Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen:
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示，论巴比伦。
2 “Lift up an ensign on a high mountain, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go into the openings of nobles.
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 have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for My anger, Those rejoicing at My excellence.”
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 a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, YHWH of Hosts inspecting a host of battle!
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 They are coming in from a far-off land, From the end of the heavens, YHWH and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land.
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, for the Day of YHWH [is] near, It comes as destruction from the Mighty.
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, all hands fail, And every heart of man melts.
所以，人手都必软弱； 人心都必消化。
8 And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs take them, They are pained as a travailing woman, A man marvels at his friend, The appearance of flames—their faces!
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 Behold, the Day of YHWH comes, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Indeed, He destroys its sinning ones from 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 the heavens, and their constellations, Do not cause their light to shine, The sun has been darkened in its going out, And the moon does not cause its light to come forth.
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 have appointed evil on the world, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused the excellence of the proud to cease, And I make the excellence of the terrible low.
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 I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.
我必使人比精金还少， 使人比俄斐纯金更少。
13 Therefore I cause the heavens to tremble, And the earth shakes from its place, In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of His anger.
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 it has been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that has no gatherer, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
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 Everyone who is found is thrust through, And everyone who is added falls by sword.
凡被仇敌追上的必被刺死； 凡被捉住的必被刀杀。
16 And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Their houses are spoiled, and their wives lain with.
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 am stirring up the Medes against them, Who do not esteem silver, And gold—they do not delight in it.
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 And bows dash young men to pieces, And they do not pity the fruit of the womb, Their eye has no pity on sons.
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, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellence of the Chaldeans, Has been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
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 She does not sit forever, Nor continue to many generations, Nor does Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds do not lie down there.
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 And desert-dwellers have lain down there, And their houses have been full of howlers, And daughters of an ostrich have dwelt there, And goats skip there.
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。
22 And howlers—he has responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And her time [is] near to come, And her days are not drawn out!”
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。
