1Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
1耶路撒冷的遭遇
2then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth or, Ariel .
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。
3I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
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。
4You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
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。
5But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
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。
6She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
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。
7The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
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。
8It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
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。
9Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
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。
10For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.
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。
11All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please”; and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed:”
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。”
12and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please”; and he says, “I can’t read.”
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。”
13The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
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。
14therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”
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。”
15Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
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？”
16You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding?”
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”？
17Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
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？
18In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
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。
19The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
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。
20For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—
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。
21who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
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。
22Therefore thus says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
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，
23But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
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。
24They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
24那些心中迷惑的，必明白真理，那些发怨言的，必接受教训。”
