2And The Wonderful One Issuing From Jehovah’s Chastisement On The Kingdom Of Israel And
His Judgment On Assyria (2
3读经：以赛亚书9:8—10:34，罗马书9:27。
3Scripture Reading: Isa. 9:8—10:34; Rom. 9:27
4以赛亚四、六、七、八、九章启示出基督的十八项。在四章，基督是耶和华的苗、地的果子、（赛四2、）罩盖、（赛四5、）和帐棚，（赛四，）为作神选民的遮荫、藏身之处与覆庇。在六章，基督是那在荣耀里坐在宝座上者。（赛六1。）在七章，基督是那称为以马内利的孩子。（赛七14。）在八章，基督对祂的子民乃是圣所，对反对祂的人却是绊脚的石头、跌人的磐石、圈套和网罗。（赛八14。）在九章，基督是大光、（赛九2、）所生的婴孩、所赐的子、全能的神、奇妙的策士、永远的父、和平的君。（赛九6。）
4In chapters four, six, seven, eight, and nine of Isaiah, eighteen items of Christ are revealed. In chapter four Christ is the Shoot of Jehovah, the Fruit of the earth (v. 2), the canopy (v. 5), and the tabernacle (v. 6) to be the shade, refuge, and 1 cover to God’s chosen people. In chapter six Christ is the One sitting on the throne in glory (v. 1). In chapters even Christ is the child who is called Immanuel (v. 14), and in chapter eight Christ is the sanctuary to His people but a striking stone, a rock of stumbling, and a trap, and a snare to His opposers (v. 14). In chapter nine Christ is the great light (v. 2), a child born, a son given, the Mighty God, the Wonderful Counselor, the Eternal Father, and the Prince of Peace (v. 6).
5以赛亚九章和十一章启示出基督奇妙的一面，但十章却说到耶和华对以色列国的审判（不仅是惩治）和祂对亚述的审判。十章插在这两章中间，目的是要给我们看见，如何得著并享受以赛亚书前面章节里所陈明，关于基督的美好之事。
5Chapters nine and eleven of Isaiah reveal Christ in a wonderful way, but chapter ten deals with Jehovah’s judgment (not merely His chastisement) on the kingdom of Israel and His judgment on Assyria. Chapter ten is inserted between these two chapters for the purpose of showing us how to possess and enjoy the good things of Christ presented in the earlier chapters of Isaiah
6我们若要知道如何享受基督，首先必须认识我们真实的光景。我们真实的光景并不好，因为我们是在神的审判之下。我们若要享受基督作我们的救恩，就必须看见自己是在神的审判之下。
6If we would know how to enjoy Christ, we must first know our real situation. Our real situation is not good, because we are under the judgment of God. If we would enjoy Christ as our salvation, we must realize that we are under God’s judgment
7这原则在传福音时是一样的。传福音时，最好先不要摆出好的事物，乃要先摆出坏的东西。你若只摆出好的事物，就摸不著人的良心。摸著人良心最好的路，乃是和颜悦色的跟他说到他真实的光景。
7The principle is the same in preaching the gospel. In preaching the gospel, it is best not to present the good things first but the bad things. If you present only the good things, you may not touch a person’s conscience. The best way to touch a person’s conscience is to say something about his actual situation in a nice way.
8以赛亚十章显示，被欺压的以色列国和欺压人的亚述国都在神的审判之下。以色列原是一国，但在所罗门的时代以后，分为二国，就是北方的以色列国和南方的犹大国。因著以色列国堕落到一个地步，和外邦人在同样的水平上，甚至与亚兰王联盟，因此以色列不只被神惩治，更受神审判。神对以色列的惩治，成了祂对以色列的审判。因此，这里不仅说到神对以色列的惩治，更说到祂对以色列的审判，这乃是正确的。不仅如此，这章里的两个审判－对以色列的审判和对亚述的审判－实际上乃是一。（赛十22～23。）以色列与外邦人成了一个，所以这两个审判在性质上成了一个。
8Isaiah 10 shows that both the oppressed, the kingdom of Israel, and the oppressor, the kingdom of Assyria, were under the judgment of God. Israel was once a single nation, but after the time of Solomon, the nation was divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Because the kingdom of Israel had fallen to the extent that it was on the level of the Gentile nations, even becoming an ally to the king of Aram, Israel was not only under God’s chastisement but also under His judgment. God’s chastisement on Israel became His judgment on Israel. For this reason, it is correct now to speak not only of God’s chastisement on Israel but also of His judgment on Israel. Furthermore, the two judgments in this chapter — the judgment on Israel and the judgment on Assyria—are actually one (vv. 2 2-2 3). Israel had become one with the Gentiles; therefore, these two judgments became one in nature.
9参、耶和华对以色列国的审判
9III. Jehovah’s Judgment On The Kingdom Of Israel
10在九章八节至十章四节，我们看见耶和华对以色列国的审判。
10In 9:8—10:4 we see God’s judgment on the kingdom of Israel
一 、审判他们的骄傲自大
A. On Their Pride and Haughtiness
11神的审判是因他们骄傲自大。（赛九9～10。）以法莲（以色列国）和撒玛利亚（以色列首都）的居民凭骄傲自大的心说，『砖墙塌了，我们却要凿石头建筑，桑树砍了，我们却要换香柏树。』（赛九10。）他们凭骄傲的心说，要用比砖更坚固的东西建造，并要用香柏树代替桑树。
11God’s judgment was on their pride and haughtiness (9:9-10). Ephraim (the kingdom of Israel) and the inhabitants of Samaria (the capital of Israel) said in their pride and haughtiness of heart, “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone;/The sycamores have been felled, but we will put cedars in their place” (v. 10). In their pride they said that they would build with something stronger than bricks and that they would replace the sycamores with cedars
12二、耶和华的审判－高举敌人并激动
12B. Jehovah’s Judgment—Exalting the
Adversaries and Goading On the Enemies
仇敌
13耶和华高举利汛的敌人，来攻击以色列，并要激动以色列的仇敌。（赛九11。）东有亚兰人，西有非利士人，他们张口要吞吃以色列。虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消，祂的手仍伸不缩。（赛九12。）
13Jehovah exalted the adversaries of Rezin against Israel and goaded Israel’s enemies on (9:11). Aram from the east and the Philistines from the west devoured with an open mouth. But by all this Jehovah’sang er was not turned; His hand was still outstretched (v. 12
三 、审判他们没有归向耶和华，也没有寻求祂
C. On Their Not Turning to Jehovah nor Seeking Him
14耶和华的审判，是因他们没有归向耶和华，也没有寻求祂。十三节说，『但这百姓还没有归向击打他们的主，也没有寻求万军之耶和华。』
14Jehovah’s judgment was on their not turning to Him nor seeking Him. Verse 13 says, “Yet the people do not turn to Him who strikes them,/Nor do they seek Jehovah of hosts.”
15四、耶和华的审判－从以色列剪去头与尾，以及错引这百姓的
15D. Jehovah’s Judgment—Cutting Off from Israel Head and Tail and Those Who Mislead This People
16耶和华必从以色列剪去头（长老和尊贵人）与尾（以谎言教人的申言者），以及错引这百姓的。（赛九～16。）因此，主必不喜悦他们的少年人，也不怜恤他们的孤儿寡妇。各人都是亵渎的、行恶的，并且各人的口都说愚妄的话。虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消，祂的手仍伸不缩。（赛九17。）
16Jehovah cut off from Israel head (the elder and the highly regarded) and tail (the prophet and the teacher of falsehood) and those who mislead this people (vv. 14-16). Because of this the Lord would 14 not rejoice in their young men and would not have compassion on their orphans and widows. All of them were profane and evildoers, and every mouth spoke foolishness. By all this Jehovah’s anger was not turned; His hand was still outstretched (v. 17).
五 、审判他们的邪恶
E. On Their Wickedness
17耶和华也审判他们的邪恶。他们的邪恶像火焚烧，烧灭荆棘和蒺藜；在稠密的树林中焟起来，就成为烟柱，旋转上腾。（赛九18。）
17Jehovah’s judgment was also on their wickedness. Their wickedness burned like a fire, devouring thorn and thistle. It burned in the forest thickets, and it rolled up into a column of smoke (v. 18
18六、耶和华的审判－耶和华的烈怒
18F. Jehovah’s Judgment—His Overflowing Wrath
19因耶和华的烈怒，地都烧遍，百姓成为燃料，（赛九19上，）无人怜爱弟兄。（赛九19下。）有人切割左边，仍受饥饿，吞吃右边，仍不饱足。各人吃自己膀臂的肉：玛拿西吞吃以法莲，以法莲吞吃玛拿西，又一同攻击犹大。虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消，祂的手仍伸不缩。（赛九20～21。）
19At the overflowing wrath of Jehovah, a land was burned up, and the people were like fuel for fire (v. 19a). No one spared even his brother (v. 19b). One carved on the left side, but was hungry; and another ate on the right side, but was not satisfied. Each ate the flesh of his own arm: Manasseh, Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh, and these together against Judah. But by all this Jehovah’sang er was not turned; His hand was still outstretched (vv. 20-21
七 、审判他们的不公正
G. On Their Injustice
20耶和华的审判也临到他们的不公正。十章一、二节论到这事说，『祸哉，那些设立奸恶之律例的，和忙于记录纷扰之事的；为要屈枉穷乏人，夺去我民中困苦人的理，以寡妇当作掳物，以孤儿当作掠物。』这两节指明以色列中没有公正。
20Jehovah’s judgment also came upon their injustice. Concerning this, 10:1 and 2 say, “Woe to those who decree decrees of iniquity,/To the busy writers who are busy writing trouble, /In order to turn the needy away from judgment,/And to tear justice away from the poor among my people;/That widows may be their spoil,/And they may plunder orphans.” These verses indicate that there was no justice in Israel
21八、耶和华的审判－降罚的日子
21H. Jehovah’s Judgment—the Day of Visitation
22以赛亚十章三节说，『到降罚的日子，有灾祸从远方临到，那时，你们怎样行？你们向谁逃奔求救？你们的荣耀存留何处？』这里『降罚的日子』指审判的日子，『荣耀』指财富。四节接著说到人屈身在被掳的人以下，仆倒在被杀的人以下。虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消，祂的手仍伸不缩。
22Isaiah 10:3 says, “And what will you do for the day of visitation / And for the devastation that comes from a far? / To whom will you flee for help? / And where will you leave your glory...?” Here the day of visitation refers to the day of judgment, and glory refers to wealth. Verse 4 goes on to speak of one crouching behind prisoners and falling behind the slain. But by all this Jehovah’sang er was not turned; His hand was still outstretched.
肆 、耶和华对亚述的审判
IV . JEHOVAH’S JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA
23在十章五至三十四节，我们也看见耶和华对亚述的审判。
23In 10:5-34 we also see Jehovah’s judgment on Assyria
一 、耶和华审判亚述王的自大
A. Jehovah’s Judgment on the Haughtiness of the King of Assyria
24五至十九节以及二十八至三十四节说到耶和华审判亚述王的自大。
24Verses 5 through 19 and 28 through 34 speak of Jehovah’s judgment on the haughtiness of the king of Assyria
１ .亚述是耶和华怒气的棍
1. Assyria, the Rod of Jehovah’sAng er
25虽然亚述是耶和华怒气的棍，但祂宣布亚述是有祸的。『祸哉，亚述是我怒气的棍，手中拿我恼恨的杖。我打发他攻击亵渎的国民，吩咐他攻击我所恼怒的百姓，抢掳来之财为掳物，夺掠来之货为掠物，将他们践踏，像街上的泥土一样。（赛十5～6。）
25Although Assyria was the rod of Jehovah’sang er, He pronounced woe to Assyria. “Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger!/The staff which is in their hand is My indignation. / Against a profane nation I send them out/And against the people of My overflowing wrath I command them,/To make spoil of the spoil and to prey on the prey,/To make them a trampling ground, like street mire” (vv. 5-6
２ .亚述不这样想，他心也不这样打算
2. Assyria Not Thinking So, and Their Heart Not Conceiving It So
26然而亚述不这样想，他心也不这样打算；（赛十7上；）他心里倒想毁灭，剪除不少的国。（赛十7下～11。）这就是说，因著以色列败坏了，所以神用亚述作棍、作杖来审判以色列。但亚述伸展太多，过了限度，他不这样想，也不这样打算。所以，亚述作得过分了。
26Assyria, however, did not think it so, and their heart did not conceive it so (v. 7a). Rather, destroying was in their heart, and the cutting down of no few nations (vv. 7b-11). This means that because Israel had become corrupt, God used Assyria as a rod and a staff to judge Israel. But Assyria, overstretching beyond the limitation, did not think of the matter in this way, nor did their heart conceive it in this way. Assyria therefore acted excessively
27３.耶和华必罚亚述王自大的心，和他高傲眼目的荣耀
273. Jehovah Punishing the Fruit of the King of Assyria’s Haughtiness of Heart and the Glory of His Haughty Eyes
28十三、十四节暴露亚述王的自大。十二节启示耶和华必惩罚这自大的心。『主在锡安山，和耶路撒冷，成就祂一切工作的时候，主说，我必罚亚述王自大的心，和他高傲眼目的荣耀。』
28Verses 13 and 14 expose the haughtiness of the king of Assyria. Verse 12 reveals that this haughtiness would be punished by Jehovah. “When the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He says, I will punish the fruit of the king of Assyria’s haughtiness of heart and the glory of his haughty eyes
29４.斧岂可向用斧砍木的自夸十五节说，『斧，岂可向用斧砍木的自夸？锯，岂可向用锯的自大？好比棍抡起那举棍的，好比杖举起那非木的人。』这里神是说，是祂用亚述作斧来砍祂的子民，但如今这斧竟向用斧砍木的自夸。所以耶和华必审判亚述王，如十六至十九节所描述的。祂要使亚述王的肥壮人变为瘦弱；在他的荣华之下，必有火焟起，如焚烧一样。不仅如此，以色列的光必如火，祂的圣者必如火焰，在一日之间，将亚述的荆棘和蒺藜，焚烧净尽。耶和华要将他树林，和肥田的荣耀，全然烧尽，亚述王必像患病的人渐渐消瘦一样。
294. The Ax Not to Glorify Itself above Him Who Chops with It Verse 15 says, “Should the ax glorify itself above him who chops with it? / Or should the saw magnify itself above him who wields it? / It would be like the rod wielding him who lifts it up, / Like the staff lifting up him who is not wood.” Here God is saying that it was He who used Assyria as an ax to chop His people, but now this ax is glorifying itself above the One who chopped with it. Jehovah, there fore, would judge the king of Assyria, as described in verses 16 through 19. He would send leanness to the fat ones of the king of Assyria, and under his glory He would kindle a kindling, like the kindling of fire. Furthermore, the Light of Israel would become a fire, and His Holy One a flame; and it would burn and devour his thorns and his thistles in one day. The glory of his forest and of his garden land Jehovah would destroy, both soul and body; and the king of Assyria would be like a sick man wasting away.
５ .亚述王威武的经过许多国家
5. The King of Assyria Moving Terrifyingly through Many Nations
30亚述王威武的经过许多国家，至终向锡安城的山，就是耶路撒冷的山，抡手攻他。（赛十28～32。）
30The king of Assyria moved terrifyingly through many nations and eventually swung his hands over the mountain of the city of Zion, over the hill of Jerusalem (vv. 28-32
６ .主万军之耶和华，以惊吓削去树枝
6. The Lord Jehovah of Hosts Lopping Off the Boughs with an Awful Crash
31主万军之耶和华，以惊吓削去树枝；长高的必被砍下，高大的必被伐倒。稠密的树林，祂要用铁器砍下，利巴嫩的树木必被大能者伐倒。（赛十33～34。）
31The Lord Jehovah of hosts would lop off the boughs with an awful crash. Those which were tall in height would be hewn down, and those which were lofty would be laid low. He would chop away the forest thickets with an iron ax, and Lebanon would fall at the hands of the majestic One (vv. 33-34
二 、以色列的归回与释放
B. The Return and Release of Israel
32以赛亚十章二十至二十七节说到以色列的归回与释放。在对以色列和亚述的审判以后，将有以色列的归回与释放。
32Isaiah 10:20-27 speaks of the return and release of Israel. After the judgment on Israel and the judgment on Assyria, there would be the return and release of Israel
１ .到那日，以色列所剩下的余数，
1. In That Day the Remnant of Israel
33和雅各家所逃脱的，要倚靠耶和华以色列的圣者
33and Those of the House of Jacob Who Have Escaped Relying upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel
34到那日，以色列所剩下的余数，和雅各家所逃脱的，不再倚靠那击打他们的，却要诚实倚靠耶和华以色列的圣者。（赛十20。）诚实倚靠耶和华，就是在真实中倚靠耶和华。
34Then in that day the remnant of Israel and those of the house of Israel who have escaped will no longer rely upon him who strikes them—the king of Assyria—but they will rely upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth (v. 20). To rely upon Jehovah in truth is to rely upon Him in honesty
35二十一节和二十二节上半接著说，『所剩下的余数，就是雅各家所剩下的余数，必归回全能的神。以色列阿，你的百姓虽多如海沙，惟有剩下的余数归回。』保罗在罗马九章二十七节引用了这话。为何只有一些余数要归回？以赛亚十章二十二节下半至二十三节说出了原因：『原来灭绝的事已定，必有公义施行，如水涨溢。因为万军之耶和华，在全地之中，必成就所定规完全毁灭的结局。』
35Verses 21 and 22a go on to say, “A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. For though your people, O Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant among them will return.” This word is quoted by Paul in Romans 9:27. The reason that only a remnant will return is given in Isaiah 10:22b - 23. “A nnihilation is strictly decided, overflowing with righteousness. For utter destruction and a strict decision is Jehovah of hosts performing in the midst of the whole land.”
２ .耶和华告诉住在锡安祂的百姓不要怕亚述
2. Jehovah Telling His People Dwelling in Zion Not to Fear Assyria
36在二十四节，耶和华告诉住在锡安祂的百姓不要怕亚述，就是那用棍击打他们，又照埃及的样子，举杖攻击他们的。然后耶和华在接著的经节说，『因为还有一点点时候，向你们发的忿恨就要完毕，我的怒气要向他发作，使他灭亡。万军之耶和华要兴起鞭来攻击他，好像在俄立磐石那里杀戮米甸人一样。耶和华的杖要向海伸出，把杖举起，像在埃及一样。到那日，亚述王的重担必离开你的肩头，他的轭必离开你的颈项，那轭也必因肥壮的缘故撑断。』（赛十25～27。）我们由此看见，神的审判至终要带进祂子民的归回。
36In verse 2 4 Jehovah tells His people dwelling in Zion not to fear Assyria, which strikes with the rod and lifts up the staff against them the way Egypt did. Then in the following verses Jehovah says, “For in a very little while My indignation will be completed, and My anger will be turned toward their destruction. And against them Jehovah of hosts will rouse up a whip like the stroke against Midian at the rock of Oreb; and His staff will be over these a, and He will lift it up the way He did in Egypt. And in that day their burden will be removed from your shoulders, and their yoke from off your neck; and the yoke will be broken due to the fatness” (vv. 25-27). From this we see that God’s judgment will eventually issue in the return of His people.
