Isaiah 14
1 For YHWH loves Jacob, And has fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And the sojourner has been joined to them, And they have been admitted to the house of Jacob.
耶和華要憐恤雅各，必再揀選以色列，將他們安置在本地。寄居的必與他們聯合，緊貼雅各家。
2 And peoples have taken them, And have brought them to their place, And the house of Israel has inherited them, On the land of YHWH, For menservants and for maidservants, And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled over their exactors.
外邦人必將他們帶回本土；以色列家必在耶和華的地上得外邦人為僕婢，也要擄掠先前擄掠他們的，轄制先前欺壓他們的。
3 And it has come to pass, In the day of YHWH’s giving rest to you, From your grief, and from your trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That has been served on you,
當耶和華使你脫離愁苦、煩惱，並人勉強你做的苦工，得享安息的日子，
4 That you have taken up this allegory Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, “How the exactor has ceased,
你必題這詩歌論巴比倫王說： 欺壓人的何竟熄滅？ 強暴的何竟止息？
5 The golden one has ceased. YHWH has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of rulers.
耶和華折斷了惡人的杖， 轄制人的圭，
6 He who is striking peoples in wrath, A striking without intermission, He who is ruling nations in anger, Pursuing without restraint!
就是在忿怒中連連攻擊眾民的， 在怒氣中轄制列國， 行逼迫無人阻止的。
7 At rest—all the earth has been quiet, They have broken forth [into] singing.
現在全地得安息，享平靜； 人皆發聲歡呼。
8 Even firs have rejoiced over you, Cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since you have lain down, The hewer does not come up against us.
松樹和黎巴嫩的香柏樹 都因你歡樂，說： 自從你仆倒， 再無人上來砍伐我們。
9 Sheol beneath has been troubled at you, To meet your coming in, It is waking up Rephaim for you, All chief ones of earth, It has raised up from their thrones All kings of nations. (Sheol h7585)
你下到陰間， 陰間就因你震動來迎接你， 又因你驚動在世曾為首領的陰魂， 並使那曾為列國君王的， 都離位站起。 (Sheol h7585)
10 All of them answer and say to you, Even you have become weak like us! You have become like to us!
他們都要發言對你說： 你也變為軟弱像我們一樣嗎？ 你也成了我們的樣子嗎？
11 Your excellence has been brought down to Sheol, The noise of your stringed instruments, The worm has been spread out under you, Indeed, the worm is covering you. (Sheol h7585)
你的威勢和你琴瑟的聲音都下到陰間。 你下鋪的是蟲，上蓋的是蛆。 (Sheol h7585)
12 How you have fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.
明亮之星，早晨之子啊， 你何竟從天墜落？ 你這攻敗列國的何竟被砍倒在地上？
13 And you said in your heart: I go up into the heavens, I raise my throne above the stars of God, And I sit on the mountain of meeting in the sides of the north.
你心裏曾說： 我要升到天上； 我要高舉我的寶座在上帝眾星以上； 我要坐在聚會的山上，在北方的極處。
14 I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.
我要升到高雲之上； 我要與至上者同等。
然而，你必墜落陰間， 到坑中極深之處。 (Sheol h7585)
16 Your beholders look to you, they attend to you, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?
凡看見你的都要定睛看你， 留意看你，說： 使大地戰抖， 使列國震動，
17 He has made the world as a wilderness, And he has broken down his cities, He did not open the house of his bound ones.
使世界如同荒野， 使城邑傾覆， 不釋放被擄的人歸家， 是這個人嗎？
18 All kings of nations—all of them, Have lain down in glory, each in his house,
列國的君王 俱各在自己陰宅的榮耀中安睡。
19 And you have been cast out of your grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down to the sons of the pit, As a carcass trodden down.
惟獨你被拋棄， 不得入你的墳墓， 好像可憎的枝子， 以被殺的人為衣， 就是被刀刺透， 墜落坑中石頭那裏的； 你又像被踐踏的屍首一樣。
20 You are not united with them in burial, For you have destroyed your land, You have slain your people, The seed of evildoers is not named for all time.
你不得與君王同葬； 因為你敗壞你的國，殺戮你的民。 惡人後裔的名，必永不提說。
21 Prepare slaughter for his sons; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They do not rise, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled the face of the world [with] cities.
先人既有罪孽， 就要預備殺戮他的子孫， 免得他們興起來，得了遍地， 在世上修滿城邑。
22 And I have risen up against them,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor,” A declaration of YHWH.
萬軍之耶和華說： 我必興起攻擊他們， 將巴比倫的名號和所餘剩的人， 連子帶孫一併剪除。 這是耶和華說的。
23 “And have made it for a possession of a hedgehog, And ponds of waters, And swept it with the broom of destruction,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
我必使巴比倫為箭豬所得， 又變為水池； 我要用滅亡的掃帚掃淨它。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
24 YHWH of Hosts has sworn, saying, “As I thought—so has it not been? And as I counseled—it stands;
萬軍之耶和華起誓說： 我怎樣思想，必照樣成就； 我怎樣定意，必照樣成立，
25 To break Asshur in My land, And I tread him down on My mountain, And his yoke has turned from off them, Indeed, his burden turns aside from off their shoulder.
就是在我地上打折亞述人， 在我山上將他踐踏。 他加的軛必離開以色列人； 他加的重擔必離開他們的肩頭。
26 This [is] the counsel that is counseled for all the earth, And this [is] the hand that is stretched out for all the nations.
這是向全地所定的旨意； 這是向萬國所伸出的手。
27 For YHWH of Hosts has purposed, And who makes void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who turns it back?”
萬軍之耶和華既然定意，誰能廢棄呢？ 他的手已經伸出，誰能轉回呢？
28 In the year of the death of King Ahaz was this burden:
亞哈斯王崩的那年，就有以下的默示：
29 “Do not rejoice, Philistia, all of you, That the rod of your striker has been broken, For from the root of a serpent comes out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying, burning serpent.
非利士全地啊， 不要因擊打你的杖折斷就喜樂。 因為從蛇的根必生出毒蛇； 牠所生的是火焰的飛龍。
30 And the firstborn of the poor have delighted, And the needy lie down in confidence, And I have put to death your root with famine, And it slays your remnant.
貧寒人的長子必有所食； 窮乏人必安然躺臥。 我必以饑荒治死你的根； 你所餘剩的人必被殺戮。
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city, You are melted, Philistia, all of you, For smoke has come from the north, And there is none alone in his set places.”
門哪，應當哀號！ 城啊，應當呼喊！ 非利士全地啊，你都消化了！ 因為有煙從北方出來， 他行伍中並無亂隊的。
32 And what does one answer the messengers of a nation? That YHWH has founded Zion, And the poor of His people take refuge in it!
可怎樣回答外邦的使者呢？ 必說：耶和華建立了錫安； 他百姓中的困苦人必投奔在其中。
