赛18:1 古实河外，船只彼此碰撞，响声四起之地，有祸了！
赛18:1 Ho! land of the sounding of wings, on the other side of the rivers of Ethiopia:
赛18:2 这就是那经常差派使者，在水面上乘坐蒲草船渡海的地方。去吧！快行的使者，到那身躯高大、皮肤光滑的国去，到一个远近都为人所惧怕的民族那里去，这国是强盛和践踏人的，他们的地有河流把地分开。
赛18:2 Which sends its representatives by the sea, even in ships of papyrus on the waters. Go back quickly, O representatives, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers.
赛18:3 世上所有的居民，住在全地上的人哪！山上竖起旗帜的时候，你们要注意；号角吹响的时候，你们要聆听。
赛18:3 All you peoples of the world, and you who are living on the earth, when a flag is lifted up on the mountains, give attention; and when the horn is sounded, give ear.
赛18:4 耶和华这样对我说：“我要从我的居所安静观看，像日光中闪烁的热气，又像收割时的热气中有露水的云彩。”
赛18:4 For this is what the Lord has said to me: I will be quiet, watching from my place; like the clear heat when the sun is shining, like a mist of dew in the heat of summer.
赛18:5 因为在收割以前，花蕾开尽，花朵也成了将熟的葡萄之时，他就用镰刀削去嫩枝，又砍掉蔓延的枝子。
赛18:5 For before the time of getting in the grapes, after the opening of the bud, when the flower has become a grape ready for crushing, he will take away the small branches with knives, cutting down and taking away the wide-stretching branches.
赛18:6 它们都要撇下，给山间的鸷鸟，和地上的野兽；鸷鸟必吃它们来度过夏天，地上的百兽必吃它们来度过冬天。
赛18:6 They will be for the birds of the mountains, and for the beasts of the earth: the birds will come down on them in the summer, and the beasts of the earth in the winter.
赛18:7 到那时，这个身躯高大、皮肤光滑的国，就是远近都为人所惧怕的民族，强盛和践踏人的国，他们的地有河流把地分开，他们必把礼物带来给万军之耶和华，就是奉到锡安山，万军之耶和华立他名的地方。
赛18:7 In that time an offering will be made to the Lord of armies from a people tall and smooth, causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers, an offering taken to the place of the name of the Lord of armies, even Mount Zion.
