以賽亞書 34
1 萬民，你們前來聆聽！列邦，你們側耳靜聽！大地與充塞其中的一切，世界與其所有的產物，都要諦聽！
You people of all nations, come near and listen and pay careful attention. I want the world and everything that is in it to hear what I say.
2 因為上主向萬民生了氣，對他們的一切軍隊發了怒，他注定了他們的劫數，命定了他們遭受屠殺。
Yahweh is angry with [the people of] all nations; he is (furious/very angry) with all their armies. He has decided that they must be destroyed, and he will slaughter them.
3 他們的被殺者被棄於外，他們屍體的腥臭浮浮上騰，他們的血溶化了諸山。
Their corpses will not be buried, and [as a result] their corpses will stink, and their blood will [fill the streams that] flow down the mountains.
4 天上的萬象必將解體，諸天要如卷軸般捲起；天上的星辰必將隕墜，有如葡萄葉的凋零，有如無花果葉的萎謝。
The sky will disappear like [SIM] a scroll that is rolled up [and thrown away]. Stars will fall [from the sky] like [SIM] [withered] leaves fall from grapevines, [or] like [SIM] shriveled figs fall from fig trees.
5 當上主的刀在天上痛飲之後，看哪！它將若在厄東，落在他所毀滅的百姓身上，實行懲罰。
When Yahweh has finished his work of destroying objects in the sky, he will punish [the people of] Edom, that people-group that he has said must be destroyed/exterminated.
6 上主的刀劍染滿了血，漬滿了脂油，就是羔羊和羚羊的血，以及公羊腎臟的脂油：因為上主在波責辣舉行了一番祭祀，在厄東地方施行了一場屠殺。
[It is as though] Yahweh has a sword that is covered with blood and fat— the blood of lambs and goats and the fat of the kidneys of rams to be sacrificed. [It is as though] Yahweh will offer a sacrifice in [the city of] Bozrah [and kill many people] in other cities in Edom.
7 野牛與肥畜必同墮死，牛犢與公牛必同跌斃。他們的地區浸滿了血，他們的地面漬染了脂油。
[Even] wild oxen will be killed, as well as young calves and big bulls. The ground will be soaked with blood, and the dirt will be covered with the fat of those animals.
8 因為這是上主復讎的日子，是為報復熙雍敵人的一年。
That will be the time when Yahweh gets revenge for what those people did to the people of Judah.
9 她的河水將變為瀝青，她的土壤將變為硫磺：大地成了燃灼的瀝青，
The streams in Edom will be full of burning pitch/tar, and the ground will be covered with burning sulfur.
10 晝夜燃燒不息，濃煙永遠上升；世世代代成為荒野，永久無人經過此地。
Yahweh will never finish punishing Edom with fire; the smoke will rise forever. No one will ever live in that land, and no one will [even] travel through it.
11 鵜鶘和刺蝟據守其地，鴞鴟和烏鴉棲於其間；上主將以破壞性的繩墨和毀滅性的線錘測量那地。
Ravens and various kinds of owls and small animals will live there. Yahweh will measure that land carefully: He will measure it to [to decide where] to cause chaos and destruction.
12 顯貴中沒有一個在那裏能夠建國，她所有的王侯都歸於烏有。
There will be no princes; the people who have authority will have no kingdom to rule.
13 她的宮闕將生滿荊棘，她的保壘將繁生蒺藜和薊草；她將成為豺狼的洞穴，鴕鳥的苑囿。
The deserted palaces and fortified buildings will be full of thorns and thistles. The ruins will be a place for jackals/wolves and owls to live.
14 野貓在那裏將與野狗相會，野羊將呼叫牠的同類；夜間的魑魅將在那裏休憩，尋得一個安息的處所。
Animals that live in the desert and hyenas/wolves will be there, and wild goats will bleat/call to each other. There will also be creatures/animals that [roam around] at night.
15 箭頭蛇將在那裏築穴、下蛋、伏卵，並加以孵化；鷙鳥群集其間，雌雄相配。
Owls will make their nests there and lay their eggs in the nests; and when the eggs hatch, the mother birds will cover them [with their wings]. There will also be falcons/hawks there, each with its mate.
16 你們可查看上主的書，且閱讀一下，牠們中一種也不會缺少，沒有一個沒有配偶的，因為上主的口已這樣命定，他的神集合了牠們。
If you read what is written in the book that contains messages from Yahweh, you will find out what he will do [in Edom]. All of those animals and birds will be there, and each one will have a mate, because that is what Yahweh has promised, and his Spirit will cause them [all] to gather [there].
17 上主親自要為牠們抽籤，他親手用繩索將為牠們分開這地；牠們將永久佔有這地，世世代代住在那裏。
He has decided what parts of the land [of Edom] each will live in, and those are the places where each bird or animal will live. Their descendants will possess those areas forever, throughout all generations.
