以赛亚书 25
1 耶和华啊，你是我的 神； 我要尊崇你，我要称赞你的名。 因为你以忠信诚实行过奇妙的事， 成就你古时所定的。
O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee; I will praise thy name, For thou hast done wonderful things; Thine ancient purposes are faithfulness and truth.
2 你使城变为乱堆， 使坚固城变为荒场， 使外邦人宫殿的城不再为城， 永远不再建造。
Thou hast made the city a heap; The fortified city a ruin. The palace of the barbarians is to be no more a city! It shall never be built again.
3 所以，刚强的民必荣耀你； 强暴之国的城必敬畏你。
Therefore shall mighty kingdoms praise thee; The cities of the terrible nations shall honor thee;
4 因为当强暴人催逼人的时候， 如同暴风直吹墙壁， 你就作贫穷人的保障， 作困乏人急难中的保障， 作躲暴风之处， 作避炎热的阴凉。
For thou hast been a defence to the poor; A defence to the needy in his distress; A refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, When the rage of tyrants was like a storm against a wall.
5 你要压制外邦人的喧哗， 好像干燥地的热气下落； 禁止强暴人的凯歌， 好像热气被云影消化。
As heat in a dry land is made to vanish, So thou puttest down the tumult of the barbarians; As heat is allayed by a thick cloud, So the triumph of the tyrants is brought low.
6 在这山上，万军之耶和华必为万民用肥甘设摆筵席，用陈酒和满髓的肥甘，并澄清的陈酒，设摆筵席。
Then in this mountain shall Jehovah of hosts prepare for all nations A feast of fat things, and wines kept on the lees; Of fat things full of marrow, of wines kept on the lees well refined.
7 他又必在这山上除灭遮盖万民之物和遮蔽万国蒙脸的帕子。
He will destroy in this mountain the covering that was cast over all people, And the veil that was spread over all nations.
8 他已经吞灭死亡直到永远。主耶和华必擦去各人脸上的眼泪，又除掉普天下他百姓的羞辱，因为这是耶和华说的。
He will destroy death forever; The Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces, And the reproach of his people will he take away from the whole earth; For Jehovah hath said it.
9 到那日，人必说：“看哪，这是我们的 神；我们素来等候他，他必拯救我们。这是耶和华，我们素来等候他，我们必因他的救恩欢喜快乐。”
In that day shall men say, “Behold, this is our God; We waited for him, and he hath saved us; This is Jehovah, for whom we waited; Let us rejoice and exult in his salvation.”
10 耶和华的手必按在这山上；摩押人在所居之地必被践踏，好像干草被践踏在粪池的水中。
For the hand of Jehovah shall rest upon this mountain, And Moab shall be trodden down in his place, As straw is trodden down in a dung-pool.
11 他必在其中伸开手，好像洑水的伸开手洑水一样；但耶和华必使他的骄傲和他手所行的诡计一并败落。
And he shall stretch out his hands in the midst of it, As the swimmer stretcheth out his hands to swim, But God shall put down his pride, Together with the devices of his hands.
12 耶和华使你城上的坚固高台倾倒，拆平，直到尘埃。
And the high bulwarks of thy walls will he lay low; He will bring them down to the ground; he will lay them in the dust.
