以賽亞書 24
1 看哪，耶和華使地空虛，變為荒涼； 又翻轉大地，將居民分散。
Behold the Lord shall lay waste the earth, and shall strip it, and shall afflict the face thereof, and scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2 那時百姓怎樣，祭司也怎樣； 僕人怎樣，主人也怎樣； 婢女怎樣，主母也怎樣； 買物的怎樣，賣物的也怎樣； 放債的怎樣，借債的也怎樣； 取利的怎樣，出利的也怎樣。
And it shall be as with the people, so with the priest: and as with the servant, so with his master: as with the handmaid, so with her mistress: as with the buyer, so with the seller: as with the lender, so with the borrower: as with him that calleth for his money, so with him that oweth.
3 地必全然空虛，盡都荒涼； 因為這話是耶和華說的。
With desolation shall the earth be laid waste, and it shall be utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.
4 地上悲哀衰殘， 世界敗落衰殘； 地上居高位的人也敗落了。
The earth mourned, and faded away, and is weakened: the world faded away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened.
5 地被其上的居民污穢； 因為他們犯了律法， 廢了律例，背了永約。
And the earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant.
6 所以，地被咒詛吞滅； 住在其上的顯為有罪。 地上的居民被火焚燒， 剩下的人稀少。
Therefore shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be left.
7 新酒悲哀，葡萄樹衰殘； 心中歡樂的俱都歎息。
The vintage hath mourned, the vine hath languished away, all the merryhearted have sighed.
8 擊鼓之樂止息； 宴樂人的聲音完畢， 彈琴之樂也止息了。
The mirth of timbrels hath ceased, the noise of them that rejoice is ended, the melody of the harp is silent.
9 人必不得飲酒唱歌； 喝濃酒的，必以為苦。
They shall not drink wine with a song: the drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
10 荒涼的城拆毀了； 各家關門閉戶，使人都不得進去。
The city of vanity is broken down, every house is shut up, no man cometh in.
11 在街上因酒有悲歎的聲音； 一切喜樂變為昏暗； 地上的歡樂歸於無有。
There shall be a crying for wine in the streets: all mirth is forsaken: the joy of the earth is gone away.
12 城中只有荒涼； 城門拆毀淨盡。
Desolation is left in the city, and calamity shall oppress the gates.
13 在地上的萬民中， 必像打過的橄欖樹， 又像已摘的葡萄所剩無幾。
For it shall be thus in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people, as if a few olives, that remain, should be shaken out of the olive tree: or grapes, when the vintage is ended.
14 這些人要高聲歡呼； 他們為耶和華的威嚴，從海那裏揚起聲來。
These shall lift up their voice, and shall give praise: when the Lord shall be glorified, they shall make a joyful noise from the sea.
15 因此，你們要在東方榮耀耶和華， 在眾海島榮耀耶和華－以色列上帝的名。
Therefore glorify ye the Lord in instruction: the name of the Lord God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
16 我們聽見從地極有人歌唱，說： 榮耀歸於義人。 我卻說：我消滅了！ 我消滅了，我有禍了！ 詭詐的行詭詐； 詭詐的大行詭詐。
From the ends of the earth we have heard praises, the glory of the just one. And I said: My secret to myself, my secret to myself, woe is me: the prevaricators have prevaricated, and with the prevarication of transgressors they have prevaricated.
17 地上的居民哪， 恐懼、陷坑、網羅都臨近你。
Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, O thou inhabitant of the earth.
18 躲避恐懼聲音的必墜入陷坑； 從陷坑上來的必被網羅纏住； 因為天上的窗戶都開了， 地的根基也震動了。
And it shall come to pass, that he that shall flee from the noise of the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that shall rid himself out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the flood-gates from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
19 地全然破壞，盡都崩裂， 大大地震動了。
With breaking shall the earth be broken, with crushing shall the earth be crushed, with trembling shall the earth be moved.
20 地要東倒西歪，好像醉酒的人； 又搖來搖去，好像吊床。 罪過在其上沉重， 必然塌陷，不能復起。
With shaking shall the earth be shaken as a drunken man, and shall be removed as the tent of one night: and the iniquity thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fell, and not rise again.
21 到那日，耶和華在高處必懲罰高處的眾軍， 在地上必懲罰地上的列王。
And it shall come to pass, that in that day the Lord shall visit upon the host of heaven on high, and upon the kings of the earth, on the earth.
22 他們必被聚集，像囚犯被聚在牢獄中， 並要囚在監牢裏， 多日之後便被討罪。
And they shall be gathered together as in the gathering of one bundle into the pit, and they shall be shut up there in prison: and after many days they shall be visited.
23 那時，月亮要蒙羞，日頭要慚愧； 因為萬軍之耶和華必在錫安山， 在耶路撒冷作王； 在敬畏他的長老面前，必有榮耀。
And the moon shall blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, and shall be glorified in the sight of his ancients.
