以賽亞書 27
1 到那日，耶和華必用他剛硬有力的大刀刑罰鱷魚－就是那快行的蛇，刑罰鱷魚－就是那曲行的蛇，並殺海中的大魚。
On that day will the Lord punish with his heavy and great and strong sword leviathan the flying serpent, and leviathan the crooked servant; and he will slay the crocodile that is in the sea.
2 當那日，有出酒的葡萄園， 你們要指這園唱歌說：
On that day sing ye a song of the vineyard of excellent wine.
3 我－耶和華是看守葡萄園的； 我必時刻澆灌， 晝夜看守， 免得有人損害。
“I the Lord do keep it; every moment will I water it: that no one shall hurt it, night and day will I keep it.
4 我心中不存忿怒。 惟願荊棘蒺藜與我交戰， 我就勇往直前， 把它一同焚燒。
Wrath have I not: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would pass through them, and I would burn them altogether.
5 不然，讓它持住我的能力， 使它與我和好， 願它與我和好。
If he but take hold of my strength, make peace with me; make peace with me.”
6 將來雅各要扎根， 以色列要發芽開花； 他們的果實必充滿世界。
In the future shall Jacob yet take root; Israel shall bud and blossom, and shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 主擊打他們， 豈像擊打那些擊打他們的人嗎？ 他們被殺戮， 豈像被他們所殺戮的嗎？
Hath he smitten him, as he smote the one that smote him? or was he slain with the same slaughter as those of him that were slain?
8 你打發他們去， 是相機宜與他們相爭； 颳東風的日子， 就用暴風將他們逐去。
In measure, by driving him forth, thou strivest with him: he removed him with his violent storm on the day of the east wind.
9 所以，雅各的罪孽得赦免， 他的罪過得除掉的果效，全在乎此： 就是他叫祭壇的石頭變為打碎的灰石， 以致木偶和日像不再立起。
Therefore by this [only] shall the iniquity of Jacob be atoned; and this shall be all the fruit of the taking away of his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as limestones that are beaten in pieces, when there shall not arise again any groves and sun-images.
10 因為堅固城變為淒涼， 成了撇下離棄的居所，像曠野一樣； 牛犢必在那裏吃草， 在那裏躺臥，並吃盡其中的樹枝。
For [by this] the fortified city shall be desolate, the habitation be forsaken, and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall it lie down, and consume its branches.
11 枝條枯乾，必被折斷； 婦女要來點火燒着。 因為這百姓蒙昧無知， 所以，創造他們的必不憐恤他們； 造成他們的也不施恩與他們。
When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off; women will come and set them on fire; for it is not a people of understanding; therefore he that made it will not have mercy on it, and he that formed it will show it no favor.
12 以色列人哪，到那日，耶和華必從大河，直到埃及小河，將你們一一地收集，如同人打樹拾果一樣。
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will beat off [the fruit] from the channel of the River up to the brook of Egypt; but ye shall be gathered up one by one, ye children of Israel.
13 當那日，必大發角聲，在亞述地將要滅亡的，並在埃及地被趕散的，都要來，他們就在耶路撒冷聖山上敬拜耶和華。
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the great cornet shall be blown, and then shall come those who are lost in the land of Asshur, and those who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, and they shall prostrate themselves before the Lord on the holy mount at Jerusalem.
