审判哈得拉与大马士革

以下是耶和华的默示:

耶和华的话临到哈得拉地,落在大马士革(世人的眼睛和以色列各支派都仰望耶和华),

又临到大马士革边界的哈马,

还有推罗、西顿,尽管她们有极大的智慧。

推罗为自己建造了堡垒,

堆积银子,多如尘沙,

积聚精金,多如街上的泥土。

看哪!主必夺去她的一切,

摧毁她海上的势力,

她必被火吞灭。

亚实基伦看见了,就必害怕;

迦萨看见了也必非常痛苦;

以革伦因失去盼望而蒙羞。

迦萨的王必灭亡,

亚实基伦必不再有人居住。

混杂的种族(“混杂的种族”或译:“私生子”)必住在亚实突,

我必除掉非利士人的骄傲。

我必除去他们口中的血,

和他们牙齿间可憎之物。

余剩下来的人要归于我们的 神,

像犹大的一族;

以革伦人也必像耶布斯人一样。

我必在我的家四围安营,

不容敌军出入往来;

欺压人的不能再侵犯我的子民,

因我现在亲眼看顾他们。

要来的王

锡安的居民哪!要大大喜乐。

耶路撒冷的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)哪!应当欢呼。

看哪!你的王来到你这里了,

他是公义的,是得胜的。

他又是温柔的,他骑着驴,

骑的是小驴。

10 我必从以法莲除掉战车,

从耶路撒冷除掉战马。

争战的弓必被除掉,

他要向列国宣讲和平。

他的统治权必从这海延伸到那海,

从幼发拉底河直到地极。

 神应许复兴他的子民

11 锡安哪!至于你,因着我与你立约的血,我把你中间被囚禁的人从无水的坑里释放出来。

12 你们被囚仍有盼望的人哪!要归回保障。

今天我要宣告:我必加倍补偿给你。

13 我把犹大作我手上拉开的弓,

把以法莲作我弓上的箭。

锡安哪!我必激动你的众子,去攻击希腊的众子;

我必使你像勇士的刀剑。

14 耶和华必在他子民头上显现,

他的箭必像闪电一般射出;

主耶和华必吹起号角,

乘着南方的暴风而行。

15 万军之耶和华必护卫他们,

他们要用投石器投石吞灭和制伏敌人;

他们必喝血,并且喧嚷,像喝醉了酒一样;

他们必像献祭用的碗盛满了血,

又像祭坛的角,沾满了血。

16 到那日,耶和华他们的 神必拯救他们,

待他的子民好象羊群一样,

因为他们必像冠冕上的宝石,

闪耀在他的地上。

17 他们将是多么的善,多么的美;

五谷和新酒使少男少女生气蓬勃。

Yahweh’s Oracle Against Israel’s Enemies

The [a]oracle of the word of Yahweh is against the land of Hadrach, with (A)Damascus as its resting place (for the eyes of men, especially of all the tribes of Israel, are toward Yahweh),

And (B)Hamath also, which borders on it;
(C)And Tyre and (D)Sidon, [b]because [c]they are (E)very wise.
So Tyre built herself a (F)tight fortification
And (G)tied up silver like dust
And (H)fine gold like the mire of the streets.
Behold, the Lord will (I)dispossess her
And strike her wealth down into the sea;
And she will be (J)consumed with fire.
Ashkelon will see it and be afraid.
Gaza too will writhe in great pain;
Also Ekron, for her hope has been put to shame.
Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
And those of illegitimate birth will inhabit (K)Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
And I will remove their blood from their mouth
And their detestable things from between their teeth.
Then they also will be a remnant for our God,
And be like a [d]clan in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
But I will camp around My house [e]because of an army,
Because of (L)him who passes by and returns;
And (M)no taskmaster will pass over them anymore,
For now I have seen with My eyes.

The Coming King of Zion

(N)Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Make a loud shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your (O)king is coming to you;
He is [f](P)righteous and (Q)endowed with salvation,
[g](R)Lowly and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a [h](S)colt, the [i]foal of a pack animal.
10 I will (T)cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the (U)horse from Jerusalem;
And the (V)bow of war will be cut off.
And He will speak (W)peace to the nations;
And His (X)reign will be from sea to sea
And from the [j]River to the ends of the earth.

11 As for you also, because of the (Y)blood of your covenant,
I have set your (Z)prisoners free from the [k]waterless pit.
12 Return to the [l](AA)stronghold, O prisoners [m]who have the (AB)hope;
This very day I am declaring that I will return (AC)double to you.
13 For I will (AD)bend Judah [n]as My bow;
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will rouse up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O [o](AE)Greece;
And I will make you like a (AF)mighty man’s sword.
14 Then Yahweh will appear (AG)over them,
And His (AH)arrow will go forth like lightning;
And Lord Yahweh will blow the (AI)trumpet
And will go in the (AJ)storm winds of the south.
15 (AK)Yahweh of hosts will defend them.
And they will (AL)consume and trample on the (AM)stones of a sling;
And they will drink and (AN)roar as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial bowl,
Drenched like the (AO)corners of the altar.
16 And Yahweh their God will (AP)save them in that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are as the stones of a (AQ)crown,
[p]Sparkling in His land.
17 For what (AR)goodness and (AS)what beauty will be [q]theirs!
Grain will make the choice men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

Judgment on Israel’s Enemies

A prophecy:(A)

The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak
    and will come to rest on Damascus(B)
for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel
    are on the Lord[a]
and on Hamath(C) too, which borders on it,
    and on Tyre(D) and Sidon,(E) though they are very skillful.
Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
    she has heaped up silver like dust,
    and gold like the dirt of the streets.(F)
But the Lord will take away her possessions
    and destroy(G) her power on the sea,
    and she will be consumed by fire.(H)
Ashkelon(I) will see it and fear;
    Gaza will writhe in agony,
    and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
    and Ashkelon will be deserted.
A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
    and I will put an end(J) to the pride of the Philistines.
I will take the blood from their mouths,
    the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God(K)
    and become a clan in Judah,
    and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.(L)
But I will encamp(M) at my temple
    to guard it against marauding forces.(N)
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
    for now I am keeping watch.(O)

The Coming of Zion’s King

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!(P)
    Shout,(Q) Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,(R)
    righteous and victorious,(S)
lowly and riding on a donkey,(T)
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.(U)
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
    and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
    and the battle bow will be broken.(V)
He will proclaim peace(W) to the nations.
    His rule will extend from sea to sea
    and from the River[b] to the ends of the earth.(X)
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant(Y) with you,
    I will free your prisoners(Z) from the waterless pit.(AA)
12 Return to your fortress,(AB) you prisoners of hope;
    even now I announce that I will restore twice(AC) as much to you.
13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow(AD)
    and fill it with Ephraim.(AE)
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
    against your sons, Greece,(AF)
    and make you like a warrior’s sword.(AG)

The Lord Will Appear

14 Then the Lord will appear over them;(AH)
    his arrow will flash like lightning.(AI)
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;(AJ)
    he will march in the storms(AK) of the south,
15     and the Lord Almighty will shield(AL) them.
They will destroy
    and overcome with slingstones.(AM)
They will drink and roar as with wine;(AN)
    they will be full like a bowl(AO)
    used for sprinkling[c] the corners(AP) of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day(AQ)
    as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
    like jewels in a crown.(AR)
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
    Grain will make the young men thrive,
    and new wine the young women.
