Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear.
1耶和華的膀臂並非縮短，不能拯救， 耳朵並非發沉，不能聽見，
2But your iniquities have divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you that he should not hear.
2但你們的罪孽使你們與上帝隔絕； 你們的罪惡使他掩面不聽你們。
3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue uttereth iniquity.
3因你們的手被血沾染， 你們的指頭被罪孽沾污， 你們的嘴唇說謊言， 你們的舌頭出惡語。
4There is none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth iniquity.
4無一人按公義告狀， 無一人憑誠實辯白； 都倚靠虛妄，說謊言。 所懷的是毒害； 所生的是罪孽。
5They have broken the eggs of asps, and have woven the webs of spiders: he that shall eat of their eggs, shall die: and that which is brought out, shall be hatched into a basilisk.
5他們菢毒蛇蛋， 結蜘蛛網； 人吃這蛋必死。 這蛋被踏，必出蝮蛇。
6Their webs shall not be for clothing, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are unprofitable works, and the work of iniquity is in their hands.
6所結的網不能成為衣服； 所做的也不能遮蓋自己。 他們的行為都是罪孽； 手所做的都是強暴。
7Their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are unprofitable thoughts: wasting and destruction are in their ways.
7他們的腳奔跑行惡； 他們急速流無辜人的血； 意念都是罪孽， 所經過的路都荒涼毀滅。
8They have not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps: their paths are become crooked to them, every one that treadeth in them, knoweth no peace.
8平安的路，他們不知道； 所行的事沒有公平。 他們為自己修彎曲的路； 凡行此路的都不知道平安。
9Therefore is judgment far from us, and justice shall not overtake us. We looked for light, and behold darkness: brightness, and we have walked in the dark.
9因此，公平離我們遠， 公義追不上我們。 我們指望光亮，卻是黑暗， 指望光明，卻行幽暗。
10We have groped for the wall, and like the blind we have groped as if we had no eyes: we have stumbled at noonday as in darkness, we are in dark places as dead men.
10我們摸索牆壁，好像瞎子； 我們摸索，如同無目之人。 我們晌午絆腳，如在黃昏一樣； 我們在肥壯人中，像死人一般。
11We shall roar all of us like bears, and shall lament as mournful doves. We have looked for judgment, and there is none: for salvation, and it is far from us.
11我們咆哮如熊， 哀鳴如鴿； 指望公平，卻是沒有； 指望救恩，卻遠離我們。
12For our iniquities are multiplied before thee, and our sins have testified against us: for our wicked doings are with us, and we have known our iniquities:
12我們的過犯在你面前增多， 罪惡作見證告我們； 過犯與我們同在。 至於我們的罪孽，我們都知道：
13In sinning and lying against the Lord: and we have turned away so that we went not after our God, but spoke calumny and transgression: we have conceived, and uttered from the heart, words of falsehood.
13就是悖逆、不認識耶和華， 轉去不跟從我們的上帝， 說欺壓和叛逆的話， 心懷謊言，隨即說出。
14And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth bath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in.
14並且公平轉而退後， 公義站在遠處； 誠實在街上仆倒， 正直也不得進入。
15And truth hath been forgotten: and he that departed from evil, lay open to be a prey: and the Lord saw, and it appeared evil in his eyes, because there is no judgment.
15誠實少見； 離惡的人反成掠物。 那時，耶和華看見沒有公平， 甚不喜悅。
16And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself: and his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice supported him.
16他見無人 拯救 ， 無人代求，甚為詫異， 就用自己的膀臂施行拯救， 以公義扶持自己。
17He put on justice as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head: he put on the garments of vengeance, and was clad with zeal as with a cloak.
17他以公義為鎧甲， 以拯救為頭盔， 以報仇為衣服， 以熱心為外袍。
18As unto revenge, as it were to repay wrath to his adversaries, and a reward to his enemies: he will repay the like to the islands.
18他必按人的行為施報， 惱怒他的敵人， 報復他的仇敵， 向眾海島施行報應。
19And they from the west, shall fear the name of the Lord: and they from the rising of the sun, his glory: when he shall come as a violent stream, which the spirit of the Lord driveth on:
19如此，人從日落之處必敬畏耶和華的名， 從日出之地也必敬畏他的榮耀； 因為仇敵好像急流的河水沖來， 是耶和華之氣所驅逐的。
20And there shall come a, redeemer to Sion, and to them that return from iniquity in Jacob, saith the Lord.
20必有一位救贖主來到 錫安 － 雅各 族中轉離過犯的人那裏。 這是耶和華說的。
21This is my covenant with them, saith the Lord: My spirit that is in thee, and my words that I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
21耶和華說：「至於我與他們所立的約乃是這樣：我加給你的靈，傳給你的話，必不離你的口，也不離你後裔與你後裔之後裔的口，從今直到永遠；這是耶和華說的。」
