以賽亞書 25
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
讚美之歌
25 耶和華啊！你是我的上帝，我要尊崇你，讚美你的名。你信實無比，
按你古時定下的計劃行了奇妙的事。
2 你使城邑淪為廢墟，
使堅壘淪為荒場。
外族人的宮殿不復存在，
永遠不能重建。
3 因此，強盛的國家必頌揚你，
殘暴的民族必敬畏你。
4 你是貧窮人的避難所，
是困苦之人患難中的避難所，
你是避風港，
是酷暑中的陰涼處。
殘暴之徒的氣息好像吹襲牆垣的暴風，
5 又像沙漠中的熱氣。
但你平息外族人的喧嘩，
止息殘暴之徒的歌聲，
好像雲朵消去酷熱。
6 在錫安山上，萬軍之耶和華必為天下萬民擺設豐盛的宴席，有陳年佳釀和精選的美食。 7 在這山上，祂必除去遮蔽萬民的面紗和籠罩萬國的幔子。 8 祂必永遠吞滅死亡。主耶和華必擦去各人臉上的眼淚，從世上除掉祂子民的羞辱。這是耶和華說的。 9 到那日，人們必說：「看啊，這是我們的上帝，我們信靠祂，祂拯救了我們。這是耶和華，我們信靠祂，我們要因祂的拯救而歡喜快樂。」 10 耶和華必伸手保護這山，但摩押人必被踐踏，像乾草被踐踏在糞池中。 11 他們必在裡面張開手臂，好像張開手臂游泳的人一樣。耶和華必摧毀他們的驕傲，挫敗他們手中的詭計。 12 祂必拆毀他們高大堅固的城牆，將其夷為平地、化為塵土。

Inno di ringraziamento
25 Signore, tu sei il mio Dio;
voglio esaltarti e lodare il tuo nome,
perché hai eseguito progetti meravigliosi,
concepiti da lungo tempo, fedeli e veri.
2 Poiché hai ridotto la città ad un mucchio di sassi,
la cittadella fortificata ad una rovina,
la fortezza dei superbi non è più città,
non si ricostruirà mai più.
3 Per questo ti glorifica un popolo forte,
la città di genti possenti ti venera.
4 Perché tu sei sostegno al misero,
sostegno al povero nella sua angoscia,
riparo dalla tempesta, ombra contro il caldo;
poiché lo sbuffare dei tiranni è come pioggia d'inverno,
5 come arsura in terra arida il clamore dei superbi.
Tu mitighi l'arsura con l'ombra d'una nube,
l'inno dei tiranni si spegne.
Il divino banchetto
6 Preparerà il Signore degli eserciti
per tutti i popoli, su questo monte,
un banchetto di grasse vivande, un banchetto di vini eccellenti,
di cibi succulenti, di vini raffinati.
7 Egli strapperà su questo monte
il velo che copriva la faccia di tutti i popoli
e la coltre che copriva tutte le genti.
8 Eliminerà la morte per sempre;
il Signore Dio asciugherà le lacrime
su ogni volto;
la condizione disonorevole del suo popolo
farà scomparire da tutto il paese,
poiché il Signore ha parlato.
9 E si dirà in quel giorno: «Ecco il nostro Dio;
in lui abbiamo sperato perché ci salvasse;
questi è il Signore in cui abbiamo sperato;
rallegriamoci, esultiamo per la sua salvezza.
10 Poiché la mano del Signore si poserà su questo monte».
Moab invece sarà calpestato al suolo,
come si pesta la paglia nella concimaia.
11 Là esso stenderà le mani,
come le distende il nuotatore per nuotare;
ma il Signore abbasserà la sua superbia,
nonostante l'annaspare delle sue mani.
12 L'eccelsa fortezza delle tue mura
egli abbatterà e demolirà,
la raderà al suolo.
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.)
