旧约--以赛亚书(Isaiah)--第 16 章
16:1 你们当将羊羔奉给那地掌权的，从西拉往旷野，送到锡安城的山。（城原文作女子）
Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
16:2 摩押的居民，（居民原文作女子）在亚嫩渡口，必像游飞的鸟，如拆窝的雏。
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.
16:3 求你献谋略，行公平，使你的影子在午间如黑夜，隐藏被赶散的人，不可显露逃民。
Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
16:4 求你容我这被赶散的人和你同居。至于摩押，求你作他的隐密处脱离灭命者的面。勒索人的归于无有，毁灭的事止息了，欺压人的从国中除灭了。
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.
16:5 必有宝座因慈爱坚立。必有一位诚诚实实坐在其上，在大卫胀幕中施行审判，寻求公平，速行公义。
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.
16:6 我们听说摩押人骄傲，是极其骄傲，听说他狂妄，骄傲，忿怒，他夸大的话，是虚空的。
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.
16:7 因此，摩押人必为摩押哀号，人人都要哀号。你们摩押人要为吉珥哈列设的葡萄饼哀叹，极其忧伤。
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.
16:8 因为希实本的田地，和西比玛的葡萄树，都衰残了。列国的君主折断其上美好的枝子。这枝子长到雅谢延到旷野。嫩枝向外探出，直探过盐海。
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.
16:9 因此，我要为西比玛的葡萄树哀哭，与雅谢人哀哭一样。希实本，以利亚利阿，我要以眼泪浇灌你。因为有交战呐喊的声音，临到你夏天的果子，并你收割的庄稼。
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.
16:10 从肥美的田中，夺去了欢喜快乐。在葡萄园里，必无歌唱，也无欢乐的声音。踹酒的在酒榨中不得踹出酒来。我使他欢呼的声音止息。
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.
16:11 因此我心腹为摩押哀呜如琴，我心肠为吉珥哈列设，也是如此。
Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.
16:12 摩押人朝见的时候，在高处疲乏，又到他圣所祈祷，也不蒙应许。
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.
16:13 这是耶和华从前论摩押的话。
This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.
16:14 但现在耶和华说，三年之内，照雇工的年数，摩押的荣耀，与他的群众，必被藐视，剩馀的人，甚少无几。
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.
