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。
Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mount 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。
For it shall be, [that], as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, [so] the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords 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。
Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noon-day; hide the outcasts; discover not him that wandereth.
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，
Let my outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
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 in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
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: [even] of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies [shall] not [be] so.
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。
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn; surely [they are] stricken.
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 fields of Heshbon languish, [and] the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down her principal plants, they have come [even] to Jazer, they wandered [through] the wilderness: her branches are extended, they have gone 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。
Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
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 gladness is taken away, and joy from the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in [their] presses; I have made [their vintage] -shouting to cease.
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。
Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir-haresh.
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 it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
13 這是耶和華從前論摩押的話。
This [is] the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since 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。」
But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and] feeble.
