1 The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.
3 Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.
4 O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.
5 Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.
6 The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.
7 Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.
8 And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.
9 If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.
10 Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
11 What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
12 At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
13 Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.
14 Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.
15 And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;
17 Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.
18 Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?
19 If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;
20 But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
21 The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.
22 Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.
23 Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.
24 For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;
25 And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;
26 And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
27 Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.
28 But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off.
29 For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.
30 For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.
31 And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.
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。
