关于巴比伦的预言

21 关于海旁旷野的默示:

有敌人从旷野,从可怕之地而来,

好象南地的暴风猛烈扫过一般。

我被指示去看一个惨酷的异象:

那行诡诈的仍然行诡诈,那行破坏的仍然行破坏。

以拦哪,上去吧!玛代啊,围攻吧!

我要使一切叹息止住。

因此,我满腰疼痛,

痛苦抓住我,好象产妇的痛苦一样;

我绞痛弯腰至听不见,我惊惶至看不到。

我的心迷糊,惊恐威吓着我;

我所爱慕的黄昏,竟使我战兢。

他们摆设筵席,铺张地毡,又吃又喝。

领袖们,起来吧!用油抹净盾牌。

因为主这样对我说:

“你去设立守望的,叫他把所看见的报告出来。

他一看见骑兵一对一对而来,

又有驴队和骆驼队,

他就要留意,非常留意。”

后来,守望者(按照《马索拉文本》,“守望者”作“狮子”;现参照《死海古卷》和叙利亚文古译本翻译)喊叫着说:

“主啊!我每日不断站在守望楼上,

每夜立在我守望的岗位中。

看哪!有一队骑兵来了,马兵一对一对而来。”

又有人答话说:“倾倒了,巴比伦倾倒了!

它所有雕刻的神像都被打碎在地上了。”

10 我那被打的禾稼啊!我禾场上的谷啊!

我从万军之耶和华,以色列的 神那里听见的,

都告诉你们了。

关于以东的预言

11 关于以东(“以东”原文作“度玛”,意即寂静,在这里暗示以东的困境的)默示:

有人从西珥呼叫我说:

“守望的啊!黑夜还有多长?

守望的啊!黑夜还有多长?”

12 守望的说:

“早晨到了,黑夜也会再来;

你们若要问,就尽管问;

也可以回头再来问。”

关于阿拉伯的预言

13 关于阿拉伯的默示:

底但的商队啊!

你们必在阿拉伯的森林中住宿。

14 提玛地的居民哪!

要拿水来给那些口渴的,

拿饼来接待那些逃难的。

15 因为他们逃避了刀剑、

已出鞘的刀剑和上了弦的弓,

以及严重的战祸。

16 主对我这样说:“按照雇工的年数,一年之内,基达的一切光荣都必化为乌有。 17 弓箭手剩余的人数,就是基达人的勇士,必定很少;这是耶和华以色列的 神说的。”

God’s Message to Babylon

21 The message about the Desert by the Sea:[a]

Disaster is coming from the desert.
    It is coming like wind blowing in the south.
    It is coming from a terrible country.
I have seen a terrible vision.
    I see traitors turning against you.
    I see people taking your wealth.

Elam, attack the people!
    Media, surround the city and attack it!
    I will bring an end to the pain the city causes.

I saw those terrible things, and now I am in pain.
    My pains are like the pains of giving birth.
What I hear makes me very afraid.
    What I see causes me to shake with fear.
I am worried,
    and I am shaking with fear.
My pleasant evening
    has become a night of fear.

They set the table.
    They spread the rugs.
    They eat and drink!
Leaders, stand up.
    Prepare the shields for battle!

The Lord said to me,
“Go. Have a man be a lookout for the city.
    Have him report what he sees.
If he sees chariots and teams of horses,
    donkeys or camels,
he should pay very close attention.”

Then the lookout called out,
“My Master, each day I stand in the watchtower watching.
    Every night I have been on guard.
Look. I see a man coming in a chariot
    with a team of horses.”
The man gives back the answer,
    “Babylon has fallen. It has fallen!
All the statues of her gods
    lie broken on the ground.”

10 My people are crushed like grain on the threshing floor.
    My people, I tell you what I have heard from the Lord.
He is the Lord of heaven’s armies,
    the God of Israel.

God’s Message to Edom

11 The message about Dumah:[b]

Someone calls to me from Edom.
    He says, “Watchman, how much of the night is left?
    Watchman, how much longer will it be night?”
12 The watchman answered,
    “Morning is coming, but then night will come again.
If you have something to ask,
    then come back and ask.”

God’s Message to Arabia

13 The message about Arabia:

A group of traders from Dedan
    spent the night near some trees in Arabia.
14     They gave water to thirsty travelers.
The people of Tema gave food
    to those who were escaping.
15 They were running from swords.
    The swords were ready to kill.
They were running from bows ready to shoot.
    They were running from a hard battle.

16 This is what the Lord said to me: “In one year all the glory of the country of Kedar will be gone. (This is a year as a hired helper counts time.) 17 At that time only a few of the archers will be left. Only a few of the soldiers of Kedar will be left alive.” The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.

關於巴比倫的預言

21 關於海旁曠野的默示:

有敵人從曠野,從可怕之地而來,

好像南地的暴風猛烈掃過一般。

我被指示去看一個慘酷的異象:

那行詭詐的仍然行詭詐,那行破壞的仍然行破壞。

以攔哪,上去吧!瑪代啊,圍攻吧!

我要使一切歎息止住。

因此,我滿腰疼痛,

痛苦抓住我,好像產婦的痛苦一樣;

我絞痛彎腰至聽不見,我驚惶至看不到。

我的心迷糊,驚恐威嚇著我;

我所愛慕的黃昏,竟使我戰兢。

他們擺設筵席,鋪張地氈,又吃又喝。

領袖們,起來吧!用油抹淨盾牌。

因為主這樣對我說:

“你去設立守望的,叫他把所看見的報告出來。

他一看見騎兵一對一對而來,

又有驢隊和駱駝隊,

他就要留意,非常留意。”

後來,守望者(按照《馬索拉文本》,“守望者”作“獅子”;現參照《死海古卷》和敍利亞文古譯本翻譯)喊叫著說:

“主啊!我每日不斷站在守望樓上,

每夜立在我守望的崗位中。

看哪!有一隊騎兵來了,馬兵一對一對而來。”

又有人答話說:“傾倒了,巴比倫傾倒了!

它所有雕刻的神像都被打碎在地上了。”

10 我那被打的禾稼啊!我禾場上的穀啊!

我從萬軍之耶和華,以色列的 神那裡聽見的,

都告訴你們了。

關於以東的預言

11 關於以東(“以東”原文作“度瑪”,意即寂靜,在這裡暗示以東的困境的)默示:

有人從西珥呼叫我說:

“守望的啊!黑夜還有多長?

守望的啊!黑夜還有多長?”

12 守望的說:

“早晨到了,黑夜也會再來;

你們若要問,就儘管問;

也可以回頭再來問。”

關於阿拉伯的預言

13 關於阿拉伯的默示:

底但的商隊啊!

你們必在阿拉伯的森林中住宿。

14 提瑪地的居民哪!

要拿水來給那些口渴的,

拿餅來接待那些逃難的。

15 因為他們逃避了刀劍、

已出鞘的刀劍和上了弦的弓,

以及嚴重的戰禍。

16 主對我這樣說:“按照雇工的年數,一年之內,基達的一切光榮都必化為烏有。 17 弓箭手剩餘的人數,就是基達人的勇士,必定很少;這是耶和華以色列的 神說的。”
