以赛亚书 16
1 你们当将羊羔奉给那地掌权的， 从西拉往旷野，送到锡安城的山。
Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 摩押的居民在亚嫩渡口， 必像游飞的鸟，如拆窝的雏。
For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
3 求你献谋略，行公平， 使你的影子在午间如黑夜， 隐藏被赶散的人，不可显露逃民。
Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
4 求你容我这被赶散的人和你同居。 至于摩押，求你作他的隐密处， 脱离灭命者的面。 勒索人的归于无有， 毁灭的事止息了， 欺压人的从国中除灭了，
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 必有宝座因慈爱坚立； 必有一位诚诚实实坐在其上， 在大卫帐幕中施行审判， 寻求公平，速行公义。
And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
6 我们听说摩押人骄傲， 是极其骄傲； 听说他狂妄、骄傲、忿怒； 他夸大的话是虚空的。
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
7 因此，摩押人必为摩押哀号； 人人都要哀号。 你们摩押人要为吉珥·哈列设的葡萄饼哀叹， 极其忧伤。
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.
8 因为希实本的田地 和西比玛的葡萄树都衰残了。 列国的君主折断其上美好的枝子； 这枝子长到雅谢延到旷野， 嫩枝向外探出，直探过盐海。
For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: YHWH s of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
9 因此，我要为西比玛的葡萄树哀哭， 与雅谢人哀哭一样。 希实本、以利亚利啊， 我要以眼泪浇灌你； 因为有交战呐喊的声音 临到你夏天的果子， 并你收割的庄稼。
Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
10 从肥美的田中夺去了欢喜快乐； 在葡萄园里必无歌唱，也无欢呼的声音。 踹酒的在酒榨中不得踹出酒来； 我使他欢呼的声音止息。
And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.
11 因此，我心腹为摩押哀鸣如琴； 我心肠为吉珥·哈列设也是如此。
Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-haresh.
12 摩押人朝见的时候，在高处疲乏，又到他圣所祈祷，也不蒙应允。
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
13 这是耶和华从前论摩押的话。
This is the word that YHWH hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.
14 但现在耶和华说：“三年之内，照雇工的年数，摩押的荣耀与他的群众必被藐视，余剩的人甚少无几。”
But now YHWH hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
