Isaiah 25
1 Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
耶和華啊，你是我的上帝； 我要尊崇你，我要稱讚你的名。 因為你以忠信誠實行過奇妙的事， 成就你古時所定的。
2 For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built.
你使城變為亂堆， 使堅固城變為荒場， 使外邦人宮殿的城不再為城， 永遠不再建造。
3 Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
所以，剛強的民必榮耀你； 強暴之國的城必敬畏你。
4 For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
因為當強暴人催逼人的時候， 如同暴風直吹牆壁， 你就作貧窮人的保障， 作困乏人急難中的保障， 作躲暴風之處， 作避炎熱的陰涼。
5 As the heat in a dry place you will bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
你要壓制外邦人的喧嘩， 好像乾燥地的熱氣下落； 禁止強暴人的凱歌， 好像熱氣被雲影消化。
6 In this mountain, Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
在這山上，萬軍之耶和華必為萬民用肥甘設擺筵席，用陳酒和滿髓的肥甘，並澄清的陳酒，設擺筵席。
7 He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
他又必在這山上除滅遮蓋萬民之物和遮蔽萬國蒙臉的帕子。
8 He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.
他已經吞滅死亡直到永遠。主耶和華必擦去各人臉上的眼淚，又除掉普天下他百姓的羞辱，因為這是耶和華說的。
9 It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”
到那日，人必說：「看哪，這是我們的上帝；我們素來等候他，他必拯救我們。這是耶和華，我們素來等候他，我們必因他的救恩歡喜快樂。」
10 For Yahweh’s hand will rest in this mountain. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.
耶和華的手必按在這山上；摩押人在所居之地必被踐踏，好像乾草被踐踏在糞池的水中。
11 He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
他必在其中伸開手，好像洑水的伸開手洑水一樣；但耶和華必使他的驕傲和他手所行的詭計一併敗落。
12 He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
耶和華使你城上的堅固高臺傾倒，拆平，直到塵埃。
