Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
论大马士革的默示： 看哪，大马士革已被废弃，不再为城， 必变作乱堆。
2 The cities of Aroer [are] forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid.
亚罗珥的城邑已被撇弃， 必成为牧羊之处； 羊在那里躺卧，无人惊吓。
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
以法莲不再有保障； 大马士革不再有国权； 亚兰所剩下的 必像以色列人的荣耀消灭一样。 这是万军之耶和华说的。
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, [that] the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
到那日，雅各的荣耀必至枵薄； 他肥胖的身体必渐瘦弱。
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
就必像收割的人收敛禾稼， 用手割取穗子， 又像人在利乏音谷拾取遗落的穗子。
6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two [or] three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four [or] five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.
其间所剩下的不多，好像人打橄榄树— 在尽上的枝梢上只剩两三个果子； 在多果树的旁枝上只剩四五个果子。 这是耶和华—以色列的 神说的。
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
当那日，人必仰望造他们的主，眼目重看以色列的圣者。
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect [that] which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
他们必不仰望祭坛，就是自己手所筑的，也不重看自己指头所做的，无论是木偶是日像。
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
在那日，他们的坚固城必像树林中和山顶上所撇弃的地方，就是从前在以色列人面前被人撇弃的。这样，地就荒凉了。
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
因你忘记救你的 神， 不记念你能力的磐石； 所以，你栽上佳美的树秧子， 插上异样的栽子。
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: [but] the harvest [shall be] a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
栽种的日子，你周围圈上篱笆， 又到早晨使你所种的开花； 但在愁苦极其伤痛的日子， 所收割的都飞去了。
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, [which] make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, [that] make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
唉！多民哄嚷，好像海浪匉訇； 列邦奔腾，好像猛水滔滔；
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but [God] shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
列邦奔腾，好像多水滔滔； 但 神斥责他们，他们就远远逃避， 又被追赶，如同山上的风前糠， 又如暴风前的旋风土。
14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; [and] before the morning he [is] not. This [is] the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
到晚上有惊吓，未到早晨他们就没有了。这是掳掠我们之人所得的分，是抢夺我们之人的报应。
