以赛亚书 66
Chinese New Version (Traditional)

　神審判萬民

66 耶和華這樣說：

“天是我的寶座，

地是我的腳凳；

你們要在哪裡為我建造殿宇呢？

怎樣的地方才是我安息的所在呢？”

2 耶和華說：“這一切都是我親手所造的，所以它們就有了。

以下這種人是我要垂顧的，

就是謙卑、心靈傷痛、因我的話而戰兢的人。

3 宰牛獻祭，又殺人，

獻羊羔為祭，又打折狗的頸項；

獻上素祭，又獻上豬血；

燒乳香作記念祭，又稱頌虛無之神；

他們選擇他們自己的道路，

他們的心裡喜悅他們那些可憎惡的事。

4 所以，我也必選擇迷惑他們的事，

使他們所懼怕的臨到他們身上；

因為我呼喚你們，卻沒有人回答；

我說話，你們都不聽，

反倒行我眼中看為惡的事，

選擇我所不喜悅的事。”

5 因耶和華的話而戰兢的人哪！

你們要聽他的話。他說：

“你們的兄弟，就是那些憎恨你們、

因我的名趕走你們的，

曾說：‘願耶和華得榮耀；讓我們看見你們的喜樂。’

他們卻要蒙羞。

6 聽啊！有喧嚷的聲音出自城中；

有聲音出於殿裡。

這是耶和華向他的仇敵施行報應的聲音！

7 錫安沒有絞痛就生產；

疼痛沒有臨到她身上，就生了一個男孩。

8 像以下這樣的事，誰曾聽過呢？

像下面這些事，誰曾見過呢？

一地之民能在一天之內就產生嗎？

一國的人能在一時之間就生下來嗎？

但錫安一絞痛，就生下了兒女。

9 耶和華說：‘我既然使她臨盆，又怎能不使她生產呢？’

你的　神說：‘我既然使她生產，又怎能使她閉胎不生呢？’

10 所有愛慕耶路撒冷的人哪！你們都要與她一同歡喜，都要因她快樂；

所有為耶路撒冷哀悼的人哪！你們都要與她一同盡情歡樂。

11 好使你們能在她那安慰人的懷裡吃奶得飽；

使你們能從她豐盛的榮耀裡擠奶而吃，滿心喜樂。”

12 因為耶和華這樣說：“看哪！我必使平安達到她那裡，好像江河一樣，

使列國的財寶達到她那裡，如同漲溢的河流一般；

你們要吮奶，你們必被抱在懷中，撫弄在膝上。

13 人怎樣受他母親的安慰，我也怎樣安慰你們；

你們要在耶路撒冷得安慰。”

14 你們看見了，就心裡快樂，

你們的骨頭必像嫩草一樣長起來，

耶和華的手必向他的僕人顯現，

他必向他的仇敵發怒。

15 看哪！耶和華必在火中降臨，

他的戰車好像旋風；

他要以猛烈的怒氣施行報應，

用火燄施行斥責。

16 因為耶和華必用火和刀劍，

在所有的人身上施行審判，

被耶和華所殺的人必定很多。

17 那些自己分別為聖，又潔淨自己，進到園裡，在園中一個跟一個，吃豬肉、老鼠和可憎之物。他們都必一同滅亡；這是耶和華說的。 18 我知道他們的行為和意念；我要來，聚集萬國萬族；他們都必來看我的榮耀。 19 我要在他們中間施行神蹟，從他們中間差遣所有逃脫的人到列國去，就是到他施、普勒、善於拉弓的路德、土巴和雅完，以及從未聽過我的名聲、從未見過我的榮耀的遙遠眾海島；他們必把我的榮耀傳揚在列國中。 20 他們要從萬國中用馬、用車、用轎、用騾子、用獨峰駝，把你們所有的兄弟都送到我的聖山耶路撒冷來，作供物獻給耶和華，好像以色列人用潔淨的器皿把供物送到耶和華的殿一樣；這是耶和華說的。 21 耶和華說：“我也必從他們中間取些人作祭司和作利未人。” 22 耶和華說：“我所要造的新天新地怎樣在我面前留存，你們的後裔和你們的名字也必怎樣長存。 23 將來每逢月朔，每逢安息日，所有的人都必來在我面前敬拜；這是耶和華說的。 24 他們要出去，觀看那些悖逆我的人的屍體；因為他們的蟲是不死的，他們的火是不滅的；他們必成為所有人恨惡的東西。”

Isaiah 66
Lexham English Bible

Proper Worship

66 Thus says Yahweh:

“Heaven is my throne,
    and the earth is the footstool for my feet.
Where is this house that you would build for me?
    And where is this resting place for me?
2 And my hand has made all these things,
    and all these came to be,”[a]

declares[b] Yahweh, “but[c] I look to this one:

to the humble and the contrite of spirit
    and the one frightened at my word.
3 The one who slaughters a bull strikes a man;
    the one who slaughters a lamb for sacrifice breaks the neck of a dog.
The one who offers an offering, the blood of swine;
    the one who offers frankincense blesses an idol.
Indeed, they themselves have chosen their ways,
    and their soul delights in their abhorrence.
4 Indeed, I myself I will choose their ill treatment,
    and I will bring them objects of their dread,
because I called, and no one answered;[d]
    I spoke and they did not listen,
but[e] they did the evil in my eyes,
    and they chose that in which I do not delight.”

5 Hear the word of Yahweh, you who are frightened at his word:

Your brothers who hate you,
    who exclude you for my name’s sake have said,
“Let Yahweh be honored so that[f] we may see your joy!”
    But[g] they themselves shall be ashamed.
6 A voice, an uproar from the city!
    A voice from the temple!
        The voice of Yahweh paying back[h] his enemies!

Zion’s Delivery

7 Before she was in labor she gave birth;
    before labor pains[i] came to her, she gave birth to a son.
8 Who has heard anything like this?
    Who has seen anything like these things?
Can a land be born in one day?
    Or can a nation be born in a moment?

Yet when she was in labor, Zion indeed gave birth to her children.

9 Shall I myself I break open and not deliver?”[j] says Yahweh,
“or I who delivers[k] lock up the womb?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem
    and shout in exultation with her, all those who love her!
    Rejoice with her in joy, all those who mourn over her,
11 so that you may suck and be satisfied from her consoling breast,[l]
    so that you may drink deeply and refresh yourselves from her heavy breast.”[m]

12 For thus says Yahweh:

“Look! I am about to spread prosperity out to her like a river,
    and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream,
and you shall suck and be carried on the hip;
    and you shall you shall be played with on the knees.
13 As a man whose mother comforts him, so I myself will comfort you,
    and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

Yahweh’s Final Judgment

14 And you shall see and your heart shall rejoice,
    and your bones shall flourish[n] like the grass,
and the hand of Yahweh shall make itself known to[o] his servants,
    and he shall curse his enemies.
15 For look! Yahweh will come in fire,
    and his chariots like the storm wind,
to give back[p] his anger in wrath,
    and his rebuke in flames of fire.
16 For Yahweh enters into judgment on all flesh with fire and his sword,
    and those slain by[q] Yahweh shall be many.
17 Those who sanctify themselves
    and those who cleanse themselves to go into[r] the gardens after the one in the middle,
eating the flesh of swine
    and detestable things[s] and rodents[t] together

shall come to an end!” declares[u] Yahweh.

18 “And I—their works and thoughts!—am about to come to gather all nations and tongues,
    and they shall come and see my glory.
19 And I will set a sign among them,
    and I will send survivors from them to the nations:
Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow;
    Tubal and Javan, the faraway coastlands
that have not heard of my fame,
    and have not seen my glory.

And they shall declare my glory among the nations, 20 and bring all your countrymen[v] from all the nations as an offering to Yahweh on horses and chariots[w] and in litters and on mules and camels, to[x] my holy mountain,[y] Jerusalem,” says Yahweh, “just as the sons of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of Yahweh. 21 And indeed, I will take some of them as priests and the Levites,” says Yahweh. 22 “For just as the new heavens and earth that I am about to make shall stand before me,” declares[z] Yahweh, “so shall your descendants[aa] and your name stand.

23 And this shall happen: From new moon to new moon[ab] and from Sabbath to Sabbath[ac] all flesh shall come to bow in worship before me,” says Yahweh. 24 “And they shall go out and look at the corpses of the people[ad] who have rebelled[ae] against me,

for their worm shall not die,
    and their fire shall not be quenched,
        and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

Isaiah 66
New International Version

Judgment and Hope

66 This is what the Lord says:

“Heaven is my throne,(A)
    and the earth is my footstool.(B)
Where is the house(C) you will build for me?
    Where will my resting place be?
2 Has not my hand made all these things,(D)
    and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.

“These are the ones I look on with favor:
    those who are humble and contrite in spirit,(E)
    and who tremble at my word.(F)
3 But whoever sacrifices a bull(G)
    is like one who kills a person,
and whoever offers a lamb
    is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever makes a grain offering
    is like one who presents pig’s(H) blood,
and whoever burns memorial incense(I)
    is like one who worships an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,(J)
    and they delight in their abominations;(K)
4 so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
    and will bring on them what they dread.(L)
For when I called, no one answered,(M)
    when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil(N) in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”(O)

5 Hear the word of the Lord,
    you who tremble at his word:(P)
“Your own people who hate(Q) you,
    and exclude you because of my name, have said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified,
    that we may see your joy!’
    Yet they will be put to shame.(R)
6 Hear that uproar from the city,
    hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound(S) of the Lord
    repaying(T) his enemies all they deserve.

7 “Before she goes into labor,(U)
    she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
    she delivers a son.(V)
8 Who has ever heard of such things?
    Who has ever seen(W) things like this?
Can a country be born in a day(X)
    or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
    than she gives birth to her children.(Y)
9 Do I bring to the moment of birth(Z)
    and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb
    when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice(AA) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
    all you who love(AB) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
    all you who mourn(AC) over her.
11 For you will nurse(AD) and be satisfied
    at her comforting breasts;(AE)
you will drink deeply
    and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(AF)

12 For this is what the Lord says:

“I will extend peace(AG) to her like a river,(AH)
    and the wealth(AI) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(AJ) on her arm
    and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(AK)
    so will I comfort(AL) you;
    and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”

14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(AM)
    and you will flourish(AN) like grass;
the hand(AO) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(AP)
    but his fury(AQ) will be shown to his foes.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,(AR)
    and his chariots(AS) are like a whirlwind;(AT)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
    and his rebuke(AU) with flames of fire.
16 For with fire(AV) and with his sword(AW)
    the Lord will execute judgment(AX) on all people,
    and many will be those slain(AY) by the Lord.

17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,(AZ) following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,(BA) rats(BB) and other unclean things—they will meet their end(BC) together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.

18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done,(BD) am about to come[a] and gather the people of all nations(BE) and languages, and they will come and see my glory.(BF)

19 “I will set a sign(BG) among them, and I will send some of those who survive(BH) to the nations—to Tarshish,(BI) to the Libyans[b] and Lydians(BJ) (famous as archers), to Tubal(BK) and Greece,(BL) and to the distant islands(BM) that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.(BN) They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring(BO) all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain(BP) in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,”(BQ) says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.(BR) 21 And I will select some of them also to be priests(BS) and Levites,” says the Lord.

22 “As the new heavens and the new earth(BT) that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure.(BU) 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath(BV) to another, all mankind will come and bow down(BW) before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies(BX) of those who rebelled(BY) against me; the worms(BZ) that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched,(CA) and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

True Worship and False

66 Thus says the Lord:

(A)“Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?
2 For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,”
Says the Lord.
(B)“But on this one will I look:
(C)On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.

3 “He(D) who kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he (E)breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood;
He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
4 So will I choose their delusions,
And bring their fears on them;
(F)Because, when I called, no one answered,
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”

The Lord Vindicates Zion

5 Hear the word of the Lord,
You who tremble at His word:
“Your brethren who (G)hated you,
Who cast you out for My name’s sake, said,
(H)‘Let the Lord be glorified,
That (I)we may see your joy.’
But they shall be ashamed.”

6 The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!

7 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth;
Before her pain came,
She delivered a male child.
8 Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem,
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
11 That you may feed and be satisfied
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”

12 For thus says the Lord:

“Behold, (J)I will extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.
Then you shall (K)feed;
On her sides shall you be (L)carried,
And be dandled on her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforts,
So I will (M)comfort you;
And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

The Reign and Indignation of God

14 When you see this, your heart shall rejoice,
And (N)your bones shall flourish like grass;
The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants,
And His indignation to His enemies.
15 (O)For behold, the Lord will come with fire
And with His chariots, like a whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by (P)His sword
The Lord will judge all flesh;
And the slain of the Lord shall be (Q)many.

17 “Those(R) who sanctify themselves and purify themselves,
To go to the gardens
[a]After an idol in the midst,
Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,
Shall [b]be consumed together,” says the Lord.

18 “For I know their works and their (S)thoughts. It shall be that I will (T)gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory. 19 (U)I will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and [c]Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. (V)And they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles. 20 Then they shall (W)bring all your brethren (X)for an offering to the Lord out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord. 21 And I will also take some of them for (Y)priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

22 “For as (Z)the new heavens and the new earth
Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord,
“So shall your descendants and your name remain.
23 And (AA)it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
(AB)All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

24 “And they shall go forth and look
Upon the corpses of the men
Who have transgressed against Me.
For their (AC)worm does not die,
And their fire is not quenched.
They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
