< 撒迦利亞書 14 >
1 看,屬上主的日子要來到,那時,人們要要你們中間分取你們的掠物。
Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, When thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 我要聚集眾異民來與耶路撒冷交戰;城池必被佔領,住宅必遭洗劫,婦女必被強姦,城中半數人要被擄去;但剩下的人民必不會由城中消滅,
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; And the city shall be taken, And the houses shall be rifled, And the women shall be 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.
3 那時,上主必要出來,像衪昔在戰爭之日作戰一樣,與這些異民交戰。
Then shall Jehovah go forth, And fight against those nations, As he once fought in the day of battle.
4 在那一天,衪的腳要要站在耶路撒冷對面,即東邊的橄欖上;橄欖必由中間裂開,由東至西形成一條很大的山谷,其中一半山向北挪移,另一半即向南移動。
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 be cloven in the middle of it, eastward and westward, Into a very great valley; And half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, And half of it toward the south.
5 希農山谷從哥亞一直到阿匝爾必要被填平,如在猶大王烏齊亞的時日,因地震曾被填平一樣;那時上主我的天主以及眾聖者,必與衪一同降來。
And ye shall flee through the valley of my mountains, For the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal; Yea, ye shall flee, as ye fled before the earthquake In the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Jehovah, my God, will come, And all his holy ones with him.
And it shall come to pass in that day That there shall he no light, but cold and ice;
7 那將是獨特的一日.只有上主知道的一天,沒有白天黑夜,夜間仍有光明。
And there shall be one day, (Known to Jehovah is it, ) It shall be neither day nor night; But at the time of evening there shall be light.
8 在那一天,必有活水從耶路撒冷流出,一半流往東海,一半流往西海;冬夏川流不息。
And it shall come to pass in that day That living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea, And half of them toward the western sea; In summer and in winter shall they be.
9 上主必做普世的君王;在那一天,只有惟一的上主,只有衪惟一的聖名。
And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth; In that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one.
10 到那一天,由革巴直到耶路撒冷南部的黎孟,整個地面都要變成平原,而耶路撒冷仍聳立在原處;由本雅明門到舊門,即角門,由哈納厏耳到君王的榨酒池,
The whole land shall be turned into a plain, From Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem; And the city shall be exalted and inhabited in her place, From the gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, And to the corner gate, And from the tower of Hananeel to the king's wine-presses.
11 仍有人居住;其中再沒有毀滅,人們將安居在耶路撒冷。
Men shall dwell therein, And there shall be no more destruction; But Jerusalem shall dwell securely.
12 那是上主用來打擊那些凡進攻耶路撒冷的民族的災難:他們的雙腳還直立時,他們的肉就已經腐爛;他們的眼珠就已經在眼窩裏腐爛;他們的舌頭就已經在口裏腐爛。
And this shall be the plague With which Jehovah will smite all the nations Which warred against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, And their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, And their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 到那一天,在他們們中必有來自上主的一場大混亂:一人抓住另一人的手,彼此動手打鬥。
And it shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a great tumult among them from Jehovah; And they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, And his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14 連猶大也要在耶路撒冷作戰,四周一切異民的財物都必被聚集起來:金子、銀子、衣服,多得不可勝數。
And Judah also shall fight against Jerusalem; But the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together, Gold and silver and apparel in great abundance.
15 同樣,戰馬、騾子、駱駝、驢和在營盤內所有的牲畜,都必遭受與這災禍同樣的災禍。
And so shall be the plague of the horse, Of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, And of every beast which shall be in those camps, Even as this plague.
16 凡曾來進攻耶路撒冷的民族中尚存的人民,必將2年年上來朝拜君王,萬軍的上主,舉行帳幕節。
And it shall be, that every one that is left Of all the nations which come against Jerusalem, Even they shall go up, from year to year, To worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, And to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 但是,凡地上各民族中,有不上耶路撒冷來朝拜君王,萬軍上主的,為他們就沒有雨露。
And it shall be that whoso will not go up, Of the families of the earth, to Jerusalem, To worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, Upon them shall be no rain.
18 如果埃及民族不上來參加,那麼上主打擊那不上來舉行帳幕節的民族所要遭受的懲罰。
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, Then not for them shall there be water. The plague shall come upon them With which Jehovah shall smite the nations Which go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 這是埃及和凡不上來舉行帳棚節的民族所要遭受的懲罰。
This shall be the punishment of Egypt, And the punishment of all the nations That come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 在那一天,馬鈴上也要刻著「祝聖與上主」;上主殿裏的鍋,也將像祭壇前的血盆那樣神聖;
In that day, upon the bells of the horses Shall be written, “Holy to Jehovah.” And the pots in the house of Jehovah Shall be as the bowls before the altar.
21 而且在耶路撒冷和猶大所有的鍋,都是祝聖與萬軍的上主的;凡願獻祭的人,必用這些鍋來煮祭肉。到那一天,在萬軍的上主的殿裏,必再沒有一個商人。
And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah Shall be holy to Jehovah of hosts; And all that sacrifice shall come, And shall take of them, and seethe therein. And there shall be no more a trader In the house of Jehovah of hosts, in that day.
