Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.
1耶和華說: 禍哉!這悖逆的兒女。 他們同謀,卻不由於我, 結盟,卻不由於我的靈, 以致罪上加罪;
2They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
2起身下 埃及 去,並沒有求問我; 要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量, 並投在 埃及 的蔭下。
3But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.
3所以,法老的力量必作你們的羞辱; 投在 埃及 的蔭下,要為你們的慚愧。
4For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
4他們的首領已在 瑣安 ; 他們的使臣到了 哈內斯 。
5everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”
5他們必因那不利於他們的民蒙羞。 那民並非幫助,也非利益, 只作羞恥凌辱。
6This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
6論南方牲畜的默示: 他們把財物馱在驢駒的脊背上, 將寶物馱在駱駝的肉鞍上, 經過艱難困苦之地, 就是公獅、母獅、蝮蛇、火焰的飛龍之地, 往那不利於他們的民那裏去。
7Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
7埃及 的幫助是徒然無益的; 所以我稱她為「坐而不動的 拉哈伯 」。
8Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.
8現今你去, 在他們面前將這話刻在版上, 寫在書上, 以便傳留後世,直到永永遠遠。
9These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
9因為他們是悖逆的百姓、說謊的兒女, 不肯聽從耶和華訓誨的兒女。
10They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
10他們對先見說:不要望見 不吉利的事 , 對先知說:不要向我們講正直的話; 要向我們說柔和的話, 言虛幻的事。
11Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
11你們要離棄正道,偏離直路, 不要在我們面前再提說 以色列 的聖者。
12Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,
12所以, 以色列 的聖者如此說: 因為你們藐視這 訓誨的 話, 倚賴欺壓和乖僻,以此為可靠的,
13this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!
13故此,這罪孽在你們身上, 好像將要破裂凸出來的高牆, 頃刻之間忽然坍塌;
14It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”
14要被打碎,好像把窯匠的瓦器打碎, 毫不顧惜, 甚至碎塊中找不到一片可用以從爐內取火, 從池中舀水。
15For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence— but you were not willing.”
15主耶和華- 以色列 的聖者曾如此說: 你們得救在乎歸回安息; 你們得力在乎平靜安穩; 你們竟自不肯。
16“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.

17A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
17一人叱喝,必令千人 逃跑 ; 五人叱喝,你們都必逃跑; 以致剩下的,好像山頂的旗杆, 岡上的大旗。
18Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
18耶和華必然等候,要施恩給你們; 必然興起,好憐憫你們。 因為耶和華是公平的上帝; 凡等候他的都是有福的!
19O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.
19百姓必在 錫安 、在 耶路撒冷 居住;你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的聲音施恩給你;他聽見的時候就必應允你。
20The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.

21And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”

25在大行殺戮的日子,高臺倒塌的時候,各高山岡陵必有川流河湧。
26The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.

28His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.
28他的氣如漲溢的河水,直漲到頸項, 要用毀滅的篩籮篩淨列國, 並且在眾民的口中必有使人錯行的嚼環。
