- 13:1 The burden concerning Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:
-
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚所得关于巴比伦的默示：
- 13:2 Upon a bare mountain raise up a standard; Lift up your voice to them. Wave your hand that they may enter The gates of the nobles.
-
应当在光秃的山上高举旌旗，向他们扬声招手，使他们进入贵胄的门。
- 13:3 I Myself have commanded My sanctified ones; I have also called My mighty ones to My wrath, Those who exult in My majesty.
-
我吩咐我所分别的人；我也招呼我的勇士，就是那些因我的威严夸耀的人，为要成就我怒中所定的。
- 13:4 The sound of a tumult in the mountains, Like that of many peoples! The sound of an uproar of the kingdoms, Of nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts is mustering An army for battle.
-
山间有喧嚷的声音，好像是众多的人民！有多国哄嚷的声音，是列国聚集的声音！这是万军之耶和华点齐军队，预备打仗。
- 13:5 They are coming from a distant land, From the ends of heaven-Jehovah and the instruments of His indignation-To ruin all the land.
-
他们从远地来，从天边来，就是耶和华并祂恼恨的工具，要毁灭全地。
- 13:6 Howl, for the day of Jehovah has drawn near! As destruction from the Almighty, it will come.
-
你们要哀号，因为耶和华的日子临近了！这日要来到，好像毁灭从全能者来到一样。
- 13:7 Because of this all the hands will drop, And every human heart will melt;
-
所以人手都必发软，人心都必融化。
- 13:8 And people will be dismayed. Pangs and anguish will seize them; Like a woman giving birth, they will writhe. Each man will look toward his neighbor dumbfounded; Their faces are inflamed.
-
他们必惊惶失措，疼痛与痛苦必将他们抓住；他们必绞痛，好像生产的妇人一样；各人与邻舍惊愕对望，脸如火焰。
- 13:9 Now the day of Jehovah is coming-Cruel and with overflowing wrath and burning anger-To make the land a desolation; And He will destroy its sinners off of it.
-
看哪，耶和华的日子临到，是残忍的，有盛怒和烈怒，使这地荒凉；祂必从其中除灭罪人。
- 13:10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not shine forth their light; The sun will be dark at its rising, And the moon will not let its light shine.
-
天上的众星群宿都不发光；日头一出就变黑暗，月亮也不放光。
- 13:11 And I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will stop the arrogance of the proud, And the haughtiness of the terrible I will abase.
-
我必因邪恶刑罚世界，因罪孽刑罚恶人；我要使骄傲人的狂妄止息，使强暴人的狂傲降为卑。
- 13:12 I will make mortal man rarer than pure gold, And mankind rarer than the gold of Ophir.
-
我必使人比精金还稀少，使人比俄斐金更稀少。
- 13:13 Hence, I will make the heavens shake, And the earth will quake out of its place, At the overflowing wrath of Jehovah of hosts, In the day of His burning anger.
-
为此，我万军之耶和华必在盛怒之中，在发烈怒的日子，使天震动，使地摇撼，离其本位。
- 13:14 And like the hunted gazelle And sheep without someone to gather them, Each man will turn to his own people, And each will flee to his own land.
-
人必像被追赶的羚羊，像无人收聚的羊，各归回本族，各逃到本土。
- 13:15 Everyone found will be pierced through, And everyone caught will fall by the sword.
-
凡被仇敌找着的，必被刺死；凡被捉住的，必倒在刀下。
- 13:16 And their little ones will be dashed to pieces Before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered, And their wives will be attacked.
-
他们的婴孩必在他们眼前摔碎；他们的房屋必被抢夺，他们的妻子必被玷污。
- 13:17 Now I rouse up the Medes against them, Who will not esteem silver highly, Nor take delight in gold.
-
看哪，我激动玛代人来攻击他们；玛代人不注重银子，也不喜爱金子。
- 13:18 Their bows will shatter the young men; And they will not have compassion on the fruit of the womb: Their eyes will have no pity on children.
-
他们必用弓击碎少年人，不怜恤妇人所生的，眼也不顾惜孩子。
- 13:19 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory of the Chaldeans' majesty, Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah:
-
巴比伦素来为列国的华美，为迦勒底人所夸耀的荣华，必像神所倾覆的所多玛、蛾摩拉一样：
- 13:20 It will not be inhabited forever; It will not be dwelt in from generation to generation. And the Arab will not set up his tent there, Nor will the shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
-
其内必永无居民，世世代代无人居住。亚拉伯人不在那里支搭帐棚，牧羊的人也不使羊群卧在那里。
- 13:21 But desert animals will lie down there, And their houses will be full of wild dogs; There ostriches will dwell, And wild goats will prance there;
-
只有旷野的走兽卧在那里，咆哮的兽满了房屋；鸵鸟住在那里，野山羊在那里跳跃；
- 13:22 Hyenas will respond in their citadels, And jackals in their exquisite palaces. Her time is about to come, And her days will not be prolonged.
-
豺狼必在巴比伦的宫中呼应，野狗必在华美的殿内呼号。巴比伦受罚的时候临近，她的日子必不久延。
