葡萄園之歌

27 到那日,耶和華要施用他銳利、巨大和有力的刀,懲罰鱷魚,就是那快行的蛇;懲罰鱷魚,就是那曲行的蛇;並且要殺海中的大龍。

到那日,

有個出酒的葡萄園,你們必指著這園歌唱說:

“我耶和華是看守葡萄園的;

我時刻澆灌著它,

並且為免有人毀壞它,

我日夜都看守著。

我再沒有忿怒,

若荊棘和蒺藜與我交戰,

我就上前踐踏它們,把它們全部焚毀。

除非他們抓住我作他們的避難所,

與我和好,

與我和好。”

在將來的日子裡,雅各要扎根,

以色列要發芽開花,

他們的果實必遍布地面。

以色列民受罰

耶和華擊打以色列人,豈像擊打那些擊打他們的呢?

主殺戮以色列人,豈像殺戮那些殺戮他們的呢?

不,你只是漸漸地,藉著他們被擄與他們相爭;

在吹東風的日子,就用暴風把他們逐去。

藉此,雅各的罪孽才得赦免;

他的罪過得以除掉的條件全都在於此,

就是他叫祭壇上所有的石頭都變為破碎的灰石,

使亞舍拉和香壇不再豎立。

10 堅固的城變為淒涼,

成了被撇下、被放棄的居所,像曠野一樣;

牛犢必在那裡吃草,

在那裡躺臥,並且吃盡那裡的樹枝。

以色列民回歸

11 枝條枯乾了,就必被折斷;

婦女必來,拿去生火,

因為這人民愚昧無知,

所以他們的創造主不憐憫他們,

那造成他們的,不向他們施恩。

12 到那日,耶和華要從幼發拉底的溪流,直到埃及小河,收集他的穀物;以色列人哪!你們必一個一個被撿拾回來。 13 到那日,必有大號角吹響,那些在亞述地快要滅亡的,以及那些被趕散在埃及地的,都要前來,在耶路撒冷的聖山上敬拜耶和華。

以色列必蒙拯救

27 到那日,耶和华必用祂无坚不摧的利剑惩罚巨龙——那飞快、曲行的蛇。祂必杀死那海中的怪物。

到那日,耶和华说:
“你们要歌颂那佳美的葡萄园。
我耶和华是看守它的,
我勤加浇灌,
昼夜守护,
不让人毁坏。
我不再向它发怒。
若是发现荆棘和蒺藜,
我就对付它们,
把它们烧光。
除非它们寻求我的庇护,
与我和好,
与我和好。”

有一天,雅各必扎根生长,
以色列必发芽开花,
果实遍地。
耶和华不像击打以色列的敌人那样击打以色列人。
祂不像击杀以色列的敌人那样击杀以色列人。
祂与以色列人为敌,
使他们被掳,
驱逐他们离开本地,
用从东方刮来的暴风吹散他们。
借此,雅各家的罪恶必得到赦免,
他们罪恶被除掉后所结的果实是:
打碎假神祭坛的石头,
推倒亚舍拉神像和香坛。
10 坚城荒凉,被人遗弃,
如同旷野。
牛犊在那里吃草、躺卧,
吃光树枝上的叶子。
11 树枝枯干断落,
妇女拿去作柴烧。
因为以色列人愚昧无知,
所以他们的创造主不怜悯他们,
也不向他们施恩。

12 到那日,耶和华必把以色列人从幼发拉底河到埃及小河一个一个地召集起来,像人打树拾果子一样。 13 到那日,号角吹响后,亚述地将要灭亡的以色列人和流散到埃及的以色列人,都必来到耶路撒冷的圣山敬拜耶和华。

27 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

Israel Will Be Restored

27 In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
(A)Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay (B)the reptile that is in the sea.

The Restoration of Israel

In that day (C)sing to her,
(D)“A vineyard of [a]red wine!
(E)I, the Lord, keep it,
I water it every moment;
Lest any hurt it,
I keep it night and day.
Fury is not in Me.
Who would set (F)briers and thorns
Against Me in battle?
I would go through them,
I would burn them together.
Or let him take hold (G)of My strength,
That he may (H)make peace with Me;
And he shall make peace with Me.”

Those who come He shall cause (I)to take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.

(J)Has He struck [b]Israel as He struck those who struck him?
Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?
(K)In measure, by sending it away,
You contended with it.
(L)He removes it by His rough wind
In the day of the east wind.
Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered;
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
[c]Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.

10 Yet the fortified city will be (M)desolate,
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For (N)it is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will (O)not have mercy on them,
And (P)He who formed them will show them no favor.

12 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will thresh,
From the channel of [d]the River to the Brook of Egypt;
And you will be (Q)gathered one by one,
O you children of Israel.

13 (R)So it shall be in that day:
(S)The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of (T)Egypt,
And shall (U)worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
