以賽亞書 25

1 耶和華啊，你是我的上帝； 我要尊崇你，我要稱讚你的名。 因為你以忠信誠實行過奇妙的事， 成就你古時所定的。

O Lord, thou art my God, I will exalt thee, and give glory to thy name: for thou hast done wonderful things, thy designs of old faithful, amen.

2 你使城變為亂堆， 使堅固城變為荒場， 使外邦人宮殿的城不再為城， 永遠不再建造。

For thou hast reduced the city to a heap, the strong city to ruin, the house of strangers, to be no city, and to be no more built up for ever.

3 所以，剛強的民必榮耀你； 強暴之國的城必敬畏你。

Therefore shall a strong people praise thee, the city of mighty nations shall fear thee.

4 因為當強暴人催逼人的時候， 如同暴風直吹牆壁， 你就作貧窮人的保障， 作困乏人急難中的保障， 作躲暴風之處， 作避炎熱的陰涼。

Because thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress: a refuge from the whirlwind, a shadow from the heat. For the blast of the mighty is like a whirlwind beating against a wall.

5 你要壓制外邦人的喧嘩， 好像乾燥地的熱氣下落； 禁止強暴人的凱歌， 好像熱氣被雲影消化。

Thou shalt bring down the tumult of strangers, as heat in thirst: and as with heat under a burning cloud, thou shalt make the branch of the mighty to wither away.

6 在這山上，萬軍之耶和華必為萬民用肥甘設擺筵席，用陳酒和滿髓的肥甘，並澄清的陳酒，設擺筵席。

And the Lord of hosts shall make unto all people in this mountain, a feast of fat things, a feast of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of wine purified from the lees.

7 他又必在這山上除滅遮蓋萬民之物和遮蔽萬國蒙臉的帕子。

And he shall destroy in this mountain the face of the bond with which all people were tied, and the web that he began over all nations.

8 他已經吞滅死亡直到永遠。主耶和華必擦去各人臉上的眼淚，又除掉普天下他百姓的羞辱，因為這是耶和華說的。

He shall cast death down headlong for ever: and the Lord God shall wipe away tears from every face, and the reproach of his people he shall take away from off the whole earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

9 到那日，人必說：「看哪，這是我們的上帝；我們素來等候他，他必拯救我們。這是耶和華，我們素來等候他，我們必因他的救恩歡喜快樂。」

And they shall say in that day: Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord, we have patiently waited for him, we shall rejoice and be joyfull in his salvation.

10 耶和華的手必按在這山上；摩押人在所居之地必被踐踏，好像乾草被踐踏在糞池的水中。

For the hand of the Lord shall rest in this mountain: and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is broken in pieces with the wain.

11 他必在其中伸開手，好像洑水的伸開手洑水一樣；但耶和華必使他的驕傲和他手所行的詭計一併敗落。

And he shall stretch forth his hands under him, as he that swimmeth stretcheth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down his glory with the dashing of his hands.

12 耶和華使你城上的堅固高臺傾倒，拆平，直到塵埃。

And the bulwarks of thy high walls shall fall, and be brought low, and shall be pulled down to the ground, even to the dust.
