Isaiah 1 1 Oracle on the wastelands by the sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping in waves through the Negeb, there comes from the desert, from the fearful land, 2 2 A cruel sight, revealed to me: the traitor betrays, the despoiler spoils. ＂Go up, Elam; besiege, O Media; I will put an end to all groaning!＂ 一凄惨的神视显示给我：抢夺的尽量抢夺，破坏的尽量破坏。厄蓝，上前！玛待，围攻！我要结束所有的叹息！ 3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish, pangs have seized me like those of a woman in labor; I am too bewildered to hear, too dismayed to look. 为此我的两腰满是酸痛，侵袭我的剧痛无异产妇的痛苦；我惶乱得不能再听，我昏迷得不能再看。 4 My mind reels, shuddering assails me; My yearning for twilight has turned into dread. 我的心神错乱了，恐怖骤然袭击了我；我所渴望的黄昏，为我反成了恐怖。 5 3 They set the table, spread out the rugs; they eat, they drink. Rise up, O princes, oil the shield! 盛宴已摆，华毯已铺，人们正在吃喝之际：＂将帅们！起来！用油擦盾！＂ 6 For thus says my Lord to me: Go, station a watchman, let him tell what he sees. 因为吾主对我这样说：＂去！派置一个警卫，叫他报告他所见的！ 7 If he sees a chariot, a pair of horses, Someone riding an ass, someone riding a camel, Then let him pay heed, very close heed. 当他见到骑兵队、一对一对的马兵、驴队和骆驼队时，他要注意，要多多注意！＂ 8 Then the watchman cried, ＂On the watchtower, O my Lord, I stand constantly by day; And I stay at my post through all the watches of the night. 守望者喊叫：＂吾主！我整日站在瞭望台上，长夜鹄立在我的守望所。 9 Here he comes now: a single chariot, a pair of horses; He calls out and says, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon, And all the images of her gods are smashed to the ground.'＂ 看哪！来了一队人马，一对一对的骑兵！＂有一个喊叫说：＂陷落了！巴比伦陷落了！她所有的神像也都摔碎在地！＂ 10 O my people who have been threshed, beaten on my threshing floor! What I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I have announced to you. 我那被碾轧的百姓，我那禾场上的子民！凡是我由万军的上主，以色列的天主所听到的，我都告诉了你们。 11 4 Oracle on Edom: They call to me from Seir, ＂Watchman, how much longer the night? Watchman, how much longer the night?＂ 有关厄东的神谕：从色依尔有人向我喊叫说：＂警卫！夜已何时了？夜已何时了？＂ 12 The watchman replies, ＂Morning has come, and again night. If you will ask, ask; come back again.＂ 警卫答说：＂黎明已至，然而仍是黑夜；如果你们仍要询问，询问罢！再来一次！＂ 13 5 Oracle on 有关荒野的神谕：你们在森林中，在荒野里过宿罢！德丹的商旅， 14 Meet the thirsty, bring them water; you who dwell in the 请携水出来迎接口渴的人！特玛地的居民，请备粮接待逃难的人！ 15 They flee from the sword, from the whetted sword; From the taut bow, from the fury of battle. 因为他们出逃，是由于面临刀剑，面临出鞘的刀剑，面临已张的弓弩，面临激烈的战争。 16 6 For thus says the Lord to me: In another year, like those of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall come to an end. 上主曾这样对我说：＂照雇工的年限计，还有三年，刻达尔所有的荣耀都要完结； 17 Few of Kedar's stalwart archers shall remain, for the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken. 刻达尔子民的英勇弓手人数，剩下的很少。＂因为上主以色列的天主，早就这样说了。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [1] Wastelands by the sea: 2 [2] 3 [5] 4 [11-12] Seir: another name for 5 [13-14] 6 [16] Year . . . of a hireling: see note on 16:14.
