Isaiah 14
1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
耶和华要怜恤雅各，必再拣选以色列，将他们安置在本地。寄居的必与他们联合，紧贴雅各家。
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
外邦人必将他们带回本土；以色列家必在耶和华的地上得外邦人为仆婢，也要掳掠先前掳掠他们的，辖制先前欺压他们的。
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
当耶和华使你脱离愁苦、烦恼，并人勉强你做的苦工，得享安息的日子，
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
你必题这诗歌论巴比伦王说： 欺压人的何竟息灭？ 强暴的何竟止息？
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
耶和华折断了恶人的杖， 辖制人的圭，
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
就是在忿怒中连连攻击众民的， 在怒气中辖制列国， 行逼迫无人阻止的。
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
现在全地得安息，享平静； 人皆发声欢呼。
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
松树和黎巴嫩的香柏树 都因你欢乐，说： 自从你仆倒， 再无人上来砍伐我们。
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
你下到阴间， 阴间就因你震动来迎接你， 又因你惊动在世曾为首领的阴魂， 并使那曾为列国君王的， 都离位站起。 (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
他们都要发言对你说： 你也变为软弱像我们一样吗？ 你也成了我们的样子吗？
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
你的威势和你琴瑟的声音都下到阴间。 你下铺的是虫，上盖的是蛆。 (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
明亮之星，早晨之子啊， 你何竟从天坠落？ 你这攻败列国的何竟被砍倒在地上？
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
你心里曾说： 我要升到天上； 我要高举我的宝座在 神众星以上； 我要坐在聚会的山上，在北方的极处。
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
我要升到高云之上； 我要与至上者同等。
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
然而，你必坠落阴间， 到坑中极深之处。 (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
凡看见你的都要定睛看你， 留意看你，说： 使大地战抖， 使列国震动，
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
使世界如同荒野， 使城邑倾覆， 不释放被掳的人归家， 是这个人吗？
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
列国的君王 俱各在自己阴宅的荣耀中安睡。
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
惟独你被抛弃， 不得入你的坟墓， 好像可憎的枝子， 以被杀的人为衣， 就是被刀刺透， 坠落坑中石头那里的； 你又像被践踏的尸首一样。
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
你不得与君王同葬； 因为你败坏你的国，杀戮你的民。 恶人后裔的名，必永不提说。
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
先人既有罪孽， 就要预备杀戮他的子孙， 免得他们兴起来，得了遍地， 在世上修满城邑。
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
万军之耶和华说： 我必兴起攻击他们， 将巴比伦的名号和所余剩的人， 连子带孙一并剪除。 这是耶和华说的。
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
我必使巴比伦为箭猪所得， 又变为水池； 我要用灭亡的扫帚扫净它。 这是万军之耶和华说的。
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
万军之耶和华起誓说： 我怎样思想，必照样成就； 我怎样定意，必照样成立，
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
就是在我地上打折亚述人， 在我山上将他践踏。 他加的轭必离开以色列人； 他加的重担必离开他们的肩头。
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
这是向全地所定的旨意； 这是向万国所伸出的手。
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
万军之耶和华既然定意，谁能废弃呢？ 他的手已经伸出，谁能转回呢？
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
亚哈斯王崩的那年，就有以下的默示：
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
非利士全地啊， 不要因击打你的杖折断就喜乐。 因为从蛇的根必生出毒蛇； 它所生的是火焰的飞龙。
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
贫寒人的长子必有所食； 穷乏人必安然躺卧。 我必以饥荒治死你的根； 你所余剩的人必被杀戮。
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
门哪，应当哀号！ 城啊，应当呼喊！ 非利士全地啊，你都消化了！ 因为有烟从北方出来， 他行伍中并无乱队的。
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
可怎样回答外邦的使者呢？ 必说：耶和华建立了锡安； 他百姓中的困苦人必投奔在其中。
