Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you people! The earth and all that fills it must listen, the world, and all things that come from it.
列国啊，要近前来听！ 众民哪，要侧耳而听！ 地和其上所充满的， 世界和其中一切所出的都应当听！
2 For Yahweh is angry with all the nations, and furious against all their armies; he has completely destroyed them, he has handed them over to the slaughter.
因为耶和华向万国发忿恨， 向他们的全军发烈怒， 将他们灭尽，交出他们受杀戮。
3 The bodies of their dead will be thrown out. The stench of the dead bodies will be everywhere; and the mountains will soak up their blood.
被杀的必然抛弃， 尸首臭气上腾； 诸山被他们的血融化。
4 All the stars of the sky will fade away, and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; and all their stars will fade away, as the leaf fades from off the vine, and as the overripe figs from the fig tree.
天上的万象都要消没； 天被卷起，好像书卷。 其上的万象要残败， 像葡萄树的叶子残败， 又像无花果树的叶子残败一样。
5 For when my sword will have drunk its fill in heaven; look, it will now come down on Edom, on the people I am setting apart for destruction.
因为我的刀在天上已经喝足； 这刀必临到以东和我所咒诅的民， 要施行审判。
6 The sword of Yahweh is dripping with blood and covered with fat, dripping with the blood of lambs and goats, covered with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
耶和华的刀满了血， 用脂油和羊羔、公山羊的血， 并公绵羊腰子的脂油滋润的； 因为耶和华在波斯拉有献祭的事， 在以东地大行杀戮。
7 Wild oxen will fall with them, and young bulls with the older ones. Their land will be drunk with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
野牛、牛犊，和公牛要一同下来。 他们的地喝醉了血； 他们的尘土因脂油肥润。
8 For it will be a day of vengeance for Yahweh and a year when he will pay them back for the cause of Zion.
因耶和华有报仇之日， 为锡安的争辩有报应之年。
9 The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch, her dust into sulfur, and her land will become burning pitch.
以东的河水要变为石油， 尘埃要变为硫磺； 地土成为烧着的石油，
10 It will burn night and day; its smoke will rise forever; from generation to generation it will be a wasteland; no one will pass through it forever and ever.
昼夜总不熄灭， 烟气永远上腾， 必世世代代成为荒废， 永永远远无人经过。
11 But wild birds and animals will live there; the owl and the raven will make their nest in it. He will stretch over it the measuring line of ruin and the plumbline of destruction.
鹈鹕、箭猪却要得为业； 猫头鹰、乌鸦要住在其间。 耶和华必将空虚的准绳， 混沌的线铊，拉在其上。
12 Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom, and all her princes will be nothing.
以东人要召贵胄来治国； 那里却无一个， 首领也都归于无有。
13 Thorns will overgrow her palaces, nettles and thistles her fortresses. It will be a habitation of jackals, a place for ostriches.
以东的宫殿要长荆棘； 保障要长蒺藜和刺草； 要作野狗的住处， 鸵鸟的居所。
14 The wild animals and the hyenas will meet there, and the wild goats will cry to one another. Nocturnal animals will settle there and find for themselves a place of rest.
旷野的走兽要和豺狼相遇； 野山羊要与伴偶对叫。 夜间的怪物必在那里栖身， 自找安歇之处。
15 Owls will make nests, lay and hatch their eggs, hatch and protect their young. Yes, there hawks will gather, each one with its mate.
箭蛇要在那里做窝， 下蛋，抱蛋，生子， 聚子在其影下； 鹞鹰各与伴偶聚集在那里。
16 Search through the scroll of Yahweh; not one of these will be missing. None will lack for a mate; for his mouth has commanded it, and his spirit has gathered them.
你们要查考宣读耶和华的书。 这都无一缺少， 无一没有伴偶； 因为我的口已经吩咐， 他的灵将它们聚集。
17 He has cast lots for their places, and his hand has measured it out for them by a cord. They will possess it forever; from generation to generation they will live there.
他也为它们拈阄， 又亲手用准绳给它们分地； 它们必永得为业， 世世代代住在其间。
