Isaiah 16
1 Send rams to the ruler of the land from Selah in the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
你们当将羊羔奉给那地掌权的， 从西拉往旷野，送到锡安城的山。
2 As wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so the women of Moab are at the fords of the Arnon River.
摩押的居民在亚嫩渡口， 必像游飞的鸟，如拆窝的雏。
3 “Give instruction, execute justice; provide some shade like night in the middle of the day; hide the fugitives; do not betray the fugitives.
求你献谋略，行公平， 使你的影子在午间如黑夜， 隐藏被赶散的人，不可显露逃民。
4 Let them live among you, the refugees from Moab; be a hiding place for them from the destroyer.” For the oppression will stop, and destruction will cease, those who trample will disappear from the land.
求你容我这被赶散的人和你同居。 至于摩押，求你作他的隐密处， 脱离灭命者的面。 勒索人的归于无有， 毁灭的事止息了， 欺压人的从国中除灭了，
5 A throne will be established in covenant faithfulness; and one from David's tent will faithfully sit there. He will judge as he seeks justice and does righteousness.
必有宝座因慈爱坚立； 必有一位诚诚实实坐在其上， 在大卫帐幕中施行审判， 寻求公平，速行公义。
6 We have heard of Moab's pride, his arrogance, his boasting, and his anger. But his boastings are empty words.
我们听说摩押人骄傲， 是极其骄傲； 听说他狂妄、骄傲、忿怒； 他夸大的话是虚空的。
7 So Moab wails for Moab—they all wail! Mourn, you who are utterly destroyed, for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.
因此，摩押人必为摩押哀号； 人人都要哀号。 你们摩押人要为吉珥·哈列设的葡萄饼哀叹， 极其忧伤。
8 The fields of Heshbon have dried up as well as the vines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have trampled the choice vines that reached to Jazer and spread into the desert. Its shoots spread abroad; they went over to the sea.
因为希实本的田地 和西比玛的葡萄树都衰残了。 列国的君主折断其上美好的枝子； 这枝子长到雅谢延到旷野， 嫩枝向外探出，直探过盐海。
9 Indeed I will weep along with Jazer for the vineyard of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh. For on your fields of summer fruits and harvest I have ended the shouts of joy.
因此，我要为西比玛的葡萄树哀哭， 与雅谢人哀哭一样。 希实本、以利亚利啊， 我要以眼泪浇灌你； 因为有交战呐喊的声音 临到你夏天的果子， 并你收割的庄稼。
10 Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruit tree groves; and there is no singing, or shouts in the vineyards. No one treads out wine in the presses, for I have put an end to the shouts of the one who treads.
从肥美的田中夺去了欢喜快乐； 在葡萄园里必无歌唱，也无欢呼的声音。 踹酒的在酒榨中不得踹出酒来； 我使他欢呼的声音止息。
11 So my heart sighs like a harp for Moab, and my inward being for Kir Hareseth.
因此，我心腹为摩押哀鸣如琴； 我心肠为吉珥·哈列设也是如此。
12 When Moab wears himself out on the high place and enters his temple to pray, his prayers will accomplish nothing.
摩押人朝见的时候，在高处疲乏，又到他圣所祈祷，也不蒙应允。
13 This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab previously.
这是耶和华从前论摩押的话。
14 Again Yahweh speaks, “Within three years, the glory of Moab will disappear; in spite of his many people, the remnant will be very few and insignificant.”
但现在耶和华说：“三年之内，照雇工的年数，摩押的荣耀与他的群众必被藐视，余剩的人甚少无几。”
