| 依撒意亞 |
Isaiah |
| 1有關瀚海的神諭：猶如風暴由南方掃來；同樣，仇敵將由沙漠，由可怕之地而來。 |
1 Oracle on the wastelands by the sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping in waves through the Negeb, there comes from the desert, from the fearful land, |
| 2一悽慘的神視顯示給我：搶奪的盡量搶奪，破壞的盡量破壞。厄藍，上前！瑪待，圍攻！我要結束所有的歎息！ |
2 A cruel sight, revealed to me: the traitor betrays, the despoiler spoils. "Go up, Elam; besiege, O Media; I will put an end to all groaning!" |
| 3為此我的兩腰滿是酸痛，侵襲我的劇痛無異產婦的痛苦；我惶亂得不能再聽，我昏迷得不能再看。 |
3Therefore my loins are filled with anguish, pangs have seized me like those of a woman in labor; I am too bewildered to hear, too dismayed to look. |
| 4我的心神錯亂了，恐怖驟然襲擊了我；我所渴望的黃昏，為我反成了恐怖。 |
4My mind reels, shuddering assails me; My yearning for twilight has turned into dread. |
| 5盛宴已擺，華毯已舖，人們正在吃喝之際：「將帥們！起來！用油擦盾！」 |
5 They set the table, spread out the rugs; they eat, they drink. Rise up, O princes, oil the shield! |
| 6因為吾主對我這樣說：「去！派置一個警衛，叫他報告他所見的！ |
6For thus says my Lord to me: Go, station a watchman, let him tell what he sees. |
| 7當他見到騎兵隊、一對一對的馬兵、驢隊和駱駝隊時，他要注意，要多多注意！」 |
7If he sees a chariot, a pair of horses, Someone riding an ass, someone riding a camel, Then let him pay heed, very close heed. |
| 8守望者喊叫：「吾主！我整日站在瞭望台上，長夜鵠立在我的守望所。 |
8Then the watchman cried, "On the watchtower, O my Lord, I stand constantly by day; And I stay at my post through all the watches of the night. |
| 9看哪！來了一隊人馬，一對一對的騎兵！」有一個喊叫說：「陷落了！巴比倫陷落了！她所有的神像也都摔碎在地！」 |
9Here he comes now: a single chariot, a pair of horses; He calls out and says, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon, And all the images of her gods are smashed to the ground.'" |
| 10我那被碾軋的百姓，我那禾場上的子民！凡是我由萬軍的上主，以色列的天主所聽到的，我都告訴了你們。 |
10O my people who have been threshed, beaten on my threshing floor! What I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I have announced to you. |
| 11有關厄東的神諭：從色依爾有人向我喊叫說：「警衛！夜已何時了？夜已何時了？」 |
11 Oracle on Edom: They call to me from Seir, "Watchman, how much longer the night? Watchman, how much longer the night?" |
| 12警衛答說：「黎明已至，然而仍是黑夜；如果你們仍要詢問，詢問罷！再來一次！」 |
12The watchman replies, "Morning has come, and again night. If you will ask, ask; come back again." |
| 13有關荒野的神諭：你們在森林中，在荒野裏過宿罷！德丹的商旅， |
13 Oracle on Arabia: In the thicket in the nomad country spend the night, O caravans of Dedanites. |
| 14請攜水出來迎接口渴的人！特瑪地的居民，請備糧接待逃難的人！ |
14Meet the thirsty, bring them water; you who dwell in the land of Tema, greet the fugitives with bread. |
| 15因為他們出逃，是由於面臨刀劍，面臨出鞘的刀劍，面臨已張的弓弩，面臨激烈的戰爭。 |
15They flee from the sword, from the whetted sword; From the taut bow, from the fury of battle. |
| 16上主曾這樣對我說：「照僱工的年限計，還有三年，刻達爾所有的榮耀都要完結； |
16 For thus says the Lord to me: In another year, like those of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall come to an end. |
| 17刻達爾子民的英勇弓手人數，剩下的很少。」因為上主以色列的天主，早就這樣說了。 |
17Few of Kedar's stalwart archers shall remain, for the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken. |
