赛16:1 你们要把羊羔送给那地的掌权者，从西拉经过旷野，送到锡安居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）的山。
赛16:1 And they will send ... to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
赛16:2 摩押的居民在亚嫩渡口，像游荡的飞鸟，又像被赶出巢窝的鸟儿。
赛16:2 For the daughters of Moab will be like wandering birds, like a place from which the young birds have gone in flight, at the ways across the Arnon.
赛16:3 “求你给我们献谋略，作裁判！使你的影子在午间如同黑夜，把被赶逐的人隐藏起来，不可出卖逃亡的人。
赛16:3 Give wise directions, make a decision; let your shade be as night in full day: keep safe those who are in flight; do not give up the wandering ones.
赛16:4 让摩押那些被赶逐的人与你同住，求你作他们的隐密处，使他们脱离毁灭者的面。勒索人的必要终止，毁灭人的也将止息，欺压人的必从这地灭绝；
赛16:4 Let those who have been forced out of Moab have a resting-place with you; be a cover to them from him who is making waste their land: till the cruel ones are cut off, and wasting has come to an end, and those who take pleasure in crushing the poor are gone from the land.
赛16:5 必有一个宝座在慈爱中建立；必有一位凭信实坐在上面，就是在大卫的帐棚里；他必施行审判，寻求公平，并且迅速行公义。”
赛16:5 Then a king's seat will be based on mercy, and one will be seated on it in the tent of David for ever; judging uprightly, and quick to do righteousness.
赛16:6 我们听说过摩押的骄傲，十分骄傲；也听说过它的狂妄、骄傲和忿怒，它那浮夸的话都是虚假。
赛16:6 We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride and passion: his high words about himself are false.
赛16:7 因此，摩押人必哀哭，各人一同为摩押哀哭，摩押人又要为吉珥．哈列设的葡萄饼哀叹忧伤。
赛16:7 For this cause everyone in Moab will give cries of grief for Moab: crushed to the earth, they will be weeping for the men of Kir-hareseth.
赛16:8 因为希实本的田地和西比玛的葡萄树都衰残了，它们美好的枝子曾醉倒了列国的君主。它的嫩枝直达雅谢，蔓延到旷野，又向外伸展，越过盐海。
赛16:8 For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea.
赛16:9 因此，我要为西比玛的葡萄树哀哭，像雅谢人的哀哭一样。希实本和以利亚利啊！我要用眼泪浸透你；因为有吶喊的声音临到你夏天的果子和你收割的庄稼。
赛16:9 For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;
赛16:10 欢喜快乐都从肥美的田地中被取去了；葡萄园里必再没有歌唱，也没有欢呼；踹酒的不能在榨酒池里踹出酒来；我止息了欢呼的声音！
赛16:10 And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped.
赛16:11 因此，我的心肠为摩押哀鸣，有如琴瑟；我的肺腑也为吉珥．哈列设哀哭。
赛16:11 For this cause the cords of my heart are sounding for Moab, and I am full of sorrow for Kir-heres.
赛16:12 到那时，摩押人虽朝见他们的神，虽在高处弄得疲乏不堪，又到他们的圣所去祷告，却总不得亨通。
赛16:12 And when Moab goes up to the high place, and makes prayer in the house of his god, it will have no effect.
赛16:13 以上是耶和华从前论到摩押所说的话。
赛16:13 This is the word which the Lord said about Moab in the past.
赛16:14 但现在耶和华宣告说：“三年之内，按照雇工的年数，摩押的荣耀和他所有的群众，都必被藐视；余下的人必稀少，微不足道。”
赛16:14 But now the Lord has said, In three years, the years of a servant working for payment, the glory of Moab, all that great people, will be turned to shame, and the rest of Moab will be very small and without honour.
