Isaiah

你們當將羊羔奉給那地掌權的，從西拉往曠野，送到錫安城（原文是女子）的山。

Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. {Sela: or, Petra: Heb. A rock}

摩押的居民（原文是女子）在亞嫩渡口，必像遊飛的鳥，如拆窩的雛。

For it shall be, {that}, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, {so} the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. {cast...: or, a nest forsaken}

求你獻謀略，行公平，使你的影子在午間如黑夜，隱藏被趕散的人，不可顯露逃民。

Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth. {Take: Heb. Bring}

求你容我這被趕散的人和你同居。至於摩押，求你作他的隱密處，脫離滅命者的面。勒索人的歸於無有，毀滅的事止息了，欺壓人的從國中除滅了，

Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. {extortioner: Heb. wringer} {the oppressors: Heb. the treaders down}

必有寶座因慈愛堅立；必有一位誠誠實實坐在其上，在大衛帳幕中施行審判，尋求公平，速行公義。

And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. {established: or, prepared}

我們聽說摩押人驕傲，是極其驕傲；聽說他狂妄、驕傲、忿怒；他誇大的話是虛空的。

We have heard of the pride of Moab; {he is} very proud: {even} of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: {but} his lies {shall} not {be} so.

因此，摩押人必為摩押哀號；人人都要哀號。你們摩押人要為吉珥哈列設的葡萄餅哀歎，極其憂傷。

Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely {they are} stricken. {mourn: or, mutter}

因為希實本的田地和西比瑪的葡萄樹都衰殘了。列國的君主折斷其上美好的枝子；這枝子長到雅謝延到曠野，嫩枝向外探出，直探過鹽海。

For the fields of Heshbon languish, {and} the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come {even} unto Jazer, they wandered {through} the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea. {stretched...: or, plucked up}

因此，我要為西比瑪的葡萄樹哀哭，與雅謝人哀哭一樣。希實本、以利亞利啊，我要以眼淚澆灌你；因為有交戰吶喊的聲音臨到你夏天的果子，並你收割的莊稼。

Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen. {the shouting...: or, the alarm is fallen upon, etc}

從肥美的田中奪去了歡喜快樂；在葡萄園裡必無歌唱，也無歡呼的聲音。踹酒的在酒醡中不得踹出酒來；我使他歡呼的聲音止息。

And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in {their} presses; I have made {their vintage} shouting to cease.

因此，我心腹為摩押哀鳴如琴；我心腸為吉珥哈列設也是如此。

Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.

摩押人朝見的時候，在高處疲乏，又到他聖所祈禱，也不蒙應允。

And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

這是耶和華從前論摩押的話。

This {is} the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.

但現在耶和華說：三年之內，照雇工的年數，摩押的榮耀與他的群眾必被藐視，餘剩的人甚少無幾。

But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant {shall be} very small {and} feeble. {feeble: or, not many}
