Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Beholde, Damascus is taken away from being a citie, for it shall be a ruinous heape.
論大馬士革的默示： 看哪，大馬士革已被廢棄，不再為城， 必變作亂堆。
2 The cities of Aroer shall be forsaken: they shall be for the flockes: for they shall lye there, and none shall make them afraide.
亞羅珥的城邑已被撇棄， 必成為牧羊之處； 羊在那裏躺臥，無人驚嚇。
3 The munition also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdome from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
以法蓮不再有保障； 大馬士革不再有國權； 亞蘭所剩下的 必像以色列人的榮耀消滅一樣。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
4 And in that day the glorie of Iaakob shall be impouerished, and the fatnes of his flesh shalbe made leane.
到那日，雅各的榮耀必至枵薄； 他肥胖的身體必漸瘦弱。
5 And it shalbe as when the haruest man gathereth the corne, and reapeth the eares with his arme, and he shall be as he that gathereth the eares in the valley of Rephaim.
就必像收割的人收斂禾稼， 用手割取穗子， 又像人在利乏音谷拾取遺落的穗子。
6 Yet a gathering of grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an oliue tree, two or three beries are in the top of the vpmost boughes, and foure or fiue in the hie branches of the fruite thereof, sayeth the Lord God of Israel.
其間所剩下的不多，好像人打橄欖樹－ 在儘上的枝梢上只剩兩三個果子； 在多果樹的旁枝上只剩四五個果子。 這是耶和華－以色列的上帝說的。
7 At that day shall a man looke to his maker, and his eyes shall looke to the holy one of Israel.
當那日，人必仰望造他們的主，眼目重看以色列的聖者。
8 And hee shall not looke to the altars, the workes of his owne hands, neither shall he looke to those thinges, which his owne fingers haue made, as groues and images.
他們必不仰望祭壇，就是自己手所築的，也不重看自己指頭所做的，無論是木偶是日像。
9 In that day shall the cities of their strength be as the forsaking of boughes and branches, which they did forsake, because of the children of Israel, and there shall be desolation.
在那日，他們的堅固城必像樹林中和山頂上所撇棄的地方，就是從前在以色列人面前被人撇棄的。這樣，地就荒涼了。
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy saluation, and hast not remembred the God of thy strength, therefore shalt thou set pleasant plantes, and shalt graffe strange vine branches:
因你忘記救你的上帝， 不記念你能力的磐石； 所以，你栽上佳美的樹秧子， 插上異樣的栽子。
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to growe, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seede to florish: but the haruest shall be gone in the day of possession, and there shalbe desperate sorrowe.
栽種的日子，你周圍圈上籬笆， 又到早晨使你所種的開花； 但在愁苦極其傷痛的日子， 所收割的都飛去了。
12 Ah, the multitude of many people, they shall make a sounde like the noyse of the sea: for the noyse of the people shall make a sounde like the noyse of mightie waters.
唉！多民鬨嚷，好像海浪匉訇； 列邦奔騰，好像猛水滔滔；
13 The people shall make a sounde like the noise of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee farre off, and shalbe chased as the chaffe of the mountaines before the winde, and as a rolling thing before the whirlewinde.
列邦奔騰，好像多水滔滔； 但上帝斥責他們，他們就遠遠逃避， 又被追趕，如同山上的風前糠， 又如暴風前的旋風土。
14 And loe, in the euening there is trouble: but afore the morning it is gone. This is the portion of them that spoyle vs, and the lot of them that robbe vs.
到晚上有驚嚇，未到早晨他們就沒有了。這是擄掠我們之人所得的分，是搶奪我們之人的報應。
