以赛亚书 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
未来的君王
9 但那些受过痛苦的人必不再遇见黑暗。从前，耶和华使西布伦人和拿弗他利人住的地方受人藐视，日后必使这些地方，即约旦河对岸、沿海一带、外族人居住的加利利得到荣耀。
2 走在黑暗中的人必看见大光，
活在死亡阴影下的人必被光照亮。
3 耶和华啊，你必使以色列成为大国，
人民都喜气洋洋，
在你面前欢喜快乐，
好像丰收时那样欢喜，
如同瓜分战利品时那样快乐。
4 因为你必折断他们负的轭和欺压者的棍棒，
好像昔日你毁灭米甸人一样；
5 战士的靴子和染血的征袍都要被丢进火里烧掉。
6 必有一个婴儿为我们诞生，
有一个孩子要赐给我们，
祂必统治我们。
祂被称为奇妙的策士、全能的上帝、永存的父、和平的君。
7 祂的国必长治久安。
祂必坐在大卫的宝座上以公平和公义治国，
使国家永固。
万军之耶和华必热切地成就此事。
耶和华要审判以色列
8 主已发言责备雅各家，
他的责备落在以色列，
9 住在以法莲和撒玛利亚的以色列人都知道。
他们骄傲自大地说：
10 “砖墙倒塌了，
我们可以凿石重建；
桑树砍倒了，
我们可以再种香柏树。”
11 因此耶和华必驱使敌人来攻击他们。
12 东有亚兰人，西有非利士人，
他们必吞噬以色列。
虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还没有止息，
祂的惩罚还没有停止。
13 但以色列人没有归向万军之耶和华，
也不寻求祂。
14 因此，耶和华要在一日之间铲除以色列的头和尾。
15 头是指他们的长老和首领，
尾是指教人虚谎之事的假先知。
16 这些带领者使百姓步入歧途、
走向灭亡。
17 他们目无上帝，
行事邪恶，口出狂言。
所以，主不喜欢他们的青年，
也不怜悯他们的孤儿寡妇。
虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还没有止息，
祂降罚的手没有收回。
18 邪恶像燃烧的火焰，
焚毁荆棘和蒺藜，点燃密林，
烟柱旋转上腾。
19 万军之耶和华的烈怒必如火一般烧焦大地，
人们成为烧火的柴，
甚至弟兄彼此相煎。
20 他们到处抢夺食物，
仍饥饿难忍，
甚至吃自己的骨肉[a]。
21 以法莲和玛拿西必自相残杀，
又联合起来攻打犹大。
虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还没有止息，
祂降罚的手没有收回。

Isaiah 9
Young's Literal Translation
9 As the former time made light The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter hath honoured the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light hath shone upon them.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast made great its joy, They have joyed before Thee as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, Thou hast broken as [in] the day of Midian.
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it hath been for burning -- fuel of fire.
6 For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
7 To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.
8 A word hath the Lord sent into Jacob, And it hath fallen in Israel.
9 And the people have known -- all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
10 `Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have been cut down, and cedars we renew.'
11 And Jehovah setteth the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And his enemies he joineth together,
12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
13 And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought.
14 And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed -- the same day,
15 Elder, and accepted of face, he [is] the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he [is] the tail.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.
17 Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one [is] profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
18 For burned as a fire hath wickedness, Brier and thorn it devoureth, And it kindleth in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
19 In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts Hath the land been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man on his brother hath no pity,
20 And cutteth down on the right, and hath been hungry, And he devoureth on the left, And they have not been satisfied, Each the flesh of his own arm they devour.
21 Manasseh -- Ephraim, and Ephraim -- Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His anger. And still His hand is stretched out!
