耶和華的日子

14 看哪!耶和華的日子快到,人要在你中間分取你的掠物。 因為我必招聚列國與耶路撒冷作戰,城必被佔領,房屋被搶掠,婦女被強姦。城中的居民必有半數被擄去,剩下的人民必不會從這城裡被剪除。

那時,耶和華要出去,與那些國家作戰,像他以前在戰爭的日子作戰一樣。 到那日,他的腳必站在對著耶路撒冷,在東面的橄欖山上;這橄欖山必從中間裂開,由東至西成為極大的山谷。山的一半向北挪移,一半向南挪移。 你們要經由我的山谷逃跑,因為山谷必伸展到亞薩;你們要逃跑,好像在猶大王烏西雅年間逃避大地震一樣。耶和華我的 神必來臨,所有的聖者都與他(“與他”《馬索拉文本》作“與你”)同來。

到那日,必沒有光、寒冷和嚴霜。 那將是獨特的一天,只有耶和華知道;那天不再分白晝和黑夜,因為在晚上仍有光明。

到那日,必有活水從耶路撒冷流出來;一半流往東海,另一半流往西海;冬天夏天都是這樣。

普世的王

耶和華必作全地的王;到那日,人人都承認耶和華是獨一無二的,他的名也是獨一無二的。

10 全地,從迦巴直到耶路撒冷南方的臨門,都要變成平原;但耶路撒冷仍必屹然聳立,從便雅憫門到第一門的地方,到角門,又從哈楠業樓到王的榨酒池,都在原處。 11 城中必有人居住,必不再有毀滅的咒詛,耶路撒冷的人必安然居住。

敵國的審判與刑罰

12 這是耶和華用來擊打那些與耶路撒冷爭戰的萬族的災疫:他們雙腳仍然站地的時候,他們的肌肉必腐爛,他們的眼球必在眼眶裡腐爛,他們的舌頭必在口腔中腐爛。 13 到那日,耶和華必使他們大大慌亂,他們各人互相抓住對方的手,並舉起手來互相攻擊。 14 猶大也必在耶路撒冷爭戰;四圍列國的財物都必被收聚起來,有極多的金子、銀子和衣服。 15 照樣,像這類的災疫也必臨到馬匹、騾子、駱駝、驢和在營中的一切牲畜身上。

萬民前來敬拜 神

16 所有前來攻擊耶路撒冷的列國中剩下的人,必年年上來敬拜大君王萬軍之耶和華,並且守住棚節。 17 地上的萬族中,凡是不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王萬軍之耶和華的,就必沒有雨降給他們。 18 埃及族若不上來參加,就必沒有雨降給他們,這就是耶和華用來擊打那些不上來守住棚節的列國的災禍。 19 這就是埃及的刑罰,也是所有不上來守住棚節的列國的懲罰。

20 到那日,馬的鈴鐺上必有“歸耶和華為聖”這句話;耶和華殿裡的鍋必好像祭壇前獻祭用的碗一樣。 21 耶路撒冷和猶大所有的鍋都必歸萬軍之耶和華為聖;獻祭的,都必來取這些鍋,用來煮祭肉。到那日,在萬軍之耶和華的殿中,必不再有商人(“商人”原文作“迦南人”)。

The Day of the Lord(A)

14 Behold, (B)the day of the Lord is coming,
And your [a]spoil will be divided in your midst.
For (C)I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses [b]rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then the Lord will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
And in that day His feet will stand (D)on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
(E)Making a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.

Then you shall flee through My mountain valley,
For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal.
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the (F)earthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.

(G)Thus the Lord my God will come,
And (H)all the saints with [c]You.

It shall come to pass in that day
That there will be no light;
The [d]lights will diminish.
It shall be one day
(I)Which is known to the Lord
Neither day nor night.
But at (J)evening time it shall happen
That it will be light.

And in that day it shall be
That living (K)waters shall flow from Jerusalem,
Half of them toward [e]the eastern sea
And half of them toward [f]the western sea;
In both summer and winter it shall occur.
And the Lord shall be (L)King over all the earth.
In that day it shall be—
(M)“The Lord is one,”
And His name one.

10 All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. [g]Jerusalem shall be raised up and (N)inhabited in her place from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, (O)and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.

11 The people shall dwell in it;
And (P)no longer shall there be utter destruction,
(Q)But Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

12 And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:

Their flesh shall [h]dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

13 It shall come to pass in that day
That (R)a great panic from the Lord will be among them.
Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor,
And raise (S)his hand against his neighbor’s hand;
14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem.
(T)And the wealth of all the surrounding nations
Shall be gathered together:
Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.

15 (U)Such also shall be the plague
On the horse and the mule,
On the camel and the donkey,
And on all the cattle that will be in those camps.
So shall this plague be.

The Nations Worship the King

16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall (V)go up from year to year to (W)worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep (X)the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 (Y)And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18 If the family of (Z)Egypt will not come up and enter in, (AA)they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This shall be the [i]punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

20 In that day (AB)“HOLINESS TO THE LORD” shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The (AC)pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21 Yes, [j]every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the Lord of hosts. Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no longer be a (AD)Canaanite (AE)in the house of the Lord of hosts.
