1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Hear, heavens,
and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken:
"I have nourished and brought up children
and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knows his owner,
and the donkey his master’s crib;
but Israel doesn’t know.
My people don’t consider."
4 Ah sinful nation,
a people loaded with iniquity,
offspring of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken Yahweh.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
They are estranged and backward.
5 Why should you be beaten more,
that you revolt more and more?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it,
but wounds, welts, and open sores.
They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.
7 Your country is desolate.
Your cities are burned with fire.
Strangers devour your land in your presence
and it is desolate,
as overthrown by strangers.
8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut in a field of melons,
like a besieged city.
9 Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant,
we would have been as Sodom.
We would have been like Gomorrah.
10 Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom!
Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11 "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?", says Yahweh.
"I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of fed animals.
I don’t delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs,
or of male goats.
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings.
Incense is an abomination to me.
New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations—
I can’t stand evil assemblies.
14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts.
They are a burden to me.
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you.
Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean.
Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes.
Cease to do evil.
17 Learn to do well.
Seek justice.
Relieve the oppressed.
Defend the fatherless.
Plead for the widow."
18 "Come now, and let’s reason together," says Yahweh:
"Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword;
for the Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it."
21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice.
Righteousness lodged in her,
but now there are murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross,
your wine mixed with water.
23 Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards.
They don’t defend the fatherless,
neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
24 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies,
the Mighty One of Israel, says:
"Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries,
and avenge myself on my enemies.
25 I will turn my hand on you,
thoroughly purge away your dross,
and will take away all your tin.
26 I will restore your judges as at the first,
and your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness,
a faithful town.’
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
and her converts with righteousness.
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together,
and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired,
and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades,
and as a garden that has no water.
31 The strong will be like tinder,
and his work like a spark.
They will both burn together,
and no one will quench them."
1 在乌西雅、约坦、亚哈斯和希西家作犹大王的时候， 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚看见异象， 是关于犹大和耶路撒冷的：
2 诸天哪！ 要听。大地啊！ 要留心听。因为耶和华说： "我把孩子养育， 使他们成长， 他们却背叛了我。
3 牛认识主人， 驴认识主人的槽； 以色列却不认识我， 我的子民不明白我。"
4 嗐！ 犯罪的国， 罪孽深重的子民， 行恶的子孙， 败坏的儿女！ 他们离弃了耶和华， 藐视以色列的圣者， 他们转离了他。
5 你们为什么屡次悖逆， 还要受责打吗？你们整个头都受了伤， 整个心都发昏了。
6 从脚掌到头顶， 没有一处是完全的； 尽是创伤、鞭痕和流血的伤口； 没有挤干净伤口， 没有包扎， 也没有用膏油滋润。
7 你们的土地荒凉， 你们的城镇被火烧毁， 你们的田地， 在你们面前给外族人侵吞； 被外族人倾覆之后， 就荒凉了。
8 仅存的锡安居民（"居民"原文作"女子"）， 好像葡萄园中的草棚， 瓜田里的茅屋， 被围困的城镇。
9 若不是万军之耶和华给我们留下一些生还者， 我们早已像所多玛、蛾摩拉一样了。
10 你们这些所多玛的官长啊！ 要听耶和华的话； 你们这些蛾摩拉的人民啊！ 要侧耳听我们 神的教训。
11 耶和华说： "你们献上众多祭物， 对我有什么益处呢？公绵羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂肪， 我已经够了； 公牛、羊羔和公山羊的血， 我都不喜悦。
12 你们来朝见我的时候， 谁要求你们这样践踏我的院子呢？
13 不要再带没有意义的供物来了， 烧献祭物的香气也是我厌恶的。我厌烦月朔、安息日和集会； 作罪孽又守严肃会， 是我不能容忍的。
14 你们的月朔和制定的节期， 我心里恨恶； 它们都成了我的重担， 我已承担得不耐烦了。
15 所以你们张开双手的时候， 我必掩眼不看你们； 即使你们多多祷告， 我也不听； 你们的手都沾满血腥。
16 你们要洗涤自己， 洁净自己； 从我眼前除掉你们的恶行； 要停止作恶，
17 学习行善， 寻求公平， 指责残暴的人， 替孤儿伸冤， 为寡妇辨屈。"
18 耶和华说： "你们来， 我们彼此辩论； 你们的罪虽像朱红， 必变成雪白； 虽红如丹颜， 必白如羊毛。
19 你们若愿意听从， 就必得吃地上的美物；
20 你们若不听从， 反而悖逆， 就必被刀剑吞灭。"这是耶和华亲口说的。
21 那忠贞的城， 怎么会变成妓女！ 她从前充满公平， 有公义居在其中， 现在却有凶手居住。
22 你的银子变成了渣滓， 你的酒用水搀混。
23 你的官长存心悖逆， 与盗贼同伙； 人都贪爱贿赂， 追索私酬； 他们不替孤儿伸冤， 寡妇的案件也呈不到他们面前。
24 因此， 主万军之耶和华， 以色列的大能者说： "哎！ 我要向我的对头雪恨， 向我的仇敌报复。
25 我必把手转过来攻击你； 我要炼除你的渣滓， 如同用碱来炼一样， 我要除去你的一切杂质。
26 我必恢复你的审判官， 像起初一样； 也必恢复你的谋士， 像起先一般； 以后， 你必称为公义的城、忠贞的城。"
27 锡安必因公平蒙救赎， 城中悔改的人也必因公义蒙救赎。
28 但悖逆的和犯罪的， 必一同灭亡， 离弃耶和华的， 也必灭亡。
29 你们必因你们所喜爱的橡树抱愧， 必因你们所选择的园子蒙羞。
30 因为你们必像一棵叶子凋落的橡树， 又如一个缺水的园子。
31 有权势的必如麻絮， 他所作的好像火星； 都要一同焚毁， 没有人能扑灭。
