以賽亞書 25
1 上主！你是我的天主，我要稱揚你，我要讚頌你的名，因為你忠實真誠地成就了你舊日的奇妙計劃。
O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honour to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.
2 因為你使那城成了一堆瓦礫，使設防的城市化為一片荒涼，使傲慢人的城堡不像城市，永遠不得重建。
For you have made a town a waste place: a strong town a mass of broken walls; the tower of the men of pride has come to an end; it will never be put up again.
3 為此，強大的民族要頌揚你，威武邦國的城市要敬畏你。
For this cause will the strong people give glory to you, the town of the cruel ones will be in fear of you.
4 因為你是窮苦人的屏障，是患難中貧乏人的屏障，避風暴的藏身處，避炎熱的蔭涼所；因為殘暴人的狂怒有如冬日的暴風，
For you have been a strong place for the poor and the crushed in their trouble, a safe place from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the wrath of the cruel ones is like a winter storm.
5 有如旱地上的炎熱。傲慢人的狂暴你已抑止，有如濃蔭減輕了熱氣；連殘暴人的歌聲也從此低降。
As heat by the shade of a cloud, the noise of the men of pride has been made quiet by you; as heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the cruel ones has been stopped.
6 萬軍的上主在這座山上，要為萬民擺設肥甘的盛宴，美酒的盛宴；肥甘是精選的，美酒是醇清的。
And in this mountain will the Lord of armies make for all peoples a feast of good things, a feast of wines long stored, of good things sweet to the taste, of wines long kept and tested.
7 在這座山上，你要撤除那封在萬民上的封面，那蓋在各國上的帷幔。
And in this mountain he will put an end to the shade covering the face of all peoples, and the veil which is stretched over all nations.
8 他要永遠取消死亡，吾主上主要從人人的臉上拭去淚痕，要由整個地面除去自己民族的恥辱：因為上主說了。
He has put an end to death for ever; and the Lord God will take away all weeping; and he will put an end to the shame of his people in all the earth: for the Lord has said it.
9 到那一天，人要說：「看！這是我們所依賴拯救我們的天主；這是我們所依賴的上主，我們要因他的救援鼓舞喜樂，
And in that day it will be said, See, this is our God; we have been waiting for him, and he will be our saviour: this is the Lord in whom is our hope; we will be glad and have delight in his salvation.
10 因為上主的手停留在這山上。」敵人要在自己的地方受踐踏，有如禾湝被踐踏在糞坑之中。
For in this mountain will the hand of the Lord come to rest, and Moab will be crushed down in his place, even as the dry stems of the grain are crushed under foot in the waste place.
11 他要在其中伸開雙手，如同游泳的伸手游泳；但他的傲慢和他的手段已受了挫折。
And if he puts out his hands, like a man stretching out his hands in swimming, the Lord will make low his pride, however expert his designs.
12 他城牆上高聳的保壘必被打倒、推翻，倒在地上化為塵埃。
And the strong tower of your walls has been broken by him, made low, and crushed even to the dust.
