Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示，论巴比伦。
2 Set up a banner on the bare mountain. Lift up your voice to them. Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the 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 commanded my consecrated ones; I have also called my mighty men to carry out my anger, my proudly exulting ones.
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 The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together. YHWH of hosts is mustering the army for the 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 come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even YHWH, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole 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 Wail; for the day of YHWH is at hand. It will come as destruction from Shaddai.
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 will be feeble, and everyone's heart will melt.
所以，人手都必软弱； 人心都必消化。
8 They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.
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 Look, the day of YHWH comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of 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 sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.
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 I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the haughtiness of the terrible.
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 will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the 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 will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in the wrath of YHWH of hosts, and in the day of his fierce 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 It will happen that like a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.
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 will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
凡被仇敌追上的必被刺死； 凡被捉住的必被刀杀。
16 Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.
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 Look, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will 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 Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children.
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 Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and 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 It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks 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 But wild animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic 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 Wolves will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.
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。
