以赛亚书 28
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
警告以法莲
28 以法莲那些醉汉所戴的高傲冠冕，有祸了！
它在肥美谷山顶上的荣美，有祸了！
它必如将残的花朵，
满了喝醉酒的人。
2 看哪！主有一个大能大力的人，
像一阵冰雹、一阵毁灭的暴风，
像涨溢猛流的大水，
他必用手把它摔落地上。
3 以法莲的醉汉所戴的高傲冠冕，必被践踏在脚下。
4 它在肥美谷山顶上如将残的花朵一般的荣美，
必像夏天以前初熟的无花果。
那些看见它的人，都必注意；
一到手里，
就把它吞吃了。
警告耶路撒冷的领袖
5 到那日，
万军之耶和华必作他余民荣耀的冠冕、美丽的华冠，
6 也必作在位上施行审判者公平的心灵，
并作在城门口击退敌人者的力量。
7 就是这地的人，也因酒摇晃不定，
因浓酒东倒西歪；
祭司和先知都因浓酒摇晃不定，
被酒弄至昏乱，因浓酒东倒西歪。
他们见异象的时候，摇晃不定，
他们判断的时候，也颠颠倒倒。
8 因为各席上都满了污秽的呕吐，没有一处是干净的。
9 他们说：
“他要把知识教导谁呢？
要使谁明白他所传的信息呢？
是那些刚断奶，
刚离开母怀的吗？
10 因为他所说的，
只是些重复又重复的话，
和毫无意义的字母，
这里一点，那里一点罢了。”
11 耶和华要借着外族人的嘴唇和外族人的舌头，
对这人民说话。
12 他曾对他们说：“这就是安息之处，你们若使疲乏的人得安息，就必得着这安歇的地方。”
但他们不肯听从。
13 所以耶和华对他们所说的话，
就成了重复又重复的话，
和毫无意义的字母，
这里一点，那里一点，
以致他们虽然往前走，却必仰面跌倒，并且跌伤，陷入网罗被缠住。
锡安的基石
14 因此好讥笑人的人哪！
就是管辖这些在耶路撒冷的人民的，
你们要听耶和华的话。
15 因为你们曾说：“我们与死亡立了约，
与阴间结了盟；
刑罚的鞭子扫过的时候，必不会碰到我们，
因为我们以谎言作遮蔽，以虚假作庇护。”
16 所以主耶和华这样说：
“看哪！我在锡安放置一块石头，
是试验过的石头，
是稳固的基石，宝贵的房角石；
信靠的人，必不着急。
17 我要以公平为准绳，
以公义为线铊；
冰雹必把谎言的遮蔽冲去，
大水必漫过庇护所。”
18 你们与死亡所立的约要废除，
你们与阴间所结的盟必立不住；
刑罚的鞭子扫过的时候，
你们就必被践踏。
19 每次扫过的时候，都把你们抓去；
因为每早晨它必漫过，白天与黑夜也是这样；
人若明白所传的，必受惊恐。
20 床铺太短，人就不能伸直，
被窝太窄，就盖不住全身。
21 耶和华必像在毘拉心山一样兴起，
又像在基遍谷一样发怒，
为要作成他的工，他那奇妙的工，
好成就他的事，就是奇异的事。
22 现在，你们不可再讥笑了，
免得捆绑你们的绳索绑得更紧，
因为我从主万军之耶和华那里听到，
决定要在全地上施行毁灭的事。
农务的比喻
23 你们要侧耳听我的声音，
留心听我的话。
24 农夫怎会不断耕犁来撒种呢？
他怎会常常开垦耕地呢？
25 他犁平了地面，
不就撒种小茴香，播种大茴香，
按行列种小麦，
在指定的地方种大麦，在田边种粗麦吗？
26 因为他的 神教导他，指教他正确的方法。
27 打小茴香是不用尖耙的，
轧大茴香也不用碾轮；
而是用杖打小茴香，用棍打大茴香。
28 做饼的谷粒怎么要碾碎的呢？
从来没有人碾碎它们，
虽然他让车轮和马匹辊过谷粒，
却不会把他们碾碎。
29 这也是出于万军之耶和华，
他的谋略奇妙，他的智慧广大。

A sad song about Ephraim[a]
28 It will be very bad for Ephraim's beautiful city, Samaria! The people who live there drink too much wine and they become drunk. They are proud of their great city. It is on a hill above a valley where many good things grow. It is like a beautiful flower, but it will be beautiful no more and it will die.
2 Look! The Lord God is sending a strong and powerful army to attack it.[b] It comes like a strong storm of ice. Its wind destroys everything. It is like rain that pours down and causes a flood. He will knock down Ephraim's great city to the ground with his great power!
3 The drunk people of Samaria think that their city is great. But their enemies will knock it down and walk all over it. 4 The city is like a beautiful flower that will soon die. It is on a hill above a valley where many good things grow. But it will be like a fig on a tree. It is ready to eat before the harvest time. When someone sees it, he will quickly pick it. And he will eat it!
5 At that time. the Lord Almighty will be a great leader of his people. He will be like a beautiful crown for his people who still remain alive. 6 He will help judges to decide what is right. He will give strength to the people who keep the city safe from those who attack it.
7 But now wine causes the leaders in Ephraim to become drunk. They cannot walk in a straight line because they drink too much beer. Beer causes the priests and the prophets to fall over. Wine confuses their minds. When they see visions, they cannot understand them. When they judge people, they cannot decide what is right.
8 They are sick over all their tables. Everywhere is covered with dirt.
9 They say, ‘Why does the Lord try to teach us like that? Who does he think that we are? He speaks to us as if we are babies! He thinks that we have just left our mother's breast! 10 He teaches us one rule at a time, one line at a time. He says it several times, a little bit here, a little bit there.’
11 So now the Lord will use foreign enemies to speak to these people. He will speak to them in a strange language.
12 In the past, he said to them, ‘This is a place where you can rest when you are tired. It is a place where you can be safe.’ But his people refused to listen. 13 So the Lord's message will seem to them like, ‘One rule at a time, one line at a time, a little bit here, a little bit there.’ So as they try to move forward, they will fall over. An enemy will hurt them, and he will catch them in a trap.
A message about Jerusalem
14 So listen to the Lord's message, you leaders in Jerusalem who rule these people. Do not laugh at what the Lord is doing.
15 You boast, ‘We have made a covenant with death. Yes, we have made an agreement with Sheol. When trouble comes to our city like a deep flood of water, we will be safe. We trust in our lies to keep us safe.’
16 So the Almighty Lord says this:
‘Look! I am putting a special stone in Zion. It is a valuable stone, because it makes a strong foundation at the corner of my building. Anyone who trusts in that foundation will never be disappointed.
17 Justice and righteousness will make that foundation strong and true. But if you trust in lies, a storm of ice will destroy your safe place. A flood of water will destroy the place where you are hiding. 18 I will stop your covenant with death. Your agreement with Sheol will not continue. When trouble comes like a deep flood of water, it will drown you. 19 A flood of punishment will come again and again, and it will carry you away. It will come every morning, and all through the day and the night.’
When you understand this message from the Lord, you will be very afraid. 20 You will not be able to rest, like a tall person who tries to sleep on a short bed. Your blanket will not cover your whole body.
21 But the Lord will do a great thing, like he did at Mount Perazim. He will be very angry, as he was in the Gibeon Valley. He will do something that is very wonderful and strange.
22 So do not laugh at me when I warn you. If you do not listen, your punishment will become even worse. The Lord Almighty has told me what he has decided. He has decided to destroy the whole land.
23 So listen carefully to my message. Hear what I am saying!
24 A farmer ploughs the ground because he wants to plant seeds in it. He does not continue to plough for ever. 25 When he has prepared the ground, he plants many different seeds. He plants dill and cummin. He plants wheat, barley and different grains in their proper places.
26 God teaches the farmer and he tells him the right thing to do. 27 After the harvest, the farmer knows how to remove seeds from dill or from cummin. He will not pull a heavy iron weight over dill. He will not run the wheels of a cart over cummin. Instead, he will hit them with a light stick.
28 When he crushes grain to make flour for bread, he does not do it for a long time. He drives the wheels of his cart over the grain, but he does not let his horses crush it.
29 The Lord Almighty causes farmers to know all that. His ideas are very wise, and he shows us how to live in a wise way.
Isaiah 28
New International Version
Isaiah 28
New International Version
Woe to the Leaders of Ephraim and Judah
28 Woe(A) to that wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(B) drunkards,
to the fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley(C)—
to that city, the pride of those laid low by wine!(D)
2 See, the Lord has one who is powerful(E) and strong.
Like a hailstorm(F) and a destructive wind,(G)
like a driving rain and a flooding(H) downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
3 That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(I) drunkards,
will be trampled(J) underfoot.
4 That fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley,(K)
will be like figs(L) ripe before harvest—
as soon as people see them and take them in hand,
they swallow them.
5 In that day(M) the Lord Almighty
will be a glorious(N) crown,(O)
a beautiful wreath
for the remnant(P) of his people.
6 He will be a spirit of justice(Q)
to the one who sits in judgment,(R)
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle(S) at the gate.
7 And these also stagger(T) from wine(U)
and reel(V) from beer:
Priests(W) and prophets(X) stagger from beer
and are befuddled with wine;
they reel from beer,
they stagger when seeing visions,(Y)
they stumble when rendering decisions.
8 All the tables are covered with vomit(Z)
and there is not a spot without filth.
9 “Who is it he is trying to teach?(AA)
To whom is he explaining his message?(AB)
To children weaned(AC) from their milk,(AD)
to those just taken from the breast?
10 For it is:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that[a];
a little here, a little there.(AE)”
11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues(AF)
God will speak to this people,(AG)
12 to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;(AH)
and, “This is the place of repose”—
but they would not listen.
13 So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there(AI)—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured(AJ) and snared and captured.(AK)
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord,(AL) you scoffers(AM)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,(AN)
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(AO)
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie(AP) our refuge
and falsehood[b] our hiding place.(AQ)”
16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,(AR) a tested stone,(AS)
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;(AT)
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.(AU)
17 I will make justice(AV) the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;(AW)
hail(AX) will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow(AY) your hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.(AZ)
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(BA)
you will be beaten down(BB) by it.
19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;(BC)
morning after morning,(BD) by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.(BE)
20 The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.(BF)
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(BG)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(BH)—
to do his work,(BI) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22 Now stop your mocking,(BJ)
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed(BK) against the whole land.(BL)
23 Listen(BM) and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
24 When a farmer plows for planting,(BN) does he plow continually?
Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?
25 When he has leveled the surface,
does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?(BO)
Does he not plant wheat in its place,[c]
barley(BP) in its plot,[d]
and spelt(BQ) in its field?
26 His God instructs him
and teaches(BR) him the right way.
27 Caraway is not threshed(BS) with a sledge,(BT)
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,(BU)
and cumin with a stick.
28 Grain must be ground to make bread;
so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart(BV) may be rolled over it,
but one does not use horses to grind grain.
29 All this also comes from the Lord Almighty,
whose plan is wonderful,(BW)
whose wisdom is magnificent.(BX)
