Isaiah 27

1 In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent—Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.

1 到那日，耶和华必用祂无坚不摧的利剑惩罚海怪，那蜿蜒、快速爬行的蛇。祂必杀死那海中的怪物。

2 In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.

2 到那日，你们要歌颂那佳美的葡萄园。

3 I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;

3 我耶和华是看守它的， 我勤加浇灌， 昼夜守护， 不让人毁坏。

4 I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.

4 我不再发怒。 若是发现荆棘和蒺藜， 我就对付它们， 把它们烧光，

5 Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me—yes, let them make peace with Me.”

5 除非它们寻求我的庇护， 要与我和好， 要与我和好。

6 In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.

6 将来，雅各必扎根生长， 以色列必发芽开花， 果实遍地。

7 Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?

7 耶和华岂像击打以色列的敌人那样击打以色列人？ 祂岂像杀戮以色列的敌人那样杀戮以色列人？

8 By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.

8 祂与以色列人为敌， 使他们被掳， 祂驱逐他们离开本地， 在刮东风的日子，用暴风吹散他们。

9 Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.

9 雅各家的罪恶必借此得到赦免， 他们罪恶被除掉后的硕果是： 把一切祭坛的石头打得粉碎，如同石灰粉， 推倒亚舍拉神像和香坛。

10 For the fortified city lies deserted—a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.

10 坚城荒凉，居所被遗弃， 如同旷野一样杳无人烟。 牛犊在那里吃草、躺卧， 吃光树枝上的叶子。

11 When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.

11 树枝枯干断落， 妇女拿去作柴烧。 因为这是愚昧无知的民族， 所以他们的创造主必不怜悯他们， 也不向他们施恩。

12 In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.

12 以色列人啊，到那日，耶和华必从幼发拉底河到埃及小河把你们一个个召集起来，像打树拾果子一样。

13 And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

13 到那日，号角大响后，亚述地将要灭亡的以色列人和流亡到埃及的以色列人，都必来到耶路撒冷的圣山敬拜耶和华。
