以赛亚书 14
1 耶和华要怜恤雅各，必再拣选以色列，将他们安置在本地。寄居的必与他们联合，紧贴雅各家。
For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again He will choose Israel and settle them in their own land. The foreigner will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.
2 外邦人必将他们带回本土；以色列家必在耶和华的地上得外邦人为仆婢，也要掳掠先前掳掠他们的，辖制先前欺压他们的。
The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.
3 当耶和华使你脱离愁苦、烦恼，并人勉强你做的苦工，得享安息的日子，
On the day that the LORD gives you rest from your pain and torment, and from the hard labor into which you were forced,
4 你必题这诗歌论巴比伦王说： 欺压人的何竟息灭？ 强暴的何竟止息？
you will sing this song of contempt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased, and how his fury has ended!
5 耶和华折断了恶人的杖， 辖制人的圭，
The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers.
6 就是在忿怒中连连攻击众民的， 在怒气中辖制列国， 行逼迫无人阻止的。
It struck the peoples in anger with unceasing blows; it subdued the nations in rage with relentless persecution.
7 现在全地得安息，享平静； 人皆发声欢呼。
All the earth is at peace and at rest; they break out in song.
8 松树和黎巴嫩的香柏树 都因你欢乐，说： 自从你仆倒， 再无人上来砍伐我们。
Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon exult over you: “Since you have been laid low, no woodcutter comes against us.”
Sheol beneath is eager to meet you upon your arrival. It stirs the spirits of the dead to greet you— all the rulers of the earth. It makes all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
10 他们都要发言对你说： 你也变为软弱像我们一样吗？ 你也成了我们的样子吗？
They will all respond to you, saying, “You too have become weak, as we are; you have become like us!”
Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol, along with the music of your harps. Maggots are your bed and worms your blanket. (Sheol h7585)
12 明亮之星，早晨之子啊， 你何竟从天坠落？ 你这攻败列国的何竟被砍倒在地上？
How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations.
13 你心里曾说： 我要升到天上； 我要高举我的宝座在 神众星以上； 我要坐在聚会的山上，在北方的极处。
You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north.
14 我要升到高云之上； 我要与至上者同等。
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
But you will be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 凡看见你的都要定睛看你， 留意看你，说： 使大地战抖， 使列国震动，
Those who see you will stare; they will ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made the kingdoms tremble,
17 使世界如同荒野， 使城邑倾覆， 不释放被掳的人归家， 是这个人吗？
who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”
18 列国的君王 俱各在自己阴宅的荣耀中安睡。
All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.
19 惟独你被抛弃， 不得入你的坟墓， 好像可憎的枝子， 以被杀的人为衣， 就是被刀刺透， 坠落坑中石头那里的； 你又像被践踏的尸首一样。
But you are cast out of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and dumped into a rocky pit like a carcass trampled underfoot.
20 你不得与君王同葬； 因为你败坏你的国，杀戮你的民。 恶人后裔的名，必永不提说。
You will not join them in burial, since you have destroyed your land and slaughtered your own people. The offspring of the wicked will never again be mentioned.
21 先人既有罪孽， 就要预备杀戮他的子孙， 免得他们兴起来，得了遍地， 在世上修满城邑。
Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the iniquities of their forefathers. They will never rise up to possess a land or cover the earth with their cities.
22 万军之耶和华说： 我必兴起攻击他们， 将巴比伦的名号和所余剩的人， 连子带孙一并剪除。 这是耶和华说的。
“I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will cut off from Babylon her name and her remnant, her offspring and her posterity,”
23 我必使巴比伦为箭猪所得， 又变为水池； 我要用灭亡的扫帚扫净它。 这是万军之耶和华说的。
“I will make her a place for owls and for swamplands; I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
24 万军之耶和华起誓说： 我怎样思想，必照样成就； 我怎样定意，必照样成立，
The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.
25 就是在我地上打折亚述人， 在我山上将他践踏。 他加的轭必离开以色列人； 他加的重担必离开他们的肩头。
I will break Assyria in My land; I will trample him on My mountain. His yoke will be taken off My people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”
26 这是向全地所定的旨意； 这是向万国所伸出的手。
This is the plan devised for the whole earth, and this is the hand stretched out over all the nations.
27 万军之耶和华既然定意，谁能废弃呢？ 他的手已经伸出，谁能转回呢？
The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?
28 亚哈斯王崩的那年，就有以下的默示：
In the year that King Ahaz died, this burden was received:
29 非利士全地啊， 不要因击打你的杖折断就喜乐。 因为从蛇的根必生出毒蛇； 它所生的是火焰的飞龙。
Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken. For a viper will spring from the root of the snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.
30 贫寒人的长子必有所食； 穷乏人必安然躺卧。 我必以饥荒治死你的根； 你所余剩的人必被杀戮。
Then the firstborn of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety, but I will kill your root by famine, and your remnant will be slain.
31 门哪，应当哀号！ 城啊，应当呼喊！ 非利士全地啊，你都消化了！ 因为有烟从北方出来， 他行伍中并无乱队的。
Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! Melt away, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.
32 可怎样回答外邦的使者呢？ 必说：耶和华建立了锡安； 他百姓中的困苦人必投奔在其中。
What answer will be given to the envoys of that nation? “The LORD has founded Zion, where His afflicted people will find refuge.”
