中英對照/摩爾門經/尼腓二書/第16章

以賽亞看見主──以賽亞的罪蒙得赦免──他蒙召喚預言──他預言猶太人拒絕基督的教訓──剩下的人會回來──比照以賽亞書第六章。約主前五五九年至五四五年。

Isaiah sees the Lord—Isaiah’s sins are forgiven—He is called to prophesy—He prophesies of the rejection by the Jews of Christ’s teachings—A remnant will return—Compare Isaiah 6. About 559–545 B.C.

1 烏西雅王駕崩的^ａ那年，我見主坐在高高的寶座上，祂的^ｂ衣裳遮滿聖殿。

1 ^aIn the ^byear that king Uzziah died, I ^csaw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

2 其上有^ａ撒拉弗侍立；各有六個翅膀；用兩個翅膀遮臉，兩個翅膀遮腳，兩個翅膀飛翔。

2 Above it stood the ^aseraphim; each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

3 彼此呼喊說：聖哉，聖哉，聖哉，萬軍之主；祂的榮光充滿全地。

3 And one cried unto another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of his ^aglory.

4 ^ａ門柱因呼喊者的聲音震動，屋內充滿了煙雲。

4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 那時我說：我有禍了，我^ａ完了；因為我是嘴唇不潔的人，又住在嘴唇不潔的民中；我眼見君王，萬軍之主。

5 Then said I: Wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have ^aseen the King, the Lord of Hosts.

6 有一撒拉弗飛到我跟前，手裡拿著紅^ａ炭，是用火鉗從壇上取下來的。

6 Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;

7 他將炭沾我的口，說：看啊，這炭沾了你的嘴唇，你的^ａ罪惡便除掉，你的罪便除盡了。

7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine ^ainiquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

8 我也聽見主的聲音說：我應差遣誰呢？誰肯為我們去呢？我說：我在這裡，請差遣我。

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ^aWhom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said: Here am I; send me.

9 祂說：你去告訴這人民說──你們聽是要聽見，但是他們卻不明白；看是要看見，但是他們卻不曉得。

9 And he said: Go and tell this people—Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not.

10 要使這人民心蒙脂油，耳朵發沉，眼睛閉起──恐怕眼睛看見，耳朵^ａ聽見，心裡明白，回轉過來，便得醫治。

10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes—lest they see with their eyes, and ^ahear with their ears, and understand with their ^bheart, and be converted and be healed.

11 我就說：主啊，這到幾時為止呢？祂說：直到城市荒涼，無人居住，房屋無人，土地完全荒廢。

11 Then said I: Lord, how long? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate;

12 並且主將人^ａ遷到遠方，在這境內撇下的土地很多。

12 And the Lord have ^aremoved men far away, for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

13 但還有十分之一的人必回來，也必被吞滅，像栗樹、橡樹，落葉的時候，樹的本質仍在；所以神聖的種子必成為他們的^ａ本質。

13 But yet there shall be a tenth, and they shall return, and shall be eaten, as a teil-tree, and as an oak whose substance is in them when they cast their leaves; so the ^aholy seed shall be the substance thereof.
