1行恶的人劫运难逃
1Wo [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness.
2他们想借此屈枉穷乏人的公义，剥夺我子民中困苦人的权利，使寡妇作了他们的掠物，使孤儿作了他们的掳物。
2To turn aside from judgment the poor, And to take violently away the judgment Of the afflicted of My people, That widows may be their prey, That the fatherless they may spoil.
3到降罚的日子，有灾祸从远方来到，那时你们要怎样行呢？你们可以向谁逃奔求助呢？你们可以把你们的财宝撇在哪里呢？
3And what do ye at a day of inspection? And at desolation? — from afar it cometh. Near whom do ye flee for help? And where do ye leave your honour?
4你们只能屈身在被掳的人中间，或是仆倒在被杀的人中间。虽然这样，耶和华的怒气还没有转消，他的手仍然伸出。
4Without Me it hath bowed down In the place of a bound one, And in the place of the slain they fall. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
5亚述是 神惩治子民的工具亚述啊！我怒气的棍子，有祸了。他们手中拿着我忿怒的杖。
5Wo [to] Asshur, a rod of Mine anger, And a staff in their hand [is] Mine indignation.
6我要差派他去攻击一个不敬虔的国，吩咐他去攻击我恼怒的子民，掳去掠物，抢夺掳物，把他们践踏，像街上的泥土一样。
6Against a profane nation I send him, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
7但亚述并没有这样想过，他心里也没有这样打算；他心里倒想毁灭、剪除多国。
7And he — he thinketh not so, And his heart reckoneth not so, For — to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations not a few.
8因为他说：“在我手下的众领袖不都是王吗？
8For he saith, `Are not my princes altogether kings?
9迦勒挪不是像迦基米施吗？哈玛不是像亚珥拔吗？撒玛利亚不是像大马士革吗？
9Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10我的手伸展到这些充满偶像的国，他们雕刻的像比耶路撒冷和撒玛利亚的还多。
10As my hand hath got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
11我怎样对待撒玛利亚和其中的偶像，不也照样对待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像吗？”
11Do I not — as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?
12 神惩罚亚述主在锡安山和耶路撒冷成全了他一切工作的时候，他必说：我要惩罚亚述王自大的心所结的果子，和他眼目高傲的态度。
12And it hath come to pass, When the Lord doth fulfil all His work In mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur. And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
13因为他说：“我靠着我手的能力和我的智慧行事，因为我很聪明；我挪移了列国的地界，抢夺了他们积蓄的财宝，并且我像个勇士般使他们的居民全都俯伏下来。
13For he hath said, `By the power of my hand I have wrought, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And their chief ones I have spoiled, And I put down as a mighty one the inhabitants,
14我的手伸到列国的财宝那里，好像抓到鸟窝一样；我取得了全地，好像人拾起被弃的雀蛋；没有动翅膀的，没有张嘴的，也没有鸣叫的。”
14And my hand as to a nest Getteth to the wealth of the peoples, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs All the earth I — I have gathered, And there hath not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.`
15斧头怎可以向用斧头砍木的人自夸呢？锯子怎可以向拉锯的人自大呢？好比棍能挥动那举起棍的，又好比杖举起那不是木头的。
15— Doth the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Doth the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
16因此，主万军之耶和华必打发令人消瘦的病临到亚述王肥壮的军人中间，在他的荣耀之下必燃起火焰，如同火烧一样。
16Therefore doth the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Send among his fat ones leanness, And under his honour He kindleth a burning As the burning of a fire.
17以色列的光必变成火，他的圣者必成为火焰；在一日之间把亚述王的荆棘和蒺藜焚烧与吞灭。
17And the light of Israel hath been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it hath burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
18又把他树林和丰盛果园的荣美全部灭尽，好像一个患病的人渐渐虚弱一样。
18And the honour of his forest, and his fruitful field, From soul even unto flesh He doth consume, And it hath been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
19他林中剩下的树，数目必定稀少，连小孩子也能把它们的数目写下来。
19And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth doth write them.
20余民必获救脱离亚述的轭到那日，以色列的余民和雅各家逃脱的人，必不再倚靠那击打他们的，却要诚实地倚靠耶和华以色列的圣者。
20And it hath come to pass, in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add any more to lean on its smiter, And have leant on Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21那些余民，就是雅各家的余民，必回转归向大能的 神。
21A remnant returneth — a remnant of Jacob, Unto the Mighty God.
22以色列啊！你的人民虽然像海沙那样多，却只有余剩的人可以归回，因为灭绝的事已经定了，公义必如洪水泛滥。
22For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant doth return of it, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
23主万军之耶和华必在全地之中，作成已定的毁灭之事。
23For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
24因此，主万军之耶和华这样说：“我的子民、锡安的居民哪！亚述人虽然用棍击打你们，又像埃及一样举杖攻击你们，你们却不要怕他们。
24Therefore, thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, `Be not afraid, my people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, With a rod he doth smite thee, And his staff lifteth up against thee, in the way of Egypt.
25因为还有短暂的时候，我向你们发的恼怒就要完结，我的怒气要转向他们，使他们灭亡。”
25For yet a very little, And the indignation hath been completed, And Mine anger by their wearing out.
26万军之耶和华必兴起鞭子攻击他们，好像在俄立磐石那里击杀米甸人一样；他的杖要伸到海上，他必把杖举起，像在埃及一样。
26And awaking for him is Jehovah of Hosts, A scourge like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he hath lifted it in the way of Egypt.
27到那日，亚述人的重压必从你们的肩头上挪开，他们的轭必离开你们的颈项；那轭必因肥壮的缘故折断。
27And it hath come to pass, in that day, Turned is his burden from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, And destroyed hath been the yoke, because of prosperity.
28亚述人来到亚叶，经过米矶仑；在密抹存放军队行装。
28He hath come in against Aiath, He hath passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looketh after his vessels.
29他们过了隘口，在迦巴住宿；拉玛人战兢，扫罗的基比亚人逃跑。
29They have gone over the passage, Geba they have made a lodging place, Trembled hath Rama, Gibeah of Saul fled.
30迦琳的居民哪，高声叫喊吧！莱煞人和可怜的亚拿突啊，留心听吧！
30Cry aloud [with] thy voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! answer her, Anathoth.
31玛得米那人逃跑，基柄的居民避难。
31Fled away hath Madmenah, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
32就在今日，亚述王要停留在挪伯；他要挥拳攻击锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的山，就是耶路撒冷的山。
32Yet to-day in Nob to remain, Wave its hand doth the mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.
33看哪！主万军之耶和华在可怕的震撼声中，把树枝削去；身量高的必被砍下，高大的必被伐倒。
33Lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty are become low,
34树林中的密丛，他必用铁器砍下；黎巴嫩的树木必被大能者伐倒。
34And He hath gone round the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon by a mighty one falleth!
