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！
Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; 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。
For the wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up 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 shall be cast out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down 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。
And all the hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted fruit 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。
For my sword hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
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 Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth a sacrifice in Bozrah, And 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。
The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground enriched with fat.
8 因耶和華有報仇之日， 為錫安的爭辯有報應之年。
For Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in 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，
Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole land shall become burning 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。
Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; From generation to generation it shall lie waste; None shall pass through it for ever and ever.
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 pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring-line of destruction. And the plummet of desolation.
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。
Her nobles — none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
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。
Thorns shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, A court 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 wild-cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night-spectre light, And find a place of rest.
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 also shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, Every one with her 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 ye the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather them.
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 shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
