1

English Standard Version

1 The ^(A)vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem ^(B)in the days of ^(C)Uzziah, ^(D)Jotham, ^(E)Ahaz, and ^(F)Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

The Wickedness of Judah

²^(G)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O ^(H)earth;
    for the Lord has spoken:
“Children^[a] ^(I)have I reared and brought up,
    but they have rebelled against me.
³The ox ^(J)knows its owner,
    and the donkey its master's crib,
but Israel does ^(K)not know,
    my people do not understand.”

⁴Ah, sinful nation,
    a people laden with iniquity,
^(L)offspring of evildoers,
    children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
    they have ^(M)despised ^(N)the Holy One of Israel,
    they are utterly ^(O)estranged.

⁵Why will you still be ^(P)struck down?
    Why will you ^(Q)continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
    and the whole heart faint.
⁶^(R)From the sole of the foot even to the head,
    there is no soundness in it,
but bruises and sores
    and raw wounds;
they are ^(S)not pressed out or bound up
    or softened with oil.

⁷^(T)Your country lies desolate;
    your cities are burned with fire;
in your very presence
    foreigners devour your land;
    it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.
⁸And ^(U)the daughter of Zion is left
    like a ^(V)booth in a vineyard,
like a lodge in a cucumber field,
    like a besieged city.

⁹^(W)If the Lord of hosts
had not left us ^(X)a few survivors,
we should have been like ^(Y)Sodom,
and become like ^(Z)Gomorrah.

¹⁰Hear the word of the Lord,
    you rulers of ^(AA)^(AB)Sodom!
Give ear to the teaching^[b] of our God,
    you people of ^(AC)Gomorrah!
¹¹^(AD)“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
    says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
    and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
    or of lambs, or of goats.

¹²“When you come to ^(AE)appear before me,
    who has required of you
    this trampling of my courts?
¹³Bring no more vain offerings;
    incense is an abomination to me.
^(AF)New moon and Sabbath and the ^(AG)calling of convocations—
    I cannot endure ^(AH)iniquity and ^(AI)solemn assembly.
¹⁴Your ^(AJ)new moons and your appointed feasts
    my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
    I am weary of bearing them.
¹⁵When you ^(AK)spread out your hands,
    I will hide my eyes from you;
^(AL)even though you make many prayers,
    I will not listen;
    ^(AM)your hands are full of blood.
¹⁶^(AN)Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
    remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
^(AO)cease to do evil,
¹⁷    learn to do good;
^(AP)seek justice,
    correct oppression;
^(AQ)bring justice to the fatherless,
    plead the widow's cause.

¹⁸“Come now, ^(AR)let us reason^[c] together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be as ^(AS)white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
    they shall become like wool.
¹⁹^(AT)If you are willing and obedient,
    you shall eat the good of the land;
²⁰but if you refuse and rebel,
    you shall be eaten by the sword;
    ^(AU)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

The Unfaithful City

²¹How the faithful city
    ^(AV)has become a whore,^[d]
    ^(AW)she who was full of justice!
Righteousness lodged in her,
    but now murderers.
²²^(AX)Your silver has become dross,
    your best wine mixed with water.
²³Your princes are rebels
    and companions of thieves.
Everyone ^(AY)loves a bribe
    and runs after gifts.
^(AZ)They do not bring justice to the fatherless,
    and the widow's cause does not come to them.

²⁴Therefore the ^(BA)Lord declares,
    the Lord of hosts,
    the ^(BB)Mighty One of Israel:
“Ah, I will get relief from my enemies
    ^(BC)and avenge myself on my foes.
²⁵^(BD)I will turn my hand against you
    and will smelt away your ^(BE)dross as with lye
    and remove all your alloy.
²⁶And I will restore your judges ^(BF)as at the first,
    and your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward ^(BG)you shall be called the city of righteousness,
    the faithful city.”

²⁷^(BH)Zion shall be redeemed by justice,
    and those in her who repent, by righteousness.
²⁸^(BI)But rebels and sinners shall be broken together,
    and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
²⁹^(BJ)For they^[e] shall be ashamed of ^(BK)the oaks
    that you desired;
and you shall blush for ^(BL)the gardens
    that you have chosen.
³⁰For you shall be ^(BM)like an oak
    whose leaf withers,
    and like a garden without water.
³¹And the strong shall become ^(BN)tinder,
    and his work a spark,
and both of them shall burn together,
    with ^(BO)none to quench them.
