以赛亚书 47
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
巴比伦的覆灭
47 “巴比伦的少女啊,
下来坐在尘土中吧!
迦勒底的姑娘啊,
坐在没有宝座的地上吧!
因为你必不再娇柔细嫩。
2 你要推磨磨面,
揭下面纱,掀起裙子,
露出大腿,涉水过河。
3 你必赤身裸体,
露出羞处。
我必报仇,不放过一人。
4 我们的救赎主是以色列的圣者,
祂名叫万军之耶和华。
5 “迦勒底的姑娘啊,
要静静地坐着,进入黑暗中,
因为你不再被称为列国之后。
6 我曾向我的子民发怒,
让我的产业被玷污,
把他们交在你手中。
你对他们毫不留情,
甚至让老人负极重的轭。
7 你声称要永远做王后,
不把这些事放在心上,
也不思想以后的结局。
8 “淫逸安舒的人啊,听着!
你以为天地间唯你独尊,
你必不致寡居,
也不会遭丧子之痛。
9 谁知寡居、丧子二事却忽然在同一天临到你身上。
即使你懂得许多邪术和符咒,
也于事无补。
10 “你肆无忌惮地行恶,
自以为没有人看见。
你被自己的聪明智慧欺骗,
自以为天下无双。
11 你必大祸临头,
不知如何祛灾避祸。
灾祸必落在你身上,
无可挽回。
你意想不到的祸患必突然来到。
12 “你自幼就勤练符咒和五花八门的邪术,继续施展吧!
也许会有用处,
也许会令人害怕。
13 众多的计谋使你疲惫不堪,
让那些观天象、
每月说预言的占星家来救你脱离将临的灾祸吧!
14 “看啊,他们不过像枯草,
必遭焚烧,
无法救自己脱离烈焰。
这火并非取暖的炭火,
也不是人可以靠近的火。
15 你自幼交往的占星家帮不上你,
他们都四散奔逃,无人救你。
以赛亚书 47
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
预言巴比伦的罪恶与审判
47 巴比伦的处女啊!
你下来,坐在尘土中吧!
迦勒底的女儿啊!
你坐在地上吧!没有宝座了,
因为你必不再被称为柔弱娇嫩的了。
2 你要拿石磨去磨面,
你要揭开你的帕子,脱去长裙,
露出大腿,渡过江河。
3 你的下体必暴露出来,
你的羞耻要被人看见;
我必报仇,不顾惜任何人。
4 我们的救赎主,他的名字是万军之耶和华、
以色列的圣者,他说:
5 “迦勒底的女子啊!
你要静静坐下,进到黑暗中去,
因为人不再称你为列国之后了。
6 我曾对我的子民发怒,
使我的产业被亵渎,
我把他们交在你的手里,
你却对他们毫无怜悯。
你竟把你的轭,重重压在老年人的身上。
7 你曾说:‘我必永远作王后!’
所以你不把这些事放在心上,
也不思想这事的结局。
8 因此,你这淫逸、安居的,
现在要听这话。
你曾心里说:
‘只有我,除我以外再没有别的;
我必不会寡居,
也不会经历丧子的事。’
9 不料丧子和寡居这两件事,
竟在忽然之间,一日之内,要临到你身上!
正在你多行邪术,
竭力施符咒的时候,
这两件事就必都临到你身上。
10 你向来倚靠自己的邪恶,
说:‘没有人看见我’;
你的智慧和知识把你引入了歧途。
你心里说:
‘只有我,除了我以外,再没有别的。’
11 但灾祸必临到你身上,
你却不知道它的来源;
祸患必落在你身上,
你却不能把它除去;
毁灭必忽然临到你身上,
你却不知道。
12 继续使用你从幼年时就劳碌
施行的符咒
和许多的邪术吧!
或者你可以得到益处,
也许你能叫人战栗。
13 你因你许多的计划而劳累;
现在让那些划分天象的,
观看星辰的,
在月朔时说预言的,
都站起来,拯救你脱离要临到你身上的事。
14 看哪!他们必像碎秸,
火必要焚烧他们;
他们不能救自己脱离火焰的威力;
这不是可以烤火取暖的火炭,
也不是可以坐在它面前的火。
15 你所劳碌的事,都要这样与你无益;
从你年幼时与你交易的,
也都必各奔各方,四处飘流,
没有人拯救你。”
Isaiah 47
New International Version
The Fall of Babylon
47 “Go down, sit in the dust,(A)
Virgin Daughter(B) Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne,
queen city of the Babylonians.[a](C)
No more will you be called
tender or delicate.(D)
2 Take millstones(E) and grind(F) flour;
take off your veil.(G)
Lift up your skirts,(H) bare your legs,
and wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness(I) will be exposed
and your shame(J) uncovered.
I will take vengeance;(K)
I will spare no one.(L)”
5 “Sit in silence,(Q) go into darkness,(R)
queen city of the Babylonians;(S)
no more will you be called
queen(T) of kingdoms.(U)
6 I was angry(V) with my people
and desecrated my inheritance;(W)
I gave them into your hand,(X)
and you showed them no mercy.(Y)
Even on the aged
you laid a very heavy yoke.
7 You said, ‘I am forever(Z)—
the eternal queen!’(AA)
But you did not consider these things
or reflect(AB) on what might happen.(AC)
8 “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure,
lounging in your security(AD)
and saying to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.(AE)
I will never be a widow(AF)
or suffer the loss of children.’
9 Both of these will overtake you
in a moment,(AG) on a single day:
loss of children(AH) and widowhood.(AI)
They will come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries(AJ)
and all your potent spells.(AK)
10 You have trusted(AL) in your wickedness
and have said, ‘No one sees me.’(AM)
Your wisdom(AN) and knowledge mislead(AO) you
when you say to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11 Disaster(AP) will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly(AQ) come upon you.
12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(AR)
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(AS)
Let your astrologers(AT) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(AU) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(AV)
the fire(AW) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(AX)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
15 That is all they are to you—
these you have dealt with
and labored(AY) with since childhood.
All of them go on in their error;
there is not one that can save(AZ) you.

- Isaiah 47:1 Or Chaldeans; also in verse 5
Isaiah 47
King James Version
47 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
4 As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
