賽24

以賽亞書-Isaiah 第 24 章

24:1	耶和華使地空虛，變為荒涼；又將地麵扭曲，使居民分散。 Jehovah now makes the earth desolate and lays it waste; He distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants:
24:2	那時百姓怎樣，祭司也怎樣；仆人怎樣，主人也怎樣；婢女怎樣，主母也怎樣；買物的怎樣，賣物的也怎樣；放債的怎樣，借債的也怎樣；取利的怎樣，出利的也怎樣。 As it is with the people, so will it be with the priest; As it is with the servant, so will it be with the master; As it is with the maid, so will it be with the mistress; As it is with the buyer, so will it be with the seller; As it is with the lender, so will it be with the borrower; As it is with the creditor, so will it be with him to whom he gives credit.
24:3	地必全然空虛，盡被掠奪，因為這話是耶和華說的。 The earth will be utterly desolated And utterly spoiled, For Jehovah has spoken this word.
24:4	地悲哀衰殘，世界敗落衰殘，地上居高位的人也敗落了。 The earth dries up and fades away; The world languishes and fades away; The exalted of the people of the earth languish.
24:5	地被其上的居民汙穢；因為他們犯了律法，廢了律例，背了永約。 And the earth is polluted under the weight of its inhabitants; For they have transgressed laws, they have violated statutes, They have broken an eternal covenant.
24:6	所以咒詛將地吞滅，其上的居民顯為有罪；因此，地上的居民被焚燒，剩下的人稀少。 Therefore a curse devours the earth And the inhabitants of it are held guilty; Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, And few men are left.
24:7	新酒悲哀，葡萄樹衰殘；心中歡樂的，俱都歎息。 The new wine mourns; the vine languishes; All the merryhearted sigh.
24:8	擊鼓之樂止息，歡樂人的喧嘩停頓，彈琴之樂也止息了。 The mirth of the tambourines ceases; The noise of those who exult stops; The mirth of the lyre ceases.
24:9	人必不得飲酒唱歌；喝濃酒的，必以為苦。 Men do not drink wine in song; Liquor is bitter to those who drink it.
24:10	荒廢的城拆毀了；各家關門閉戶，使人不得進去。 The city of chaos is broken down; Every house is shut up that none may enter.
24:11	在街上有呼喊要酒的聲音；一切的喜樂變為昏暗；地上的歡樂都離去了。 A cry for wine is in the streets; All joy is darkened; The mirth of the land is departed.
24:12	城中隻有荒涼，城門拆毀淨盡。 In the city desolation remains, And the gate is crushed to ruins.
24:13	在大地之間，萬民之中必如此：像打過的橄欖樹，又像已摘的葡萄所剩無幾。 For thus will it be in the midst of the earth, Among the peoples: Like the shaking of an olive tree, Like the gleanings when the grape harvest is completed.
24:14	剩餘的人要高聲歡呼；他們要因耶和華的威嚴，從西邊揚起聲來。 They will lift up their voice; they will give a ringing shout; Because of the majesty of Jehovah they will cry out from the west.
24:15	因此你們要在東方榮耀耶和華，在眾海島榮耀耶和華以色列神的名。 Therefore in the east glorify Jehovah, Even the name of Jehovah the God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
24:16	我們聽見從地極有歌聲，說，榮耀歸與那義者！我卻說，我消瘦了！我消瘦了！我有禍了！詭詐的行詭詐！詭詐的大行詭詐！ From the ends of the earth we hear songs: Glory to the righteous One! But I say, Leanness to me! Leanness to me! Woe to me! The unfaithful deal unfaithfully! Indeed the unfaithful deal most unfaithfully!
24:17	地上的居民哪，恐懼、陷坑、網羅都臨到你。 Dread, pit, and snare Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
24:18	躲避恐懼聲音的必墜入陷坑，從陷坑上來的必被網羅纏住；因為高天的窗戶都開了，地的根基也震動了。 And he who flees from the sound of dread Will fall into the pit, And he who comes up out of the pit Will be taken in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, And the foundations of the earth shake.
24:19	地全然破壞，盡都崩裂，大大的震動了。 The earth is broken asunder; The earth is split through and through; The earth is shaken violently.
24:20	地東倒西歪，好像醉酒的人；又搖來搖去，好像茅屋。地的罪過在其上沉重，必然塌陷，不能複起。 The earth staggers back and forth like a drunkard And sways about like a field hut. And its transgression weighs heavily upon it; It will fall and will not rise again.
24:21	到那日耶和華在高處必懲罰高處的眾軍，在地上必懲罰地上的列王。 And in that day Jehovah will punish On high the host on high, And the kings of the earth on the earth.
24:22	他們必被聚集，像囚犯被聚在牢獄中，並要囚在監牢裏，多日之後必被討罪。 And they will be gathered together, Like prisoners gathered in a dungeon; And will be shut up in prison, And after many days they will be punished.
24:23	那時月亮要蒙羞，日頭要慚愧；因為萬軍之耶和華必在錫安山、在耶路撒冷作王，在祂的長老麵前必有榮耀。 Then the moon will be abashed, and the sun will be ashamed; For Jehovah of hosts will reign In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, And His glory will be before His elders.
