Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold Damascus shall cease to be a city, and shall be as a ruinous heap of stones.
論大馬士革的默示： 看哪，大馬士革已被廢棄，不再為城， 必變作亂堆。
2 The cities of Aroer shall be left for flocks, and they shall rest there, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
亞羅珥的城邑已被撇棄， 必成為牧羊之處； 羊在那裏躺臥，無人驚嚇。
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.
以法蓮不再有保障； 大馬士革不再有國權； 亞蘭所剩下的 必像以色列人的榮耀消滅一樣。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
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，雅各的榮耀必至枵薄； 他肥胖的身體必漸瘦弱。
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.
就必像收割的人收斂禾稼， 用手割取穗子， 又像人在利乏音谷拾取遺落的穗子。
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.
其間所剩下的不多，好像人打橄欖樹－ 在儘上的枝梢上只剩兩三個果子； 在多果樹的旁枝上只剩四五個果子。 這是耶和華－以色列的上帝說的。
7 In that day man shall bow down himself to his Maker, and his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.
當那日，人必仰望造他們的主，眼目重看以色列的聖者。
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.
他們必不仰望祭壇，就是自己手所築的，也不重看自己指頭所做的，無論是木偶是日像。
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，他們的堅固城必像樹林中和山頂上所撇棄的地方，就是從前在以色列人面前被人撇棄的。這樣，地就荒涼了。
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.
因你忘記救你的上帝， 不記念你能力的磐石； 所以，你栽上佳美的樹秧子， 插上異樣的栽子。
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.
栽種的日子，你周圍圈上籬笆， 又到早晨使你所種的開花； 但在愁苦極其傷痛的日子， 所收割的都飛去了。
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！多民鬨嚷，好像海浪匉訇； 列邦奔騰，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.
列邦奔騰，好像多水滔滔； 但上帝斥責他們，他們就遠遠逃避， 又被追趕，如同山上的風前糠， 又如暴風前的旋風土。
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.
到晚上有驚嚇，未到早晨他們就沒有了。這是擄掠我們之人所得的分，是搶奪我們之人的報應。
