以赛亚书 34
1 列国啊，要近前来听！ 众民哪，要侧耳而听！ 地和其上所充满的， 世界和其中一切所出的都应当听！
Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; The world, and all that springs from it!
2 因为耶和华向万国发忿恨， 向他们的全军发烈怒， 将他们灭尽，交出他们受杀戮。
For the wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up to slaughter.
3 被杀的必然抛弃， 尸首臭气上腾； 诸山被他们的血融化。
Their slain shall be cast out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down with their blood.
4 天上的万象都要消没； 天被卷起，好像书卷。 其上的万象要残败， 像葡萄树的叶子残败， 又像无花果树的叶子残败一样。
And all the hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted fruit from the fig-tree.
5 因为我的刀在天上已经喝足； 这刀必临到以东和我所咒诅的民， 要施行审判。
For my sword hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
6 耶和华的刀满了血， 用脂油和羊羔、公山羊的血， 并公绵羊腰子的脂油滋润的； 因为耶和华在波斯拉有献祭的事， 在以东地大行杀戮。
The sword of Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 野牛、牛犊，和公牛要一同下来。 他们的地喝醉了血； 他们的尘土因脂油肥润。
The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground enriched with fat.
8 因耶和华有报仇之日， 为锡安的争辩有报应之年。
For Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in the cause of Zion.
9 以东的河水要变为石油， 尘埃要变为硫磺； 地土成为烧着的石油，
Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole land shall become burning pitch.
10 昼夜总不熄灭， 烟气永远上腾， 必世世代代成为荒废， 永永远远无人经过。
Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; From generation to generation it shall lie waste; None shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 鹈鹕、箭猪却要得为业； 猫头鹰、乌鸦要住在其间。 耶和华必将空虚的准绳， 混沌的线铊，拉在其上。
The pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring-line of destruction. And the plummet of desolation.
12 以东人要召贵胄来治国； 那里却无一个， 首领也都归于无有。
Her nobles — none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
13 以东的宫殿要长荆棘； 保障要长蒺藜和刺草； 要作野狗的住处， 鸵鸟的居所。
Thorns shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, A court for ostriches.
14 旷野的走兽要和豺狼相遇； 野山羊要与伴偶对叫。 夜间的怪物必在那里栖身， 自找安歇之处。
The wild-cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night-spectre light, And find a place of rest.
15 箭蛇要在那里做窝， 下蛋，抱蛋，生子， 聚子在其影下； 鹞鹰各与伴偶聚集在那里。
There also shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, Every one with her mate.
16 你们要查考宣读耶和华的书。 这都无一缺少， 无一没有伴偶； 因为我的口已经吩咐， 他的灵将它们聚集。
Search ye the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather them.
17 他也为它们拈阄， 又亲手用准绳给它们分地； 它们必永得为业， 世世代代住在其间。
He shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
