耶和华的日子

14 看啊,耶和华的日子快到了,那时你那里的财物必被抢掠、瓜分。 因为我必招聚万国去攻打耶路撒冷。那时,城必失守,房屋必被洗劫,妇女必被玷污。半城的人必被掳去,剩下的人必留在城中,不会被铲除。 那时,耶和华必出来与列国争战,像从前争战的日子一样。 到那天,祂的脚必踏在耶路撒冷东面的橄榄山上,这山必从东至西分成两半,一半向北移,一半向南移,中间形成极大的山谷。 你们要从我的这山谷逃跑,因为山谷必延伸到亚萨。你们必像犹大王乌西雅年间的人躲避大地震一样逃跑。我的上帝耶和华必带着所有的圣者降临。 到那天,将没有光、严寒和冰霜。 那将是奇特的日子,没有昼夜之分,晚上仍然有光,只有上帝知道那日何时来临。

到那天,必有活水从耶路撒冷涌出,一半流向死海,一半流向地中海,冬夏不变。 耶和华必做普世的王。到那天,必唯祂独尊,唯祂的名独尊。 10 从迦巴直到耶路撒冷南边的临门,整个地区都要变为平原。从便雅悯门到旧门,再到角门,从哈楠业楼到王的榨酒池——耶路撒冷必仍然矗立在原处。 11 城内必有人居住,不再遭毁灭的咒诅。耶路撒冷必安享太平。

12 耶和华必降瘟疫给攻打耶路撒冷的列邦,使他们活着的时候皮肉已经腐烂,眼睛在眼眶中腐烂,舌头在口中腐烂。 13 到那天,耶和华必使他们慌乱不堪,彼此揪住,互相殴打。 14 犹大也必在耶路撒冷争战,四围列国的财物——大量的金银和衣服必被收聚起来。 15 同样的瘟疫也必降在马匹、骡子、骆驼、驴和营中的其他牲畜身上。

16 前来攻打耶路撒冷的列国中的幸存者,必每年上来敬拜大君王——万军之耶和华,并且守住棚节。 17 地上万族中若有人不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王——万军之耶和华,他们必没有雨水。 18 埃及人若不上来敬拜,也必没有雨水,耶和华必使他们和不上来守住棚节的列国一样遭受瘟疫。 19 这将是埃及和不上来守住棚节的列国所得的惩罚。 20 到那天,马铃上也必刻上“献给耶和华”的字样。耶和华殿内的锅必像祭坛前的碗一样圣洁。 21 耶路撒冷和犹大的锅都是万军之耶和华的圣物,来献祭的人都可以用这些锅煮祭肉。到那天,万军之耶和华的殿中必再也没有商人。

耶和华的日子

14 看哪!耶和华的日子快到,人要在你中间分取你的掠物。 因为我必招聚列国与耶路撒冷作战,城必被占领,房屋被抢掠,妇女被强奸。城中的居民必有半数被掳去,剩下的人民必不会从这城里被剪除。

那时,耶和华要出去,与那些国家作战,像他以前在战争的日子作战一样。 到那日,他的脚必站在对着耶路撒冷,在东面的橄榄山上;这橄榄山必从中间裂开,由东至西成为极大的山谷。山的一半向北挪移,一半向南挪移。 你们要经由我的山谷逃跑,因为山谷必伸展到亚萨;你们要逃跑,好象在犹大王乌西雅年间逃避大地震一样。耶和华我的 神必来临,所有的圣者都与他(“与他”《马索拉文本》作“与你”)同来。

到那日,必没有光、寒冷和严霜。 那将是独特的一天,只有耶和华知道;那天不再分白昼和黑夜,因为在晚上仍有光明。

到那日,必有活水从耶路撒冷流出来;一半流往东海,另一半流往西海;冬天夏天都是这样。

普世的王

耶和华必作全地的王;到那日,人人都承认耶和华是独一无二的,他的名也是独一无二的。

10 全地,从迦巴直到耶路撒冷南方的临门,都要变成平原;但耶路撒冷仍必屹然耸立,从便雅悯门到第一门的地方,到角门,又从哈楠业楼到王的榨酒池,都在原处。 11 城中必有人居住,必不再有毁灭的咒诅,耶路撒冷的人必安然居住。

敌国的审判与刑罚

12 这是耶和华用来击打那些与耶路撒冷争战的万族的灾疫:他们双脚仍然站地的时候,他们的肌肉必腐烂,他们的眼球必在眼眶里腐烂,他们的舌头必在口腔中腐烂。 13 到那日,耶和华必使他们大大慌乱,他们各人互相抓住对方的手,并举起手来互相攻击。 14 犹大也必在耶路撒冷争战;四围列国的财物都必被收聚起来,有极多的金子、银子和衣服。 15 照样,像这类的灾疫也必临到马匹、骡子、骆驼、驴和在营中的一切牲畜身上。

万民前来敬拜 神

16 所有前来攻击耶路撒冷的列国中剩下的人,必年年上来敬拜大君王万军之耶和华,并且守住棚节。 17 地上的万族中,凡是不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王万军之耶和华的,就必没有雨降给他们。 18 埃及族若不上来参加,就必没有雨降给他们,这就是耶和华用来击打那些不上来守住棚节的列国的灾祸。 19 这就是埃及的刑罚,也是所有不上来守住棚节的列国的惩罚。

20 到那日,马的铃铛上必有“归耶和华为圣”这句话;耶和华殿里的锅必好象祭坛前献祭用的碗一样。 21 耶路撒冷和犹大所有的锅都必归万军之耶和华为圣;献祭的,都必来取这些锅,用来煮祭肉。到那日,在万军之耶和华的殿中,必不再有商人(“商人”原文作“迦南人”)。

14 Lo, a day hath come to Jehovah, And divided hath been thy spoil in thy midst.

And I have gathered all the nations unto Jerusalem to battle, And captured hath been the city, And spoiled have been the houses, And the women are lain with, Gone forth hath half the city in a removal, And the remnant of the people are not cut off from the city.

And gone forth hath Jehovah, And He hath fought against those nations, As in the day of His fighting in a day of conflict.

And stood have His feet, in that day, On the mount of Olives, That [is] before Jerusalem eastward, And cleft hath been the mount of Olives at its midst, To the east, and to the west, a very great valley, And removed hath the half of the mount towards the north. And its half towards the south.

And ye have fled [to] the valley of My mountains, For join doth the valley of the mountains to Azal, And ye have fled as ye fled before the shaking, In the days of Uzziah king of Judah, And come in hath Jehovah my God, All holy ones [are] with Thee.

And it hath come to pass, in that day, The precious light is not, it is dense darkness,

And there hath been one day, It is known to Jehovah, not day nor night, And it hath been at evening-time -- there is light.

And it hath come to pass, in that day, Go forth do living waters from Jerusalem, Half of them unto the eastern sea, And half of them unto the western sea, In summer and in winter it is.

And Jehovah hath become king over all the land, In that day there is one Jehovah, and His name one.

10 Changed is all the land as a plain, From Gebo to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, And she hath been high, and hath dwelt in her place, Even from the gate of Benjamin To the place of the first gate, unto the front gate, And from the tower of Hananeel, Unto the wine-vats of the king.

11 And they have dwelt in her, And destruction is no more, And Jerusalem hath dwelt confidently.

12 And this is the plague with which Jehovah Doth plague all the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem, He hath consumed away its flesh, And it is standing on its feet, And its eyes are consumed in their holes, And its tongue is consumed in their mouth.

13 And it hath come to pass, in that day, A great destruction [from] Jehovah is among them, And they have seized each the hand of his neighbour, And gone up hath his hand against the hand of his neighbour.

14 And also Judah is fought with in Jerusalem, And gathered hath been the force of all the nations round about, Gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

15 And so is the plague of the horse, of the mule, Of the camel, and of the ass, And of all the cattle that are in these camps, As this plague.

16 And it hath come to pass, Every one who hath been left of all the nations, Who are coming in against Jerusalem, They have also gone up from year to year, To bow themselves to the King, Jehovah of Hosts, And to celebrate the feast of the booths.

17 And it hath come to pass, That he who doth not go up of the families of the land unto Jerusalem, To bow himself to the King, Jehovah of Hosts, Even on them there is no shower.

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, nor come in, Then not on them is the plague With which Jehovah doth plague the nations That go not up to celebrate the feast of booths.

19 This is the punishment of the sin of Egypt, And the punishment of the sin of all the nations, That go not up to celebrate the feast of booths.

20 In that day there is on bells of the horse, `Holy to Jehovah,' And the pots in the house of Jehovah Have been as bowls before the altar.

21 And every pot in Jerusalem, and in Judah, Have been holy to Jehovah of Hosts, And all those sacrificing have come in, And have taken of them, and boiled in them, And there is no merchant any more in the house of Jehovah of Hosts in that day!
