Isaiah 14
1 Her time is near at hand, and her days shall not be prolonged. For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose out of Israel, and will make them rest upon their own ground: and the stranger shall be joined with them, and shall adhere 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 people shall take them, and bring them into their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall make them captives that had taken them, and shall subdue 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 that day, that when God shall give thee rest from thy labour, and from thy vexation, and from the hard bondage, wherewith thou didst serve before,
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 Thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and shalt say: How is the oppressor come to nothing, the tribute hath 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 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the rod of the rulers,
耶和華折斷了惡人的杖， 轄制人的圭，
6 That struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, that brought nations under in fury, that persecuted in a cruel manner.
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 quiet and still, it is glad and hath rejoiced.
現在全地得安息，享平靜； 人皆發聲歡呼。
8 The fir trees also have rejoiced over thee, and the cedars of Libanus, saying: Since thou hast slept, there hath none come up to cut us down.
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 Hell below was in an uproar to meet thee at thy coming, it stirred up the giants for thee. All the princes of the earth are risen up from their thrones, all the princes of 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 All shall answer, and say to thee: Thou also art wounded as well as we, thou art become like unto 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 pride is brought down to hell, thy carcass is fallen down: under thee shall the moth be strewed, and worms shall be thy covering. (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 art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations?
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 saidst in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant, in the sides 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 height of the clouds, I will be 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 They that shall see thee, shall turn toward thee, and behold thee. Is this the man that troubled the earth, that 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 That made the world a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof, that opened not the prison to his prisoners?
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 have all of them slept in glory, every 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 art cast out of thy grave, as an unprofitable branch defiled, and wrapped up among them that were slain by the sword, and art gone down to the bottom of the pit, as a rotten carcass.
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 shalt not keep company with them, even in burial: for thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people: the seed of the wicked shall not be named for ever.
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 his children for slaughter for the iniquity of their fathers: they shall not rise up, nor inherit the land, nor 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, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will destroy the name of Babylon, and the remains, and the bud, and the offspring, saith the Lord.
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 And I will make it a possession for the ericius and pools of waters, and I will sweep it and wear it out with a besom, saith the Lord 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 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it be: and as I have purposed,
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 So shall it fall out: That I will destroy the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: and his yoke shall be taken away from them, and his burden shall be taken 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 counsel, that I have purposed upon all the earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all nations.
這是向全地所定的旨意； 這是向萬國所伸出的手。
27 For the Lord of hosts hath decreed, and who can disannul it? and his hand is stretched out: and who shall turn it away?
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 Achaz died, was this burden:
亞哈斯王崩的那年，就有以下的默示：
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Philistia, that the rod of him that struck thee is broken in pieces: for out of the root of the serpent shall come forth a basilisk, and his seed shall swallow the bird.
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 be fed, and the poor shall rest with confidence: and I will make thy root perish with famine, and I will kill thy remnant.
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: all Philistia is thrown down: for a smoke shall come from the north, and there is none that shall escape his troop.
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 And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nations? That the Lord hath founded Sion, and the poor of his people shall hope in him.
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。
