赛13:1 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得到关于巴比伦的默示：
赛13:1 The word of the Lord about Babylon which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.
赛13:2 你要在光秃的山上竖起旗帜，向众人扬声挥手，叫他们进入权贵的门。
赛13:2 Put up a flag on a clear mountain-top, make a loud outcry to them, give directions with the hand, so that they may go into the doors of the great ones.
赛13:3 我向我特选的军兵下了命令；我也呼召了我的勇士，就是那些骄傲自夸的人，去执行我在怒气中所要作的。
赛13:3 I have given orders to my holy ones, I have sent out my men of war, those of mine who take pride in their power, to give effect to my wrath.
赛13:4 听啊！山上有喧哗的声音，好像是众多的人民；听啊！有多国的人的嘈杂声，好像是列国聚集在一起。万军之耶和华正在数点军兵，预备打仗。
赛13:4 The noise of great numbers in the mountains, like the noise of a strong people! The noise of the kingdoms of the nations meeting together! The Lord of armies is numbering his forces for war.
赛13:5 他们从远地而来，从天边而来。就是耶和华和他恼怒的工具，要毁灭这全地。
赛13:5 They come from a far country, from the farthest part of heaven, even the Lord and the instruments of his wrath, with destruction for all the land.
赛13:6 哀号吧！因为耶和华的日子近了，这日子来到，好像毁灭从全能者那里来到一样。
赛13:6 Send out a cry of grief; for the day of the Lord is near; it comes as destruction from the Most High.
赛13:7 因此，各人的手都必发软，各人也必心惊胆战。
赛13:7 For this cause all hands will be feeble, and every heart of man be turned to water;
赛13:8 他们都要惊惶失措，疼痛与痛苦必抓住他们；他们必绞痛，像生产中的妇人一样。他们在惊愕中彼此对望，面色像火焰一般。
赛13:8 Their hearts will be full of fear; pains and sorrows will overcome them; they will be in pain like a woman in childbirth; they will be shocked at one another; their faces will be like flames.
赛13:9 看哪！耶和华的日子快来到，必有残忍、愤恨与烈怒，使这地荒凉，使其中的罪人灭绝。
赛13:9 See, the day of the Lord is coming, cruel, with wrath and burning passion: to make the land a waste, driving the sinners in it to destruction.
赛13:10 天上的星星和众星座不再发光；太阳刚出来就变为黑暗，月亮也不再发光。
赛13:10 For the stars of heaven and its bright armies will not give their light: the sun will be made dark in his journey through the heaven, and the moon will keep back her light.
赛13:11 我必因世界的邪恶施行刑罚，也必因恶人的罪孽惩罚他们；我要使狂妄人的骄傲止息，使强暴人的狂傲降卑。
赛13:11 And I will send punishment on the world for its evil, and on the sinners for their wrongdoing; and I will put an end to all pride, and will make low the power of the cruel.
赛13:12 我必使人比精金还少，使人比俄斐的金更稀罕。
赛13:12 I will make men so small in number, that a man will be harder to get than gold, even the best gold of Ophir.
赛13:13 在万军之耶和华发怒的时候，就是我大发烈怒的日子，我要使天震动，大地必摇撼，离开本位。
赛13:13 For this cause the heavens will be shaking, and the earth will be moved out of its place, in the wrath of the Lord of armies, and in the day of his burning passion.
赛13:14 人必像被追猎的羚羊，又像无人招聚的羊群，各自归向本族，各自逃回本地。
赛13:14 And it will be that, like a roe in flight, and like wandering sheep, they will go every man to his people and to his land.
赛13:15 凡被追上的，必被刺死；凡被捉住的，必倒在刀下。
赛13:15 Everyone who is overtaken will have a spear put through him, and everyone who goes in flight will be put to the sword.
赛13:16 他们的婴孩必在他们眼前被摔死；他们的房屋必被抢掠，他们的妻子必被污辱。
赛13:16 Their young children will be broken up before their eyes; their goods will be taken away, and their wives made the property of others.
赛13:17 看哪！我要激动玛代人来攻击他们。玛代人不重视银子，也不喜爱金子。
赛13:17 See, I am driving the Medes against them, who put no value on silver and have no pleasure in gold.
赛13:18 他们的弓箭必射倒年轻人，他们不怜悯妇人腹中的婴儿；他们的眼也不顾惜小孩。
赛13:18 In their hands are bows and spears; they are cruel, violently putting the young men to death, and crushing the young women; they have no pity for children, and no mercy for the fruit of the body.
赛13:19 巴比伦本是列国中的华美，是迦勒底人引以为傲的荣耀，必像 神倾覆的所多玛、蛾摩拉一样。
赛13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beautiful town which is the pride of the Chaldaeans, will be like God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
赛13:20 那地必永远没有居民，世世代代无人居住；阿拉伯人不在那里搭帐幕；牧羊人也不领羊群躺卧在那里。
赛13:20 People will never be living in it again, and it will have no more men from generation to generation: the Arab will not put up his tent there; and those who keep sheep will not make it a resting-place for their flocks.
赛13:21 躺卧在那里的，只有旷野的走兽；充满着他们房屋的，只有吼叫着的野兽；鸵鸟住在那里，野山羊在那里跳跃。
赛13:21 But the beasts of the waste land will have their holes there; and the houses will be full of crying jackals, and ostriches will have their place there, and evil spirits will be dancing there.
赛13:22 豺狼必在巴比伦的宫中呼号，野狗必在他们华美的殿里吠叫。巴比伦受罚的时候临近了，它的日子必不长久。
赛13:22 And wolves will be answering one another in their towers, and jackals in their houses of pleasure: her time is near, and her days of power will quickly be ended.
