Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. Like windstorms in the south for passing through, It has come from the wilderness, From a fearful land.
论海旁旷野的默示： 有仇敌从旷野，从可怕之地而来， 好像南方的旋风，猛然扫过。
2 A hard vision has been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, I have caused all its sighing to cease.
令人凄惨的异象已默示于我。 诡诈的行诡诈，毁灭的行毁灭。 以拦哪，你要上去！ 米底亚啊，你要围困！ 主说：我使一切叹息止住。
3 Therefore my loins have been filled [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
所以，我满腰疼痛； 痛苦将我抓住， 好像产难的妇人一样。 我疼痛甚至不能听； 我惊惶甚至不能看。
4 My heart has wandered, trembling has terrified me, He has made the twilight of my desire a fear to me,
我心慌张，惊恐威吓我。 我所羡慕的黄昏，变为我的战兢。
5 Arrange the table, watch in the watchtower, Eat, drink, rise, you heads, anoint the shield,
他们摆设筵席， 派人守望，又吃又喝。 首领啊，你们起来， 用油抹盾牌。
6 For thus said the Lord to me: “Go, station the watchman, Let him declare that which he sees.”
主对我如此说： 你去设立守望的， 使他将所看见的述说。
7 And he has seen a chariot—a couple of horsemen, The rider of a donkey, the rider of a camel, And he has given attention—He has increased attention!
他看见军队， 就是骑马的一对一对地来， 又看见驴队，骆驼队， 就要侧耳细听。
8 And he cries, “A lion, my lord! I am continually standing on a watchtower by day, And I am stationed on my ward whole nights.
他像狮子吼叫，说： 主啊，我白日常站在望楼上， 整夜立在我守望所。
9 And behold, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.” And he answers and says: “Fallen, fallen has Babylon, And He has broken all the carved images of her gods to the earth.
看哪，有一队军兵骑着马， 一对一对地来。 他就说：巴比伦倾倒了！倾倒了！ 他一切雕刻的神像都打碎于地。
10 O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!”
我被打的禾稼，我场上的谷啊， 我从万军之耶和华— 以色列的 神那里所听见的，都告诉你们了。
11 The burden of Dumah. [One] is calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
论度玛的默示： 有人声从西珥呼问我说： 守望的啊，夜里如何？ 守望的啊，夜里如何？
12 The watchman has said, “Morning has come, and also night, If you inquire, inquire, return, come.”
守望的说： 早晨将到，黑夜也来。 你们若要问就可以问， 可以回头再来。
13 The burden on Arabia. You lodge in a forest in Arabia, O caravans of Dedanim.
论阿拉伯的默示： 底但结伴的客旅啊， 你们必在阿拉伯的树林中住宿。
14 Inhabitants of the land of Tema Have brought water to meet the thirsty, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
提玛地的居民拿水来，送给口渴的， 拿饼来迎接逃避的。
15 For they fled from the face of destructions, From the face of an outstretched sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
因为他们逃避刀剑和出了鞘的刀， 并上了弦的弓与刀兵的重灾。
16 For thus said the Lord to me: “Within a year, as years of a hired worker, All the glory of Kedar has been consumed.
主对我这样说：“一年之内，照雇工的年数，基达的一切荣耀必归于无有。
17 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar, are few, For YHWH, God of Israel, has spoken!”
弓箭手所余剩的，就是基达人的勇士，必然稀少，因为这是耶和华—以色列的 神说的。”
