以赛亚书 8
1 耶和华对我说：“你取一个大牌，拿人所用的笔，写上‘玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯’。
And the LORD said unto me: 'Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it in common script: The spoil speedeth, the prey hasteth;
2 我要用诚实的见证人，祭司乌利亚和耶比利家的儿子撒迦利亚记录这事。”
and I will take unto Me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.'
3 我— 以赛亚与妻子同室；她怀孕生子，耶和华就对我说：“给他起名叫玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯；
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD unto me: 'Call his name Maher-shalal-hashbaz.
4 因为在这小孩子不晓得叫父叫母之先，大马士革的财宝和撒马利亚的掳物必在亚述王面前搬了去。”
For before the child shall have knowledge to cry: My father, and: My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.'
5 耶和华又晓谕我说：
And the LORD spoke unto me yet again, saying:
6 “这百姓既厌弃西罗亚缓流的水，喜悦利汛和利玛利的儿子；
Forasmuch as this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoiceth with Rezin and Remaliah's son;
7 因此，主必使大河翻腾的水猛然冲来，就是亚述王和他所有的威势，必漫过一切的水道，涨过两岸；
Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, mighty and many, even the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks;
8 必冲入犹大，涨溢泛滥，直到颈项。以马内利啊，他展开翅膀，遍满你的地。”
And he shall sweep through Judah overflowing as he passeth through he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
9 列国的人民哪，任凭你们喧嚷，终必破坏； 远方的众人哪，当侧耳而听！ 任凭你们束起腰来，终必破坏； 你们束起腰来，终必破坏。
Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10 任凭你们同谋，终归无有； 任凭你们言定，终不成立； 因为 神与我们同在。
Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us.
11 耶和华以大能的手，指教我不可行这百姓所行的道，对我这样说：
For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, admonishing me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
12 “这百姓说同谋背叛，你们不要说同谋背叛。他们所怕的，你们不要怕，也不要畏惧。
'Say ye not: A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people do say: A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor account it dreadful.
13 但要尊万军之耶和华为圣，以他为你们所当怕的，所当畏惧的。
The LORD of hosts, Him shall ye sanctify; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.
14 他必作为圣所，却向以色列两家作绊脚的石头，跌人的磐石；向耶路撒冷的居民作为圈套和网罗。
And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 许多人必在其上绊脚跌倒，而且跌碎，并陷入网罗，被缠住。”
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.'
16 你要卷起律法书，在我门徒中间封住训诲。
'Bind up the testimony, seal the instruction among My disciples.'
17 我要等候那掩面不顾雅各家的耶和华；我也要仰望他。
And I will wait for the LORD, that hideth His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for Him.
18 看哪，我与耶和华所给我的儿女，就是从住在锡安山万军之耶和华来的，在以色列中作为预兆和奇迹。
Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me shall be for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 有人对你们说：“当求问那些交鬼的和行巫术的，就是声音绵蛮，言语微细的。”你们便回答说：“百姓不当求问自己的 神吗？岂可为活人求问死人呢？”
And when they shall say unto you: 'Seek unto the ghosts and the familiar spirits, that chirp and that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living unto the dead
20 人当以训诲和法度为标准；他们所说的，若不与此相符，必不得见晨光。
for instruction and for testimony?' — Surely they will speak according to this word, wherein there is no light. —
21 他们必经过这地，受艰难，受饥饿；饥饿的时候，心中焦躁，咒骂自己的君王和自己的 神。
And they shall pass this way that are sore bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and, whether they turn their faces upward,
22 仰观上天，俯察下地，不料，尽是艰难、黑暗，和幽暗的痛苦。他们必被赶入乌黑的黑暗中去。
or look unto the earth, behold distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, and outspread thick darkness.
