Isaiah 27
1 On that day will the Lord punish with his heavy and great and strong sword leviathan the flying serpent, and leviathan the crooked servant; and he will slay the crocodile that is in the sea.
到那一天，上主要用他那厲害、巨大、猛烈的劍，來懲罰「里外雅堂」飛龍，和「里外雅堂」蜿蛇；並要擊殺海中的蛟龍。
2 On that day sing ye a song of the vineyard of excellent wine.
到那一天，你們要唱「那可愛的葡萄園」歌：「
3 “I the Lord do keep it; every moment will I water it: that no one shall hurt it, night and day will I keep it.
我，上主，親自作它的護守者，時加灌溉；我要日夜護守，免得受人侵害。
4 Wrath have I not: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would pass through them, and I would burn them altogether.
我再沒有怒氣；萬一有了荊棘和蒺藜，我必前去攻擊，將它完全焚毀；
5 If he but take hold of my strength, make peace with me; make peace with me.”
除非不求我保護，不與我講和，不與我和好．．．」
6 In the future shall Jacob yet take root; Israel shall bud and blossom, and shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
來自雅各伯將生根，以色列要發芽開花，她的果實要佈滿地面。
7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote the one that smote him? or was he slain with the same slaughter as those of him that were slain?
上主打擊以色列，那裏像他打擊那些打擊以色列的人呢﹖上主擊殺以色列，那裏像他擊殺那些擊殺以色列的人呢﹖
8 In measure, by driving him forth, thou strivest with him: he removed him with his violent storm on the day of the east wind.
上主以離棄，以驅逐，懲罰了她；在吹東風的日子，藉巨風將她捲去。
9 Therefore by this [only] shall the iniquity of Jacob be atoned; and this shall be all the fruit of the taking away of his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as limestones that are beaten in pieces, when there shall not arise again any groves and sun-images.
惟其如此，雅各伯的罪過方得消除；她的罪孽得以赦免的代價，即在於她將祭壇所有的石塊，打得粉碎有如石灰，不在樹立「阿舍辣」和太陽柱。
10 For [by this] the fortified city shall be desolate, the habitation be forsaken, and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall it lie down, and consume its branches.
的確，設防的城市已荒涼，成了被撇下和放棄的住宅，有如荒野。牛犢在那裏牧放，在那裏偃臥，吃盡了那裏的枝葉。
11 When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off; women will come and set them on fire; for it is not a people of understanding; therefore he that made it will not have mercy on it, and he that formed it will show it no favor.
幾時樹枝枯萎，就自會斷落，婦女便來拿去燒火；她既不是個聰敏的民族，因此那創造她的，對她沒有憐憫；那形成她的，對她也不表恩情。
12 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will beat off [the fruit] from the channel of the River up to the brook of Egypt; but ye shall be gathered up one by one, ye children of Israel.
到那一天，上主要從大河流域到埃及河畔收割果實，以色列子民啊！你們都要一個一個地被聚集起來。
13 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the great cornet shall be blown, and then shall come those who are lost in the land of Asshur, and those who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, and they shall prostrate themselves before the Lord on the holy mount at Jerusalem.
到那一天，要吹起大號筒，凡是在亞述失迷的，在埃及地分散的，都要前來，在耶路撒冷聖山，朝拜上主。
