Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
論異象谷的默示： 有甚麼事使你這滿城的人都上房頂呢？
2 O thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
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。
3 All thy rulers fled away together, they were bound by the archers: all that were found of thee were bound together, they fled afar off.
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。
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me, for the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
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。
5 For it is a day of discomfiture, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the LORD of hosts, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.
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。
6 And Elam bare the quiver, with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
以攔帶着箭袋， 還有坐戰車的和馬兵； 吉珥揭開盾牌。
7 And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
你嘉美的谷遍滿戰車， 也有馬兵在城門前排列。
8 And he took away the covering of Judah; and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.
他去掉猶大的遮蓋。 那日，你就仰望林庫內的軍器。
9 And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
你們看見大衛城的破口很多，便聚積下池的水，
10 and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye brake down the houses to fortify the wall.
又數點耶路撒冷的房屋，將房屋拆毀，修補城牆，
11 ye made also a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye looked not unto him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
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。
12 And in that day did the Lord, the LORD of hosts, call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
當那日，主－萬軍之耶和華叫人哭泣哀號， 頭上光禿，身披麻布。
13 and behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
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。
14 And the LORD of hosts revealed himself in mine ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
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。
15 Thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, [and say],
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：
16 What doest thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre? hewing him out a sepulchre on high, graving an habitation for himself in the rock!
『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？
17 Behold, the LORD will hurl thee away violently as a [strong] man; yea, he will wrap thee up closely.
看哪，耶和華必像大有力的人，將你緊緊纏裹，竭力拋去。
18 He will surely turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of thy lord’s house.
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。
19 And I will thrust thee from thine office, and from thy station shall he pull thee down.
我必趕逐你離開官職；你必從你的原位撤下。』
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
「到那日，我必召我僕人希勒家的兒子以利亞敬來，
21 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.
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。
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
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。
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.
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。
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.
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。
25 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the LORD hath spoken it.
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。」
