以賽亞書 32
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
公義的君王
32 看啊，必有一位君王以公義治國，
官員們必秉公施政。
2 每人都像躲避狂風暴雨的庇護所，
如荒漠中的溪流，
又似乾旱之地遮蔭的大磐石。
3 人們的眼睛必不再迷濛，
耳朵必能聽見。
4 急躁的人必慎思明辨，
口吃的人必說話清楚流利。
5 愚昧人必不再被奉為尊貴之人，
惡棍必不再受尊重。
6 因為愚昧人說愚昧話，
心裡邪惡，行事不義，
褻瀆耶和華，
使饑餓的人沒飯吃，
使口渴的人沒水喝。
7 惡棍們手段邪惡，
用陰謀詭計和謊言毀滅困苦的人，
即使窮人的訴求有理也是枉然。
8 高尚的人計劃高尚的事，
在高尚的事上持之以恆。
9 生活安逸的婦女啊，
來聽我的聲音！
無憂無慮的女子啊，
要側耳聽我的言語！
10 無憂無慮的女子啊，
再過一年多，
你們必因恐懼而戰抖。
那時，必沒有葡萄可摘，
沒有果子可收。
11 生活安逸的婦女啊，戰抖吧！
無憂無慮的女子啊，顫慄吧！
你們要脫下衣服，
腰束麻布，
12 為美好的田地和碩果纍纍的葡萄樹捶胸痛哭吧！
13 為我百姓那長滿荊棘和蒺藜的土地，
為那曾經充滿歡樂的城邑和家庭哀哭吧！
14 王宮必被遺棄，
繁榮的城邑必荒蕪，
山岡和瞭望塔必永遠成為野驢的樂園、羊群的草場。
15 等到聖靈從上面澆灌我們的時候，
曠野要變為沃野，
沃野上莊稼茂密如林。
16 那時，公平必充滿曠野，
公義必遍佈沃野。
17 公義必帶來平安，
公義所結的果子是永遠的和平與安寧。
18 我的子民必住在平安之地、
安穩之處、平靜之所。
19 但冰雹必掃平森林，蕩平城邑。
20 你們這些在河邊撒種、自由地牧放牛驢的人有福了！
Isaiah 32
New King James Version
A Reign of Righteousness
32 Behold, (A)a king will reign in righteousness,
And princes will rule with justice.
2 A man will be as a hiding place from the wind,
And (B)a [a]cover from the tempest,
As rivers of water in a dry place,
As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 (C)The eyes of those who see will not be dim,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 Also the heart of the [b]rash will (D)understand knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 The foolish person will no longer be called [c]generous,
Nor the miser said to be bountiful;
6 For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work (E)iniquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with (F)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
8 But a [d]generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand.
Consequences of Complacency
9 Rise up, you women (G)who are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech.
10 In a year and some days
You will be troubled, you complacent women;
For the vintage will fail,
The gathering will not come.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease;
Be troubled, you complacent ones;
Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare,
And gird sackcloth on your waists.
12 People shall mourn upon their breasts
For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 (H)On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers,
Yes, on all the happy homes in (I)the joyous city;
14 (J)Because the palaces will be forsaken,
The bustling city will be deserted.
The forts and towers will become lairs forever,
A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks—
15 Until (K)the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
And (L)the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.
The Peace of God’s Reign
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 (M)The work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation,
In secure dwellings, and in quiet (N)resting places,
19 (O)Though hail comes down (P)on the forest,
And the city is brought low in humiliation.
20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters,
Who send out freely the feet of (Q)the ox and the donkey.
