以赛亚书 13
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
预言巴比伦倾覆
13 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得到关于巴比伦的默示：
2 你要在光秃的山上竖起旗帜，
向众人扬声挥手，
叫他们进入权贵的门。
3 我向我特选的军兵下了命令；
我也呼召了我的勇士，
就是那些骄傲自夸的人，
去执行我在怒气中所要作的。
4 听啊！山上有喧哗的声音，
好象是众多的人民；
听啊！有多国的人的嘈杂声，
好象是列国聚集在一起。
万军之耶和华正在数点军兵，预备打仗。
5 他们从远地而来，
从天边而来。
就是耶和华和他恼怒的工具，
要毁灭这全地。
6 哀号吧！因为耶和华的日子近了，
这日子来到，好象毁灭从全能者那里来到一样。
7 因此，各人的手都必发软，
各人也必心惊胆战。
8 他们都要惊惶失措，
疼痛与痛苦必抓住他们；
他们必绞痛，像生产中的妇人一样。
他们在惊愕中彼此对望，
面色像火焰一般。
9 看哪！耶和华的日子快来到，
必有残忍、愤恨与烈怒，
使这地荒凉，
使其中的罪人灭绝。
10 天上的星星和众星座
不再发光；
太阳刚出来就变为黑暗，
月亮也不再发光。
11 我必因世界的邪恶施行刑罚，
也必因恶人的罪孽惩罚他们；
我要使狂妄人的骄傲止息，
使强暴人的狂傲降卑。
12 我必使人比精金还少，
使人比俄斐的金更稀罕。
13 在万军之耶和华发怒的时候，
就是我大发烈怒的日子，
我要使天震动，
大地必摇撼，离开本位。
14 人必像被追猎的羚羊，
又像无人招聚的羊群，
各自归向本族，
各自逃回本地。
15 凡被追上的，必被刺死；
凡被捉住的，必倒在刀下。
16 他们的婴孩必在他们眼前被摔死；
他们的房屋必被抢掠，
他们的妻子必被污辱。
17 看哪！我要激动玛代人来攻击他们。
玛代人不重视银子，也不喜爱金子。
18 他们的弓箭必射倒年轻人，
他们不怜悯妇人腹中的婴儿；
他们的眼也不顾惜小孩。
19 巴比伦本是列国中的华美，是迦勒底人引以为傲的荣耀，
必像 神倾覆的所多玛、蛾摩拉一样。
20 那地必永远没有居民，世世代代无人居住；
阿拉伯人不在那里搭帐幕；
牧羊人也不领羊群躺卧在那里。
21 躺卧在那里的，只有旷野的走兽；
充满着他们房屋的，只有吼叫着的野兽；
鸵鸟住在那里，野山羊在那里跳跃。
22 豺狼必在巴比伦的宫中呼号，
野狗必在他们华美的殿里吠叫。
巴比伦受罚的时候临近了，
它的日子必不长久。

预言审判巴比伦
13 以下是亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得到有关巴比伦的预言：
2 要在光秃的山顶上竖立旗帜，
向战士高呼，
挥手示意他们进攻贵族居住的城。
3 我已向我拣选的士兵发出命令，
我已号召我的勇士去倾倒我的烈怒，
他们因我的胜利而欢喜。
4 听啊，山上人声鼎沸，
像是大军的声音。
那是列邦列国聚集呐喊的声音。
万军之耶和华正在召集军队，
准备作战。
5 他们从地极，从天边而来。
那是耶和华及倾倒祂烈怒的兵器，
要来毁灭大地。
6 哀号吧！
耶和华的日子近了，
全能者施行毁灭的时候到了。
7 人们都必双手发软，胆战心惊，
8 惊恐万状，
痛苦不堪如同分娩的妇人。
他们必面面相觑，
羞愧得面如火烧。
9 看啊，耶和华的日子来临了，
是充满愤恨和烈怒的残酷之日，
要使大地荒凉，
毁灭地上的罪人。
10 天上的星辰不再发光，
太阳刚出来就变黑，
月亮也暗淡无光。
11 我必惩罚这罪恶的世界，
惩治邪恶的世人，
制止骄横之人的狂妄，
压下残暴之徒的骄傲。
12 我必使人比精炼的金子还稀少，
比俄斐的纯金更罕见。
13 我万军之耶和华发烈怒的日子，
必震动诸天，
摇撼大地。
14 人们都投奔亲族，
逃回故乡，
好像被追赶的鹿，
又如走散的羊。
15 被捉住的人都会被刺死，
被逮住的人都会丧身刀下。
16 他们的婴孩将被摔死在他们眼前，
家园遭劫掠，
妻子被蹂躏。
17 看啊，我要驱使玛代人来攻击他们。
玛代人不在乎金子，
也不看重银子，
18 他们必用弓箭射死青年，
不怜悯婴儿，
也不顾惜孩童。
19 巴比伦在列国中辉煌无比，
是迦勒底人的荣耀，
但上帝必毁灭她，
好像毁灭所多玛和蛾摩拉一样。
20 那里必人烟绝迹，
世世代代无人居住，
没有阿拉伯人在那里支搭帐篷，
也无人牧放羊群。
21 那里躺卧着旷野的走兽，
咆哮的猛兽占满房屋；
鸵鸟住在那里，
野山羊在那里跳跃嬉戏。
22 豺狼在城楼上嚎叫，
野狗在宫殿里狂吠。
巴比伦的结局近了，
它的时候不多了！
Isaiah 13
King James Version
13 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
