以赛亚书 26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
犹大的凯歌
26 到那日，犹大境内的人必唱这首歌：
“我们有一座坚城，
耶和华使祂的拯救成为保护我们的城墙和屏障。
2 打开城门，
让忠信的公义之民进来。
3 你使坚信不移的人全然平安，
因为他们信靠你。
4 要永远信靠耶和华，
因为耶和华是永远屹立的磐石。
5 祂贬抑高傲的人，
拆毁他们高耸的城邑，
把它们夷为平地、化为尘土，
6 被困苦人的脚践踏，被贫穷人的足踩踏。”
7 义人的道路是平坦的，
公正的主啊，你必修平义人所走的道路。
8 耶和华啊，我们等候你，
遵从你的法令，
我们心里渴慕尊崇你的名。
9 在夜间，我思慕你，
我切切地寻求你。
你在世上施行审判的时候，
世人就知道何为公义。
10 你恩待恶人，
但他们仍然不学习行义。
即使在公义之地，
他们依然作恶，
全不把耶和华的威严放在眼里。
11 你惩罚的手高高举起，
他们却看不见。
愿他们因看见你向你子民所发的热心而感到羞愧。
愿你为敌人预备的火烧灭他们。
12 耶和华啊，你必赐我们平安，
因为我们所做的事都是你为我们成就的。
13 我们的上帝耶和华啊！
在你以外曾有别的主人管辖我们，
但我们只尊崇你的名。
14 他们都已死去，再不能复生，
逝去的灵魂不能回来。
因为你惩罚他们，毁灭他们，
使他们被人彻底遗忘。
15 耶和华啊，你增添我们的人口，
增添我们的人口，
扩张我们的疆界，
你得到了荣耀。
16 耶和华啊，我们是你的子民，
我们在危难中寻求你。
你管教我们的时候，
我们就向你祈求。
17 耶和华啊，我们在你面前呼求，
如临产的妇人在阵痛中喊叫。
18 我们曾怀胎，痛苦呻吟，
但产下来的却是一阵风。
我们没有给世界带来拯救，
也没有给世上带来生命。
19 然而，属你的人必复活，
他们的尸体必站起来。
睡在尘土中的人必醒来欢唱！
你必使死人复活，
如清晨的甘露使大地恢复生机。
20 我的百姓啊，
回到你们的房子里，
关上门躲藏一会儿，
等耶和华的愤怒平息。
21 看啊，耶和华要走出祂的居所，
惩罚世上犯罪的人。
大地必不再隐藏被杀之人的尸首，
必将所流的血显露出来。
Isaiah 26

Yahweh Will Establish Peace
26 (A)In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a (B)strong city;
He sets up walls and ramparts for (C)salvation.
2 Open the (D)gates, that the (E)righteous nation may enter,
The one that keeps faithfulness.
3 The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect (F)peace
Because he trusts in You.
4 (G)Trust in Yahweh forever,
For in Yah—Yahweh Himself—we have an everlasting (H)Rock.
5 For He has laid low those who settle on high, the [a](I)exalted city;
(J)He brings it low, He brings it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.
6 (K)The foot will trample it,
The feet of the (L)afflicted, the steps of the poor.”
7 The (M)way of the righteous is upright;
O Upright One, (N)make the path of the righteous level.
8 Indeed, while following the way of (O)Your judgments, O Yahweh,
We have hoped for You eagerly;
(P)Your name—the (Q)memory of You—is the desire of our souls.
9 (R)At night [b]my soul longs for You,
Indeed, [c]my spirit within me (S)seeks You earnestly;
For when the earth [d]experiences Your judgments,
The inhabitants of the world (T)learn righteousness.
10 Though the wicked is shown favor,
He does not (U)learn righteousness;
He (V)deals unjustly in the land of uprightness,
And does not perceive the majesty of Yahweh.
11 O Yahweh, Your hand is raised up high, yet they (W)do not behold it.
[e]They behold (X)Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;
Indeed, [f](Y)fire will devour Your adversaries.
12 Yahweh, You will establish (Z)peace for us,
Since You have also performed for us all our works.
13 O Yahweh our God, (AA)other masters besides You have ruled us;
But through You alone we (AB)bring Your name to remembrance.
14 (AC)The dead will not live; the [g]departed spirits will not rise;
Therefore You have (AD)visited and destroyed them,
And You have made all remembrance of them perish.
15 (AE)You have increased the nation, O Yahweh;
You have increased the nation, You are glorified;
You have (AF)extended all the borders of the land.
16 O Yahweh, they visited You (AG)in distress;
They [h]could only whisper a prayer;
Your chastening was upon them.
17 (AH)As the [i]woman with child draws near to the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her pangs of labor,
Thus were we before You, O Yahweh.
18 We were [j]with child, we writhed in labor;
We (AI)gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish salvation for the earth,
And the (AJ)inhabitants of the world [k]were not born.
19 Your (AK)dead will live;
[l]Their corpses will rise.
You who dwell in the dust, (AL)awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of the [m]dawn,
And the earth will [n]give birth to the [o]departed spirits.
20 Come, my people, (AM)enter into your rooms
And close your doors behind you;
Hide for a little [p](AN)while
Until (AO)indignation passes by.
21 For behold, Yahweh is about to (AP)come out from His place
To (AQ)visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth;
And the earth will (AR)reveal her bloodshed
And will no longer cover those of hers who were killed.
