Isaiah 27
1 In that day, will Yahweh With his sword—the hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent, —And will slay the monster which 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 Wine-Vineyard! sing ye unto her:
到那一天，你們要唱「那可愛的葡萄園」歌：「
3 I—Yahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her, —Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
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, have I none, —Oh that there were delivered to me briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them I would set fire to them one and all.
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 Else, let one lay hold of my protection, Let him make peace with me, —Peace, let him make with me.
除非不求我保護，不與我講和，不與我和好．．．」
6 In coming times, shall Jacob strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud, —Then shall they 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 Was it, with the smiting of his smiter, that he smote him? Or as with the slaying of his slayer, was he slain?
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 By driving her away—by dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind in, a day of 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 hereby, shall a propitiatory—covering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin, —When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk-stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
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 fortified city, is solitary, The dwelling forsaken and left as a wilderness, —There, shall the calf feed, And, there, lie down And shall 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 cut-off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him 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 Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River ["Euphrates"], unto the torrent-valley of Egypt, —And, ye, shall be picked up, one by one O sons 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 there shall be a blowing with a great horn, Then shall come in Such as have wandered in the land of Assyria, And such as have been outcasts in the land of Egypt, —And they shall bow themselves down unto Yahweh In the holy mountain, In 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。
