以賽亞書 16
1 你們當將羊羔奉給那地掌權的， 從西拉往曠野，送到錫安城的山。
O Lord, send forth the Lamb, the Ruler of the earth, from the Rock of the desert to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 摩押的居民在亞嫩渡口， 必像遊飛的鳥，如拆窩的雛。
And this shall be: like a bird fleeing away, and like fledglings flying from the nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the passage of Arnon.
3 求你獻謀略，行公平， 使你的影子在午間如黑夜， 隱藏被趕散的人，不可顯露逃民。
Form a plan. Call a council. Let your shadow be as if it were night, even at midday. Conceal the fugitives, and do not betray the wanderers.
4 求你容我這被趕散的人和你同居。 至於摩押，求你作他的隱密處， 脫離滅命者的面。 勒索人的歸於無有， 毀滅的事止息了， 欺壓人的從國中除滅了，
My fugitives will live with you. Become a hiding place, O Moab, from the face of the destroyer. For the dust is at its end; the miserable one has been consumed. He who trampled the earth has failed.
5 必有寶座因慈愛堅立； 必有一位誠誠實實坐在其上， 在大衛帳幕中施行審判， 尋求公平，速行公義。
And a throne will be prepared in mercy, and One shall sit upon it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment, and quickly repaying what is just.
6 我們聽說摩押人驕傲， 是極其驕傲； 聽說他狂妄、驕傲、忿怒； 他誇大的話是虛空的。
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. His pride and his arrogance and his indignation is more than his strength.
7 因此，摩押人必為摩押哀號； 人人都要哀號。 你們摩押人要為吉珥‧哈列設的葡萄餅哀歎， 極其憂傷。
For this reason, Moab will wail to Moab; each one will wail. Speak of their wounds to those who rejoice upon the brick walls.
8 因為希實本的田地 和西比瑪的葡萄樹都衰殘了。 列國的君主折斷其上美好的枝子； 這枝子長到雅謝延到曠野， 嫩枝向外探出，直探過鹽海。
For the suburbs of Heshbon are deserted, and the lords of the Gentiles have cut down the vineyard of Sibmah. Its vines have arrived even at Jazer. They have wandered in the desert. Its seedlings have been abandoned. They have crossed over the sea.
9 因此，我要為西比瑪的葡萄樹哀哭， 與雅謝人哀哭一樣。 希實本、以利亞利啊， 我要以眼淚澆灌你； 因為有交戰吶喊的聲音 臨到你夏天的果子， 並你收割的莊稼。
I will weep with the tears of Jazer over this, the vineyard of Sibmah. I will inebriate you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh! For the sound of those who trample has rushed over your vintage and over your harvest.
10 從肥美的田中奪去了歡喜快樂； 在葡萄園裏必無歌唱，也無歡呼的聲音。 踹酒的在酒醡中不得踹出酒來； 我使他歡呼的聲音止息。
And so, rejoicing and exultation will be taken away from Carmel, and there will be no jubilation or exultation in the vineyards. He who was accustomed to tread will not tread out the wine in the winepress. I have taken away the sound of those who tread.
11 因此，我心腹為摩押哀鳴如琴； 我心腸為吉珥‧哈列設也是如此。
Over this, my heart will resonate like a harp for Moab, and my inner most being for the brick wall.
12 摩押人朝見的時候，在高處疲乏，又到他聖所祈禱，也不蒙應允。
And this shall be: when it is seen that Moab has struggled upon his high places, he will enter his holy places to pray, but he will not prevail.
13 這是耶和華從前論摩押的話。
This is the word that the Lord has spoken to Moab concerning that time.
14 但現在耶和華說：「三年之內，照雇工的年數，摩押的榮耀與他的群眾必被藐視，餘剩的人甚少無幾。」
And now the Lord has spoken, saying: In three years, like the years of a hired hand, the glory of Moab concerning the entire multitude of the people will be taken away, and what is left behind will be small and weak and not so numerous.
