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.
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：
2Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
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。
3The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
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。”
4Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
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。
5Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
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。
6From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
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。
7Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
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。
8And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
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。
9Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
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。
10Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of 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。
11To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
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。
12When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
12你們來朝見我的時候，誰要求你們這樣踐踏我的院子呢？
13Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
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。
14Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
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。
15And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
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。
16Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
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，
17Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
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。”
18Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
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。
19If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
19你們若願意聽從，就必得吃地上的美物；
20But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
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。
21How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
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。
22Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
22你的銀子變成了渣滓，你的酒用水攙混。
23Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
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。
24Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
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。
25And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
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。
26And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
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。”
27Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
27錫安必因公平蒙救贖，城中悔改的人也必因公義蒙救贖。
28And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
28但悖逆的和犯罪的，必一同滅亡，離棄耶和華的，也必滅亡。
29For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
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。
30For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
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。
31And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
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。
