以賽亞論彌賽亞──在黑暗中的人民將見到大光──一嬰孩為我們而生──祂將是和平的君，將在大衛的王座上統治──比照以賽亞書第九章。約主前五五九年至五四五年。

Isaiah speaks messianically—The people in darkness will see a great light—Unto us a child is born—He will be the Prince of Peace and will reign on David’s throne—Compare Isaiah 9. About 559–545 B.C.

1 然而，那幽暗必不像她被困擾時那樣，從前祂使^ａ西布倫地和拿弗他利地稍受折磨，後來卻使這沿紅海的路，約旦河外，各國人的加利利備受痛苦。

1 ^aNevertheless, the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at first he lightly afflicted the ^bland of ^cZebulun, and the land of ^dNaphtali, and afterwards did more grievously afflict by the way of the Red Sea beyond Jordan in Galilee of the nations.

2 在^ａ黑暗中行走的人民，看見了大光；住在死蔭之地的人，有光照耀他們。

2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

3 您使這國民繁多，^ａ喜樂加增。他們在您面前歡喜，好像收割的歡喜，像人分擄物那樣的快樂。

3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and ^aincreased the joy—they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

4 因為他們所負的軛，和肩頭上的杖，並欺壓者的棍，您都已經折斷。

4 For thou hast broken the yoke of ^ahis burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his ^boppressor.

5 戰士的每一場戰役都喧聲震天，血流滿襟，但這都必作為可燒的，當作柴火。

5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but ^athis shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

6 因有一^ａ嬰孩為我們而生，有一子賜給我們，^ｂ政權必擔在祂的肩頭上；祂名稱為奇妙、策士、^ｃ全能的神、^ｄ永在的父、^ｅ和平的君。

6 For unto us a ^achild is born, unto us a son is given; and the^bgovernment shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The ^cMighty God, The ^dEverlasting Father, The Prince of ^ePeace.

7 祂的^ａ政權與平安必加增^ｂ無窮；祂必在大衛的寶座上，在他的國度上，治理祂的國，以公平公義建立祂的國，從今直到永遠。萬軍之主的熱心，必成就這事。

7 Of the increase of ^agovernment and peace ^bthere is no end, upon the throne of ^cDavid, and upon his kingdom to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this.

8 主傳祂的話給雅各，這話就臨到^ａ以色列。

8 The Lord sent his word unto Jacob and it hath lighted upon Israel.

9 所有的人民都要知道，就是以法蓮和撒馬利亞的居民，他們以驕傲自大的心說：

9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart:

10 磚牆塌了，我們卻要鑿石頭建築，桑樹砍了，我們卻要換成香柏樹。

10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn^astones; the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into^bcedars.

11 因此主會使^ａ利汛的敵人攻擊他，並要聯合他的仇敵；

11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of ^aRezinagainst him, and join his enemies together;

12 前有亞蘭人，後有非利士人，他們張口要^ａ吞吃以色列；雖然如此，祂的^ｂ怒氣還未轉消，祂的手仍舊伸出。

12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind; and they shall^adevour Israel with open mouth. For all this his ^banger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

13 這人民還沒有^ａ歸向擊打他們的主，也沒有尋求萬軍之主。

13 For the people turneth not unto ^ahim that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of Hosts.

14 因此主一日之間，必從以色列中剪除頭與尾，棕枝與蘆葦。

14 Therefore will the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush ^ain one day.

15 長老就是頭；以謊言教人的先知，就是尾。

15 The ^aancient, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

16 因為引導這人民的，使他們走錯了路；被他們引導的，都必敗亡。

16 For the ^aleaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are ^bled of them are destroyed.

17 所以主必不喜悅他們的少年人，也不^ａ憐恤他們的孤兒寡婦；因為他們各人是偽善的，是行惡的，並且各人的口，都說^ｂ愚妄的話；雖然如此，祂的怒氣還未轉消，祂的^ｃ手仍舊伸出。

17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have ^amercy on their fatherless and ^bwidows; for^cevery one of them is a hypocrite and an ^devildoer, and every mouth speaketh ^efolly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his ^fhand is stretched out still.

18 邪惡像火焚燒，吞滅荊棘和蒺藜；在稠密的樹林中燃起來，像煙柱上騰般升起。

18 For ^awickedness burneth as the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forests, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

19 因萬軍之主的烈怒，地都燒黑，人民成為柴火；^ａ無人憐愛弟兄。

19 Through the wrath of the Lord of Hosts is the ^aland darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire; ^bno man shall spare his brother.

20 他必右邊掠食，仍受飢餓；左邊^ａ吞吃，仍不飽足；各人吃自己臂膀上的肉──

20 And he ^ashall snatch on the right hand and be hungry; and he shall ^beat on the left hand and they shall not be satisfied; they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm—

21 ^ａ瑪拿西，^ｂ以法蓮；以法蓮，瑪拿西；他們一同攻擊^ｃ猶大；雖然如此，祂的怒氣還未轉消，祂的手仍舊伸出。

21 Manasseh, ^aEphraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; they together shall be against ^bJudah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
