Isaiah

義人死亡，無人放在心上；虔誠人被收去，無人思念。這義人被收去是免了將來的禍患；

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth {it} to heart: and merciful men {are} taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil {to come}. {merciful...: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from...: or, from that which is evil}

他們得享（原文是進入）平安。素行正直的，各人在墳裡（原文是床上）安歇。

He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, {each one} walking {in} his uprightness. {enter into: or, go in} {in his...: or, before him}

你們這些巫婆的兒子，姦夫和妓女的種子，都要前來！

But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

你們向誰戲笑？向誰張口吐舌呢？你們豈不是悖逆的兒女，虛謊的種類呢？

Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, {and} draw out the tongue? {are} ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

你們在橡樹中間，在各青翠樹下慾火攻心；在山谷間，在石穴下殺了兒女；

Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks? {with...: or, among the oaks}

在谷中光滑石頭裡有你的分。這些就是你所得的分；你也向他澆了奠祭，獻了供物，因這事我豈能容忍麼？

Among the smooth {stones} of the stream {is} thy portion; they, they {are} thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

你在高而又高的山上安設床榻，也上那裡去獻祭。

Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

你在門後，在門框後，立起你的紀念；向外人赤露，又上去擴張床榻，與他們立約；你在那裡看見他們的床就甚喜愛。

Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered {thyself to another} than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee {a covenant} with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest {it}. {made...: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirs} {where...: or, thou providedst room}

你把油帶到王那裡，又多加香料，打發使者往遠方去，自卑自賤直到陰間，

And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase {thyself even} unto hell. {thou...: or, thou respectedst}

你因路遠疲倦，卻不說這是枉然；你以為有復興之力，所以不覺疲憊。

Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; {yet} saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved. {life: or, living}

你怕誰？因誰恐懼？竟說謊，不記念我，又不將這事放在心上。我不是許久閉口不言，你仍不怕我麼？

And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid {it} to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

我要指明你的公義；至於你所行的都必與你無益。

I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.

你哀求的時候，讓你所聚集的拯救你罷！風要把他們颳散，一口氣要把他們都吹去。但那投靠我的必得地土，必承受我的聖山為業。

When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take {them}: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

耶和華要說：你們修築修築，預備道路，將絆腳石從我百姓的路中除掉。

And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

因為那至高至上、永遠長存（原文是住在永遠）、名為聖者的如此說：我住在至高至聖的所在，也與心靈痛悔謙卑的人同居；要使謙卑人的靈甦醒，也使痛悔人的心甦醒。

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name {is} Holy; I dwell in the high and holy {place}, with him also {that is} of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

我必不永遠相爭，也不長久發怒，恐怕我所造的人與靈性都必發昏。

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls {which} I have made.

因他貪婪的罪孽，我就發怒擊打他；我向他掩面發怒，他卻仍然隨心背道。

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. {frowardly: Heb. turning away}

我看見他所行的道，也要醫治他；又要引導他，使他和那一同傷心的人再得安慰。

I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

我造就嘴唇的果子；願平安康泰歸與遠處的人，也歸與近處的人；並且我要醫治他。這是耶和華說的。

I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to {him that is} far off, and to {him that is} near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

惟獨惡人，好像翻騰的海，不得平靜；其中的水常湧出污穢和淤泥來。

But the wicked {are} like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

我的神說：惡人必不得平安！

{There is} no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
