¹耶路撒冷的遭遇

¹Wo [to] Ariel, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David! Add year to year, let festivals go round.

²我却要使亚利伊勒受困苦，成了一座充满悲伤哀号的城，我要以它为亚利伊勒。

²And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it hath been lamentation and mourning, And it hath been to me as Ariel.

³我必四面安营攻击你，筑起攻城的台来围困你，堆起高垒攻击你。

³And I encamped, O babbler, against thee, And I laid siege against thee — a camp. And I raised up against thee bulwarks.

⁴你必降低，从地中说话；你说的话必细微，如同出于尘土；你的声音必像交鬼者的声音，从地里出来；你的言语必像耳语般低微，如同出于尘土。

⁴And thou hast been low, From the earth thou speakest, And from the dust makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the dust thy saying whisperest,

⁵但你敌人的数量必多如灰尘，那些强暴者的数量也多如被吹散的糠秕，这必在顷刻之间，突然发生。

⁵And as small dust hath been The multitude of those scattering thee, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the terrible, And it hath been at an instant — suddenly.

⁶万军之耶和华必用雷轰、地震、大声、旋风、暴风和吞灭人的火焰来惩罚他们。

⁶By Jehovah of Hosts thou art inspected, With thunder, and with an earthquake, And great noise, hurricane, and whirlwind, And flame of devouring fire.

⁷那时，所有攻击亚利伊勒的列国众军，就是所有攻击亚利伊勒和它的堡垒，以及迫害它的，必如梦景，如夜间的异象。

⁷And as a dream, a vision of night, hath been The multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her.

⁸又像饥饿的人在梦中吃饭，醒了以后，仍然觉得饥饿；又像口渴的人在梦中喝水，醒了以后，仍然觉得口渴，心里还是想喝。那攻打锡安山的列国众军，也必这样。

⁸And it hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he is eating, And he hath waked, and empty [is] his soul, And as when the thirsty dreameth, And lo, he is drinking, and he hath waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against mount Zion.

⁹责人民无知与伪善你们留连吧，自我蒙蔽，继续盲目吧！你们醉了，却与酒无关，你们东倒西歪，也不是因为浓酒的缘故。

⁹Tarry and wonder, look ye, yea, look, Be drunk, and not with wine, Stagger, and not with strong drink.

¹⁰因为耶和华把沉睡的灵，倾倒在你们身上；他紧闭你们的眼，就是先知；蒙盖你们的头，就是先见。

¹⁰For poured out on you hath Jehovah a spirit of deep sleep, And He closeth your eyes — the prophets, And your heads — the seers — He covered.

¹¹对你们来说，整个异象就像密封的书卷的话，人把这书卷交给识字的，说：“请念吧！”他必回答：“我不能念，因为它是密封的。”

¹¹And the vision of the whole is to you, As words of the sealed book, That they give unto one knowing books, Saying, `Read this, we pray thee,` And he hath said, `I am not able, for it [is] sealed;`

¹²人又把这书卷交给不识字的人，说：“请念吧！”他必回答：“我不识字。”

¹²And the book is given to him who hath not known books, Saying, `Read this, we pray thee,` And he hath said, `I have not known books.`

¹³主说：“因为这子民只用言语来亲近我，用嘴唇尊崇我，他们的心却远离我。他们对我的敬畏，只是遵从传统的吩咐。

¹³And the Lord saith: Because drawn near hath this people, with its mouth, And with its lips they have honoured Me, And its heart it hath put far off from Me, And their fear of Me is — A precept of men is taught!

¹⁴因此，看哪！我要再向这子民施行奇事，就是奇妙又奇妙的事；他们智慧人的智慧必要消没，他们聪明人的聪明必被隐藏。”

¹⁴Therefore, lo, I am adding to do wonderfully with this people, A wonder, and a marvel, And perished hath the wisdom of its wise ones, And the understanding of its intelligent ones hideth itself.`

¹⁵那些向耶和华深藏谋略的人，有祸了！他们在暗中行事，说：“谁看见我们？谁知道我们？”

¹⁵Wo [to] those going deep from Jehovah to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, `Who is seeing us? And who is knowing us?`

¹⁶你们颠倒事理了！窑匠怎能被看作泥土呢？被造的怎能对造它的说：“他没有造我”？制成品怎可对制成它的说：“他不聪明”？

¹⁶Your perversion! as clay is the potter esteemed? That the work saith of its maker, `He hath not made me?` And the framed thing said of its framer, `He did not understand?`

¹⁷谦卑者将来的快乐不是还有一点点的时候，黎巴嫩就要变为肥田，肥田就要被看为树林吗？

¹⁷Is it not yet a very little, And turned hath Lebanon to a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned?

¹⁸到那日，聋子必听见这书卷上的话；瞎子的眼，必在迷蒙黑暗中也能看见。

¹⁸And heard in that day have the deaf the words of a book, And out of thick darkness, and out of darkness, The eyes of the blind do see.

¹⁹困苦的必因耶和华增添喜乐；贫穷的人必因以色列的圣者而快乐。

¹⁹And the humble have added joy in Jehovah, And the poor among men In the Holy One of Israel rejoice.

²⁰因为强暴人归于无有，好讥笑人的必被灭绝；所有意图行恶的，必被剪除。

²⁰For ceased hath the terrible one, And consumed hath been the scorner, And cut off have been all watching for iniquity,

²¹他们只用一句话就定了人的罪，又设下网罗来陷害城门口那执行裁判的，用毫无根据的事屈枉义人。

²¹Causing men to sin in word, And for a reprover in the gate lay a snare, And turn aside into emptiness the righteous.

²²因此，曾经救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华，论到雅各家时，这样说：“雅各今后必不再羞愧，他的脸容也不再变为苍白，

²²Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of Jacob: `Not now ashamed is Jacob, Nor now doth his face become pale,

²³因为他看见了他的子孙在他中间，就是我手所作的。他们必尊我的名为圣，必尊雅各的圣者为圣，也必敬畏以色列的　神。

²³For in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They sanctify My name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel they declare fearful.

²⁴那些心中迷惑的，必明白真理，那些发怨言的，必接受教训。”

²⁴And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!`
