Isaiah 34
1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
列國啊，要近前來聽！ 眾民哪，要側耳而聽！ 地和其上所充滿的， 世界和其中一切所出的都應當聽！
2 For the indignation of the LORD [is] upon all nations, and [his] fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
因為耶和華向萬國發忿恨， 向他們的全軍發烈怒， 將他們滅盡，交出他們受殺戮。
3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
被殺的必然拋棄， 屍首臭氣上騰； 諸山被他們的血融化。
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree.
天上的萬象都要消沒； 天被捲起，好像書卷。 其上的萬象要殘敗， 像葡萄樹的葉子殘敗， 又像無花果樹的葉子殘敗一樣。
5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
因為我的刀在天上已經喝足； 這刀必臨到以東和我所咒詛的民， 要施行審判。
6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, [and] with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
耶和華的刀滿了血， 用脂油和羊羔、公山羊的血， 並公綿羊腰子的脂油滋潤的； 因為耶和華在波斯拉有獻祭的事， 在以東地大行殺戮。
7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
野牛、牛犢，和公牛要一同下來。 他們的地喝醉了血； 他們的塵土因脂油肥潤。
8 For [it is] the day of the LORD’s vengeance, [and] the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
因耶和華有報仇之日， 為錫安的爭辯有報應之年。
9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
以東的河水要變為石油， 塵埃要變為硫磺； 地土成為燒着的石油，
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
晝夜總不熄滅， 煙氣永遠上騰， 必世世代代成為荒廢， 永永遠遠無人經過。
11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
鵜鶘、箭豬卻要得為業； 貓頭鷹、烏鴉要住在其間。 耶和華必將空虛的準繩， 混沌的線鉈，拉在其上。
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none [shall be] there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
以東人要召貴冑來治國； 那裏卻無一個， 首領也都歸於無有。
13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, [and] a court for owls.
以東的宮殿要長荊棘； 保障要長蒺藜和刺草； 要作野狗的住處， 鴕鳥的居所。
14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
曠野的走獸要和豺狼相遇； 野山羊要與伴偶對叫。 夜間的怪物必在那裏棲身， 自找安歇之處。
15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
箭蛇要在那裏做窩， 下蛋，菢蛋，生子， 聚子在其影下； 鷂鷹各與伴偶聚集在那裏。
16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
你們要查考宣讀耶和華的書。 這都無一缺少， 無一沒有伴偶； 因為我的口已經吩咐， 他的靈將牠們聚集。
17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
他也為牠們拈鬮， 又親手用準繩給牠們分地； 牠們必永得為業， 世世代代住在其間。
