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 lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela [which is] toward 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 wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab 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。
Give counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday: hide the outcasts; bewray not the wanderer.
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; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is brought to nought, spoiling 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 a throne shall be established in mercy, and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David; judging, and seeking judgment, and swift to do 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, [that] he is very proud; even of his arrogancy, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nought.
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 raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, utterly 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; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice plants thereof; they reached even unto Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; her branches were spread abroad, they passed 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 weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the [battle] shout 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 fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the [vintage] shout 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 sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.
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 Moab presenteth himself, when he wearieth himself upon the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail.
13 这是耶和华从前论摩押的话。
This is the word that the LORD spake concerning Moab in time past.
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 the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account.
