Isaiah 34
1 Come neere, ye nations and heare, and hearken, ye people: let the earth heare and all that is therein, the world and al that proceedeth thereof.
萬民，你們前來聆聽！列邦，你們側耳靜聽！大地與充塞其中的一切，世界與其所有的產物，都要諦聽！
2 For the indignation of the Lord is vpon all nations, and his wrath vpon all their armies: hee hath destroyed them and deliuered them to the slaughter.
因為上主向萬民生了氣，對他們的一切軍隊發了怒，他注定了他們的劫數，命定了他們遭受屠殺。
3 And their slaine shalbe cast out, and their stincke shall come vp out of their bodies, and the mountaines shalbe melted with their blood.
他們的被殺者被棄於外，他們屍體的腥臭浮浮上騰，他們的血溶化了諸山。
4 And all the hoste of heauen shalbe dissolued, and the heauens shall be folden like a booke: and all their hostes shall fall as the leafe falleth from the vine, and as it falleth from the figtree.
天上的萬象必將解體，諸天要如卷軸般捲起；天上的星辰必將隕墜，有如葡萄葉的凋零，有如無花果葉的萎謝。
5 For my sword shalbe drunken in the heauen: beholde, it shall come downe vpon Edom, euen vpon the people of my curse to iudgement.
當上主的刀在天上痛飲之後，看哪！它將若在厄東，落在他所毀滅的百姓身上，實行懲罰。
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood: it is made fat with the fat and with the blood of the lambes and the goates, with the fat of the kidneis of the rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
上主的刀劍染滿了血，漬滿了脂油，就是羔羊和羚羊的血，以及公羊腎臟的脂油：因為上主在波責辣舉行了一番祭祀，在厄東地方施行了一場屠殺。
7 And the vnicorne shall come downe with them and the heiffers with the bulles, and their lande shalbe drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatnesse.
野牛與肥畜必同墮死，牛犢與公牛必同跌斃。他們的地區浸滿了血，他們的地面漬染了脂油。
8 For it is the day of the Lordes vengeance, and the yeere of recompence for the iudgement of Zion.
因為這是上主復讎的日子，是為報復熙雍敵人的一年。
9 And the riuers thereof shall be turned into pitche, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shalbe burning pitch.
她的河水將變為瀝青，她的土壤將變為硫磺：大地成了燃灼的瀝青，
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day: the smoke thereof shall goe vp euermore: it shall be desolate from generation to generation: none shall passe through it for euer.
晝夜燃燒不息，濃煙永遠上升；世世代代成為荒野，永久無人經過此地。
11 But the pelicane and the hedgehog shall possesse it, and the great owle, and the rauen shall dwel in it, and he shall stretch out vpon it the line of vanitie, and the stones of emptinesse.
鵜鶘和刺蝟據守其地，鴞鴟和烏鴉棲於其間；上主將以破壞性的繩墨和毀滅性的線錘測量那地。
12 The nobles thereof shall call to the kingdome, and there shalbe none, and all the princes thereof shalbe as nothing.
顯貴中沒有一個在那裏能夠建國，她所有的王侯都歸於烏有。
13 And it shall bring foorth thornes in the palaces thereof, nettles and thistles in the strong holdes thereof, and it shall be an habitation for dragons, and a court for ostriches.
她的宮闕將生滿荊棘，她的保壘將繁生蒺藜和薊草；她將成為豺狼的洞穴，鴕鳥的苑囿。
14 There shall meete also Ziim and Iim, and the Satyre shall cry to his fellow, and the shricheowle shall rest there, and shall finde for her selfe a quiet dwelling.
野貓在那裏將與野狗相會，野羊將呼叫牠的同類；夜間的魑魅將在那裏休憩，尋得一個安息的處所。
15 There shall the owle make her nest, and laye, and hatche, and gather them vnder her shadowe: there shall the vultures also bee gathered, euery one with her make.
箭頭蛇將在那裏築穴、下蛋、伏卵，並加以孵化；鷙鳥群集其間，雌雄相配。
16 Seeke in the booke of the Lord, and reade: none of these shall fayle, none shall want her make: for his mouth hath commanded, and his very Spirit hath gathered them.
你們可查看上主的書，且閱讀一下，牠們中一種也不會缺少，沒有一個沒有配偶的，因為上主的口已這樣命定，他的神集合了牠們。
17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath deuided it vnto them by line: they shall possesse it for euer: from generation to generation shall they dwell in it.
上主親自要為牠們抽籤，他親手用繩索將為牠們分開這地；牠們將永久佔有這地，世世代代住在那裏。
