以赛亚书 18
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
關於古實的預言
18 古實河外，船隻彼此碰撞，
響聲四起之地，有禍了！
2 這就是那經常差派使者，
在水面上乘坐蒲草船渡海的地方。
去吧！快行的使者，到那身軀高大、皮膚光滑的國去，
到一個遠近都為人所懼怕的民族那裡去，
這國是強盛和踐踏人的，
他們的地有河流把地分開。
3 世上所有的居民，住在全地上的人哪！
山上豎起旗幟的時候，你們要注意；
號角吹響的時候，你們要聆聽。
4 耶和華這樣對我說：
“我要從我的居所安靜觀看，
像日光中閃爍的熱氣，
又像收割時的熱氣中有露水的雲彩。”
5 因為在收割以前，花蕾開盡，
花朵也成了將熟的葡萄之時，
他就用鐮刀削去嫩枝，
又砍掉蔓延的枝子。
6 它們都要撇下，給山間的鷙鳥，
和地上的野獸；
鷙鳥必吃它們來度過夏天，
地上的百獸必吃它們來度過冬天。
7 到那時，這個身軀高大、皮膚光滑的民族，
就是遠近都為人所懼怕的民族，
強盛和踐踏人的國，
他們的地有河流把地分開，
他們必把禮物帶來給萬軍之耶和華，
就是奉到錫安山，萬軍之耶和華立他名的地方。
Isaiah 18
English Standard Version
An Oracle Concerning Cush
18 Ah, land of (A)whirring wings
that is beyond the rivers of (B)Cush,[a]
2 which (C)sends ambassadors by the sea,
in vessels of papyrus on the waters!
Go, you swift messengers,
to a nation (D)tall and smooth,
to a people feared near and far,
a nation (E)mighty and conquering,
whose land the rivers divide.
3 All you inhabitants of the world,
you who dwell on the earth,
when (F)a signal is raised on the mountains, look!
When a trumpet is blown, hear!
4 For thus the Lord said to me:
“I will quietly look (G)from my dwelling
like clear heat in sunshine,
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
5 (H)For before the harvest, when the blossom is over,
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks,
and the spreading branches he lops off and clears away.
6 (I)They shall all of them be left
to the birds of prey of the mountains
and to the beasts of the earth.
And the birds of prey will summer on them,
and all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
7 (J)At that time tribute will be brought to the Lord of hosts
from a people (K)tall and smooth,
from a people feared near and far,
a nation mighty and conquering,
whose land the rivers divide,
to (L)Mount Zion, the place of the (M)name of the Lord of hosts.
