Isaiah 17

Berean Standard Bible
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1This is the burden against Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is no longer a city; it has become a heap of ruins.
1論 大馬士革 的默示： 看哪， 大馬士革 已被廢棄，不再為城， 必變作亂堆。
2The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they will be left to the flocks, which will lie down with no one to fear.
2亞羅珥 的城邑已被撇棄， 必成為牧羊之處； 羊在那裏躺臥，無人驚嚇。
3The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the sovereignty from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the splendor of the Israelites,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
3以法蓮 不再有保障； 大馬士革 不再有國權； 亞蘭 所剩下的 必像 以色列 人的榮耀消滅一樣。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
4“In that day the splendor of Jacob will fade, and the fat of his body will waste away,
4到那日， 雅各 的榮耀必至枵薄； 他肥胖的身體必漸瘦弱。
5as the reaper gathers the standing grain and harvests the ears with his arm, as one gleans heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.
5就必像收割的人收斂禾稼， 用手割取穗子， 又像人在 利乏音谷 拾取遺落的穗子。
6Yet gleanings will remain, like an olive tree that has been beaten— two or three berries atop the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
6其間所剩下的不多，好像人打橄欖樹－ 在儘上的枝梢上只剩兩三個果子； 在多果樹的旁枝上只剩四五個果子。 這是耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝說的。
7In that day men will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
7當那日，人必仰望造他們的主，眼目重看 以色列 的聖者。
8They will not look to the altars they have fashioned with their hands or to the Asherahs and incense altars they have made with their fingers.
8他們必不仰望祭壇，就是自己手所築的，也不重看自己指頭所做的，無論是木偶是日像。
9In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken thickets and summits, abandoned to the Israelites and to utter desolation.
9在那日，他們的堅固城必像樹林中和山頂上所撇棄的地方，就是從前在 以色列 人面前被人撇棄的。這樣，地就荒涼了。
10For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and failed to remember the Rock of your refuge. Therefore, though you cultivate delightful plots and set out cuttings from exotic vines—
10因你忘記救你的上帝， 不記念你能力的磐石； 所以，你栽上佳美的樹秧子， 插上異樣的栽子。
11though on the day you plant you make them grow, and on that morning you help your seed sprout— yet the harvest will vanish on the day of disease and incurable pain.
11栽種的日子，你周圍圈上籬笆， 又到早晨使你所種的開花； 但在愁苦極其傷痛的日子， 所收割的都飛去了。
12Alas, the tumult of many peoples; they rage like the roaring seas and clamoring nations; they rumble like the crashing of mighty waters.
12唉！多民鬨嚷，好像海浪匉訇； 列邦奔騰，好像猛水滔滔；
13The nations rage like the rush of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweeds before a gale.
13列邦奔騰，好像多水滔滔； 但上帝斥責他們，他們就遠遠逃避， 又被追趕，如同山上的風前糠， 又如暴風前的旋風土。
14In the evening, there is sudden terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us and the lot of those who plunder us.
14到晚上有驚嚇，未到早晨他們就沒有了。這是擄掠我們之人所得的分，是搶奪我們之人的報應。
