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.

耶和華啊，你是我的上帝； 我要尊崇你，我要稱讚你的名。 因為你以忠信誠實行過奇妙的事， 成就你古時所定的。

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.

你使城變為亂堆， 使堅固城變為荒場， 使外邦人宮殿的城不再為城， 永遠不再建造。

3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify Thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear Thee.

所以，剛強的民必榮耀你； 強暴之國的城必敬畏你。

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.

因為當強暴人催逼人的時候， 如同暴風直吹牆壁， 你就作貧窮人的保障， 作困乏人急難中的保障， 作躲暴風之處， 作避炎熱的陰涼。

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.

你要壓制外邦人的喧嘩， 好像乾燥地的熱氣下落； 禁止強暴人的凱歌， 好像熱氣被雲影消化。

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.

在這山上，萬軍之耶和華必為萬民用肥甘設擺筵席，用陳酒和滿髓的肥甘，並澄清的陳酒，設擺筵席。

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.

他又必在這山上除滅遮蓋萬民之物和遮蔽萬國蒙臉的帕子。

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.

他已經吞滅死亡直到永遠。主耶和華必擦去各人臉上的眼淚，又除掉普天下他百姓的羞辱，因為這是耶和華說的。

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，人必說：「看哪，這是我們的上帝；我們素來等候他，他必拯救我們。這是耶和華，我們素來等候他，我們必因他的救恩歡喜快樂。」

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.

耶和華的手必按在這山上；摩押人在所居之地必被踐踏，好像乾草被踐踏在糞池的水中。

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.

他必在其中伸開手，好像洑水的伸開手洑水一樣；但耶和華必使他的驕傲和他手所行的詭計一併敗落。

12 And the high fortress of thy walls will He bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

耶和華使你城上的堅固高臺傾倒，拆平，直到塵埃。
