Isaiah

永恆的和平

1亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示，論到猶大和耶路撒冷。

2末後的日子，耶和華殿的山必堅立， 超乎諸山，高舉過於萬嶺； 萬民都要流歸這山。

3必有許多國的民前往，說： 來吧，我們登耶和華的山， 奔雅各上帝的殿。 主必將他的道教訓我們； 我們也要行他的路。 因為訓誨必出於錫安； 耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。

4他必在列國中施行審判， 為許多國民斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犂頭， 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國； 他們也不再學習戰事。

5雅各家啊，來吧！ 我們在耶和華的光明中行走。

驕者必敗

6耶和華，你離棄了你百姓雅各家， 是因他們充滿了東方的風俗， 作觀兆的，像非利士人一樣， 並與外邦人擊掌。

7他們的國滿了金銀， 財寶也無窮； 他們的地滿了馬匹， 車輛也無數。

8他們的地滿了偶像； 他們跪拜自己手所造的， 就是自己指頭所做的。

9卑賤人屈膝； 尊貴人下跪； 所以不可饒恕他們。

10你當進入巖穴，藏在土中， 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。

11到那日，眼目高傲的必降為卑； 性情狂傲的都必屈膝； 惟獨耶和華被尊崇。

12必有萬軍耶和華降罰的一個日子， 要臨到驕傲狂妄的； 一切自高的都必降為卑；

13又臨到黎巴嫩高大的香柏樹和巴珊的橡樹；

14又臨到一切高山的峻嶺；

15又臨到高臺和堅固城牆；

16又臨到他施的船隻並一切可愛的美物。

17驕傲的必屈膝； 狂妄的必降卑。 在那日，惟獨耶和華被尊崇；

18偶像必全然廢棄。

19耶和華興起，使地大震動的時候， 人就進入石洞，進入土穴， 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。

20到那日，人必將為拜而造的金偶像、銀偶像 拋給田鼠和蝙蝠。

21到耶和華興起，使地大震動的時候， 人好進入磐石洞中和巖石穴裏， 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。

22你們休要倚靠世人。 他鼻孔裏不過有氣息； 他在一切事上可算甚麼呢？

1This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains,and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.

3Many peoples shall go and say,“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.”For the law shall go out of Zion,and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.

4He will judge between the nations,and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks.Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,neither shall they learn war any more.

5House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.

6For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob,because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.

7Their land is full of silver and gold,neither is there any end of their treasures.Their land also is full of horses,neither is there any end of their chariots.

8Their land also is full of idols.They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

9Man is brought low,and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.

10Enter into the rock,and hide in the dust,from before the terror of the LORD,and from the glory of his majesty.

11The lofty looks of man will be brought low,the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

12For there will be a day of the LORD of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant,and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—

13for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,

14for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,

15for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,

16for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.

17The loftiness of man shall be bowed down,and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

18The idols shall utterly pass away.

19Men shall go into the caves of the rocks,and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

20In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silverand their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,

21to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

22Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils;for of what account is he?
