Isaiah 25
English Standard Version
God Will Swallow Up Death Forever
25 O Lord, (A)you are my God;
    (B)I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
    (C)plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
2 For you have made the city (D)a heap,
    the fortified city a ruin;
the foreigners' palace is a city no more;
    it will never be rebuilt.
3 (E)Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
    cities of ruthless nations will fear you.
4 (F)For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
    a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
    (G)a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
(H)for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
5     (I)like heat in a dry place.
You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
    as heat by the shade of a cloud,
    so the song of the ruthless is put down.
6 (J)On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
    a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
    (K)of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
7 And he will swallow up (L)on this mountain
    the covering that is cast over all peoples,
    (M)the veil that is spread over all nations.
8     (N)He will swallow up death forever;
and (O)the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
    and (P)the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
    (Q)for the Lord has spoken.
9 It will be said on that day,
    “Behold, this is our God; (R)we have waited for him, that he might save us.
    This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
    (S)let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest (T)on this mountain,
    and (U)Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
    as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.[a]
11 (V)And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it
    as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim,
    but the Lord (W)will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill[b] of his hands.
12 And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down,
    lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.

以赛亚书 25
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稱頌的詩歌
25 耶和華啊!你是我的 神,
我要尊崇你,稱謝你的名,
因為你以信實真誠作成了奇妙的事,
就是你遠古以前所計劃的事。
2 你使城市變成廢堆,
使堅固城變為荒涼的地方,
使外族人的城堡不再為城,
永遠不得重建。
3 因此,強大的民族必榮耀你;
強暴之國的城也要敬畏你。
4 你作了困乏人的保障、
貧窮人急難中的保障、
躲暴風雨的避難所、避炎熱的陰涼處;
因為強暴者所吹的氣,
如同直吹牆壁的暴風。
5 你抑制外族人的喧嘩,好像減低乾旱之地的炎熱;
你禁止強暴者的凱歌,好像熱氣因雲彩而消散。
聖山上擺設筵席
6 萬軍之耶和華必在這山上為萬民擺設豐盛美筵,有陳酒、滿髓的肥甘和醇美好酒。 7 他又必在這山上除滅那遮蓋萬民的面巾,和那遮蓋列國的帕子。 8 他要吞滅死亡,直到永遠;主耶和華必擦去各人臉上的眼淚,又從地上除掉他子民的羞辱;這是耶和華說的。
神施行拯救,懲罰敵人
9 到那日,必有人說:“看哪!這是我們的 神;我們信靠他,他必拯救我們。這是耶和華,我們所倚靠的,我們要因他的拯救歡喜快樂。 10 耶和華的手必放在這山上;但摩押人在自己的地方必受踐踏,好像乾草在糞坑中被踐踏一樣。 11 他們必在其中伸開手來,好像游泳者伸開手來游泳一樣;但耶和華要使他們的驕傲和他們手所行的詭計,一同敗落。 12 耶和華必使他們高聳而堅固的城牆傾倒下陷,落在地面,變作塵土。”
Isaiah 25
New International Version
Praise to the Lord
25 Lord, you are my God;(A)
    I will exalt you and praise your name,(B)
for in perfect faithfulness(C)
    you have done wonderful things,(D)
    things planned(E) long ago.
2 You have made the city a heap of rubble,(F)
    the fortified(G) town a ruin,(H)
the foreigners’ stronghold(I) a city no more;
    it will never be rebuilt.(J)
3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(K)
    cities of ruthless(L) nations will revere you.
4 You have been a refuge(M) for the poor,(N)
    a refuge for the needy(O) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(P)
    and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(Q)
    is like a storm driving against a wall
5     and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(R) the uproar of foreigners;(S)
    as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
    so the song of the ruthless(T) is stilled.
6 On this mountain(U) the Lord Almighty will prepare
    a feast(V) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
    the best of meats and the finest of wines.(W)
7 On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud(X) that enfolds all peoples,(Y)
the sheet that covers all nations;
8     he will swallow up death(Z) forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears(AA)
    from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace(AB)
    from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.(AC)
9 In that day(AD) they will say,
“Surely this is our God;(AE)
    we trusted(AF) in him, and he saved(AG) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice(AH) and be glad in his salvation.”(AI)
10 The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain;(AJ)
    but Moab(AK) will be trampled in their land
    as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will stretch out their hands in it,
    as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim.
God will bring down(AL) their pride(AM)
    despite the cleverness[a] of their hands.
12 He will bring down your high fortified walls(AN)
    and lay them low;(AO)
he will bring them down to the ground,
    to the very dust.
