以赛亚书 18
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1唉！ 古实 河外翅膀刷刷响声之地，
1Ah, land of the buzzing of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
2差遣使者在水面上， 坐蒲草船过海。 先知说 ：你们快行的使者， 要到高大光滑的民那里去。 自从开国以来，那民极其可畏， 是分 地界 践踏 人 的； 他们的地有江河分开。
2That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters! Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and of glossy skin, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!
3世上一切的居民和地上所住的人哪， 山上竖立大旗的时候你们要看； 吹角的时候你们要听。
3All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the horn is blown, hear ye.
4耶和华对我这样说： 我要安静，在我的居所观看， 如同日光中的清热， 又如露水的云雾在收割的热天。
4For thus hath the LORD said unto me: I will hold Me still, and I will look on in My dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5收割之先，花开已谢， 花也成了将熟的葡萄； 他必用镰刀削去嫩枝， 又砍掉蔓延的枝条，
5For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the bud becometh a ripening grape, He will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the shoots will He take away and lop off.
6都要撇给山间的鸷鸟和地上的野兽。 夏天，鸷鸟要宿在其上； 冬天，野兽都卧在其中。
6They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7到那时，这高大光滑的民， 就是从开国以来极其可畏、 分 地界 践踏 人 的， 他们的地有江河分开； 他们必将礼物奉给万军之耶和华， 就是奉到 锡安山 — 耶和华安置他名的地方。
7In that time shall a present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people tall and of glossy skin, and from a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
