Isaiah 14
1 For Jehovah will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. And the sojourner shall join himself with them, and they shall cling to the house of Jacob.
耶和華要憐恤雅各，必再揀選以色列，將他們安置在本地。寄居的必與他們聯合，緊貼雅各家。
2 And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place. And the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and for handmaids. And they shall take them captive whose captives they were, and they shall rule over their oppressors.
外邦人必將他們帶回本土；以色列家必在耶和華的地上得外邦人為僕婢，也要擄掠先前擄掠他們的，轄制先前欺壓他們的。
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that Jehovah shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service in which thou were made to serve,
當耶和華使你脫離愁苦、煩惱，並人勉強你做的苦工，得享安息的日子，
4 that thou shall take up this taunt against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the oppressor ceased, the golden city ceased!
你必題這詩歌論巴比倫王說： 欺壓人的何竟熄滅？ 強暴的何竟止息？
5 Jehovah has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
耶和華折斷了惡人的杖， 轄制人的圭，
6 who smote the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
就是在忿怒中連連攻擊眾民的， 在怒氣中轄制列國， 行逼迫無人阻止的。
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break forth into singing.
現在全地得安息，享平靜； 人皆發聲歡呼。
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou are laid low, no hewer has come up against us.
松樹和黎巴嫩的香柏樹 都因你歡樂，說： 自從你仆倒， 再無人上來砍伐我們。
9 Sheol from beneath is moved for thee, to meet thee at thy coming. It stirs up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
你下到陰間， 陰間就因你震動來迎接你， 又因你驚動在世曾為首領的陰魂， 並使那曾為列國君王的， 都離位站起。 (Sheol h7585)
10 They shall all answer and say to thee, Have thou also become weak as we? Have thou become like us?
他們都要發言對你說： 你也變為軟弱像我們一樣嗎？ 你也成了我們的樣子嗎？
11 Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol, and the noise of thy viols. The worm is spread under thee, and worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
你的威勢和你琴瑟的聲音都下到陰間。 你下鋪的是蟲，上蓋的是蛆。 (Sheol h7585)
12 How thou are fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How thou are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
明亮之星，早晨之子啊， 你何竟從天墜落？ 你這攻敗列國的何竟被砍倒在地上？
13 And thou said in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the outermost parts of the north.
你心裏曾說： 我要升到天上； 我要高舉我的寶座在上帝眾星以上； 我要坐在聚會的山上，在北方的極處。
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will make myself like the Most High.
我要升到高雲之上； 我要與至上者同等。
然而，你必墜落陰間， 到坑中極深之處。 (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see thee shall gaze at thee. They shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms,
凡看見你的都要定睛看你， 留意看你，說： 使大地戰抖， 使列國震動，
17 who made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities of it, who did not let loose his prisoners to their home?
使世界如同荒野， 使城邑傾覆， 不釋放被擄的人歸家， 是這個人嗎？
18 All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, each one in his own house.
列國的君王 俱各在自己陰宅的榮耀中安睡。
19 But thou are cast forth away from thy sepulcher like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit, as a dead body trodden under foot.
惟獨你被拋棄， 不得入你的墳墓， 好像可憎的枝子， 以被殺的人為衣， 就是被刀刺透， 墜落坑中石頭那裏的； 你又像被踐踏的屍首一樣。
20 Thou shall not be joined with them in burial, because thou have destroyed thy land. Thou have slain thy people. The seed of evildoers shall not be named forever.
你不得與君王同葬； 因為你敗壞你的國，殺戮你的民。 惡人後裔的名，必永不提說。
21 Prepare ye slaughter for his sons for the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up, and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.
先人既有罪孽， 就要預備殺戮他的子孫， 免得他們興起來，得了遍地， 在世上修滿城邑。
22 And I will rise up against them, says Jehovah of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son's son, says Jehovah.
萬軍之耶和華說： 我必興起攻擊他們， 將巴比倫的名號和所餘剩的人， 連子帶孫一併剪除。 這是耶和華說的。
23 I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. And I will sweep it with the broom of destruction, says Jehovah of hosts.
我必使巴比倫為箭豬所得， 又變為水池； 我要用滅亡的掃帚掃淨它。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
24 Jehovah of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought, so shall it come to pass, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand,
萬軍之耶和華起誓說： 我怎樣思想，必照樣成就； 我怎樣定意，必照樣成立，
25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot upon my mountains. Then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder.
就是在我地上打折亞述人， 在我山上將他踐踏。 他加的軛必離開以色列人； 他加的重擔必離開他們的肩頭。
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
這是向全地所定的旨意； 這是向萬國所伸出的手。
27 For Jehovah of hosts has purposed, and who shall annul it? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
萬軍之耶和華既然定意，誰能廢棄呢？ 他的手已經伸出，誰能轉回呢？
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
亞哈斯王崩的那年，就有以下的默示：
29 Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken. For out of the serpent's root shall come forth an adder, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
非利士全地啊， 不要因擊打你的杖折斷就喜樂。 因為從蛇的根必生出毒蛇； 牠所生的是火焰的飛龍。
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety. And I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
貧寒人的長子必有所食； 窮乏人必安然躺臥。 我必以饑荒治死你的根； 你所餘剩的人必被殺戮。
31 Howl, O gate, cry, O city. Thou are melted away, O Philistia, all of thee. For there comes a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
門哪，應當哀號！ 城啊，應當呼喊！ 非利士全地啊，你都消化了！ 因為有煙從北方出來， 他行伍中並無亂隊的。
32 What then shall a man answer the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah has founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of his people take refuge.
可怎樣回答外邦的使者呢？ 必說：耶和華建立了錫安； 他百姓中的困苦人必投奔在其中。
