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, ye nations, to hear, And ye peoples, give attention, Hear doth the earth and its fulness, The world, and all its productions.
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 wrath [is] to Jehovah against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He hath devoted them to destruction, He hath given them 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。
And their wounded are cast out, And their carcases cause their stench to ascend, And melted have been mountains from 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 consumed have been all the host of the heavens, And rolled together as a book have been the heavens, And all their hosts do fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a 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 soaked in the heavens was My sword, Lo, on Edom it cometh down, On the people of My curse for judgment.
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。
A sword [is] to Jehovah — it hath been full of blood, It hath been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and he-goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For a sacrifice [is] to Jehovah 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。
And come down have reems with them, And bullocks with bulls, And soaked hath been their land from blood, And their dust from fatness is made fat.
8 因耶和華有報仇之日， 為錫安的爭辯有報應之年。
(For a day of vengeance [is] to Jehovah, A year of recompences for Zion's strife, )
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，
And turned have been her streams to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land hath 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。
By night and by day she is not quenched, To the age go up doth her smoke, From generation to generation she is waste, For ever and ever, none is passing into her.
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。
And possess her do pelican and hedge-hog, And owl and raven dwell in her, And He hath stretched out over her A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.
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。
[To] the kingdom her freemen they call, But there are none there, And all her princes are at an end.
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。
And gone up her palaces have thorns, Nettle and bramble [are] in her fortresses, And it hath been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.
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。
And met have Ziim with Aiim, And the goat for its companion calleth, Only there rested hath the night-owl, And hath found for herself 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 made her nest hath the bittern, Yea, she layeth, and hath hatched, And hath gathered under her shadow, Only there gathered have been vultures, Each with its companion.
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。
Seek out of the book of Jehovah, and read, One of these hath not been lacking, None hath missed its companion, For My mouth — it hath commanded, And His spirit — He hath gathered 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。
And He hath cast for them a lot, And His hand hath apportioned [it] to them by line, Unto the age they possess it, To all generations they dwell in it!
