赛59:1 看哪！耶和华的手不是缩短了，以致不能拯救；他的耳朵不是不灵，不能听见；
赛59:1 Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:
赛59:2 而是你们的罪孽使你们与你们的 神隔绝；你们的罪恶使他掩面不顾你们，不听你们的祷告。
赛59:2 But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.
赛59:3 因为你们的手沾满了血，你们的指头被罪孽玷污，你们的嘴唇说虚谎的话，你们的舌头讲出凶言。
赛59:3 For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
赛59:4 没有人按公义求告，没有人凭诚实争辩；他们都倚靠虚无，说虚谎的话；所怀的是毒害，所生的是罪孽。
赛59:4 No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
赛59:5 他们所孵化的是毒蛇的蛋，他们所结的是蜘蛛的网，吃了牠们的蛋，就一定死；蛋破了，就孵出蝮蛇来。
赛59:5 They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.
赛59:6 他们的网，不能作衣服，他们所作的，也不能遮盖自己；他们所作的是罪孽的作为，他们的手里满是强暴的行为。
赛59:6 Their twisted threads will not make clothing, and their works will give them nothing for covering themselves: their works are works of sin, and violent acts are in their hands.
赛59:7 他们的脚奔跑行恶，他们急于流无辜人的血；他们的思想都是邪恶的思想，他们的行径全是破坏和毁灭。
赛59:7 Their feet go quickly to evil, and they take delight in the death of the upright; their thoughts are thoughts of sin; wasting and destruction are in their ways.
赛59:8 平安的路，他们不认识，在他们的行径中没有公平；他们为自己使道路弯曲，行在其上的，都不认识平安。
赛59:8 They have no knowledge of the way of peace, and there is no sense of what is right in their behaviour: they have made for themselves ways which are not straight; whoever goes in them has no knowledge of peace.
赛59:9 因此，公平远离我们，公义赶不上我们，我们指望亮光，不料，却是黑暗。我们指望光明，却行在幽暗中！
赛59:9 For this cause our right is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us: we are looking for light, but there is only the dark; for the shining of the sun, but our way is in the night.
赛59:10 我们摸索墙壁，好像瞎子一样；我们摸索，如同没有眼睛的人一般；我们在中午跌倒，有如在黄昏跌倒一样；我们在肥壮的人中，好像死人一般。
赛59:10 We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.
赛59:11 我们都咆哮如熊，悲鸣像鸽子；我们等候公平，却没有公平；指望拯救，拯救却离我们很远。
赛59:11 We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking for our right, but it is not there; for salvation, but it is far from us.
赛59:12 因为我们的过犯在你面前增多，我们的罪作证控告我们，我们的过犯与我们在一起；我们知道我们的罪孽，
赛59:12 For our evil doings are increased before you, and our sins give witness against us: for our evil doings are with us, and we have knowledge of our sins:
赛59:13 就是悖逆、否认耶和华，转去不跟从我们的 神，说欺压和背道的话，心里怀着谎言，随即说出来；
赛59:13 We have gone against the Lord, and been false to him, turning away from our God, our words have been uncontrolled, and in our hearts are thoughts of deceit.
赛59:14 公平被迫后退，公义站在远处；诚实在街上跌倒，正直不能进入。
赛59:14 And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.
赛59:15 诚实缺乏，远离恶事的人反成为掠物。耶和华看见了，就看这为恶事，因为一点公平也没有。
赛59:15 Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.
赛59:16 他见无人行善，无人代求，就非常诧异，所以他用自己的膀臂为他施行拯救，以自己的公义扶持他。
赛59:16 And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.
赛59:17 他穿上公义的铠甲，戴上救恩的头盔，穿上复仇的衣服，披上热心作外袍。
赛59:17 Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.
赛59:18 他要按照各人的行为施行报应，把烈怒降与他的敌人，把报应加给他的仇敌，向众海岛的人施行报应。
赛59:18 He will give them the right reward of their doings, wrath to his attackers, punishment to his haters, and even on the sea-lands he will send punishment.
赛59:19 这样，人从日落之处必敬畏耶和华的名，从日出之地也必敬畏他的荣耀，仇敌像河水冲来的时候，耶和华的气必向他催逼。
赛59:19 So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.
赛59:20 “必有一位救赎主来到锡安，来到雅各家中那些转离过犯的人那里。”这是耶和华说的。
赛59:20 And as a saviour he will come to Zion, turning away sin from Jacob, says the Lord.
赛59:21 耶和华说：“至于我，我与他们所立的约是这样：我加在你们身上的灵和我放在你口里的话，必不离开你的口，不离开你后裔的口，也不离开你后裔的后裔的口，从现在直到永远；这是耶和华说的。”
赛59:21 And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.
