Isaiah 以赛亚书59

（单词翻译）

59Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
2But your iniquities¹ have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
3For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt². Your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters wicked things.
4No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case with integrity. They rely on empty arguments and speak lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
5They hatch the eggs of vipers³ and spin a spider's web. Whoever eats their eggs will die, and when one is broken, an adder⁴ is hatched.
6Their cobwebs are useless for clothing; they cannot cover themselves with what they make. Their deeds are evil deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands.
7Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are evil thoughts; ruin and destruction mark their ways.
8The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked⁵ roads; no one who walks in them will know peace.
9So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like men without eyes. At midday we stumble as if it were twilight⁶; among the strong, we are like the dead.
11We all growl⁷ like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. We look for justice, but find none; for deliverance, but it is far away.
12For our offenses⁸ are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us. Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities:
13rebellion and treachery against the Lord , turning our backs on our God, fomenting⁹ oppression and revolt, uttering lies our hearts have conceived.
14So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter.
15Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns¹⁰ evil becomes a prey¹¹. The Lord looked and was displeased¹² that there was no justice.
16He saw that there was no one, he was appalled¹³ that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation¹⁴ for him, and his own righteousness sustained him.
17He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance¹⁵ and wrapped himself in zeal¹⁶ as in a cloak.
18According to what they have done, so will he repay wrath¹⁷ to his enemies and retribution to his foes¹⁸; he will repay the islands their due.
19From the west, men will fear the name of the Lord , and from the rising of the sun, they will revere¹⁹ his glory. For he will come like a pent-up flood that the breath of the Lord drives along.
20"The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent²⁰ of their sins," declares the Lord .
21"As for me, this is my covenant²¹ with them," says the Lord . "My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever," says the Lord .
