Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
到那一天，上主要用他那厲害、巨大、猛烈的劍，來懲罰「里外雅堂」飛龍，和「里外雅堂」蜿蛇；並要擊殺海中的蛟龍。
2 In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.
到那一天，你們要唱「那可愛的葡萄園」歌：「
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
我，上主，親自作它的護守者，時加灌溉；我要日夜護守，免得受人侵害。
4 Fury is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
我再沒有怒氣；萬一有了荊棘和蒺藜，我必前去攻擊，將它完全焚毀；
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me.
除非不求我保護，不與我講和，不與我和好．．．」
6 In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud: and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
來自雅各伯將生根，以色列要發芽開花，她的果實要佈滿地面。
7 Hath he smitten him as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by him?
上主打擊以色列，那裏像他打擊那些打擊以色列的人呢﹖上主擊殺以色列，那裏像他擊殺那些擊殺以色列的人呢﹖
8 In measure, when thou sendest her away, thou dost contend with her; he hath removed [her] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
上主以離棄，以驅逐，懲罰了她；在吹東風的日子，藉巨風將她捲去。
9 Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
惟其如此，雅各伯的罪過方得消除；她的罪孽得以赦免的代價，即在於她將祭壇所有的石塊，打得粉碎有如石灰，不在樹立「阿舍辣」和太陽柱。
10 For the defenced city is solitary, an habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
的確，設防的城市已荒涼，成了被撇下和放棄的住宅，有如荒野。牛犢在那裏牧放，在那裏偃臥，吃盡了那裏的枝葉。
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
幾時樹枝枯萎，就自會斷落，婦女便來拿去燒火；她既不是個聰敏的民族，因此那創造她的，對她沒有憐憫；那形成她的，對她也不表恩情。
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off [his fruit], from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
到那一天，上主要從大河流域到埃及河畔收割果實，以色列子民啊！你們都要一個一個地被聚集起來。
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
到那一天，要吹起大號筒，凡是在亞述失迷的，在埃及地分散的，都要前來，在耶路撒冷聖山，朝拜上主。
