Isaiah 34
1 Come near ye nations to hear, And, ye races, attend, —Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, The world and all things produced therefrom:
列国啊，要近前来听！ 众民哪，要侧耳而听！ 地和其上所充满的， 世界和其中一切所出的都应当听！
2 That Yahweh hath wrath against all the nations, and indignation against all their host, —He hath devoted them to destruction He hath delivered them to slaughter;
因为耶和华向万国发忿恨， 向他们的全军发烈怒， 将他们灭尽，交出他们受杀戮。
3 And their slain shall be cast out, And their carcases, the stench of them shall ascend, —And, the mountains, shall melt away with their blood.
被杀的必然抛弃， 尸首臭气上腾； 诸山被他们的血融化。
4 Then shall be dissolved all the host of the heavens, And the heavens shall roll up as a scroll, —Yea, all their host, shall fade—Like the fading and falling of a leaf from a vine, and Like what fadeth and falleth from a fig-tree.
天上的万象都要消没； 天被卷起，好像书卷。 其上的万象要残败， 像葡萄树的叶子残败， 又像无花果树的叶子残败一样。
5 For my sword hath been sated in the heavens, —Lo! upon Edom, shall it descend, Even on the people whom I have devoted to justice.
因为我的刀在天上已经喝足； 这刀必临到以东和我所咒诅的民， 要施行审判。
6 A sword, hath Yahweh—Glutted with blood Sated with fat, —With the blood of well-fed lambs and he-goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams, —For, a sacrifice, hath Yahweh in Bozrah, Yea a great slaughter in the land of Edom;
耶和华的刀满了血， 用脂油和羊羔、公山羊的血， 并公绵羊腰子的脂油滋润的； 因为耶和华在波斯拉有献祭的事， 在以东地大行杀戮。
7 Then shall buffaloes come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, —So shall their land be soaked with blood, And, their dust, with fat, shall be enriched.
野牛、牛犊，和公牛要一同下来。 他们的地喝醉了血； 他们的尘土因脂油肥润。
8 For a day of avenging, hath Yahweh, —A year of requitals for the quarrel of Zion.
因耶和华有报仇之日， 为锡安的争辩有报应之年。
9 Then shall the torrents thereof be turned into pitch, And the dust thereof, into brimstone, —So shall her land become burning pitch:
以东的河水要变为石油， 尘埃要变为硫磺； 地土成为烧着的石油，
10 Neither night nor day, shall it be quenched, To times age-abiding, shall ascend the smoke thereof, —From generation to generation, shall it be waste, Never, never, shall any pass through it:
昼夜总不熄灭， 烟气永远上腾， 必世世代代成为荒废， 永永远远无人经过。
11 That the vomiting pelican and the bittern may possess it: And the great owl and the raven, dwell therein; Then will he stretch out over it The line of desolation, and The plummet of emptiness.
鹈鹕、箭猪却要得为业； 猫头鹰、乌鸦要住在其间。 耶和华必将空虚的准绳， 混沌的线铊，拉在其上。
12 Her nobles (but none, are, there)! unto royalty, will call, —All, all her princes, shall become nought.
以东人要召贵胄来治国； 那里却无一个， 首领也都归于无有。
13 Then shall come up, in her palaces thorns Nettles and thistles in her fortresses, —And she shall become A home for wild dogs, An enclosure for ostriches;
以东的宫殿要长荆棘； 保障要长蒺藜和刺草； 要作野狗的住处， 鸵鸟的居所。
14 Then shall criers meet with howlers, And, the shaggy creature, unto his fellow, shall call, —Only, there, shall, the night-spectre, Make her settlement, And find for herself a place of rest:
旷野的走兽要和豺狼相遇； 野山羊要与伴偶对叫。 夜间的怪物必在那里栖身， 自找安歇之处。
15 There, shall, the arrow-snake, Make her nest and lay, And hatch and gather under her shadow, —Only, there, shall be gathered the falcons, every one with her mate.
箭蛇要在那里做窝， 下蛋，抱蛋，生子， 聚子在其影下； 鹞鹰各与伴偶聚集在那里。
16 Seek ye out of the scroll of Yahweh, and read, Not, one from among them, is lacking, None, hath missed, her mate, —For, a mouth, hath, itself commanded, And, his spirit, hath itself gathered them:
你们要查考宣读耶和华的书。 这都无一缺少， 无一没有伴偶； 因为我的口已经吩咐， 他的灵将它们聚集。
17 Yea he himself, hath cast for them a lot, And his own hand, hath given to them a portion by line, —Unto times age-abiding, shall they possess it, To generation after generation, shall they dwell therein.
他也为它们拈阄， 又亲手用准绳给它们分地； 它们必永得为业， 世世代代住在其间。
