¹先知責備子民在烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯和希西家作猶大王的時候，亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞看見異象，是關於猶大和耶路撒冷的：

¹The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

²諸天哪！要聽。大地啊！要留心聽。因為耶和華說：“我把孩子養育，使他們成長，他們卻背叛了我。

²Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

³牛認識主人，驢認識主人的槽；以色列卻不認識我，我的子民不明白我。”

³The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel doesn’t know, my people don’t consider.”

⁴嗐！犯罪的國，罪孽深重的子民，行惡的子孫，敗壞的兒女！他們離棄了耶和華，藐視以色列的聖者，他們轉離了他。

⁴Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

⁵你們為甚麼屢次悖逆，還要受責打嗎？你們整個頭都受了傷，整個心都發昏了。

⁵Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

⁶從腳掌到頭頂，沒有一處是完全的；盡是創傷、鞭痕和流血的傷口；沒有擠乾淨傷口，沒有包紮，也沒有用膏油滋潤。

⁶From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.

⁷你們的土地荒涼，你們的城鎮被火燒毀，你們的田地，在你們面前給外族人侵吞；被外族人傾覆之後，就荒涼了。

⁷Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

⁸僅存的錫安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”），好像葡萄園中的草棚，瓜田裡的茅屋，被圍困的城鎮。

⁸The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.

⁹若不是萬軍之耶和華給我們留下一些生還者，我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉一樣了。

⁹Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom; we would have been like Gomorrah.

¹⁰一面守節，一面犯罪你們這些所多瑪的官長啊！要聽耶和華的話；你們這些蛾摩拉的人民啊！要側耳聽我們　神的教訓。

¹⁰Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , you people of Gomorrah!

¹¹耶和華說：“你們獻上眾多祭物，對我有甚麼益處呢？公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂肪，我已經夠了；公牛、羊羔和公山羊的血，我都不喜悅。

¹¹“What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?,” says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.

¹²你們來朝見我的時候，誰要求你們這樣踐踏我的院子呢？

¹²When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

¹³不要再帶沒有意義的供物來了，燒獻祭物的香氣也是我厭惡的。我厭煩月朔、安息日和集會；作罪孽又守嚴肅會，是我不能容忍的。

¹³Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can’t bear with evil assemblies.

¹⁴你們的月朔和制定的節期，我心裡恨惡；它們都成了我的重擔，我已承擔得不耐煩了。

¹⁴My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.

¹⁵所以你們張開雙手的時候，我必掩眼不看你們；即使你們多多禱告，我也不聽；你們的手都沾滿血腥。

¹⁵When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶務要除惡行善你們要洗滌自己，潔淨自己；從我眼前除掉你們的惡行；要停止作惡，

¹⁶Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.

¹⁷學習行善，尋求公平，指責殘暴的人，替孤兒伸冤，為寡婦辨屈。”

¹⁷Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow.”

¹⁸耶和華說：“你們來，我們彼此辯論；你們的罪雖像硃紅，必變成雪白；雖紅如丹顏，必白如羊毛。

¹⁸“Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

¹⁹你們若願意聽從，就必得吃地上的美物；

¹⁹If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;

²⁰你們若不聽從，反而悖逆，就必被刀劍吞滅。”這是耶和華親口說的。

²⁰but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.”

²¹聖城的罪惡那忠貞的城，怎麼會變成妓女！她從前充滿公平，有公義居在其中，現在卻有兇手居住。

²¹How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.

²²你的銀子變成了渣滓，你的酒用水攙混。

²²Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.

²³你的官長存心悖逆，與盜賊同夥；人都貪愛賄賂，追索私酬；他們不替孤兒伸冤，寡婦的案件也呈不到他們面前。

²³Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They don’t judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

²⁴若悔改必得救贖因此，主萬軍之耶和華，以色列的大能者說：“哎！我要向我的對頭雪恨，向我的仇敵報復。

²⁴Therefore the Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: “Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself of my enemies;

²⁵我必把手轉過來攻擊你；我要煉除你的渣滓，如同用鹼來煉一樣，我要除去你的一切雜質。

²⁵and I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.

²⁶我必恢復你的審判官，像起初一樣；也必恢復你的謀士，像起先一般；以後，你必稱為公義的城、忠貞的城。”

²⁶I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness, a faithful town.’

²⁷錫安必因公平蒙救贖，城中悔改的人也必因公義蒙救贖。

²⁷Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.

²⁸但悖逆的和犯罪的，必一同滅亡，離棄耶和華的，也必滅亡。

²⁸But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.

²⁹你們必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧，必因你們所選擇的園子蒙羞。

²⁹For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.

³⁰因為你們必像一棵葉子凋落的橡樹，又如一個缺水的園子。

³⁰For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.

³¹有權勢的必如麻絮，他所作的好像火星；都要一同焚毀，沒有人能撲滅。

³¹The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
