Esias 16
1 I will send as it were reptiles on the land: is [not] the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock?
你們當將羊羔奉給那地掌權的， 從西拉往曠野，送到錫安城的山。
2 For you shall be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown: [even] you shall be [so], daughter of Moab: and then do you, O Arnon,
摩押的居民在亞嫩渡口， 必像遊飛的鳥，如拆窩的雛。
3 take farther counsel, and continually make you a shelter from grief: they flee in darkness at mid-day; they are amazed; be not you led captive.
求你獻謀略，行公平， 使你的影子在午間如黑夜， 隱藏被趕散的人，不可顯露逃民。
4 The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with you; they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer: for your alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth.
求你容我這被趕散的人和你同居。 至於摩押，求你作他的隱密處， 脫離滅命者的面。 勒索人的歸於無有， 毀滅的事止息了， 欺壓人的從國中除滅了，
5 And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgments, and hasting righteousness.
必有寶座因慈愛堅立； 必有一位誠誠實實坐在其上， 在大衛帳幕中施行審判， 尋求公平，速行公義。
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. I have cut off his pride: your prophecy shall not be thus, [no] not thus.
我們聽說摩押人驕傲， 是極其驕傲； 聽說他狂妄、驕傲、忿怒； 他誇大的話是虛空的。
7 Moab shall howl; for all shall howl in the land of Moab: but you shall care for them that dwell in Seth, and you shall not be ashamed.
因此，摩押人必為摩押哀號； 人人都要哀號。 你們摩押人要為吉珥‧哈列設的葡萄餅哀歎， 極其憂傷。
8 The plains of Esebon shall mourn, the vine of Sebama: swallowing up the nations, trample you her vines, even to Jazer: you shall not come together; wander you in the desert: they that were sent are deserted, for they have gone over to the sea.
因為希實本的田地 和西比瑪的葡萄樹都衰殘了。 列國的君主折斷其上美好的枝子； 這枝子長到雅謝延到曠野， 嫩枝向外探出，直探過鹽海。
9 Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sebama; Esebon and Eleale have cast down your trees; for I will trample on your harvest and on your vintages, and all [your plants] shall fall.
因此，我要為西比瑪的葡萄樹哀哭， 與雅謝人哀哭一樣。 希實本、以利亞利啊， 我要以眼淚澆灌你； 因為有交戰吶喊的聲音 臨到你夏天的果子， 並你收割的莊稼。
10 And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards; and they shall not at all tread wine into the vats; for [the vintage] has ceased.
從肥美的田中奪去了歡喜快樂； 在葡萄園裏必無歌唱，也無歡呼的聲音。 踹酒的在酒醡中不得踹出酒來； 我使他歡呼的聲音止息。
11 Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab, and you have repaired my inward parts as a wall.
因此，我心腹為摩押哀鳴如琴； 我心腸為吉珥‧哈列設也是如此。
12 And it shall be to your shame, (for Moab is wearied at the altars, ) that he shall go in to the idols thereof to pray, but they shall not be at all able to deliver him.
摩押人朝見的時候，在高處疲乏，又到他聖所祈禱，也不蒙應允。
13 This is the word which the Lord spoke against Moab, when he spoke.
這是耶和華從前論摩押的話。
14 And now I say, in three years, of the years of an hireling, the glory of Moab shall be dishonored [with] all his great wealth; and he shall be left few in number, and not honored.
但現在耶和華說：「三年之內，照雇工的年數，摩押的榮耀與他的群眾必被藐視，餘剩的人甚少無幾。」
