< Isaiah 25 >

1 O YHWH, You [are] my God, I exalt You, I confess Your Name, For You have done a wonderful thing, Counsels of old, steadfastness, O steadfast One.
耶和華啊,你是我的上帝; 我要尊崇你,我要稱讚你的名。 因為你以忠信誠實行過奇妙的事, 成就你古時所定的。
2 For You made of a city a heap, Of a fortified city a ruin, A high place of strangers from [being] a city, It is not built for all time.
你使城變為亂堆, 使堅固城變為荒場, 使外邦人宮殿的城不再為城, 永遠不再建造。
3 Therefore a strong people honors You, A city of the terrible nations fears You.
所以,剛強的民必榮耀你; 強暴之國的城必敬畏你。
4 For You have been a stronghold for the poor, A stronghold for the needy in his distress, A refuge from storm, a shadow from heat, When the spirit of the terrible [is] as a storm—a wall.
因為當強暴人催逼人的時候, 如同暴風直吹牆壁, 你就作貧窮人的保障, 作困乏人急難中的保障, 作躲暴風之處, 作避炎熱的陰涼。
5 As heat in a dry place, You humble the noise of strangers, [As] heat with the shadow of a thick cloud, The singing of the terrible is humbled.
你要壓制外邦人的喧嘩, 好像乾燥地的熱氣下落; 禁止強暴人的凱歌, 好像熱氣被雲影消化。
6 And YHWH of Hosts has made, For all the peoples in this mountain, A banquet of fat things, A banquet of preserved things, Fat things full of marrow, Preserved things—refined.
在這山上,萬軍之耶和華必為萬民用肥甘設擺筵席,用陳酒和滿髓的肥甘,並澄清的陳酒,設擺筵席。
7 And He has swallowed up in this mountain The face of the wrapping that is wrapped over all the peoples, And of the covering that is spread over all the nations.
他又必在這山上除滅遮蓋萬民之物和遮蔽萬國蒙臉的帕子。
8 He has swallowed up death in victory, And Lord YHWH has wiped [the] tear from off all faces, And He turns aside the reproach of His people from off all the earth, For YHWH has spoken.
他已經吞滅死亡直到永遠。主耶和華必擦去各人臉上的眼淚,又除掉普天下他百姓的羞辱,因為這是耶和華說的。
9 And [one] has said in that day, “Behold, this [is] our God, We waited for Him, and He saves us, This [is] YHWH, we have waited for Him, We are glad and rejoice in His salvation!”
到那日,人必說:「看哪,這是我們的上帝;我們素來等候他,他必拯救我們。這是耶和華,我們素來等候他,我們必因他的救恩歡喜快樂。」
10 For the hand of YHWH rests on this mountain, And Moab is trodden down under Him, As straw is trodden down on a dunghill.
耶和華的手必按在這山上;摩押人在所居之地必被踐踏,好像乾草被踐踏在糞池的水中。
11 And He spread out His hands in its midst, As the swimmer spreads out to swim; And He has humbled his excellence With the machinations of his hands.
他必在其中伸開手,好像洑水的伸開手洑水一樣;但耶和華必使他的驕傲和他手所行的詭計一併敗落。
12 And the fortress of the high place of your walls He has bowed down—He has made low, He has caused [it] to come to the earth—to dust.
耶和華使你城上的堅固高臺傾倒,拆平,直到塵埃。
