耶路撒冷和列国

14 看哪,耶和华的日子临近了,你的财物必被抢掠,在你中间被瓜分。 我要招聚万国与耶路撒冷争战;城必被攻取,房屋被抢夺,妇女被玷污,城中的一半被掳去;但其余的百姓不会从城中被剪除。 那时,耶和华要出去与那些国家打仗,如同从前战争的日子打仗一样。 那日,他的脚必站在橄榄山上,这山面向耶路撒冷的东边。橄榄山必从中间裂开,自东至西成为极大的谷;山的一半向北挪移,一半向南挪移。 你们要从我的山谷中逃跑,因为山谷必延到亚萨。你们要逃跑,如在犹大乌西雅年间逃避大地震一样[a]。耶和华—我的 神必降临,所有的圣者与你[b]同来。

在那日,必没有光,不会放晴,只有乌云[c] 耶和华所知的那一日,没有白天,没有黑夜,到了晚上仍有亮光。

在那日,必有活水从耶路撒冷出来,一半往东海流,一半往西海流;冬夏都是如此。

耶和华要作全地的王。那日,耶和华必为独一无二,他的名也是独一无二。 10 迦巴直到耶路撒冷南方的临门,全地要变为旷野。耶路撒冷要矗立于本处,从便雅悯门旧门,又到角门,并从哈楠业楼,直到王的酒池。 11 人要住在其中,不再有诅咒;耶路撒冷必安然屹立。

12 这是耶和华所降的灾殃,要攻击那些与耶路撒冷作战的万民;他们两脚站立时,肉要溃烂,眼在眶中溃烂,舌在口中也溃烂。 13 那日,耶和华必使他们大大混乱。他们彼此用手揪住,用手互相攻击。 14 犹大也要在耶路撒冷打仗[d]。那时四围各国的财物,就是许许多多的金银和衣服,必被收聚。 15 马匹、骡子、骆驼、驴和营中一切的牲畜所遭的灾殃与那灾殃一样。

16 上来攻击耶路撒冷的列国中所有剩下的人,要年年上来敬拜大君王—万军之耶和华,并守住棚节。 17 地上万族中,凡不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王—万军之耶和华的,雨必不降在他们的地上。 18 埃及族若不上来,雨必不降在他们的地上;凡不上来守住棚节的列国,耶和华必用这灾攻击他们。 19 这就是埃及的惩罚和那些不上来守住棚节之列国的惩罚。

20 在那日,马的铃铛上要刻上“归耶和华为圣”。耶和华殿内的锅必如祭坛前的碗一样。 21 耶路撒冷犹大一切的锅都必归万军之耶和华为圣。凡献祭的都必来取这锅,在其中煮肉。当那日,在万军之耶和华的殿中必不再有做买卖的人[e]

耶和華的日子

14 看啊,耶和華的日子快到了,那時你那裡的財物必被搶掠、瓜分。 因為我必招聚萬國去攻打耶路撒冷。那時,城必失守,房屋必被洗劫,婦女必被玷污。半城的人必被擄去,剩下的人必留在城中,不會被剷除。 那時,耶和華必出來與列國爭戰,像從前爭戰的日子一樣。 到那天,祂的腳必踏在耶路撒冷東面的橄欖山上,這山必從東至西分成兩半,一半向北移,一半向南移,中間形成極大的山谷。 你們要從我的這山谷逃跑,因為山谷必延伸到亞薩。你們必像猶大王烏西雅年間的人躲避大地震一樣逃跑。我的上帝耶和華必帶著所有的聖者降臨。 到那天,將沒有光、嚴寒和冰霜。 那將是奇特的日子,沒有晝夜之分,晚上仍然有光,只有上帝知道那日何時來臨。

到那天,必有活水從耶路撒冷湧出,一半流向死海,一半流向地中海,冬夏不變。 耶和華必做普世的王。到那天,必唯祂獨尊,唯祂的名獨尊。 10 從迦巴直到耶路撒冷南邊的臨門,整個地區都要變為平原。從便雅憫門到舊門,再到角門,從哈楠業樓到王的榨酒池——耶路撒冷必仍然矗立在原處。 11 城內必有人居住,不再遭毀滅的咒詛。耶路撒冷必安享太平。

12 耶和華必降瘟疫給攻打耶路撒冷的列邦,使他們活著的時候皮肉已經腐爛,眼睛在眼眶中腐爛,舌頭在口中腐爛。 13 到那天,耶和華必使他們慌亂不堪,彼此揪住,互相毆打。 14 猶大也必在耶路撒冷爭戰,四圍列國的財物——大量的金銀和衣服必被收聚起來。 15 同樣的瘟疫也必降在馬匹、騾子、駱駝、驢和營中的其他牲畜身上。

16 前來攻打耶路撒冷的列國中的倖存者,必每年上來敬拜大君王——萬軍之耶和華,並且守住棚節。 17 地上萬族中若有人不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王——萬軍之耶和華,他們必沒有雨水。 18 埃及人若不上來敬拜,也必沒有雨水,耶和華必使他們和不上來守住棚節的列國一樣遭受瘟疫。 19 這將是埃及和不上來守住棚節的列國所得的懲罰。 20 到那天,馬鈴上也必刻上「獻給耶和華」的字樣。耶和華殿內的鍋必像祭壇前的碗一樣聖潔。 21 耶路撒冷和猶大的鍋都是萬軍之耶和華的聖物,來獻祭的人都可以用這些鍋煮祭肉。到那天,萬軍之耶和華的殿中必再也沒有商人。

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 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.

11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

The Lord Comes and Reigns

14 A day of the Lord(A) is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions(B) will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.

I will gather all the nations(C) to Jerusalem to fight against it;(D) the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.(E) Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.(F) Then the Lord will go out and fight(G) against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.(H) On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,(I) east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split(J) in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[a](K) in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come,(L) and all the holy ones with him.(M)

On that day there will be neither sunlight(N) nor cold, frosty darkness. It will be a unique(O) day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night.(P) When evening comes, there will be light.(Q)

On that day living water(R) will flow(S) out from Jerusalem, half of it east(T) to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.(U)

The Lord will be king(V) over the whole earth.(W) On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.(X)

10 The whole land, from Geba(Y) to Rimmon,(Z) south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up(AA) high from the Benjamin Gate(AB) to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,(AC) and from the Tower of Hananel(AD) to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.(AE) 11 It will be inhabited;(AF) never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.(AG)

12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike(AH) all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.(AI) 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.(AJ) They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.(AK) 14 Judah(AL) too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected(AM)—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague(AN) will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors(AO) from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship(AP) the King,(AQ) the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AR) 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship(AS) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.(AT) 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[b] will bring on them the plague(AU) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AV) 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AW)

20 On that day holy to the Lord(AX) will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots(AY) in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls(AZ) in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy(BA) to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day(BB) there will no longer be a Canaanite[c](BC) in the house(BD) of the Lord Almighty.(BE)
