锡安末后必为万国的中心(A)

到末后的日子,

耶和华殿的山,

必矗立在万山之上,

高举过于万岭;

万民都要流归这山。

必有多国的人前来说:

“来吧!我们上耶和华的山,

登雅各 神的殿;

他必把他的道路指示我们,

我们也要遵行他的道;

因为教训必出于锡安。

耶和华的话要来自耶路撒冷。

世界和平

“他要在多族中施行审判,

为远方的强国断定是非。

他们必把刀剑打成犁头,

把矛枪打成镰刀;

这国不举刀攻击那国,

他们也不再学习战事。

各人都要坐在自己的葡萄树,

和无花果树下,

无人惊吓他们,

因为万军之耶和华亲口说过了。

虽然,万民各奉自己神的名行事,

我们却要永远奉耶和华我们 神的名而行。”

被掳到各处的必重归故土

耶和华说:“到那日,

我必召聚瘸腿的,

集合被赶散的,

和我所苦待的。

我必使瘸腿的作余民;

使被放逐的成为强国;

耶和华必在锡安山作王统治他们,

从现在直到永远。

你这羊群的守望楼啊!

锡安女子的俄斐勒啊!

从前的权柄,必归给你,

就是耶路撒冷女子的国权,

要归还给你。

现在你为甚么大声呼喊?

难道你们中间没有君王吗?

或是你的谋士灭亡了,

以致疼痛抓紧你,好象临产的妇人呢?

10 锡安的女子啊!

你要疼痛劬劳,

好象临产的妇人;

因为现在你要从城里出来,

住在田野,

一定要到巴比伦去;

在那里你要蒙拯救,

在那里耶和华必救赎你,

脱离仇敌的掌握。

11 现在多国的民集合起来,

攻击你,说:‘愿锡安被蹂躏,

愿我们亲眼看见锡安遭报应。’”

锡安必得最后胜利

12 但是,他们却不知道耶和华的意念,

也不明白他的谋略;

他收集他们,好象把禾捆收集到禾场一样。

13 锡安的女子啊!起来踹谷吧!

因为我必使你的角成为铁,

使你的蹄成为铜;

你必粉碎许多民族,

毁灭他们所得的不义之财,作为祭物献与耶和华,

把他们的财宝献给全地的主。

The Lord’s Reign in Zion(A)

Now (B)it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And peoples shall flow to it.
Many nations shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between many peoples,
And rebuke strong nations afar off;
They shall beat their swords into (C)plowshares,
And their spears into [a]pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
(D)Neither shall they learn war anymore.

(E)But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree,
And no one shall make them afraid;
For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
For all people walk each in the name of his god,
But (F)we will walk in the name of the Lord our God
Forever and ever.

Zion’s Future Triumph

“In that day,” says the Lord,
(G)“I will assemble the lame,
(H)I will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;
I will make the lame (I)a remnant,
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the Lord (J)will reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.
And you, O tower of the flock,
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
To you shall it come,
Even the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.”

Now why do you cry aloud?
(K)Is there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For (L)pangs have seized you like a woman in [b]labor.
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth,
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to (M)Babylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the (N)Lord will (O)redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.

11 (P)Now also many nations have gathered against you,
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye (Q)look upon Zion.”
12 But they do not know (R)the thoughts of the Lord,
Nor do they understand His counsel;
For He will gather them (S)like sheaves to the threshing floor.

13 “Arise(T) and (U)thresh, O daughter of Zion;
For I will make your horn iron,
And I will make your hooves bronze;
You shall (V)beat in pieces many peoples;
(W)I will consecrate their gain to the Lord,
And their substance to (X)the Lord of the whole earth.”
