以賽亞書 14
1 耶和華要憐恤雅各，必再揀選以色列，將他們安置在本地。寄居的必與他們聯合，緊貼雅各家。
For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.
2 外邦人必將他們帶回本土；以色列家必在耶和華的地上得外邦人為僕婢，也要擄掠先前擄掠他們的，轄制先前欺壓他們的。
The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in the LORD’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 當耶和華使你脫離愁苦、煩惱，並人勉強你做的苦工，得享安息的日子，
It will happen in the day that the LORD will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
4 你必題這詩歌論巴比倫王說： 欺壓人的何竟熄滅？ 強暴的何竟止息？
that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”
5 耶和華折斷了惡人的杖， 轄制人的圭，
The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
6 就是在忿怒中連連攻擊眾民的， 在怒氣中轄制列國， 行逼迫無人阻止的。
who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained.
7 現在全地得安息，享平靜； 人皆發聲歡呼。
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.
8 松樹和黎巴嫩的香柏樹 都因你歡樂，說： 自從你仆倒， 再無人上來砍伐我們。
Yes, the cypress trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.”
Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the departed spirits for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 他們都要發言對你說： 你也變為軟弱像我們一樣嗎？ 你也成了我們的樣子嗎？
They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”
Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you. (Sheol h7585)
12 明亮之星，早晨之子啊， 你何竟從天墜落？ 你這攻敗列國的何竟被砍倒在地上？
How you have fallen from heaven, shining one, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
13 你心裏曾說： 我要升到天上； 我要高舉我的寶座在上帝眾星以上； 我要坐在聚會的山上，在北方的極處。
You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!
14 我要升到高雲之上； 我要與至上者同等。
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 凡看見你的都要定睛看你， 留意看你，說： 使大地戰抖， 使列國震動，
Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms,
17 使世界如同荒野， 使城邑傾覆， 不釋放被擄的人歸家， 是這個人嗎？
who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities, who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”
18 列國的君王 俱各在自己陰宅的榮耀中安睡。
All the kings of the nations sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.
19 惟獨你被拋棄， 不得入你的墳墓， 好像可憎的枝子， 以被殺的人為衣， 就是被刀刺透， 墜落坑中石頭那裏的； 你又像被踐踏的屍首一樣。
But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
20 你不得與君王同葬； 因為你敗壞你的國，殺戮你的民。 惡人後裔的名，必永不提說。
You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be named forever.
21 先人既有罪孽， 就要預備殺戮他的子孫， 免得他們興起來，得了遍地， 在世上修滿城邑。
Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.
22 萬軍之耶和華說： 我必興起攻擊他們， 將巴比倫的名號和所餘剩的人， 連子帶孫一併剪除。 這是耶和華說的。
“I will rise up against them,” says the LORD of Armies, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says the LORD.
23 我必使巴比倫為箭豬所得， 又變為水池； 我要用滅亡的掃帚掃淨它。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
“I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the LORD of Armies.
24 萬軍之耶和華起誓說： 我怎樣思想，必照樣成就； 我怎樣定意，必照樣成立，
The LORD of Armies has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 就是在我地上打折亞述人， 在我山上將他踐踏。 他加的軛必離開以色列人； 他加的重擔必離開他們的肩頭。
that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
26 這是向全地所定的旨意； 這是向萬國所伸出的手。
This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 萬軍之耶和華既然定意，誰能廢棄呢？ 他的手已經伸出，誰能轉回呢？
For the LORD of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”
28 亞哈斯王崩的那年，就有以下的默示：
This burden was in the year that King Ahaz died.
29 非利士全地啊， 不要因擊打你的杖折斷就喜樂。 因為從蛇的根必生出毒蛇； 牠所生的是火焰的飛龍。
Don’t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.
30 貧寒人的長子必有所食； 窮乏人必安然躺臥。 我必以饑荒治死你的根； 你所餘剩的人必被殺戮。
The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
31 門哪，應當哀號！ 城啊，應當呼喊！ 非利士全地啊，你都消化了！ 因為有煙從北方出來， 他行伍中並無亂隊的。
Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
32 可怎樣回答外邦的使者呢？ 必說：耶和華建立了錫安； 他百姓中的困苦人必投奔在其中。
What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
