Isaiah 25
1 Lord, you are my God. I will honor you and praise who you are, because you have done wonderful things that you planned long ago. You are faithful and trustworthy!
耶和华啊，你是我的 神； 我要尊崇你，我要称赞你的名。 因为你以忠信诚实行过奇妙的事， 成就你古时所定的。
2 You have turned the city into a pile of rubble; the fortified town is now a ruin; the foreigner palace is gone. It is no longer a city and it will never be rebuilt.
你使城变为乱堆， 使坚固城变为荒场， 使外邦人宫殿的城不再为城， 永远不再建造。
3 Because of this powerful nations will honor you; cities of brutal nations will be in awe of you.
所以，刚强的民必荣耀你； 强暴之国的城必敬畏你。
4 But you have protected the poor and needy when they were in trouble, you shielded them from storms and shaded them from the heat. For the actions of brutal people are like rain beating against a wall,
因为当强暴人催逼人的时候， 如同暴风直吹墙壁， 你就作贫穷人的保障， 作困乏人急难中的保障， 作躲暴风之处， 作避炎热的阴凉。
5 like heat in a desert. You end the noisy uprising of foreigners. In the same way that a cloud's shadow cools down the heat of the day, so the song sung by brutal people is silenced.
你要压制外邦人的喧哗， 好像干燥地的热气下落； 禁止强暴人的凯歌， 好像热气被云影消化。
6 On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast for all nations, a lavish feast of aged wines, rich food, and the best meat.
在这山上，万军之耶和华必为万民用肥甘设摆筵席，用陈酒和满髓的肥甘，并澄清的陈酒，设摆筵席。
7 On this mountain he will destroy the veil that covers all the nations, the sheet that is over everyone.
他又必在这山上除灭遮盖万民之物和遮蔽万国蒙脸的帕子。
8 He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away all tears, and everywhere he will take away the humiliation suffered by his people. The Lord has spoken.
他已经吞灭死亡直到永远。主耶和华必擦去各人脸上的眼泪，又除掉普天下他百姓的羞辱，因为这是耶和华说的。
9 At that time his people will say, “Look! This is our God; we have trusted in him and he has saved us! This is the Lord we have been looking for. Now we can be happy and celebrate the salvation he brings!”
到那日，人必说：“看哪，这是我们的 神；我们素来等候他，他必拯救我们。这是耶和华，我们素来等候他，我们必因他的救恩欢喜快乐。”
10 The Lord's hand of protection will be on this mountain. But the Moabites will be trampled underfoot like straw into the water of a manure pit.
耶和华的手必按在这山上；摩押人在所居之地必被践踏，好像干草被践踏在粪池的水中。
11 They will reach out their hands to try and save themselves, like swimmers using their hands to swim, but their pride will be humbled however much they thrash about.
他必在其中伸开手，好像洑水的伸开手洑水一样；但耶和华必使他的骄傲和他手所行的诡计一并败落。
12 Moab, he will demolish your fortress with the high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
耶和华使你城上的坚固高台倾倒，拆平，直到尘埃。
