Isaiah 27
1 In that day YHWH lays a charge, With His sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He has slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
到那日，耶和華必用他剛硬有力的大刀刑罰鱷魚－就是那快行的蛇，刑罰鱷魚－就是那曲行的蛇，並殺海中的大魚。
2 In that day respond to her, “A desirable vineyard,
當那日，有出酒的葡萄園， 你們要指這園唱歌說：
3 I, YHWH, am its keeper, I water it every moment, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
我－耶和華是看守葡萄園的； 我必時刻澆灌， 晝夜看守， 免得有人損害。
4 Fury is not in Me; Who gives Me a brier—a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
我心中不存忿怒。 惟願荊棘蒺藜與我交戰， 我就勇往直前， 把它一同焚燒。
5 Or—he takes hold on My strength, [That] he makes peace with Me, [And] he makes peace with Me.”
不然，讓它持住我的能力， 使它與我和好， 願它與我和好。
6 He causes those coming in to take root, Jacob blossoms, and Israel has flourished, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
將來雅各要扎根， 以色列要發芽開花； 他們的果實必充滿世界。
7 Has He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
主擊打他們， 豈像擊打那些擊打他們的人嗎？ 他們被殺戮， 豈像被他們所殺戮的嗎？
8 In measure, in sending it forth, you strive with it, He has taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
你打發他們去， 是相機宜與他們相爭； 颳東風的日子， 就用暴風將他們逐去。
9 Therefore the iniquity of Jacob is covered by this, And this [is] all the fruit—To take away his sin, In his setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They do not rise—Asherim and images.
所以，雅各的罪孽得赦免， 他的罪過得除掉的果效，全在乎此： 就是他叫祭壇的石頭變為打碎的灰石， 以致木偶和日像不再立起。
10 For the fortified city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There the calf delights, And there it lies down, And has consumed its branches.
因為堅固城變為淒涼， 成了撇下離棄的居所，像曠野一樣； 牛犢必在那裏吃草， 在那裏躺臥，並吃盡其中的樹枝。
11 In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in [and] setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore its Maker does not pity it, And its Former does not favor it.
枝條枯乾，必被折斷； 婦女要來點火燒着。 因為這百姓蒙昧無知， 所以，創造他們的必不憐恤他們； 造成他們的也不施恩與他們。
12 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH beats out from the branch of the river, To the stream of Egypt, And you are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
以色列人哪，到那日，耶和華必從大河，直到埃及小河，將你們一一地收集，如同人打樹拾果一樣。
13 And it has come to pass in that day, It is blown with a great horn, And those perishing in the land of Asshur have come in, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to YHWH, In the holy mountain—in Jerusalem!
當那日，必大發角聲，在亞述地將要滅亡的，並在埃及地被趕散的，都要來，他們就在耶路撒冷聖山上敬拜耶和華。
