Isaiah |
| 1那具有翼艇，位於雇士河對岸的地域， |
1 Ah, land of buzzing insects, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, |
| 2即由海上遣發使者，在海面上乘蘆舟的：「去罷！輕快的使者！到一個高瘦膚褐的民族那裏去，到一個一向可畏的國家那裏去，到一個強大而好勝，河流橫貫其地的民族那裏去！」 |
2Sending ambassadors by sea, in papyrus boats on the waters! Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and bronzed, To a people dreaded near and far, a nation strong and conquering, whose land is washed by rivers. |
| 3舉世的居民和住在大地上的人哪！當山上的旗幟一舉，你們要觀望；號聲一響，你們要靜聽！ |
3All you who inhabit the world, who dwell on earth, When the signal is raised on the mountain, look! When the trumpet blows, listen! |
| 4因為上主曾對我這樣說：「我要在我的住處寧靜地觀察，彷彿日光中溫暖的熱氣，彷彿收割時炎熱中的露雲。」 |
4For thus says the LORD to me: I will quietly look on from where I dwell, Like the glowing heat of sunshine, like a cloud of dew at harvest time. |
| 5因為在收割前，花苞已放；花蒂成熟結為葡萄時，他就要用鐮刀砍去嫩枝，將參差的枝蔓斬除。 |
5Before the vintage, when the flowering is ended, and the blooms are succeeded by ripening grapes, Then comes the cutting of branches with pruning hooks and the discarding of the lopped-off shoots. |
| 6這些枝蔓都要一律被棄捨給山中的猛禽，和地上的野獸；猛禽要在其上過夏，野獸要在其上過冬。 |
6They shall all be left to the mountain birds of prey, and to the beasts in the land; The birds of prey shall summer on them and on them all the beasts of the earth shall winter. |
| 7到那時，那高瘦膚褐的民族，那一向可畏的國家，那強大而好勝，河流橫貫其地的民族，要帶禮品到熙雍山上，萬軍上主的名號的居所，獻給萬軍的上主。 |
7Then will gifts be brought to the LORD of hosts from a people tall and bronzed, from a people dreaded near and far, a nation strong and conquering, whose land is washed by rivers-to Mount Zion where dwells the name of the LORD of hosts. |
