Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert Sea. As the whirlewindes in the South vse to passe from the wildernesse, so shall it come from the horrible land.
论海旁旷野的默示： 有仇敌从旷野，从可怕之地而来， 好像南方的旋风，猛然扫过。
2 A grieuous vision was shewed vnto me, The transgressour against a transgressour, and the destroyer against a destroyer. Goe vp Elam, besiege Media: I haue caused all the mourning thereof to cease.
令人凄惨的异象已默示于我。 诡诈的行诡诈，毁灭的行毁灭。 以拦哪，你要上去！ 米底亚啊，你要围困！ 主说：我使一切叹息止住。
3 Therefore are my loynes filled with sorow: sorowes haue taken me as the sorowes of a woman that trauayleth: I was bowed downe when I heard it, and I was amased when I sawe it.
所以，我满腰疼痛； 痛苦将我抓住， 好像产难的妇人一样。 我疼痛甚至不能听； 我惊惶甚至不能看。
4 Mine heart failed: fearefulnesse troubled me: the night of my pleasures hath he turned into feare vnto me.
我心慌张，惊恐威吓我。 我所羡慕的黄昏，变为我的战兢。
5 Prepare thou the table: watch in the watch towre: eate, drinke: arise, ye princes, anoynt the shielde.
他们摆设筵席， 派人守望，又吃又喝。 首领啊，你们起来， 用油抹盾牌。
6 For thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Go, set a watchman, to tell what he seeth.
主对我如此说： 你去设立守望的， 使他将所看见的述说。
7 And he sawe a charet with two horsemen: a charet of an asse, and a charet of a camel: and he hearkened and tooke diligent heede.
他看见军队， 就是骑马的一对一对地来， 又看见驴队，骆驼队， 就要侧耳细听。
8 And he cryed, A lyon: my lorde, I stand continually vpon ye watche towre in the day time, and I am set in my watche euery night:
他像狮子吼叫，说： 主啊，我白日常站在望楼上， 整夜立在我守望所。
9 And beholde, this mans charet commeth with two horsemen. And he answered and said, Babel is fallen: it is fallen, and all the images of her gods hath he broken vnto the ground.
看哪，有一队军兵骑着马， 一对一对地来。 他就说：巴比伦倾倒了！倾倒了！ 他一切雕刻的神像都打碎于地。
10 O my threshing, and the corne of my floore. That which I haue heard of the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, haue I shewed vnto you.
我被打的禾稼，我场上的谷啊， 我从万军之耶和华— 以色列的 神那里所听见的，都告诉你们了。
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth vnto me out of Seir, Watchman, what was in ye night? Watchman, what was in the night?
论度玛的默示： 有人声从西珥呼问我说： 守望的啊，夜里如何？ 守望的啊，夜里如何？
12 The watchman saide, The morning commeth, and also the night. If yee will aske, enquire: returne and come.
守望的说： 早晨将到，黑夜也来。 你们若要问就可以问， 可以回头再来。
13 The burden against Arabia. In the forest of Arabia shall yee tarie all night, euen in the waies of Dedanim.
论阿拉伯的默示： 底但结伴的客旅啊， 你们必在阿拉伯的树林中住宿。
14 O inhabitants of the lande of Tema, bring foorth water to meete the thirstie, and preuent him that fleeth with his bread.
提玛地的居民拿水来，送给口渴的， 拿饼来迎接逃避的。
15 For they flee from the drawen swords, euen from the drawen sword, and from the bent bowe, and from the grieuousnesse of warre.
因为他们逃避刀剑和出了鞘的刀， 并上了弦的弓与刀兵的重灾。
16 For thus hath the Lord sayd vnto me, Yet a yeere according to the yeeres of an hireling, and all the glorie of Kedar shall faile.
主对我这样说：“一年之内，照雇工的年数，基达的一切荣耀必归于无有。
17 And the residue of the nomber of ye strong archers of the sonnes of Kedar shall be fewe: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
弓箭手所余剩的，就是基达人的勇士，必然稀少，因为这是耶和华—以色列的 神说的。”
