Isaiah

用以赛亚的儿子作为记号

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』。

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。」

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；

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。」

亚述王快来了

5耶和华又晓谕我说：

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；

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；

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。」

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。

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。

耶和华警告先知

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：

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。

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。

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。

15许多人必在其上绊脚跌倒，而且跌碎，并陷入网罗，被缠住。」

不可求问死人

16你要卷起律法书，在我门徒中间封住训诲。

17我要等候那掩面不顾雅各家的耶和华；我也要仰望他。

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。

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？」

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。

遭难的时候

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。

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。

1The LORD said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;

2and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.”

3I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’

4For before the child knows how to say, ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”

5The LORD spoke to me yet again, saying,

6“Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;

7now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.

8It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through. It will reach even to the neck. The stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, O Immanuel.

9Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!

10Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”

11For the LORD spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

12“Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorized.

13The LORD of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.

14He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare.

15Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”

16Wrap up the covenant. Seal the law among my disciples.

17I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

18Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.

19When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

20Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

21They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry. It will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse their king and their God. They will turn their faces upward,

22then look to the earth and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
