以賽亞書 27
1 到那一天，上主要用他那厲害、巨大、猛烈的劍，來懲罰「里外雅堂」飛龍，和「里外雅堂」蜿蛇；並要擊殺海中的蛟龍。
In that day will Jehovah punish with his sword, His hard, and great, and strong sword, The leviathan, that fleet serpent, Even the leviathan, that winding serpent; Yea, he will slay the monster, that is in the sea.
2 到那一天，你們要唱「那可愛的葡萄園」歌：「
In that day, sing ye thus concerning the vineyard:
3 我，上主，親自作它的護守者，時加灌溉；我要日夜護守，免得受人侵害。
“I, Jehovah, am its guardian; I will water it every moment; That no one may assault it, I will watch it day and night.
4 我再沒有怒氣；萬一有了荊棘和蒺藜，我必前去攻擊，將它完全焚毀；
There is no fury in me; But let me find the thorns and thistles in battle. I will go against them, And burn them up together,
5 除非不求我保護，不與我講和，不與我和好．．．」
Unless they take hold of my protection, And with me make peace, And make peace with me.”
6 來自雅各伯將生根，以色列要發芽開花，她的果實要佈滿地面。
In coming days shall Jacob take root, And Israel flourish and bud forth, And fill the world with fruit.
7 上主打擊以色列，那裏像他打擊那些打擊以色列的人呢﹖上主擊殺以色列，那裏像他擊殺那些擊殺以色列的人呢﹖
Did he smite Israel, as he smote those that smote him? Was he slain as those that slew him?
8 上主以離棄，以驅逐，懲罰了她；在吹東風的日子，藉巨風將她捲去。
In measure, by sending her away, didst thou punish her, Taking her away in the rough tempest, in the day of the east wind.
9 惟其如此，雅各伯的罪過方得消除；她的罪孽得以赦免的代價，即在於她將祭壇所有的石塊，打得粉碎有如石灰，不在樹立「阿舍辣」和太陽柱。
By this, therefore, is the iniquity of Jacob expiated, And this is wholly the fruit of the removal of his sin, That He has made the stones of the altar like limestones broken in pieces, And that the images of Astarte and the sun-pillars no more stand.
10 的確，設防的城市已荒涼，成了被撇下和放棄的住宅，有如荒野。牛犢在那裏牧放，在那裏偃臥，吃盡了那裏的枝葉。
For the fortified city is desolate, A habitation forsaken, deserted like a wilderness; There doth the calf feed, and there doth he lie down, And consume her branches.
11 幾時樹枝枯萎，就自會斷落，婦女便來拿去燒火；她既不是個聰敏的民族，因此那創造她的，對她沒有憐憫；那形成她的，對她也不表恩情。
When her boughs are withered, they are broken off; Women come, and burn them; For it was a people of no understanding; Therefore he that made him had not mercy on him, And he that formed him showed him no favor.
12 到那一天，上主要從大河流域到埃及河畔收割果實，以色列子民啊！你們都要一個一個地被聚集起來。
But it shall come to pass in that day, That Jehovah shall gather fruit From the stream of the Euphrates to the river of Egypt, And ye shall be gathered, one by one, ye children of Israel!
13 到那一天，要吹起大號筒，凡是在亞述失迷的，在埃及地分散的，都要前來，在耶路撒冷聖山，朝拜上主。
In that day shall a great trumpet be sounded, And they shall come who are lost in the land of Assyria, And are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship Jehovah upon the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
