< Isaiah 25 >
1 O LORD, Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name, for Thou hast done wonderful things; even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth.
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 For Thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin; a castle of strangers to be no city, it shall never be built.
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 Therefore shall the strong people glorify Thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear Thee.
所以,刚强的民必荣耀你; 强暴之国的城必敬畏你。
4 For Thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones was as a storm against the 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 As the heat in a dry place, Thou didst subdue the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones was brought low.
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 And in this mountain will the LORD of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
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 And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that is cast over all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
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 swallow up death for ever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of His people will He take away from off all the earth; for the LORD hath spoken it.
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 And it shall be said in that day: 'Lo, this is our God, for whom we waited, that He might save us; this is the LORD, for whom we waited, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.'
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 For in this mountain will the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the dunghill.
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 And when he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim, his pride shall be brought down together with the cunning of his hands.
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 And the high fortress of thy walls will He bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
耶和华使你城上的坚固高台倾倒,拆平,直到尘埃。
