以赛亚书 32
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
公义的君王
32 看啊，必有一位君王以公义治国，
官员们必秉公施政。
2 每人都像躲避狂风暴雨的庇护所，
如荒漠中的溪流，
又似干旱之地遮荫的大磐石。
3 人们的眼睛必不再迷蒙，
耳朵必能听见。
4 急躁的人必慎思明辨，
口吃的人必说话清楚流利。
5 愚昧人必不再被奉为尊贵之人，
恶棍必不再受尊重。
6 因为愚昧人说愚昧话，
心里邪恶，行事不义，
亵渎耶和华，
使饥饿的人没饭吃，
使口渴的人没水喝。
7 恶棍们手段邪恶，
用阴谋诡计和谎言毁灭困苦的人，
即使穷人的诉求有理也是枉然。
8 高尚的人计划高尚的事，
在高尚的事上持之以恒。
9 生活安逸的妇女啊，
来听我的声音！
无忧无虑的女子啊，
要侧耳听我的言语！
10 无忧无虑的女子啊，
再过一年多，
你们必因恐惧而战抖。
那时，必没有葡萄可摘，
没有果子可收。
11 生活安逸的妇女啊，战抖吧！
无忧无虑的女子啊，颤栗吧！
你们要脱下衣服，
腰束麻布，
12 为美好的田地和硕果累累的葡萄树捶胸痛哭吧！
13 为我百姓那长满荆棘和蒺藜的土地，
为那曾经充满欢乐的城邑和家庭哀哭吧！
14 王宫必被遗弃，
繁荣的城邑必荒芜，
山冈和瞭望塔必永远成为野驴的乐园、羊群的草场。
15 等到圣灵从上面浇灌我们的时候，
旷野要变为沃野，
沃野上庄稼茂密如林。
16 那时，公平必充满旷野，
公义必遍布沃野。
17 公义必带来平安，
公义所结的果子是永远的和平与安宁。
18 我的子民必住在平安之地、
安稳之处、平静之所。
19 但冰雹必扫平森林，荡平城邑。
20 你们这些在河边撒种、自由地牧放牛驴的人有福了！
Isaiah 32
New King James Version
A Reign of Righteousness
32 Behold, (A)a king will reign in righteousness,
And princes will rule with justice.
2 A man will be as a hiding place from the wind,
And (B)a [a]cover from the tempest,
As rivers of water in a dry place,
As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 (C)The eyes of those who see will not be dim,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 Also the heart of the [b]rash will (D)understand knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 The foolish person will no longer be called [c]generous,
Nor the miser said to be bountiful;
6 For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work (E)iniquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with (F)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
8 But a [d]generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand.
Consequences of Complacency
9 Rise up, you women (G)who are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech.
10 In a year and some days
You will be troubled, you complacent women;
For the vintage will fail,
The gathering will not come.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease;
Be troubled, you complacent ones;
Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare,
And gird sackcloth on your waists.
12 People shall mourn upon their breasts
For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 (H)On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers,
Yes, on all the happy homes in (I)the joyous city;
14 (J)Because the palaces will be forsaken,
The bustling city will be deserted.
The forts and towers will become lairs forever,
A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks—
15 Until (K)the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
And (L)the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.
The Peace of God’s Reign
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 (M)The work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation,
In secure dwellings, and in quiet (N)resting places,
19 (O)Though hail comes down (P)on the forest,
And the city is brought low in humiliation.
20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters,
Who send out freely the feet of (Q)the ox and the donkey.
