Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Beholde, Damascus is taken away from being a citie, for it shall be a ruinous heape.
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 forsaken: they shall be for the flockes: for they shall lye there, and none shall make them afraide.
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 The munition also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdome from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
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 in that day the glorie of Iaakob shall be impouerished, and the fatnes of his flesh shalbe made leane.
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 shalbe as when the haruest man gathereth the corne, and reapeth the eares with his arme, and he shall be as he that gathereth the eares in the valley of Rephaim.
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 Yet a gathering of grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an oliue tree, two or three beries are in the top of the vpmost boughes, and foure or fiue in the hie branches of the fruite thereof, sayeth the Lord 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 At that day shall a man looke to his maker, and his eyes shall looke 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 hee shall not looke to the altars, the workes of his owne hands, neither shall he looke to those thinges, which his owne fingers haue made, as groues and images.
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 shall the cities of their strength be as the forsaking of boughes and branches, which they did forsake, because of the children of Israel, and there shall be desolation.
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 the God of thy saluation, and hast not remembred the God of thy strength, therefore shalt thou set pleasant plantes, and shalt graffe strange vine branches:
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 shalt thou make thy plant to growe, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seede to florish: but the haruest shall be gone in the day of possession, and there shalbe desperate sorrowe.
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 Ah, the multitude of many people, they shall make a sounde like the noyse of the sea: for the noyse of the people shall make a sounde like the noyse of mightie waters.
唉！多民哄嚷，好像海浪匉訇； 列邦奔腾，好像猛水滔滔；
13 The people shall make a sounde like the noise of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee farre off, and shalbe chased as the chaffe of the mountaines before the winde, and as a rolling thing before the whirlewinde.
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 And loe, in the euening there is trouble: but afore the morning it is gone. This is the portion of them that spoyle vs, and the lot of them that robbe vs.
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。
