Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw.
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示，论巴比伦。
2 Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates.
应当在净光的山竖立大旗， 向群众扬声招手， 使他们进入贵胄的门。
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory.
我吩咐我所挑出来的人； 我招呼我的勇士— 就是那矜夸高傲之辈， 为要成就我怒中所定的。
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war.
山间有多人的声音， 好像是大国人民。 有许多国的民聚集哄嚷的声音； 这是万军之耶和华点齐军队，预备打仗。
5 To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.
他们从远方来， 从天边来， 就是耶和华并他恼恨的兵器 要毁灭这全地。
6 Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord.
你们要哀号， 因为耶和华的日子临近了！ 这日来到， 好像毁灭从全能者来到。
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt,
所以，人手都必软弱； 人心都必消化。
8 And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt.
他们必惊惶悲痛； 愁苦必将他们抓住。 他们疼痛，好像产难的妇人一样， 彼此惊奇相看，脸如火焰。
9 Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
耶和华的日子临到， 必有残忍、忿恨、烈怒， 使这地荒凉， 从其中除灭罪人。
10 For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
天上的众星群宿都不发光； 日头一出就变黑暗； 月亮也不放光。
11 And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
我必因邪恶刑罚世界， 因罪孽刑罚恶人， 使骄傲人的狂妄止息， 制伏强暴人的狂傲。
12 A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.
我必使人比精金还少， 使人比俄斐纯金更少。
13 For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath.
我—万军之耶和华在忿恨中发烈怒的日子， 必使天震动， 使地摇撼，离其本位。
14 And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
人必像被追赶的鹿， 像无人收聚的羊， 各归回本族， 各逃到本土。
15 Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword.
凡被仇敌追上的必被刺死； 凡被捉住的必被刀杀。
16 Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished.
他们的婴孩必在他们眼前摔碎； 他们的房屋必被抢夺； 他们的妻子必被玷污。
17 Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire gold:
我必激动米底亚人来攻击他们。 米底亚人不注重银子， 也不喜爱金子。
18 But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons.
他们必用弓击碎少年人， 不怜悯妇人所生的， 眼也不顾惜孩子。
19 And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha.
巴比伦素来为列国的荣耀， 为迦勒底人所矜夸的华美， 必像 神所倾覆的所多玛、蛾摩拉一样。
20 It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there.
其内必永无人烟， 世世代代无人居住。 阿拉伯人也不在那里支搭帐棚； 牧羊的人也不使羊群卧在那里。
21 But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there:
只有旷野的走兽卧在那里； 咆哮的兽满了房屋。 鸵鸟住在那里； 野山羊在那里跳舞。
22 And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
豺狼必在它宫中呼号； 野狗必在它华美殿内吼叫。 巴比伦受罚的时候临近； 它的日子必不长久。
