1Then the LORD said to me, 'Take for yourself a large tablet and write on it in ordinary letters: Swift is the booty, speedy is the prey.
1耶和華對我說：你取一個大牌，拿人所用的筆（或譯：人常用的字），寫上瑪黑珥沙拉勒哈施罷斯（就是擄掠速臨、搶奪快到的意思）。
2'And I will take to Myself faithful witnesses for testimony, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.'
2我要用誠實的見證人，祭司烏利亞和耶比利家的兒子撒迦利亞記錄這事。
3So I approached the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. Then the LORD said to me, 'Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
3我─以賽亞與妻子（原文是女先知）同室；他懷孕生子，耶和華就對我說：給他起名叫瑪黑珥沙拉勒哈施罷斯；
4for before the boy knows how to cry out 'My father ' or 'My mother,' the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria.'
4因為在這小孩子不曉得叫父叫母之先，大馬色的財寶和撒瑪利亞的擄物必在亞述王面前搬了去。
5Again the LORD spoke to me further, saying,
5耶和華又曉諭我說：
6'Inasmuch as these people have rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah And rejoice in Rezin and the son of Remaliah;
6這百姓既厭棄西羅亞緩流的水，喜悅利汛和利瑪利的兒子；
7'Now therefore, behold, the Lord is about to bring on them the strong and abundant waters of the Euphrates, [Even] the king of Assyria and all his glory; And it will rise up over all its channels and go over all its banks.
7因此，主必使大河翻騰的水猛然沖來，就是亞述王和他所有的威勢，必漫過一切的水道，漲過兩岸；
8'Then it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass through, It will reach even to the neck; And the spread of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.
8必沖入猶大，漲溢氾濫，直到頸項。以馬內利啊，他展開翅膀，遍滿你的地。
9'Be broken, O peoples, and be shattered; And give ear, all remote places of the earth. Gird yourselves, yet be shattered; Gird yourselves, yet be shattered.
9列國的人民哪，任憑你們喧嚷，終必破壞；遠方的眾人哪，當側耳而聽！任憑你們束起腰來，終必破壞；你們束起腰來，終必破壞。
10'Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; State a proposal, but it will not stand, For God is with us.'
10任憑你們同謀，終歸無有；任憑你們言定，終不成立；因為神與我們同在。
11For thus the LORD spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
11耶和華以大能的手，指教我不可行這百姓所行的道，對我這樣說：
12'You are not to say, '[It is] a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of [it].
12這百姓說同謀背叛，你們不要說同謀背叛。他們所怕的，你們不要怕，也不要畏懼。
13'It is the LORD of hosts whom you should regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.
13但要尊萬軍之耶和華為聖，以他為你們所當怕的，所當畏懼的。
14'Then He shall become a sanctuary; But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, [And] a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
14他必作為聖所，卻向以色列兩家作絆腳的石頭，跌人的磐石；向耶路撒冷的居民作為圈套和網羅。
15'Many will stumble over them, Then they will fall and be broken; They will even be snared and caught.'
15許多人必在其上絆腳跌倒，而且跌碎，並陷入網羅，被纏住。
16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
16你要捲起律法書，在我門徒中間封住訓誨。
17And I will wait for the LORD who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him.
17我要等候那掩面不顧雅各家的耶和華；我也要仰望他。
18Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
18看哪，我與耶和華所給我的兒女，就是從住在錫安山萬軍之耶和華來的，在以色列中作為預兆和奇蹟。
19When they say to you, 'Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,' should not a people consult their God? [Should they] [consult] the dead on behalf of the living?
19有人對你們說：當求問那些交鬼的和行巫術的，就是聲音綿蠻，言語微細的。你們便回答說：百姓不當求問自己的神嗎？豈可為活人求問死人呢？
20To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.
20人當以訓誨和法度為標準；他們所說的，若不與此相符，必不得見晨光。
21They will pass through the land hard-pressed and famished, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will be enraged and curse their king and their God as they face upward.
21他們必經過這地，受艱難，受飢餓；飢餓的時候，心中焦躁，咒罵自己的君王和自己的神。
22Then they will look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and [they will be] driven away into darkness.
22仰觀上天，俯察下地，不料，盡是艱難、黑暗，和幽暗的痛苦。他們必被趕入烏黑的黑暗中去。
