Isaiah 24
1 See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.
看哪，耶和华使地空虚，变为荒凉； 又翻转大地，将居民分散。
2 And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.
那时百姓怎样，祭司也怎样； 仆人怎样，主人也怎样； 婢女怎样，主母也怎样； 买物的怎样，卖物的也怎样； 放债的怎样，借债的也怎样； 取利的怎样，出利的也怎样。
3 The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.
地必全然空虚，尽都荒凉； 因为这话是耶和华说的。
4 The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.
地上悲哀衰残， 世界败落衰残； 地上居高位的人也败落了。
5 The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.
地被其上的居民污秽； 因为他们犯了律法， 废了律例，背了永约。
6 For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.
所以，地被咒诅吞灭； 住在其上的显为有罪。 地上的居民被火焚烧， 剩下的人稀少。
7 The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.
新酒悲哀，葡萄树衰残； 心中欢乐的俱都叹息。
8 The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.
击鼓之乐止息； 宴乐人的声音完毕， 弹琴之乐也止息了。
9 There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.
人必不得饮酒唱歌； 喝浓酒的，必以为苦。
10 The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.
荒凉的城拆毁了； 各家关门闭户，使人都不得进去。
11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.
在街上因酒有悲叹的声音； 一切喜乐变为昏暗； 地上的欢乐归于无有。
12 In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.
城中只有荒凉； 城门拆毁净尽。
13 For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.
在地上的万民中， 必像打过的橄榄树， 又像已摘的葡萄所剩无几。
14 But those will be making sounds of joy; they will be crying loudly from the sea for the glory of the Lord.
这些人要高声欢呼； 他们为耶和华的威严，从海那里扬起声来。
15 Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.
因此，你们要在东方荣耀耶和华， 在众海岛荣耀耶和华—以色列 神的名。
16 From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.
我们听见从地极有人歌唱，说： 荣耀归于义人。 我却说：我消灭了！ 我消灭了，我有祸了！ 诡诈的行诡诈； 诡诈的大行诡诈。
17 Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.
地上的居民哪， 恐惧、陷坑、网罗都临近你。
18 And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
躲避恐惧声音的必坠入陷坑； 从陷坑上来的必被网罗缠住； 因为天上的窗户都开了， 地的根基也震动了。
19 The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
地全然破坏，尽都崩裂， 大大地震动了。
20 The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.
地要东倒西歪，好像醉酒的人； 又摇来摇去，好像吊床。 罪过在其上沉重， 必然塌陷，不能复起。
21 And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
到那日，耶和华在高处必惩罚高处的众军， 在地上必惩罚地上的列王。
22 And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
他们必被聚集，像囚犯被聚在牢狱中， 并要囚在监牢里， 多日之后便被讨罪。
23 Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.
那时，月亮要蒙羞，日头要惭愧； 因为万军之耶和华必在锡安山， 在耶路撒冷作王； 在敬畏他的长老面前，必有荣耀。
