Esias 13
1 THE VISION WHICH ESAIAS SON OF AMOS SAW AGAINST BABYLON.
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示，论巴比伦。
2 Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open [the gates], you rulers.
应当在净光的山竖立大旗， 向群众扬声招手， 使他们进入贵胄的门。
3 I give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting.
我吩咐我所挑出来的人； 我招呼我的勇士— 就是那矜夸高傲之辈， 为要成就我怒中所定的。
4 A voice of many nations on the mountains, [even] like [to that] of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a warlike nation,
山间有多人的声音， 好像是大国人民。 有许多国的民聚集哄嚷的声音； 这是万军之耶和华点齐军队，预备打仗。
5 to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors [are coming] to destroy all the world.
他们从远方来， 从天边来， 就是耶和华并他恼恨的兵器 要毁灭这全地。
6 Howl you, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.
你们要哀号， 因为耶和华的日子临近了！ 这日来到， 好像毁灭从全能者来到。
7 Therefore every hand shall become powerless, and every soul of man shall be dismayed.
所以，人手都必软弱； 人心都必消化。
8 The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in travail: and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a flame.
他们必惊惶悲痛； 愁苦必将他们抓住。 他们疼痛，好像产难的妇人一样， 彼此惊奇相看，脸如火焰。
9 For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which can’t be escaped, [a day] of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate, and to destroy sinners out of it.
耶和华的日子临到， 必有残忍、忿恨、烈怒， 使这地荒凉， 从其中除灭罪人。
10 For the stars of heaven, and Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.
天上的众星群宿都不发光； 日头一出就变黑暗； 月亮也不放光。
11 And I will command evils for the whole world, and [will visit] their sins on the ungodly: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will bring low the pride of the haughty.
我必因邪恶刑罚世界， 因罪孽刑罚恶人， 使骄傲人的狂妄止息， 制伏强暴人的狂傲。
12 And they that are left shall be more precious than gold tried in the fire; and a man shall be more precious than the stone that is in Suphir.
我必使人比精金还少， 使人比俄斐纯金更少。
13 For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundation, because of the fierce anger of the Lord of hosts, in the day in which his wrath shall come on.
我—万军之耶和华在忿恨中发烈怒的日子， 必使天震动， 使地摇撼，离其本位。
14 And they that are left shall be as a fleeing fawn, and as a stray sheep, and there shall be none to gather [them]: so that a man shall turn back to his people, and a man shall flee to his own land.
人必像被追赶的鹿， 像无人收聚的羊， 各归回本族， 各逃到本土。
15 For whoever shall be taken shall be overcome; and they that are gathered together shall fall by the sword.
凡被仇敌追上的必被刺死； 凡被捉住的必被刀杀。
16 And they shall dash their children before their eyes; and they shall spoil their houses, and shall take their wives.
他们的婴孩必在他们眼前摔碎； 他们的房屋必被抢夺； 他们的妻子必被玷污。
17 Behold, I will stir up against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.
我必激动米底亚人来攻击他们。 米底亚人不注重银子， 也不喜爱金子。
18 They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare your children.
他们必用弓击碎少年人， 不怜悯妇人所生的， 眼也不顾惜孩子。
19 And Babylon, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as [when] God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha.
巴比伦素来为列国的荣耀， 为迦勒底人所矜夸的华美， 必像 神所倾覆的所多玛、蛾摩拉一样。
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it.
其内必永无人烟， 世世代代无人居住。 阿拉伯人也不在那里支搭帐棚； 牧羊的人也不使羊群卧在那里。
21 But wild beasts shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there, and satyrs shall dwell there; and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. It will come soon, and will not wait.
只有旷野的走兽卧在那里； 咆哮的兽满了房屋。 鸵鸟住在那里； 野山羊在那里跳舞。
豺狼必在它宫中呼号； 野狗必在它华美殿内吼叫。 巴比伦受罚的时候临近； 它的日子必不长久。
