Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus: "Look, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
论大马士革的默示： 看哪，大马士革已被废弃，不再为城， 必变作乱堆。
2 Her cities will be abandoned forever. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
亚罗珥的城邑已被撇弃， 必成为牧羊之处； 羊在那里躺卧，无人惊吓。
3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel," says the LORD of hosts.
以法莲不再有保障； 大马士革不再有国权； 亚兰所剩下的 必像以色列人的荣耀消灭一样。 这是万军之耶和华说的。
4 "It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
到那日，雅各的荣耀必至枵薄； 他肥胖的身体必渐瘦弱。
5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the Valley of Rephaim.
就必像收割的人收敛禾稼， 用手割取穗子， 又像人在利乏音谷拾取遗落的穗子。
6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree," says the LORD, the God of Israel.
其间所剩下的不多，好像人打橄榄树— 在尽上的枝梢上只剩两三个果子； 在多果树的旁枝上只剩四五个果子。 这是耶和华—以色列的 神说的。
7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
当那日，人必仰望造他们的主，眼目重看以色列的圣者。
8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the incense altars.
他们必不仰望祭坛，就是自己手所筑的，也不重看自己指头所做的，无论是木偶是日像。
9 In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places of the Hivites and the Amorites, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
在那日，他们的坚固城必像树林中和山顶上所撇弃的地方，就是从前在以色列人面前被人撇弃的。这样，地就荒凉了。
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
因你忘记救你的 神， 不记念你能力的磐石； 所以，你栽上佳美的树秧子， 插上异样的栽子。
11 In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
栽种的日子，你周围圈上篱笆， 又到早晨使你所种的开花； 但在愁苦极其伤痛的日子， 所收割的都飞去了。
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters.
唉！多民哄嚷，好像海浪匉訇； 列邦奔腾，好像猛水滔滔；
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters: but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
列邦奔腾，好像多水滔滔； 但 神斥责他们，他们就远远逃避， 又被追赶，如同山上的风前糠， 又如暴风前的旋风土。
14 At evening, look, terror. Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
到晚上有惊吓，未到早晨他们就没有了。这是掳掠我们之人所得的分，是抢夺我们之人的报应。
