耶和华与百姓争辩

¹以色列人哪，当听耶和华的话！要起来向山岭争辩，使冈陵听你的话。Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

²山岭和地永久的根基啊，要听耶和华争辩的话！因为耶和华要与他的百姓争辩，与以色列争论。Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:

我向你做了甚么呢

³我的百姓啊，我向你做了什么呢？我在什么事上使你厌烦？你可以对我证明。‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!

⁴我曾将你从埃及地领出来，从作奴仆之家救赎你；我也差遣摩西、亚伦，和米利暗在你前面行。For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.

⁵我的百姓啊，你们当追念摩押王巴勒所设的谋和比珥的儿子巴兰回答他的话，并你们从什亭到吉甲所遇见的事，好使你们知道耶和华公义的作为。My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”

当献上甚么呢

⁶我朝见耶和华，在至高　神面前跪拜，当献上什么呢？岂可献一岁的牛犊为燔祭吗？With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?

⁷耶和华岂喜悦千千的公羊，或是万万的油河吗？我岂可为自己的罪过献我的长子吗？为心中的罪恶献我身所生的吗？Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

行公义，好怜悯，与神同行

⁸世人哪，耶和华已指示你何为善。他向你所要的是什么呢？只要你行公义，好怜悯，存谦卑的心，与你的　神同行。He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

诡诈的天平和法码

⁹耶和华向这城呼叫，智慧人必敬畏他的名。你们当听是谁派定刑杖的惩罚。The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.

¹⁰恶人家中不仍有非义之财和可恶的小升斗吗？Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?

¹¹我若用不公道的天平和囊中诡诈的法码，岂可算为清洁呢？Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?

¹²城里的富户满行强暴；其中的居民也说谎言，口中的舌头是诡诈的。For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.

吃不饱，种不收

¹³因此，我击打你，使你的伤痕甚重，使你因你的罪恶荒凉。Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.

¹⁴你要吃，却吃不饱；你的虚弱必显在你中间。你必挪去，却不得救护；所救护的，我必交给刀剑。You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.

¹⁵你必撒种，却不得收割；踹橄榄，却不得油抹身；踹葡萄，却不得酒喝。You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.

¹⁶因为你守暗利的恶规，行亚哈家一切所行的，顺从他们的计谋；因此，我必使你荒凉，使你的居民令人嗤笑，你们也必担当我民的羞辱。You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”

地上虔诚人灭尽

¹哀哉！我（或译：以色列）好像夏天的果子已被收尽，又像摘了葡萄所剩下的，没有一挂可吃的；我心羡慕初熟的无花果。Woe is me! For I am like one gathering summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster to eat, no early fig that I crave.

²地上虔诚人灭尽；世间没有正直人；各人埋伏，要杀人流血，都用网罗猎取弟兄。The godly man has perished from the earth; there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; they hunt one another with a net.

³他们双手作恶；君王徇情面，审判官要贿赂；位分大的吐出恶意，都彼此结联行恶。Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.

⁴他们最好的，不过是蒺藜；最正直的，不过是荆棘篱笆。你守望者说，降罚的日子已经来到。他们必扰乱不安。The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation. Now is the time of their confusion.

不要倚赖邻舍

⁵不要倚赖邻舍；不要信靠密友。要守住你的口；不要向你怀中的妻提说。Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.

⁶因为，儿子藐视父亲；女儿抗拒母亲；媳妇抗拒婆婆；人的仇敌就是自己家里的人。For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.

我虽跌倒，却要起来

⁸我的仇敌啊，不要向我夸耀。我虽跌倒，却要起来；我虽坐在黑暗里，耶和华却作我的光。Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.

⁹我要忍受耶和华的恼怒；因我得罪了他，直等他为我辨屈，为我伸冤。他必领我到光明中；我必得见他的公义。Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His righteousness.

¹⁰那时我的仇敌，就是曾对我说“耶和华—你　神在哪里”的，他一看见这事就被羞愧遮盖。我必亲眼见他遭报；他必被践踏，如同街上的泥土。Then my enemy will see and will be covered with shame—she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; at that time she will be trampled like mud in the streets.

求你牧放你的民

¹⁴求耶和华在迦密山的树林中，用你的杖牧放你独居的民，就是你产业的羊群。求你容他们在巴珊和基列得食物，像古时一样。Shepherd with Your staff Your people, the flock of Your inheritance. They live alone in a woodland, surrounded by pastures. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

¹⁵耶和华说：我要把奇事显给他们看，好像出埃及地的时候一样。As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show My wonders.

¹⁶列国看见这事就必为自己的势力惭愧；他们必用手捂口，掩耳不听。Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.

¹⁷他们必舔土如蛇，又如土中腹行的物，战战兢兢地出他们的营寨。他们必战惧投降耶和华，也必因我们的　神而惧怕。They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will come trembling from their strongholds in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.

有何神像你

¹⁸神啊，有何神像你，赦免罪孽，饶恕你产业之余民的罪过，不永远怀怒，喜爱施恩？Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance—who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion?

¹⁹必再怜悯我们，将我们的罪孽踏在脚下，又将我们的一切罪投于深海。He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.

²⁰你必按古时起誓应许我们列祖的话，向雅各发诚实，向亚伯拉罕施慈爱。You will show faithfulness to Jacob and loving devotion to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.

死伤医好，全地拜兽

³我看见兽的七头中，有一个似乎受了死伤，那死伤却医好了。全地的人都希奇跟从那兽，One of the heads of the beast appeared to have been mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast.

⁴又拜那龙—因为它将自己的权柄给了兽，也拜兽，说：“谁能比这兽，谁能与它交战呢？”They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?”

说亵渎话，与圣徒争战

⁵又赐给它说夸大亵渎话的口，又有权柄赐给它，可以任意而行四十二个月。The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months.

⁶兽就开口向　神说亵渎的话，亵渎　神的名并他的帐幕，以及那些住在天上的。And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven.

⁷又任凭它与圣徒争战，并且得胜；也把权柄赐给它，制伏各族、各民、各方、各国。Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

⁸凡住在地上、名字从创世以来没有记在被杀之羔羊生命册上的人，都要拜它。And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.

凡有耳的，就应当听

⁹凡有耳的，就应当听！He who has an ear, let him hear:

¹⁰掳掠人的，必被掳掠；用刀杀人的，必被刀杀。圣徒的忍耐和信心就是在此。“If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he will go; if anyone is to die by the sword, by the sword he must be killed.” Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.

从地中上来的兽

¹¹我又看见另有一个兽从地中上来，有两角如同羊羔，说话好像龙。Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon.

¹³又行大奇事，甚至在人面前，叫火从天降在地上。And the second beast performed great signs, even causing fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people.

叫人为兽作像

¹⁴它因赐给它权柄在兽面前能行奇事，就迷惑住在地上的人，说：“要给那受刀伤还活着的兽作个像。”Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived.

¹⁵又有权柄赐给它，叫兽像有生气，并且能说话，又叫所有不拜兽像的人都被杀害。The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed.

兽的印记

¹⁶它又叫众人，无论大小、贫富、自主的、为奴的，都在右手上或是在额上受一个印记。And the second beast required all people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

¹⁷除了那受印记、有了兽名或有兽名数目的，都不得做买卖。so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.

六百六十六

¹⁸在这里有智慧：凡有聪明的，可以算计兽的数目；因为这是人的数目，它的数目是六百六十六。Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.
