Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold Damascus shall cease to be a city, and shall be as a ruinous heap of stones.
论大马士革的默示： 看哪，大马士革已被废弃，不再为城， 必变作乱堆。
2 The cities of Aroer shall be left for flocks, and they shall rest there, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
亚罗珥的城邑已被撇弃， 必成为牧羊之处； 羊在那里躺卧，无人惊吓。
3 And aid shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: and the remnant of Syria shall be as the glory of the children of Israel: saith the Lord of hosts.
以法莲不再有保障； 大马士革不再有国权； 亚兰所剩下的 必像以色列人的荣耀消灭一样。 这是万军之耶和华说的。
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall grow lean.
到那日，雅各的荣耀必至枵薄； 他肥胖的身体必渐瘦弱。
5 And it shall be as when one gathereth in the harvest that which remaineth, and his arm shall gather the ears of corn: and it shall be as he that seeketh ears in the vale of Raphaim.
就必像收割的人收敛禾稼， 用手割取穗子， 又像人在利乏音谷拾取遗落的穗子。
6 And the fruit thereof that shall be left upon it, shall be as one cluster of grapes, and as the shaking of the olive tree, two or three berries in the top of a bough, or four or five upon the top of the tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.
其间所剩下的不多，好像人打橄榄树— 在尽上的枝梢上只剩两三个果子； 在多果树的旁枝上只剩四五个果子。 这是耶和华—以色列的 神说的。
7 In that day man shall bow down himself to his Maker, and his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.
当那日，人必仰望造他们的主，眼目重看以色列的圣者。
8 And he shall not look to the altars which his hands made: and he shall not have respect to the things that his fingers wrought, such as groves and temples.
他们必不仰望祭坛，就是自己手所筑的，也不重看自己指头所做的，无论是木偶是日像。
9 In that day his strong cities shall be forsaken, as the ploughs, and the corn that were left before the face of the children of Israel, and thou shalt be desolate.
在那日，他们的坚固城必像树林中和山顶上所撇弃的地方，就是从前在以色列人面前被人撇弃的。这样，地就荒凉了。
10 Because thou hast forgotten God thy saviour, and hast not remembered thy strong helper: therefore shalt thou plant good plants, and shalt sow strange seed.
因你忘记救你的 神， 不记念你能力的磐石； 所以，你栽上佳美的树秧子， 插上异样的栽子。
11 In the day of thy planting shall be the wild grape, and in the morning thy seed shall flourish: the harvest is taken away in the day of inheritance, and shall grieve thee much.
栽种的日子，你周围圈上篱笆， 又到早晨使你所种的开花； 但在愁苦极其伤痛的日子， 所收割的都飞去了。
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, like the multitude of the roaring sea: and the tumult of crowds, like the noise of many waters.
唉！多民哄嚷，好像海浪匉訇； 列邦奔腾，好像猛水滔滔；
13 Nations shall make a noise like the noise of waters overflowing, but he shall rebuke him, and he shall flee far off: and he shall be carried away as the dust of the mountains before the wind, and as a whirlwind before a tempest.
列邦奔腾，好像多水滔滔； 但 神斥责他们，他们就远远逃避， 又被追赶，如同山上的风前糠， 又如暴风前的旋风土。
14 In the time of the evening, behold there shall be trouble: the morning shall come, and he shall not be: this is the portion of them that have wasted us, and the lot of them that spoiled us.
到晚上有惊吓，未到早晨他们就没有了。这是掳掠我们之人所得的分，是抢夺我们之人的报应。
