以賽亞書 34
1 列國啊，要近前來聽！ 眾民哪，要側耳而聽！ 地和其上所充滿的， 世界和其中一切所出的都應當聽！
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.
2 因為耶和華向萬國發忿恨， 向他們的全軍發烈怒， 將他們滅盡，交出他們受殺戮。
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.
3 被殺的必然拋棄， 屍首臭氣上騰； 諸山被他們的血融化。
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.
4 天上的萬象都要消沒； 天被捲起，好像書卷。 其上的萬象要殘敗， 像葡萄樹的葉子殘敗， 又像無花果樹的葉子殘敗一樣。
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.
5 因為我的刀在天上已經喝足； 這刀必臨到以東和我所咒詛的民， 要施行審判。
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.
6 耶和華的刀滿了血， 用脂油和羊羔、公山羊的血， 並公綿羊腰子的脂油滋潤的； 因為耶和華在波斯拉有獻祭的事， 在以東地大行殺戮。
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.
7 野牛、牛犢，和公牛要一同下來。 他們的地喝醉了血； 他們的塵土因脂油肥潤。
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.
8 因耶和華有報仇之日， 為錫安的爭辯有報應之年。
For it will be a day of vengeance for Yahweh and a year when he will pay them back for the cause of Zion.
9 以東的河水要變為石油， 塵埃要變為硫磺； 地土成為燒着的石油，
The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch, her dust into sulfur, and her land will become burning pitch.
10 晝夜總不熄滅， 煙氣永遠上騰， 必世世代代成為荒廢， 永永遠遠無人經過。
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.
11 鵜鶘、箭豬卻要得為業； 貓頭鷹、烏鴉要住在其間。 耶和華必將空虛的準繩， 混沌的線鉈，拉在其上。
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.
12 以東人要召貴冑來治國； 那裏卻無一個， 首領也都歸於無有。
Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom, and all her princes will be nothing.
13 以東的宮殿要長荊棘； 保障要長蒺藜和刺草； 要作野狗的住處， 鴕鳥的居所。
Thorns will overgrow her palaces, nettles and thistles her fortresses. It will be a habitation of jackals, a place for ostriches.
14 曠野的走獸要和豺狼相遇； 野山羊要與伴偶對叫。 夜間的怪物必在那裏棲身， 自找安歇之處。
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.
15 箭蛇要在那裏做窩， 下蛋，菢蛋，生子， 聚子在其影下； 鷂鷹各與伴偶聚集在那裏。
Owls will make nests, lay and hatch their eggs, hatch and protect their young. Yes, there hawks will gather, each one with its mate.
16 你們要查考宣讀耶和華的書。 這都無一缺少， 無一沒有伴偶； 因為我的口已經吩咐， 他的靈將牠們聚集。
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.
17 他也為牠們拈鬮， 又親手用準繩給牠們分地； 牠們必永得為業， 世世代代住在其間。
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.
