以赛亚书 10
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
行惡的人劫運難逃
10 那些制定奸惡律例的，
和那些記錄詭詐判語的，有禍了！
2 他們想藉此屈枉窮乏人的公義，
剝奪我子民中困苦人的權利，
使寡婦作了他們的掠物，
使孤兒作了他們的擄物。
3 到降罰的日子，有災禍從遠方來到，
那時你們要怎樣行呢？
你們可以向誰逃奔求助呢？
你們可以把你們的財寶撇在哪裡呢？
4 你們只能屈身在被擄的人中間，
或是仆倒在被殺的人中間。
雖然這樣，耶和華的怒氣還沒有轉消，
他的手仍然伸出。
亞述是 神懲治子民的工具
5 亞述啊！我怒氣的棍子，有禍了。
他們手中拿著我忿怒的杖。
6 我要差派他去攻擊一個不敬虔的國，
吩咐他去攻擊我惱怒的子民，
擄去掠物，搶奪擄物，
把他們踐踏，像街上的泥土一樣。
7 但亞述並沒有這樣想過，
他心裡也沒有這樣打算；
他心裡倒想毀滅、
剪除多國。
8 因為他說：“在我手下的眾領袖不都是王嗎？
9 迦勒挪不是像迦基米施嗎？
哈瑪不是像亞珥拔嗎？
撒瑪利亞不是像大馬士革嗎？
10 我的手伸展到這些充滿偶像的國，
他們雕刻的像比耶路撒冷和撒瑪利亞的還多。
11 我怎樣對待撒瑪利亞和其中的偶像，
不也照樣對待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像嗎？”
神懲罰亞述
12 主在錫安山和耶路撒冷成全了他一切工作的時候，他必說：我要懲罰亞述王自大的心所結的果子，和他眼目高傲的態度。 13 因為他說：
“我靠著我手的能力和我的智慧行事，
因為我很聰明；
我挪移了列國的地界，
搶奪了他們積蓄的財寶，
並且我像個勇士般使他們的居民全都俯伏下來。
14 我的手伸到列國的財寶那裡，好像抓到鳥窩一樣；
我取得了全地，好像人拾起被棄的雀蛋；
沒有動翅膀的，沒有張嘴的，也沒有鳴叫的。”
15 斧頭怎可以向用斧頭砍木的人自誇呢？
鋸子怎可以向拉鋸的人自大呢？
好比棍能揮動那舉起棍的，
又好比杖舉起那不是木頭的。
16 因此，主萬軍之耶和華必打發令人消瘦的病臨到亞述王肥壯的軍人中間，
在他的榮耀之下必燃起火燄，如同火燒一樣。
17 以色列的光必變成火，他的聖者必成為火燄；
在一日之間把亞述王的荊棘和蒺藜焚燒與吞滅。
18 又把他樹林和豐盛果園的榮美全部滅盡，包括靈魂和身體，好像一個患病的人漸漸虛弱一樣。
19 他林中剩下的樹，數目必定稀少，
連小孩子也能把它們的數目寫下來。
餘民必獲救脫離亞述的軛
20 到那日，以色列的餘民和雅各家逃脫的人，必不再倚靠那擊打他們的，卻要誠實地倚靠耶和華以色列的聖者。
21 那些餘民，就是雅各家的餘民，
必回轉歸向大能的 神。
22 以色列啊！你的人民雖然像海沙那樣多，卻只有餘剩的人可以歸回，
因為滅絕的事已經定了，公義必如洪水氾濫。
23 主萬軍之耶和華必在全地之中，作成已定的毀滅之事。
24 因此，主萬軍之耶和華這樣說：“我的子民、錫安的居民哪！亞述人雖然用棍擊打你們，又像埃及一樣舉杖攻擊你們，你們卻不要怕他們。 25 因為還有短暫的時候，我向你們發的惱怒就要完結，我的怒氣要轉向他們，使他們滅亡。” 26 萬軍之耶和華必興起鞭子攻擊他們，好像在俄立磐石那裡擊殺米甸人一樣；他的杖要伸到海上，他必把杖舉起，像在埃及一樣。 27 到那日，亞述人的重壓必從你們的肩頭上挪開，他們的軛必離開你們的頸項；那軛必因肥壯的緣故折斷。
28 亞述人來到亞葉，
經過米磯崙；
在密抹存放軍隊行裝。
29 他們過了隘口，
在迦巴住宿；
拉瑪人戰兢，掃羅的基比亞人逃跑。
30 迦琳的居民哪，高聲叫喊吧！
萊煞人和可憐的亞拿突啊，留心聽吧！
31 瑪得米那人逃跑，
基柄的居民避難。
32 就在今日，亞述王要停留在挪伯；
他要揮拳攻擊錫安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的山，就是耶路撒冷的山。
33 看哪！主萬軍之耶和華在可怕的震撼聲中，把樹枝削去；
身量高的必被砍下，
高大的必被伐倒。
34 樹林中的密叢，他必用鐵器砍下；
黎巴嫩的樹木必被大能者伐倒。
Isaiah 10
Tree of Life Version
Oy to Unjust Legislators
10 Oy to those enacting unjust decrees
and recording corrupt legislation,
2 to deprive the helpless of justice
and rob the rights of the poor of My people,
so that widows may be their spoil
and orphans their prey!
3 What will you do in the day of visitation,
when desolation comes from afar?
To whom will you flee for help?
Where will you leave your wealth?
4 One can only crouch among the captives
or collapse among the slain.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
yet His hand is still outstretched.
Assyria, the Rod
5 Oy to Assyria, the rod of My anger—
the club in their hand is My indignation!
6 I am sending it against an ungodly nation,
and against the people of My fury I am commissioning it,
to take spoil and plunder,
to trample them down
like mud in the streets.
7 Yet that is not what Assyria intends,
nor is that what he is thinking about.
Rather his heart is to destroy,
and to cut down nations—only a few!
8 For he says: “Aren’t all my princes kings?
9 Isn’t Calno like Carchemish?
Isn’t Hamath like Arpad?
Isn’t Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached the kingdoms of the idols—
with more graven images than Jerusalem and Samaria—
11 as I’ve done to Samaria and her idols,
won’t I also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”
12 Therefore it will come to pass, when Adonai finishes all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, “I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glorying of his haughty eyes.” 13 For he said:
“By the strength of my own hand I’ve done it,
and my own wisdom,
for I am shrewd!
I abolished the borders of peoples,
and plundered their treasures.
As a mighty one I cast down inhabitants.
14 My hand found the riches of the peoples as a nest—
like gathering forsaken eggs,
I have gathered the entire earth.
Not a wing fluttered,
not a beak opened or chirped!”
15 Should the axe boast against the One who chops with it?
Should the saw magnify itself against the One who wields it?
It would be like a rod waving the One who lifts it,
or like a staff hoisting up the One who is not wood!
16 Therefore will the Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot,
send leanness among his fat ones.
Under its glory He will kindle a burning
like a blazing fire.
17 So the light of Israel will become a fire,
and its Holy One a flame.
He will burn and consume
its thorns and briers in one day.
18 Both the glory of his forest
and his fruitful field,
he will consume, both soul and body.
It will be like a sick man wasting away.
19 The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few,
a child could record them.
A Remnant Will Return
20 Yet it will come about in that day
that the remnant of Israel—
those of the house of Jacob who escaped—
will never again depend on the one
who struck them down,
but will depend upon Adonai,
the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 A remnant will return,
even the remnant of Jacob,[a]
to the Mighty God.
22 For though your people, O Israel,
be as the sand of the sea,
only a remnant of them will return.[b]
Destruction has been decreed.
Justice overflows.
23 For a complete destruction, as decreed,
will Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot make throughout the whole land.[c]
24 Therefore thus says Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot:
“O My people dwelling in Zion,
do not be afraid of Assyria,
though he strike you with the war-club,
and lift up his rod against you, as Egypt did.
25 “For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent, and My anger will turn to their destruction.” 26 Adonai-Tzva’ot will stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the Rock of Oreb. As His staff was over the sea, so will He lift it up, as He did in Egypt.
27 In that day his burden will be taken off your shoulders,
and his yoke off your neck.
Indeed, the yoke will be broken
because of fatness.
Assyria Advancing
28 He has come to Aiath,
and passed through Migron.
At Michmas he deposited his supplies.
29 They have crossed over the pass.
They have taken up lodging at Geba.
Ramah is terrified;
Gibeath-shaul has fled.
30 Shriek your cry, daughter of Gallim!
Listen, O Laish! O poor Anathoth!
31 Madmenah has fled.
The inhabitants of Gebim take cover.
32 This very day he will halt at Nob.
He shakes his fist at the mountain
of the Daughter of Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, Adonai-Tzva’ot
will lop off the branches with terror!
So the tall ones will be cut down
and the lofty ones laid low.
34 Yes, He will hack down the thickets of the forest with iron,
and Lebanon with its majesty will fall.
