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。
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
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。
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 所以，刚强的民必荣耀你； 强暴之国的城必敬畏你。
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
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。
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating 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。
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
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。
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
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。
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
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 get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has 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。”
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
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。
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
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。
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 耶和华使你城上的坚固高台倾倒，拆平，直到尘埃。
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
