关于耶路撒冷的预言

22 以下是关于异象谷[a]的预言：

为什么你们全城的人都上到房顶呢？
2 你们这座充满喧闹、骚动和欢乐的城啊，
你们中间被杀的人既非丧身刀下，
也非死于战场。
3 你们的官长一起逃跑，
一箭未发便束手就缚，
逃到远方的也一同被擒。
4 所以，我说：“你们不要管我，
让我痛哭一场吧！
不要安慰我，
我的同胞都被毁灭了。”
5 主——万军之耶和华已经定了日子，
要使耶路撒冷饱受恐慌、
失败和混乱，
城墙被攻破，
哭喊声响彻山间。
6 以拦人带着箭袋，
率领战车和骑兵前来，
吉珥人也亮出盾牌。
7 你们佳美的山谷中布满战车，
骑兵在你们的城门前列阵。
8 犹大毫无防卫之力。

那时，你们依靠藏在林宫里的兵器。 9 你们看见大卫城破口累累，你们储存下池的水， 10 数点耶路撒冷城的房屋，把房屋拆掉修补城墙。 11 又在两道城墙之间建造新的蓄水池，用来盛旧池的水。耶和华从古时已定了这一切，要使这一切发生，但你们既不仰望祂，也不理会祂。

12 那日，万军之耶和华呼召你们哭泣哀号，
剃光头发，身披麻衣。
13 但你们还是欢喜作乐，
宰牛杀羊，喝酒吃肉，说：
“让我们吃喝吧！
因为明天我们就死了。”
14 万军之耶和华启示我说：
“你们这罪到死也得不到赦免。
这是主——万军之耶和华说的。”

15 主——万军之耶和华吩咐我去见宫廷总管舍伯那，对他说： 16 “你在这里做什么？你凭什么在这里为自己挖坟墓，在高处为自己挖坟墓，在磐石上为自己凿安息之所？ 17 看啊，你这有权有势的人，耶和华必紧紧抓住你，把你猛力抛开。 18 祂必把你揉作一团，像球一样扔到宽阔之地。在那里，你必死亡，你华美的战车也必遭毁灭，你是你主人家的羞辱。” 19 耶和华对舍伯那说：“我必解除你的官职，把你从高位上拉下来。

20 “到那日，我必召来我的仆人——希勒迦的儿子以利亚敬， 21 给他穿上你的朝服，系上你的腰带，把你的权柄交给他。他必像父亲一样保护耶路撒冷和犹大的人民。 22 我必把大卫家的钥匙交给他。他开启的，没有人能关；他关闭的，没有人能开。 23 我要使他像深嵌在坚固之处的橛子一样稳固，他必给他的家族带来尊荣。 24 他所有的亲属都靠他得荣耀，如同杯子和酒瓶等小器皿挂在一个橛子上。”

25 万军之耶和华说：“到那日，牢牢钉在坚固之处的钉子必松动，被砍落在地上，挂在上面的东西必被除掉。这是耶和华说的。”

為什麼你們全城的人都上到房頂呢？
2 你們這座充滿喧鬧、騷動和歡樂的城啊，
你們中間被殺的人既非喪身刀下，

3 你們的官長一起逃跑，

那時，你們依靠藏在林宮裡的兵器。 9 你們看見大衛城破口纍纍，你們儲存下池的水， 10 數點耶路撒冷城的房屋，把房屋拆掉修補城牆。 11 又在兩道城牆之間建造新的蓄水池，用來盛舊池的水。耶和華從古時已定了這一切，要使這一切發生，但你們既不仰望祂，也不理會祂。

20 「到那日，我必召來我的僕人——希勒迦的兒子以利亞敬， 21 給他穿上你的朝服，繫上你的腰帶，把你的權柄交給他。他必像父親一樣保護耶路撒冷和猶大的人民。 22 我必把大衛家的鑰匙交給他。他開啟的，沒有人能關；他關閉的，沒有人能開。 23 我要使他像深嵌在堅固之處的橛子一樣穩固，他必給他的家族帶來尊榮。 24 他所有的親屬都靠他得榮耀，如同杯子和酒瓶等小器皿掛在一個橛子上。」

25 萬軍之耶和華說：「到那日，牢牢釘在堅固之處的釘子必鬆動，被砍落在地上，掛在上面的東西必被除掉。這是耶和華說的。」

  1. 22·1 「異象谷」指耶路撒冷。
Close CNVT

以赛亚书 22
Chinese New Version (Traditional)

關於耶路撒冷的預言

22 關於“異象谷”的默示：

你們發生了甚麼事，以致你們都上了房頂呢？

2 你這充滿喧嘩，繁囂、

歡樂的城市啊！

你們中間被殺的，並不是被刀劍所殺，

也不是在戰場上陣亡。

3 你們所有的官長都一起逃跑；

他們因沒有弓箭而被俘擄，

你們中間所有被找到的都一起被俘擄，

雖然他們已逃到遠方去。

4 因此我說：“要轉開你們的眼，不要望著我，

讓我痛哭吧！

不要因我人民的毀滅，而急急安慰我。”

5 因為主萬軍之耶和華

使“異象谷”有驚恐、踐踏、混亂的日子：

城牆被拆毀，

哀聲傳到山上。

6 以攔拿著箭袋，

並有戰車、步兵和騎兵；

吉珥亮出盾牌。

7 你佳美的山谷都布滿戰車，

又有騎兵在城門前列陣。

8 他挪去猶大的屏障了。

到那日，你就仰望“林宮”裡的武器；

9 你們看見大衛的缺口很多，

就儲存下池的水。

10 你們又數點耶路撒冷的房屋，

把房屋拆掉，用來堅固城牆。

11 你們又在兩道城牆之間造一個水池，

用來盛載舊池的水，

你們卻不仰望作這事的主，

也不顧念遠古以來計劃這事的　神。

12 到那日，主萬軍之耶和華叫人哭泣哀號，

剃光頭髮，穿上麻布。

13 看哪！人還是歡喜快樂，

宰牛殺羊，

吃肉喝酒，說：

“我們吃喝吧！因為明天我們就要死了。”

14 萬軍之耶和華親自啟示我說：

“直到你們死的時候，

這罪孽也不得赦免。”這是主萬軍之耶和華說的。

關於舍伯那的預言

15 主萬軍之耶和華這樣說：

“你去見這掌管庫房的，

就是總管舍伯那，對他說：

16 你在這裡有甚麼權利呢？

你在這裡有甚麼人，

竟在這裡為你自己鑿墳墓，

就是在高處為自己鑿墳墓，

在磐石中為自己鑿出安身之所呢？

17 看哪，勇士啊！耶和華將要猛烈地拋擲你；

他必把你緊緊抓住，

18 把你捲了又捲，捲成球狀，

然後擲到寬闊之地；

你必死在那裡，

你那華美的戰車也在那裡；

你成了你主人之家的恥辱。

19 我必革除你的官職，

從你的原位上把你拉下來。

20 到那日，

我必召希勒家的兒子，就是我的僕人以利亞敬來，

21 我會把你的外袍給他穿，

把你的腰帶給他繫緊，

把你的權柄交在他的手中；

他要作耶路撒冷的居民和猶大家的父。

22 我必把大衛家的鑰匙放在他肩頭上；

他開了，就沒有人能關；

他關了，就沒有人能開。

23 我必堅立他，像釘子釘在穩固的地方；

他必作父家榮耀的寶座。

24 他父家所有的榮耀，他的兒女和子孫以及各樣小器皿，從碗子到瓶子，都掛在他身上。 25 萬軍之耶和華說：‘到那日，那釘在穩固地方的釘子必垂下來，被砍斷墜落；那掛在上面的擔子必被砍掉，因為這是耶和華說的。’”

Isaiah 22
New English Translation

The Lord Will Judge Jerusalem

22 This is an oracle[a] about the Valley of Vision:[b]
What is the reason[c]
that all of you go up to the rooftops?
2 The noisy city is full of raucous sounds;
the town is filled with revelry.[d]
Your slain were not cut down by the sword;
they did not die in battle.[e]
3 [f] All your leaders ran away together—
they fled to a distant place;
all your refugees[g] were captured together—
they were captured without a single arrow being shot.[h]
4 So I say:
“Don’t look at me![i]
I am weeping bitterly.
Don’t try[j] to console me
concerning the destruction of my defenseless people.”[k]
5 For the Sovereign[l] Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
has planned a day of panic, defeat, and confusion.[m]
In the Valley of Vision[n] people shout[o]
and cry out to the hill.[p]
6 The Elamites picked up the quiver,
and came with chariots and horsemen;[q]
the men of Kir[r] prepared[s] the shield.[t]
7 Your very best valleys were full of chariots;[u]
horsemen confidently took their positions[v] at the gate.
8 They[w] removed the defenses[x] of Judah.
At that time[y] you looked
for the weapons in the House of the Forest.[z]
9 You saw the many breaks
in the walls of the City of David;[aa]
you stored up water in the lower pool.
10 You counted the houses in Jerusalem,
and demolished houses so you could have material to reinforce the wall.[ab]
11 You made a reservoir between the two walls
for the water of the old pool—
but you did not trust in[ac] the one who made it;[ad]
you did not depend on[ae] the one who formed it long ago.
12 At that time the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies called for weeping and mourning,
for shaved heads and sackcloth.[af]
13 But look, there is outright celebration![ag]
You say, “Kill the ox and slaughter the sheep,
eat meat and drink wine.
Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”[ah]

14 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies told me this:[ai] “Certainly this sin will not be forgiven as long as you live,”[aj] says the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

15 This is what the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
“Go visit this administrator, Shebna, who supervises the palace,[ak] and tell him:[al]
16 ‘What right do you have to be here? What relatives do you have buried here?[am]
Why[an] do you chisel out a tomb for yourself here?
He chisels out his burial site in an elevated place,
he carves out his tomb on a cliff.
17 Look, the Lord will throw you far away,[ao] you mere man![ap]
He will wrap you up tightly.[aq]
18 He will wind you up tightly into a ball
and throw you into a wide, open land.[ar]
There you will die,
and there with you will be your impressive chariots,[as]
which bring disgrace to the house of your master.[at]
19 I will remove you from[au] your office;
you will be thrown down[av] from your position.

20 “‘At that time[aw] I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah. 21 I will put your robe on him, tie your belt around him, and transfer your authority to him.[ax] He will become a protector of[ay] the residents of Jerusalem and of the people[az] of Judah. 22 I will place the key[ba] to the house of David on his shoulder. When he opens the door, no one can close it; when he closes the door, no one can open it. 23 I will fasten him like a peg into a solid place;[bb] he will bring honor and respect to his father’s family.[bc] 24 His father’s family will gain increasing prominence because of him,[bd] including the offspring and the offshoots.[be] All the small containers, including the bowls and all the jars, will hang from this peg.’[bf]

25 “At that time,”[bg] says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “the peg fastened into a solid place will come loose. It will be cut off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off.”[bh] Indeed,[bi] the Lord has spoken.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 22:1 tn See note at Isa 13:1.
  2. Isaiah 22:1 sn The following message pertains to Jerusalem. The significance of referring to the city as the Valley of Vision is uncertain. Perhaps the Hinnom Valley is in view, but why it is associated with a prophetic revelatory “vision” is not entirely clear. Maybe the Hinnom Valley is called this because the destruction that will take place there is the focal point of this prophetic message (see v. 5).
  3. Isaiah 22:1 tn Heb “What to you, then?”
  4. Isaiah 22:2 tn Heb “the boisterous town.” The phrase is parallel to “the noisy city” in the preceding line.
  5. Isaiah 22:2 sn Apparently they died from starvation during the siege that preceded the final conquest of the city. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:409.
  6. Isaiah 22:3 tn Verse 3 reads literally, “All your leaders ran away; apart from a bow they were captured; all your found ones were captured together; to a distant place they fled.” J. N. Oswalt (Isaiah [NICOT], 1:403, n. 3) suggests that the lines of the verse are arranged chiastically; lines 1 and 4 go together, while lines 2 and 3 are parallel. To translate the lines in the order they appear in the Hebrew text is misleading to the English reader, who is likely unfamiliar with, or at least insensitive to, chiastic parallelism. Consequently, the main translation arranges the lines as follows: line 1 (Hebrew) = line 1 (in translation); line 2 (Hebrew) = line 4 (in translation); line 3 (Hebrew) = line 3 (in translation); line 4 (Hebrew) = line 2 (in translation).
  7. Isaiah 22:3 tn Heb “all your found ones.” To achieve tighter parallelism (see “your leaders”) some prefer to emend the form to אַמִּיצַיִךְ (ʾammitsayikh, “your strong ones”) or to נֶאֱמָצַיִךְ (neʾematsayikh, “your strengthened ones”).
  8. Isaiah 22:3 tn Heb “apart from [i.e., without] a bow they were captured”; cf. NAB, NRSV “without the use of a bow.”
  9. Isaiah 22:4 tn Heb “look away from me” (so KJV, ASV, NRSV).
  10. Isaiah 22:4 tn Heb “don’t hurry” (so NCV).
  11. Isaiah 22:4 tn Heb “the daughter of my people.” “Daughter” is here used metaphorically to express the speaker’s emotional attachment to his people, as well as their vulnerability and weakness.
  12. Isaiah 22:5 tn The Hebrew term translated “Sovereign” here and in vv. 12, 14, 15 is אֲדֹנָי (ʾadonay).
  13. Isaiah 22:5 tn Heb “For [there is] a day of panic, and trampling, and confusion for the master, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies [traditionally, “the Lord of hosts”].”
  14. Isaiah 22:5 tn The traditional accentuation of the Hebrew text suggests that this phrase goes with what precedes.
  15. Isaiah 22:5 tn The precise meaning of this statement is unclear. Some take קִר (qir) as “wall” and interpret the verb to mean “tear down.” However, tighter parallelism (note the reference to crying for help in the next line) is achieved if one takes both the verb and noun from a root, attested in Ugaritic and Arabic, meaning “make a sound.” See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:404, n. 5.
  16. Isaiah 22:5 sn Perhaps “the hill” refers to the temple mount.
  17. Isaiah 22:6 tn Heb “[with] the chariots of men, horsemen.”
  18. Isaiah 22:6 sn A distant region in the direction of Mesopotamia; see Amos 1:5; 9:7.
  19. Isaiah 22:6 tn Heb “Kir uncovers” (so NAB, NIV).
  20. Isaiah 22:6 sn The Elamites and men of Kir may here symbolize a fierce army from a distant land. If this oracle anticipates a Babylonian conquest of the city (see 39:5-7), then the Elamites and men of Kir are perhaps viewed here as mercenaries in the Babylonian army. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:410.
  21. Isaiah 22:7 tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
  22. Isaiah 22:7 tn Heb “taking a stand, take their stand.” The infinitive absolute emphasizes the following finite verb. The translation attempts to bring out this emphasis with the adverb “confidently.”
  23. Isaiah 22:8 tn Heb “he,” i.e., the enemy invader. NASB, by its capitalization of the pronoun, takes this to refer to the Lord.
  24. Isaiah 22:8 tn Heb “covering.”
  25. Isaiah 22:8 tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV); likewise at the beginning of v. 12.
  26. Isaiah 22:8 sn Perhaps this refers to a royal armory, or to Solomon’s “House of the Forest of Lebanon,” where weapons may have been kept (see 1 Kgs 10:16-17).
  27. Isaiah 22:9 tn Heb “the breaks of the City of David, you saw that they were many.”
  28. Isaiah 22:10 tn Heb “you demolished the houses to fortify the wall.”
  29. Isaiah 22:11 tn Heb “look at”; NAB, NRSV “did not look to.”
  30. Isaiah 22:11 tn The antecedent of the third feminine singular suffix here and in the next line is unclear. The closest feminine noun is “pool” in the first half of the verse. Perhaps this “old pool” symbolizes the entire city, which had prospered because of God’s provision and protection through the years.
  31. Isaiah 22:11 tn Heb “did not see.”
  32. Isaiah 22:12 tn Heb “for baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.” See the note at 15:2.
  33. Isaiah 22:13 tn Heb “happiness and joy.”
  34. Isaiah 22:13 tn The prophet here quotes what the fatalistic people are saying. The introductory “you say” is supplied in the translation for clarification; the concluding verb “we die” makes it clear the people are speaking. The six verbs translated as imperatives are actually infinitives absolute, functioning here as finite verbs.
  35. Isaiah 22:14 tn Heb “it was revealed in my ears [by?] the Lord of Heaven’s Armies [traditionally, “the Lord of hosts”].”
  36. Isaiah 22:14 tn Heb “Certainly this sin will not be atoned for until you die.” This does not imply that their death will bring atonement; rather it emphasizes that their sin is unpardonable. The statement has the form of an oath.
  37. Isaiah 22:15 tn Heb “who is over the house” (so ASV); NASB “who is in charge of the royal household.”
  38. Isaiah 22:15 tn The words “and tell him” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
  39. Isaiah 22:16 tn Heb “What to you here? And who to you here?” The point of the second question is not entirely clear. The interpretation reflected in the translation is based on the following context, which suggests that Shebna has no right to think of himself so highly and arrange such an extravagant burial place for himself.
  40. Isaiah 22:16 tn Heb “that you chisel out.”
  41. Isaiah 22:17 tn Heb “will throw you with a throwing.”
  42. Isaiah 22:17 tn Heb “O man” (so NASB); NAB “mortal man”; NRSV “my fellow.”
  43. Isaiah 22:17 tn Heb “and the one who wraps you [will] wrap.”
  44. Isaiah 22:18 tn Heb “and he will tightly [or “surely”] wind you [with] winding like a ball, to a land broad of hands [i.e., “sides”].”
  45. Isaiah 22:18 tn Heb “and there the chariots of your splendor.”
  46. Isaiah 22:18 sn Apparently the reference to chariots alludes to Shebna’s excessive pride, which in turn brings disgrace to the royal family.
  47. Isaiah 22:19 tn Heb “I will push you away from.”
  48. Isaiah 22:19 tn Heb “he will throw you down.” The shift from the first to third person is peculiar and abrupt, but certainly not unprecedented in Hebrew poetry. See GKC 462 §144.p. The third person may be indefinite (“one will throw you down”), in which case the passive translation is justified.
  49. Isaiah 22:20 tn Or “in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
  50. Isaiah 22:21 tn Heb “and your dominion I will place in his hand.”
  51. Isaiah 22:21 tn Heb “a father to.” The Hebrew term אָב (ʾav, “father”) is here used metaphorically of one who protects and supports those under his care and authority, like a father does his family. For another example of this metaphorical use of the word, see Job 29:16.
  52. Isaiah 22:21 tn Heb “house.”
  53. Isaiah 22:22 sn This may refer to a literal insignia worn by the chief administrator. Even so, it would still symbolize the administrator’s authority to grant or exclude access to the king. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:422.
  54. Isaiah 22:23 sn The metaphor depicts how secure his position will be.
  55. Isaiah 22:23 tn Heb “and he will become a glorious throne for the house of his father.”
  56. Isaiah 22:24 tn Heb “and all the glory of the house of his father they will hang on him.” The Lord returns to the peg metaphor of v. 23a. Eliakim’s secure position of honor will bring benefits and jobs to many others in the family.
  57. Isaiah 22:24 tn The precise meaning and derivation of this word are uncertain. Cf. KJV, ASV, NRSV “the issue”; CEV “relatives.”
  58. Isaiah 22:24 tn Heb “all the small vessels, from the vessels that are bowls to all the vessels that are jars.” The picture is that of a single peg holding the weight of all kinds of containers hung from it.
  59. Isaiah 22:25 tn Or “In that day” (KJV).
  60. Isaiah 22:25 sn Eliakim’s authority, though seemingly secure, will eventually be removed, and with it his family’s prominence.
  61. Isaiah 22:25 tn Or “for” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV).
