Esias 27
1 In that day God shall bring [his] holy and great and strong sword upon the dragon, even the serpent that flees, upon the dragon, the crooked serpent: he shall destroy the dragon.
到那一天，上主要用他那厲害、巨大、猛烈的劍，來懲罰「里外雅堂」飛龍，和「里外雅堂」蜿蛇；並要擊殺海中的蛟龍。
2 In that day [there shall be] a fair vineyard, [and] a desire to commence [a song] concerning it.
到那一天，你們要唱「那可愛的葡萄園」歌：「
3 I am a strong city, a city in a siege: in vain shall I water it; for it shall be taken by night, and by day the wall shall fall.
我，上主，親自作它的護守者，時加灌溉；我要日夜護守，免得受人侵害。
4 There is no woman that has not taken hold of it; who will set me to watch stubble in the field? because of this enemy I have set her aside; therefore on this account the Lord has done all that he appointed.
我再沒有怒氣；萬一有了荊棘和蒺藜，我必前去攻擊，將它完全焚毀；
5 I am burnt up; they that dwell in her shall cry, Let us make peace with him, let us make peace,
除非不求我保護，不與我講和，不與我和好．．．」
6 they that are coming are the children of Jacob. Israel shall bud and blossom, and the world shall be filled with his fruit.
來自雅各伯將生根，以色列要發芽開花，她的果實要佈滿地面。
7 Shall he himself be thus struck, even as he struck? and as he killed, shall he be thus slain?
上主打擊以色列，那裏像他打擊那些打擊以色列的人呢﹖上主擊殺以色列，那裏像他擊殺那些擊殺以色列的人呢﹖
8 Fighting and reproaching he will dismiss them; did you not meditate with a harsh spirit, to kill them with a wrathful spirit?
上主以離棄，以驅逐，懲罰了她；在吹東風的日子，藉巨風將她捲去。
9 Therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be taken away; and this is his blessing, when I shall have taken away his sin; when they shall have broken to pieces all the stones of the altars as fine dust, and their trees shall not remain, and their idols shall be cut off, as a thicket afar off.
惟其如此，雅各伯的罪過方得消除；她的罪孽得以赦免的代價，即在於她將祭壇所有的石塊，打得粉碎有如石灰，不在樹立「阿舍辣」和太陽柱。
10 The flock that lived [there] shall be left, as a deserted flock; and [the ground] shall be for a long time for pasture, and there shall flocks lie down to rest.
的確，設防的城市已荒涼，成了被撇下和放棄的住宅，有如荒野。牛犢在那裏牧放，在那裏偃臥，吃盡了那裏的枝葉。
11 And after a time there shall be in it no green thing because of [the grass] being parched. Come hither, you women that come from a sight; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them shall have no pity upon them, and he that formed them shall have no mercy [upon them].
幾時樹枝枯萎，就自會斷落，婦女便來拿去燒火；她既不是個聰敏的民族，因此那創造她的，對她沒有憐憫；那形成她的，對她也不表恩情。
12 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] God shall fence [men] off from the channel of the river as far as Rhinocorura; but do you gather one by one the children of Israel.
到那一天，上主要從大河流域到埃及河畔收割果實，以色列子民啊！你們都要一個一個地被聚集起來。
13 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] they shall blow the great trumpet, and the lost ones in the land of the Assyrians shall come, and the lost ones in Egypt, and shall worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
到那一天，要吹起大號筒，凡是在亞述失迷的，在埃及地分散的，都要前來，在耶路撒冷聖山，朝拜上主。
