以赛亚书 21
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
关于巴比伦的预言
21 以下是关于海边沙漠[a]的预言：
敌人从可怕的沙漠之地上来，
好像狂风扫过南部的旷野。
2 我看见一个令人胆战心惊的异象：
“诡诈的在行诡诈，
毁灭的在行毁灭。
以拦人啊，攻打吧！
玛代人啊，围城吧！
耶和华必终止巴比伦带来的痛苦。”
3 这使我充满痛苦，
我陷入剧痛中，
如同分娩的妇人，
我因听见的话而惊慌，
因看见的景象而害怕。
4 我心慌意乱，惊惧不堪，
我期盼的黄昏却令我恐惧。
5 他们摆设宴席，
坐在地毯上又吃又喝。
突然有人大喊：
“官长啊，起来擦亮盾牌，备战吧！”
6 耶和华对我说：
“你去派人守望，
让他报告所看见的情况。
7 他看到战车、一对对的骑兵、
驴队和骆驼队的时候，
要提高警惕，密切察看。”
8 守望的人大喊：
“我主啊，我在瞭望塔上日夜观看。
9 看啊，战车和一对对的骑兵来了。”
他又接着说：“巴比伦倾倒了！
倾倒了！
她所有的神像都被打碎在地上。”
10 于是，我说：“我的百姓啊！
你们像场上被碾、被筛的谷物，
现在我把从以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华那里听见的都告诉你们了。”
关于以东的预言
11 以下是关于以东的预言。
有人从西珥大声问我：
“守夜的啊，黑夜还有多长？
守夜的啊，黑夜还有多长？”
12 我回答：
“黎明将到，但黑夜会再来。
如果你们还想问，再来问吧。”
关于阿拉伯的预言
13 以下是关于阿拉伯的预言：
成群结队的底但客旅必躲在阿拉伯的荒野过夜。
14 提玛的居民啊，要送水给这些口渴的人，
拿食物给这些逃难的人。
15 他们从敌人的刀光箭影中逃生。
16 耶和华对我说：“如同雇工合约规定的做工年限，一年之内，基达所有的荣耀必消失， 17 勇敢的弓箭手必所剩无几。这是以色列的上帝耶和华说的。”

Isaiah 21
King James Version
21 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 A 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.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
