< 以賽亞書 22 >

1 論異象谷的默示: 有甚麼事使你這滿城的人都上房頂呢?
The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou hast wholly gone up to the house-tops?
2 你這滿處吶喊、大有喧嘩的城, 歡樂的邑啊, 你中間被殺的並不是被刀殺, 也不是因打仗死亡。
Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain [men are] not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
3 你所有的官長一同逃跑, 都為弓箭手所捆綁。 你中間一切被找到的都一同被捆綁; 他們本是逃往遠方的。
All thy rulers have fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, [who] have fled from far.
4 所以我說:你們轉眼不看我, 我要痛哭。 不要因我眾民的毀滅, 就竭力安慰我。
Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the devastation of the daughter of my people.
5 因為主-萬軍之耶和華使「異象谷」 有潰亂、踐踏、煩擾的日子。 城被攻破, 哀聲達到山間。
For [it is] a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
6 以攔帶着箭袋, 還有坐戰車的和馬兵; 吉珥揭開盾牌。
And Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 你嘉美的谷遍滿戰車, 也有馬兵在城門前排列。
And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 他去掉猶大的遮蓋。 那日,你就仰望林庫內的軍器。
And he uncovered the coverings of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armor of the house of the forest.
9 你們看見大衛城的破口很多,便聚積下池的水,
Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye collected the waters of the lower pool.
10 又數點耶路撒冷的房屋,將房屋拆毀,修補城牆,
And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
11 又在兩道城牆中間挖一個聚水池可盛舊池的水,卻不仰望做這事的主,也不顧念從古定這事的。
Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked to its maker, neither had respect to him that fashioned it long ago.
12 當那日,主-萬軍之耶和華叫人哭泣哀號, 頭上光禿,身披麻布。
And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
13 誰知,人倒歡喜快樂, 宰牛殺羊,吃肉喝酒,說: 我們吃喝吧!因為明天要死了。
And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we shall die.
14 萬軍之耶和華親自默示我說: 這罪孽直到你們死,斷不得赦免! 這是主-萬軍之耶和華說的。
And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
15 主-萬軍之耶和華這樣說:「你去見掌銀庫的,就是家宰舍伯那,對他說:
Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, repair to this treasurer, [even] to Shebna, who [is] over the house, [and say],
16 『你在這裏做甚麼呢?有甚麼人竟在這裏鑿墳墓,就是在高處為自己鑿墳墓,在磐石中為自己鑿出安身之所?
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulcher here, [as] he that heweth him out a sepulcher on high, [and] that graveth a habitation for himself in a rock?
17 看哪,耶和華必像大有力的人,將你緊緊纏裹,竭力拋去。
Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.
18 他必將你滾成一團,拋在寬闊之地,好像拋球一樣。你這主人家的羞辱,必在那裏坐你榮耀的車,也必在那裏死亡。
With violence he will surely turn and toss thee [like] a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord's house.
19 我必趕逐你離開官職;你必從你的原位撤下。』
And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.
20 「到那日,我必召我僕人希勒家的兒子以利亞敬來,
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
21 將你的外袍給他穿上,將你的腰帶給他繫緊,將你的政權交在他手中。他必作耶路撒冷居民和猶大家的父。
And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 我必將大衛家的鑰匙放在他肩頭上。他開,無人能關;他關,無人能開。
And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 我必將他安穩,像釘子釘在堅固處;他必作為他父家榮耀的寶座。
And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
24 他父家所有的榮耀,連兒女帶子孫,都掛在他身上,好像一切小器皿,從杯子到酒瓶掛上一樣。
And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
25 萬軍之耶和華說:當那日,釘在堅固處的釘子必壓斜,被砍斷落地;掛在其上的重擔必被剪斷。因為這是耶和華說的。」
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that [was] upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
