以赛亚书14:12~23
12 明亮之星,早晨之子啊,
你何竟从天坠落?
你这攻败列国的何竟被砍倒在地上?
13 你心里曾说:
我要升到天上;
我要高举我的宝座在 SHEN 众星以上;
我要坐在聚会的山上,在北方的极处。
14 我要升到高云之上;
我要与至上者同等。
15 然而,你必坠落阴间,
到坑中极深之处。
16 凡看见你的都要定睛看你,
留意看你,说:
使大地战抖,
使列国震动,
17 使世界如同荒野,
使城邑倾覆,
不释放被掳的人归家,
是这个人吗?
18 列国的君王
俱各在自己阴宅的荣耀中安睡。
19 惟独你被抛弃,
不得入你的坟墓,
好像可憎的枝子,
以被杀的人为衣,
就是被刀刺透,
坠落坑中石头那里的;
你又像被践踏的尸首一样。
20 你不得与君王同葬;
因为你败坏你的国,杀戮你的民。
恶人后裔的名,必永不提说。
21 先人既有罪孽,
就要预备杀戮他的子孙,
免得他们兴起来,得了遍地,
在世上修满城邑。
SHEN 要毁灭巴比伦
22 万军之耶/和/华说:
我必兴起攻击他们,
将巴比伦的名号和所余剩的人,
连子带孙一并剪除。
这是耶/和/华说的。
23 我必使巴比伦为箭猪所得,
又变为水池;
我要用灭亡的扫帚扫净它。
这是万军之耶/和/华说的。
12 How you have fallen from heaven,
morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
15 But you are brought down to the realm of the dead,
to the depths of the pit.
16 Those who see you stare at you,
they ponder your fate:
“Is this the man who shook the earth
and made kingdoms tremble,
17 the man who made the world a wilderness,
who overthrew its cities
and would not let his captives go home?”
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state,
each in his own tomb.
19 But you are cast out of your tomb
like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,
with those pierced by the sword,
those who descend to the stones of the pit.
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20 you will not join them in burial,
for you have destroyed your land
and killed your people.
Let the offspring of the wicked
never be mentioned again.
21 Prepare a place to slaughter his children
for the sins of their ancestors;
they are not to rise to inherit the land
and cover the earth with their cities.
22 “I will rise up against them,”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“I will wipe out Babylon’s name and survivors,
her offspring and descendants,”
declares the Lord.
23 “I will turn her into a place for owls
and into swampland;
I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,”
declares the Lord Almighty.
