²The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in Yahweh’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

²以色列人必把他们带回自己的国土去，以色列家必在耶和华所赐的地上得着这些外族人作仆婢；也要掳掠那些掳掠过他们的，并且统治那些欺压过他们的。

³It will happen in the day that Yahweh will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,

⁶就是那在忿怒中不住击打众民、在怒气中管辖列国、毫无抑制地施行迫害的。

⁷The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.

⁷现在全地都平静安息，各人都发声欢呼。

⁸Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.”

⁸连松树和黎巴嫩的香柏树都因你欢乐，说：‘自从你躺下以后，再没有砍伐的人上来砍伐我们了。’

⁹ Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

⁹地下的阴间因你震动，并迎接你的来临；又因你而唤醒了所有曾在地上作过领袖的阴魂；又使所有曾在列国中作君王的，都离位站起来。

¹⁰They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”

¹²明亮之星、清晨之子啊！你怎么从天上坠落？你这倾覆列国的，怎么被砍倒在地上？

¹³You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!

¹³你心里曾说：‘我要升到天上，我要高举我的宝座到　神的众星之上，我要坐在聚会的山上，在北方的极处。

¹⁴I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”

¹⁵Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , to the depths of the pit.

¹⁵然而，你却被拋下阴间，落到坑中的极处。

¹⁶Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;

¹⁶那些看见你的，都必定睛看你，他们必注视着你，说：‘那使大地震动，使列国摇撼，

¹⁷who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”

¹⁷使世界如同荒野，倾覆城镇，又不释放囚犯的，就是这人吗？’

¹⁸All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.

¹⁸列国的君王都在荣耀中安睡，各在自己的坟墓里。

¹⁹But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.

¹⁹但你要从你的坟墓中被逐出，好像一根被厌弃的树枝，你被那些遭刀剑所杀的人掩盖，就是那些被拋到坑中石头那里的人。你就像一具遭人践踏的尸体。

²⁴万军之耶和华起了誓，说：“我怎样想，事就怎样成就；我怎样计划，事就怎样立定，

²⁵that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.

²⁵就是在我的地上粉碎亚述人，在我的山上践踏他们；他们所加的轭必离开以色列人，他们所加的重担必离开以色列人的肩头。”

²⁶This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

²⁶这就是对全地所定的旨意，就是向列国伸出的手。

²⁷For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”

²⁷因为万军之耶和华决定的事，谁能阻拦呢？他的手伸了出来，谁能使他收回呢？

²⁸This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.

²⁸亚哈斯王去世的那一年，有以下的默示：

²⁹Don’t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.

²⁹预言非利士地的灾祸非利士全地啊！不要因为那击打你们的杖折断了就欢喜，因为从蛇的根必生出毒蛇来，它所生的，是会飞的蛇。

³⁰The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.

³⁰最贫寒的人必有食物吃，贫乏人必安然躺卧；我必用饥荒毁灭你的根，你余剩的人，必被饥荒所杀。

³¹Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

³¹城门啊，要哀号！城镇啊，要呼叫！非利士全地啊，要战栗发软！因为有烟从北方来，在他的行伍中没有离队逃走的。

³²What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.

³²人要怎样回答外族的使者呢？要说：“耶和华建立了锡安，他子民中的困苦人必在其中避难。”
