以賽亞書 34
1 列國啊，要近前來聽！ 眾民哪，要側耳而聽！ 地和其上所充滿的， 世界和其中一切所出的都應當聽！
Come near, O nations, to listen; pay attention, O peoples. Let the earth hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that springs from it.
2 因為耶和華向萬國發忿恨， 向他們的全軍發烈怒， 將他們滅盡，交出他們受殺戮。
The LORD is angry with all the nations and furious with all their armies. He will devote them to destruction; He will give them over to slaughter.
3 被殺的必然拋棄， 屍首臭氣上騰； 諸山被他們的血融化。
Their slain will be left unburied, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood.
4 天上的萬象都要消沒； 天被捲起，好像書卷。 其上的萬象要殘敗， 像葡萄樹的葉子殘敗， 又像無花果樹的葉子殘敗一樣。
All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.
5 因為我的刀在天上已經喝足； 這刀必臨到以東和我所咒詛的民， 要施行審判。
When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, then it will come down upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
6 耶和華的刀滿了血， 用脂油和羊羔、公山羊的血， 並公綿羊腰子的脂油滋潤的； 因為耶和華在波斯拉有獻祭的事， 在以東地大行殺戮。
The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. It drips with fat— with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 野牛、牛犢，和公牛要一同下來。 他們的地喝醉了血； 他們的塵土因脂油肥潤。
And the wild oxen will fall with them, the young bulls with the strong ones. Their land will be drenched with blood, and their soil will be soaked with fat.
8 因耶和華有報仇之日， 為錫安的爭辯有報應之年。
For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 以東的河水要變為石油， 塵埃要變為硫磺； 地土成為燒着的石油，
Edom’s streams will be turned to tar, and her soil to sulfur; her land will become a blazing pitch.
10 晝夜總不熄滅， 煙氣永遠上騰， 必世世代代成為荒廢， 永永遠遠無人經過。
It will not be quenched—day or night. Its smoke will ascend forever. From generation to generation it will lie desolate; no one will ever again pass through it.
11 鵜鶘、箭豬卻要得為業； 貓頭鷹、烏鴉要住在其間。 耶和華必將空虛的準繩， 混沌的線鉈，拉在其上。
The desert owl and screech owl will possess it, and the great owl and raven will dwell in it. The LORD will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of chaos and a plumb line of destruction.
12 以東人要召貴冑來治國； 那裏卻無一個， 首領也都歸於無有。
No nobles will be left to proclaim a king, and all her princes will come to nothing.
13 以東的宮殿要長荊棘； 保障要長蒺藜和刺草； 要作野狗的住處， 鴕鳥的居所。
Her towers will be overgrown with thorns, her fortresses with thistles and briers. She will become a haunt for jackals, an abode for ostriches.
14 曠野的走獸要和豺狼相遇； 野山羊要與伴偶對叫。 夜間的怪物必在那裏棲身， 自找安歇之處。
The desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another. There the night creature will settle and find her place of repose.
15 箭蛇要在那裏做窩， 下蛋，菢蛋，生子， 聚子在其影下； 鷂鷹各與伴偶聚集在那裏。
There the owl will make her nest; she will lay and hatch her eggs and gather her brood under her shadow. Even there the birds of prey will gather, each with its mate.
16 你們要查考宣讀耶和華的書。 這都無一缺少， 無一沒有伴偶； 因為我的口已經吩咐， 他的靈將牠們聚集。
Search and read the scroll of the LORD: Not one of these will go missing, not one will lack her mate, because He has ordered it by His mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.
17 他也為牠們拈鬮， 又親手用準繩給牠們分地； 牠們必永得為業， 世世代代住在其間。
He has allotted their portion; His hand has distributed it by measure. They will possess it forever; they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
