< Isaiah 27 >

1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan (sea serpent) the piercing serpent, even leviathan (sea serpent) that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
到那日,耶和华必用他刚硬有力的大刀刑罚鳄鱼—就是那快行的蛇,刑罚鳄鱼—就是那曲行的蛇,并杀海中的大鱼。
2 In that day sing all of you unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
当那日,有出酒的葡萄园, 你们要指这园唱歌说:
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
我—耶和华是看守葡萄园的; 我必时刻浇灌, 昼夜看守, 免得有人损害。
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
我心中不存忿怒。 惟愿荆棘蒺藜与我交战, 我就勇往直前, 把它一同焚烧。
5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
不然,让它持住我的能力, 使它与我和好, 愿它与我和好。
6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
将来雅各要扎根, 以色列要发芽开花; 他们的果实必充满世界。
7 Has he smitten him, as he stroke those that stroke him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
主击打他们, 岂像击打那些击打他们的人吗? 他们被杀戮, 岂像被他们所杀戮的吗?
8 In measure, when it shoots forth, you will debate with it: he stays his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
你打发他们去, 是相机宜与他们相争; 刮东风的日子, 就用暴风将他们逐去。
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in two, the groves and images shall not stand up.
所以,雅各的罪孽得赦免, 他的罪过得除掉的果效,全在乎此: 就是他叫祭坛的石头变为打碎的灰石, 以致木偶和日像不再立起。
10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
因为坚固城变为凄凉, 成了撇下离弃的居所,像旷野一样; 牛犊必在那里吃草, 在那里躺卧,并吃尽其中的树枝。
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favour.
枝条枯干,必被折断; 妇女要来点火烧着。 因为这百姓蒙昧无知, 所以,创造他们的必不怜恤他们; 造成他们的也不施恩与他们。
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and all of you shall be gathered one by one, O all of you children of Israel.
以色列人哪,到那日,耶和华必从大河,直到埃及小河,将你们一一地收集,如同人打树拾果一样。
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
当那日,必大发角声,在亚述地将要灭亡的,并在埃及地被赶散的,都要来,他们就在耶路撒冷圣山上敬拜耶和华。
