旧约--以赛亚书(Isaiah)--第 57 章
57:1 义人死亡，无人放在心上。虔诚人被收去，无人思念。这义人被收去是免了将来的祸患。
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
57:2 他们得享（原文作进入）平安，素行正直的人，各人在坟里（原文作床上）安歇。
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
57:3 你们这些巫婆的儿子，奸夫和妓女的种子，都要前来。
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
57:4 你们向谁戏笑，向谁张口吐舌呢。你们岂不是悖逆的儿女，虚谎的种类呢。
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
57:5 你们在橡树中间，在各青翠树下欲火攻心。在山谷间，在石穴下杀了儿女。
Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
57:6 在谷中光滑石头里有你的分。这些就是你所得的分。你也向他浇了奠祭，献了供物。因这事我岂能容忍吗。
Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
57:7 你在高而又高的山上安设床榻，也上那里去献祭。
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
57:8 你在门后，在门框后，立起你的记念，向外人赤露。又上去扩张床榻，与他们立约。你在那里看见他们的床，就甚喜爱。
Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
57:9 你把油带到王那里，又多加香料，打发使者往远方去，自卑自贱直到阴间。
And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.
57:10 你因路远疲倦，却不说，这是枉然。你以为有复兴之力，所以不觉疲惫。
Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
57:11 你怕谁，因谁恐惧，竟说谎，不记念我，又不将这事放在心上。我不是许久闭口不言，你仍不怕我吗。
And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
57:12 我要指明你的公义。至于你所行的，都必与你无益。
I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
57:13 你哀求的时候，让你所聚集的拯救你吧。风要把他们刮散。一口气要把他们都吹去。但那投靠我的必得地土，必承受我的圣山为业。
When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
57:14 耶和华要说，你们修筑修筑，豫备道路，将绊脚石从我百姓的路中除掉。
And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
57:15 因为那至高至上，永远常存，（原文作住在永远）名为圣者的如此说，我住在至高至圣的所在，也与心灵痛悔谦卑的人同居，要使谦卑人的灵苏醒，也使痛悔人的心苏醒。
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
57:16 我必不永远相争，也不长久发怒。恐怕我所造的人与灵性，都必发昏。
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
57:17 因他贪婪的罪孽，我就发怒击打他。我向他掩面发怒，他却仍然随心背道。
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
57:18 我看见他所行的道，也要医治他。又要引导他，使他和那一同伤心的人，再得安慰。
I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
57:19 我造就嘴唇的果子。愿平安康泰归与远处的人，也归与近处的人，并且我要医治他。这是耶和华说的。
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
57:20 惟独恶人，好像翻腾的海，不得平静，其中的水，常涌出污秽和淤泥来。
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
57:21 我的神说，恶人必不得平安。
There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
