以赛亚书 25
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
赞美之歌
25 耶和华啊！你是我的上帝，我要尊崇你，赞美你的名。你信实无比，
按你古时定下的计划行了奇妙的事。
2 你使城邑沦为废墟，
使坚垒沦为荒场。
外族人的宫殿不复存在，
永远不能重建。
3 因此，强盛的国家必颂扬你，
残暴的民族必敬畏你。
4 你是贫穷人的避难所，
是困苦之人患难中的避难所，
你是避风港，
是酷暑中的阴凉处。
残暴之徒的气息好像吹袭墙垣的暴风，
5 又像沙漠中的热气。
但你平息外族人的喧哗，
止息残暴之徒的歌声，
好像云朵消去酷热。
6 在锡安山上，万军之耶和华必为天下万民摆设丰盛的宴席，有陈年佳酿和精选的美食。 7 在这山上，祂必除去遮蔽万民的面纱和笼罩万国的幔子。 8 祂必永远吞灭死亡。主耶和华必擦去各人脸上的眼泪，从世上除掉祂子民的羞辱。这是耶和华说的。 9 到那日，人们必说：“看啊，这是我们的上帝，我们信靠祂，祂拯救了我们。这是耶和华，我们信靠祂，我们要因祂的拯救而欢喜快乐。” 10 耶和华必伸手保护这山，但摩押人必被践踏，像干草被践踏在粪池中。 11 他们必在里面张开手臂，好像张开手臂游泳的人一样。耶和华必摧毁他们的骄傲，挫败他们手中的诡计。 12 祂必拆毁他们高大坚固的城墙，将其夷为平地、化为尘土。
Isaiah 25
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
25 O Lord, thou art my God, I will exalt thee, and give glory to thy name: for thou hast done wonderful things, thy designs of old faithful, amen.
2 For thou hast reduced the city to a heap, the strong city to ruin, the house of strangers, to be no city, and to be no more built up for ever.
3 Therefore shall a strong people praise thee, the city of mighty nations shall fear thee.
4 Because thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress: a refuge from the whirlwind, a shadow from the heat. For the blast of the mighty is like a whirlwind beating against a wall.
5 Thou shalt bring down the tumult of strangers, as heat in thirst: and as with heat under a burning cloud, thou shalt make the branch of the mighty to wither away.
6 And the Lord of hosts shall make unto all people in this mountain, a feast of fat things, a feast of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of wine purified from the lees.
7 And he shall destroy in this mountain the face of the bond with which all people were tied, and the web that he began over all nations.
8 He shall cast death down headlong for ever: and the Lord God shall wipe away tears from every face, and the reproach of his people he shall take away from off the whole earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
9 And they shall say in that day: Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord, we have patiently waited for him, we shall rejoice and be joyfull in his salvation.
10 For the hand of the Lord shall rest in this mountain: and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is broken in pieces with the wain.
11 And he shall stretch forth his hands under him, as he that swimmeth stretcheth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down his glory with the dashing of his hands.
12 And the bulwarks of thy high walls shall fall, and be brought low, and shall be pulled down to the ground, even to the dust.
Isaiah 25
The Message
God’s Hand Rests on This Mountain
25 1-5 God, you are my God.
I celebrate you. I praise you.
You’ve done your share of miracle-wonders,
well-thought-out plans, solid and sure.
Here you’ve reduced the city to rubble,
the strong city to a pile of stones.
The enemy Big City is a non-city,
never to be a city again.
Superpowers will see it and honor you,
brutal oppressors bow in worshipful reverence.
They’ll see that you take care of the poor,
that you take care of poor people in trouble,
Provide a warm, dry place in bad weather,
provide a cool place when it’s hot.
Brutal oppressors are like a winter blizzard
and vicious foreigners like high noon in the desert.
But you, shelter from the storm and shade from the sun,
shut the mouths of the big-mouthed bullies.
6-8 But here on this mountain, God-of-the-Angel-Armies
will throw a feast for all the people of the world,
A feast of the finest foods, a feast with vintage wines,
a feast of seven courses, a feast lavish with gourmet desserts.
And here on this mountain, God will banish
the pall of doom hanging over all peoples,
The shadow of doom darkening all nations.
Yes, he’ll banish death forever.
And God will wipe the tears from every face.
He’ll remove every sign of disgrace
From his people, wherever they are.
Yes! God says so!
9-10 Also at that time, people will say,
“Look at what’s happened! This is our God!
We waited for him and he showed up and saved us!
This God, the one we waited for!
Let’s celebrate, sing the joys of his salvation.
God’s hand rests on this mountain!”
10-12 As for the Moabites, they’ll be treated like trash,
waste shoveled into a cesspool.
Thrash away as they will,
like swimmers trying to stay afloat,
They’ll sink in the sewage.
Their pride will pull them under.
Their famous fortifications will crumble to nothing,
those mighty walls reduced to dust.
Isaiah 25
Wycliffe Bible
25 Lord, thou art my God, I shall enhance thee, and I shall acknowledge to thy name; for thou hast done marvels, thine eld faithful thoughts. Amen. (Lord, thou art my God, I shall exalt thee, and I shall praise thy name; for thou hast done marvellous things, thou art faithful to thy thoughts of old. Amen.)
2 For thou hast set the city into a burial, a strong city into falling, the house of aliens (yea, the house of foreigners, or of strangers), (so) that it be not a city, and be not builded (again) without end.
3 For this thing a strong people shall praise thee, the city of strong folks shall dread thee. (For this thing strong people shall praise thee, and the cities of strong nations shall fear thee.)
4 For thou art made strength to a poor man, strength to a needy man in his tribulation, hope from [the] whirlwind, a shadowing place from heat; for why the spirit of strong men is as a whirlwind hurling the wall. (For thou art made strength to the poor, strength to the needy in their tribulation, hope from the whirlwind, a place of shadow, or of shade, from the heat; for the blast of the strong, or of the ruthless, is like a whirlwind hurtling against the wall.)
5 As by heat in thirst, thou shalt make meek the noise of aliens; and as by heat under a cloud burning, thou shalt make the scions of strong men to fade. (Like with the heat in thirst, thou shalt make the noise of the foreigners to be meeked, or subdued; and like with the heat under a burning cloud, thou shalt make the offspring of the strong, or of the ruthless, to fade away, or to die.)
6 And the Lord of hosts shall make in this hill to all peoples the feast of fat things, the feast of vintage of fat things full of marrow, of vintage well-refined. (And on this hill the Lord of hosts shall make the feast of fat things for all peoples, the feast of the vintage of fat things full of marrow, yea, of well-refined wine.)
7 And he shall cast down in this hill the face of [the] bond, bound (al)together on all peoples, and the web which he weaved on all nations. (And he shall throw down on this hill the covering cast over all the peoples, and the web which he weaved upon all the nations.)
8 And he shall cast down death [into] without end, and the Lord God shall do away each tear from each face; and he shall do away the shame of his people from each land, for the Lord spake. (Yea, he shall throw down death forever, and the Lord God shall do away every tear from every face; and he shall do away the shame of his people from every land, for the Lord spoke.)
9 And they shall say in that day, Lo! this is our God; we abided him, and he shall save us; this is the Lord; we suffered him, and we shall make full out joy, and shall be glad in his health. (And they shall say on that day, Lo! this is our God; we have waited for him, for he shall save us; this is the Lord; we have waited for him, and now we shall rejoice, and shall be happy for his deliverance.)
10 For why the hand of the Lord shall rest in this hill, and Moab shall be threshed under him, as chaffs be stamped in a wain. (For the hand of the Lord shall rest upon this mountain, and Moab shall be threshed under him, like chaff is stamped in a wagon.)
11 And he shall stretch forth his hands under him, as a swimmer stretcheth forth to swim; and he shall make low the glory of him with [the] hurtling down of his hands.
12 And the strongholds of thine high walls shall fall down, and shall be made low, and shall be drawn down to the earth, till to the dust. (And thy fortresses with high walls shall fall down, and shall be made low, and shall be drawn down to the ground, unto the dust.)
以 賽 亞 書 25
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
25 耶 和 華 啊 ， 你 是 我 的 神 ； 我 要 尊 崇 你 ， 我 要 稱 讚 你 的 名 。 因 為 你 以 忠 信 誠 實 行 過 奇 妙 的 事 ， 成 就 你 古 時 所 定 的 。
2 你 使 城 變 為 亂 堆 ， 使 堅 固 城 變 為 荒 場 ， 使 外 邦 人 宮 殿 的 城 不 再 為 城 ， 永 遠 不 再 建 造 。
3 所 以 ， 剛 強 的 民 必 榮 耀 你 ； 強 暴 之 國 的 城 必 敬 畏 你 。
4 因 為 當 強 暴 人 催 逼 人 的 時 候 ， 如 同 暴 風 直 吹 牆 壁 ， 你 就 作 貧 窮 人 的 保 障 ， 作 困 乏 人 急 難 中 的 保 障 ， 作 躲 暴 風 之 處 ， 作 避 炎 熱 的 陰 涼 。
5 你 要 壓 制 外 邦 人 的 喧 嘩 ， 好 像 乾 燥 地 的 熱 氣 下 落 ； 禁 止 強 暴 人 的 凱 歌 ， 好 像 熱 氣 被 雲 影 消 化 。
6 在 這 山 上 ， 萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 必 為 萬 民 用 肥 甘 設 擺 筵 席 ， 用 陳 酒 和 滿 髓 的 肥 甘 ， 並 澄 清 的 陳 酒 ， 設 擺 筵 席 。
7 他 又 必 在 這 山 上 除 滅 遮 蓋 萬 民 之 物 和 遮 蔽 萬 國 蒙 臉 的 帕 子 。
8 他 已 經 吞 滅 死 亡 直 到 永 遠 。 主 耶 和 華 必 擦 去 各 人 臉 上 的 眼 淚 ， 又 除 掉 普 天 下 他 百 姓 的 羞 辱 ， 因 為 這 是 耶 和 華 說 的 。
9 到 那 日 ， 人 必 說 ： 看 哪 ， 這 是 我 們 的 神 ； 我 們 素 來 等 候 他 ， 他 必 拯 救 我 們 。 這 是 耶 和 華 ， 我 們 素 來 等 候 他 ， 我 們 必 因 他 的 救 恩 歡 喜 快 樂 。
10 耶 和 華 的 手 必 按 在 這 山 上 ； 摩 押 人 在 所 居 之 地 必 被 踐 踏 ， 好 像 乾 草 被 踐 踏 在 糞 池 的 水 中 。
11 他 必 在 其 中 伸 開 手 ， 好 像 洑 水 的 伸 開 手 洑 水 一 樣 ； 但 耶 和 華 必 使 他 的 驕 傲 和 他 手 所 行 的 詭 計 一 併 敗 落 。
12 耶 和 華 使 你 城 上 的 堅 固 高 臺 傾 倒 ， 拆 平 ， 直 到 塵 埃 。
