< 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。
Lo! a day, cometh, pertaining to Yahweh, —when apportioned shall be thy spoil in thy midst;
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,
Yea I will gather together all the nations unto Jerusalem, to battle, and the city, shall be captured, and the houses, plundered, and, the women, ravished, —and half of the city, shall go forth, into exile, but, the remainder of the people, shall not be cut off out of 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 will Yahweh go forth, and fight against those nations, —just as he did in the day when he 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。
Yea his feet, shall stand, in that day, on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives, shall cleave asunder, from the midst thereof, towards the east and towards the west, an exceeding great valley, —and half of the mountain, shall give way, 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。
Then shall ye flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains, shall reach, very near, Yea, ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the earthquake, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, —Then, shall arrive, Yahweh my God, All thy holy ones, with thee!
And it shall come to pass, in that day, —that there shall be no light, the bright stars, shall be withdrawn;
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 it shall be a day by itself, The same, shall be known unto Yahweh—Not day, nor night, —But it shall come to pass, that, at evening time, 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 there shall go forth living waters out of Jerusalem, half of them unto the sea before, and half of them unto the sea behind, in summer and in winter, shall it he.
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。
So will Yahweh become king over all the earth, —In that day, shall there be one Yahweh, and, his Name, be 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,
All the land shall turn into a plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, —and shall lift herself on high and abide in her own place, from the gate of Benjamin up to the place of the first gate, up to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel up to the wine-presses of the king.
11 仍有人居住;其中再沒有毀滅,人們將安居在耶路撒冷。
So shall men dwell therein, and, utter destruction, shall not be any more, —but Jerusalem, shall abide, in security.
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 wherewith Yahweh will plague all the peoples who have made war against Jerusalem, —his flesh, shall be made to rot, while he is standing upon his feet, and, his eyes, shall rot in their sockets, and, his tongue, shall rot 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 confusion from Yahweh among them, —and they will lay hold every one upon the hand of his neighbour, and his hand, will rise up, against the hand of his neighbour;
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。
Moreover also, Judah, will fight with Jerusalem, —and 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, the mule, the camel, and the ass, and all the beasts which shall be in those camps, —like 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 come to pass, that, as for every one that is left out of all the nations that came against Jerusalem, that they shall come up, from year to year, to bow down to the king, Yahweh of hosts, and to celebrate the festival of booths.
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 come to pass that—whoso shall not come up out of the families of the earth unto Jerusalem, to bow down to the king, Yahweh of hosts, —there shall not, on them, be any 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 shall not come up, and shall not enter in, upon whom there falleth none, then shall smite them the plague wherewith Yahweh, did plague, the nations, because they came not up to celebrate the festival of booths.
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, when they come not up to celebrate the festival of booths.
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, shall there be [inscribed] upon the bells of the horses, Holy unto Yahweh, —and the caldrons in the house of Yahweh shall be like the dashing 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 caldron in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be Holy unto Yahweh of hosts, —So shall all who are offering sacrifice, come in, and take of them, and boil therein, —Neither shall there be a merchant any more in the house of Yahweh of hosts, in that day.
