Isaiah 21
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweeping on, it cometh from the wilderness, from a dreadful land.
1論海旁曠野的默示： 有 仇敵 從曠野，從可怕之地而來， 好像南方的旋風，猛然掃過。
2A grievous vision is declared unto me: 'The treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam! besiege, O Media! All the sighing thereof have I made to cease.'
2令人悽慘的異象已默示於我。 詭詐的行詭詐，毀滅的行毀滅。 以攔 哪，你要上去！ 米底亞 啊，你要圍困！ 主說 ：我使一切歎息止住。
3Therefore are my loins filled with convulsion; pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bent so that I cannot hear; I am affrighted so that I cannot see.
3所以，我滿腰疼痛； 痛苦將我抓住， 好像產難的婦人一樣。 我疼痛甚至不能聽； 我驚惶甚至不能看。
4My heart is bewildered, terror hath overwhelmed me; the twilight that I longed for hath been turned for me into trembling.
4我心慌張，驚恐威嚇我。 我所羨慕的黃昏，變為我的戰兢。
5They prepare the table, they light the lamps, they eat, they drink — 'Rise up, ye princes, anoint the shield.'
5他們擺設筵席， 派人守望，又吃又喝。 首領啊，你們起來， 用油抹盾牌。
6For thus hath the Lord said unto me: Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth!
6主對我如此說： 你去設立守望的， 使他將所看見的述說。
7And when he seeth a troop, horsemen by pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels, he shall hearken diligently with much heed.
7他看見軍隊， 就是騎馬的一對一對地來， 又看見驢隊，駱駝隊， 就要側耳細聽。
8And he cried as a lion: 'Upon the watch-tower, O Lord, I stand continually in the daytime, and I am set in my ward all the nights.'
8他像獅子吼叫， 說 ： 主啊，我白日常站在望樓上， 整夜立在我守望所。
9And, behold, there came a troop of men, horsemen by pairs. And he spoke and said: 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground.'
9看哪，有一隊軍兵騎着馬， 一對一對地來。 他就說： 巴比倫 傾倒了！傾倒了！ 他一切雕刻的神像都打碎於地。
10O thou my threshing, and the winnowing of my floor, that which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
10我被打的禾稼，我場上的穀啊， 我從萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝那裏所聽見的，都告訴你們了。
11The burden of Dumah. One calleth unto me out of Seir: 'Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?'
11論 度瑪 的默示： 有人聲從 西珥 呼問我 說 ： 守望的啊，夜裏如何？ 守望的啊，夜裏如何？
12The watchman said: 'The morning cometh, and also the night — if ye will inquire, inquire ye; return, come.'
12守望的說： 早晨將到，黑夜也來。 你們若要問就可以問， 可以回頭再來。
13The burden upon Arabia. In the thickets in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanites.
13論 阿拉伯 的默示： 底但 結伴的客旅啊， 你們必在 阿拉伯 的樹林中住宿。
14Unto him that is thirsty bring ye water! The inhabitants of the land of Tema did meet the fugitive with his bread.
14提瑪 地的居民拿水來，送給口渴的， 拿餅來迎接逃避的。
15For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
15因為他們逃避刀劍和出了鞘的刀， 並上了弦的弓與刀兵的重災。
16For thus hath the Lord said unto me: 'Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail;
16主對我這樣說：「一年之內，照雇工的年數， 基達 的一切榮耀必歸於無有。
17and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished; for the LORD, the God of Israel, hath spoken it.'
17弓箭手所餘剩的，就是 基達 人的勇士，必然稀少，因為這是耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝說的。」
