Isaiah

當那日，在猶大地人必唱這歌說：我們有堅固的城。耶和華要將救恩定為城牆，為外郭。

In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will {God} appoint {for} walls and bulwarks.

敞開城門，使守信的義民得以進入。

Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. {truth: Heb. truths}

堅心倚賴你的，你必保守他十分平安，因為他倚靠你。

Thou wilt keep {him} in perfect peace, {whose} mind {is} stayed {on thee}: because he trusteth in thee. {perfect...: Heb. peace, peace} {mind: or, thought, or, imagination}

你們當倚靠耶和華直到永遠，因為耶和華是永久的磐石。

Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH {is} everlasting strength: {everlasting...: Heb. the rock of ages}

他使住高處的與高城一併敗落，將城拆毀，拆平，直到塵埃，

For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, {even} to the ground; he bringeth it {even} to the dust.

要被腳踐踏，就是被困苦人的腳和窮乏人的腳踐踏。

The foot shall tread it down, {even} the feet of the poor, {and} the steps of the needy.

義人的道是正直的；你為正直的主，必修平義人的路。

The way of the just {is} uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

耶和華啊，我們在你行審判的路上等候你；我們心裡所羨慕的是你的名，就是你那可記念的名。

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of {our} soul {is} to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

夜間，我心中羨慕你；我裡面的靈切切尋求你。因為你在世上行審判的時候，地上的居民就學習公義。

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments {are} in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

以恩惠待惡人，他仍不學習公義；在正直的地上，他必行事不義，也不注意耶和華的威嚴。

Let favour be shewed to the wicked, {yet} will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

耶和華啊，你的手高舉，他們仍然不看；卻要看你為百姓發的熱心，因而抱愧，並且有火燒滅你的敵人。

LORD, {when} thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: {but} they shall see, and be ashamed for {their} envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. {at...: or, toward thy people}

耶和華啊，你必派定我們得平安，因為我們所做的事都是你給我們成就的。

LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. {in us: or, for us}

耶和華─我們的神啊，在你以外曾有別的主管轄我們，但我們專要倚靠你，提你的名。

O LORD our God, {other} lords beside thee have had dominion over us: {but} by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

他們死了，必不能再活；他們去世，必不能再起；因為你刑罰他們，毀滅他們，他們的名號就全然消滅。

{They are} dead, they shall not live; {they are} deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

耶和華啊，你增添國民，你增添國民；你得了榮耀，又擴張地的四境。

Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed {it} far {unto} all the ends of the earth.

耶和華啊，他們在急難中尋求你；你的懲罰臨到他們身上，他們就傾心吐膽禱告你。

LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer {when} thy chastening {was} upon them. {prayer: Heb. secret speech}

婦人懷孕，臨產疼痛，在痛苦之中喊叫；耶和華啊，我們在你面前也是如此。

Like as a woman with child, {that} draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, {and} crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.

我們也曾懷孕疼痛，所產的竟像風一樣。我們在地上未曾行甚麼拯救的事；世上的居民也未曾敗落。

We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

死人（原文是你的死人）要復活，屍首（原文是我的屍首）要興起。睡在塵埃的啊，要醒起歌唱！因你的甘露好像菜蔬上的甘露，地也要交出死人來。

Thy dead {men} shall live, {together with} my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew {is as} the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

我的百姓啊，你們要來進入內室，關上門，隱藏片時，等到忿怒過去。

Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

因為耶和華從他的居所出來，要刑罰地上居民的罪孽。地也必露出其中的血，不再掩蓋被殺的人。

For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. {blood: Heb. bloods}
