Isaiah 25

1 O Lord, thou art my God: I will exalt thee, I will prayse thy Name: for thou hast done wonderfull things, according to the counsels of old, with a stable trueth.

上主！你是我的天主，我要稱揚你，我要讚頌你的名，因為你忠實真誠地成就了你舊日的奇妙計劃。

2 For thou hast made of a citie an heape, of a strong citie, a ruine: euen the palace of strangers of a citie, it shall neuer be built.

因為你使那城成了一堆瓦礫，使設防的城市化為一片荒涼，使傲慢人的城堡不像城市，永遠不得重建。

3 Therefore shall the mightie people giue glory vnto thee: the citie of the strong nations shall feare thee.

為此，強大的民族要頌揚你，威武邦國的城市要敬畏你。

4 For thou hast bene a strength vnto the poore, euen a strength to the needie in his trouble, a refuge against the tempest, a shadow against the heate: for the blaste of the mightie is like a storme against the wall.

因為你是窮苦人的屏障，是患難中貧乏人的屏障，避風暴的藏身處，避炎熱的蔭涼所；因為殘暴人的狂怒有如冬日的暴風，

5 Thou shalt bring downe the noyse of the strangers, as the heate in a drie place: he wil bring downe the song of the mightie, as the heate in the shadowe of a cloude.

有如旱地上的炎熱。傲慢人的狂暴你已抑止，有如濃蔭減輕了熱氣；連殘暴人的歌聲也從此低降。

6 And in this mountaine shall the Lord of hostes make vnto all people a feast of fat thinges, euen a feast of fined wines, and of fat thinges full of marow, of wines fined and purified.

萬軍的上主在這座山上，要為萬民擺設肥甘的盛宴，美酒的盛宴；肥甘是精選的，美酒是醇清的。

7 And he will destroy in this mountaine the couering that couereth all people, and the vaile that is spread vpon all nations.

在這座山上，你要撤除那封在萬民上的封面，那蓋在各國上的帷幔。

8 He wil destroy death for euer: and the Lord God wil wipe away the teares from all faces, and the rebuke of his people will he take away out of all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

他要永遠取消死亡，吾主上主要從人人的臉上拭去淚痕，要由整個地面除去自己民族的恥辱：因為上主說了。

9 And in that day shall men say, Loe, this is our God: we haue waited for him, and he wil saue vs. This is the Lord, we haue waited for him: we will reioyce and be ioyfull in his saluation.

到那一天，人要說：「看！這是我們所依賴拯救我們的天主；這是我們所依賴的上主，我們要因他的救援鼓舞喜樂，

10 For in this mountaine shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shalbe threshed vnder him, euen as strawe is thresshed in Madmenah.

因為上主的手停留在這山上。」敵人要在自己的地方受踐踏，有如禾湝被踐踏在糞坑之中。

11 And he shall stretche out his hande in the middes of them (as he that swimmeth, stretcheth them out to swimme) and with the strength of his handes shall he bring downe their pride.

他要在其中伸開雙手，如同游泳的伸手游泳；但他的傲慢和他的手段已受了挫折。

12 The defence also of the height of thy walles shall he bring downe and lay lowe, and cast them to the ground, euen vnto the dust.

他城牆上高聳的保壘必被打倒、推翻，倒在地上化為塵埃。
