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, my God art thou; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, resolves of distant times [are become] faithful confirmation.
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 made of a city a stone-heap; of a fortified town a falling ruin; the palace of barbarians ceaseth out of the city, to eternity shall it not be rebuilt.
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 honor thee; the town of the tyrannical 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。
For thou hast become a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy when he is distressed; a protection from the tempest, a shadow from the heat; for the [wrathful] breath of the tyrants is like the tempest 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。
Like heat in a dry land, wilt thou subdue the tumult of the barbarians; as the heat [is lessened] by the shadow of the cloud, so will he subdue the song of the tyrants.
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 will make unto all the nations on this mountain a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
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 will destroy on this mountain the face of the covering which covereth all the people, and the vail that is spread over all the 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 will destroy death to eternity: and the Lord Eternal will wipe away the tear from off all faces; and the shame of his people will he remove from off all the 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 men will say on that day, Lo, this is our God, for whom we have waited that he would help us; this is the Lord for whom we have waited, we will be glad and we will rejoice 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 will rest on this mountain, and Moab shall be trodden down on his own place, even as straw is trodden down upon the dunghill.
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 will spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as the swimmer spreadeth them forth to swim: and he will bring down his pride together with the joints 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 fortress of the stronghold of thy walls he bringeth down, layeth low, casteth it to the ground, even to the dust.
