珥3

約珥書-Joel 第 3 章

3:1	當那些日子，我使猶大和耶路撒冷被擄之人歸回的時候， For indeed, in those days and at that time When I turn the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
3:2	我要聚集萬民，帶他們下到約沙法谷；為了我的百姓，就是我的產業以色列，我要在那裡審判他們，因為他們把我的百姓分散在列國中，又分取我的地土； I will gather all the nations And will bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there Because of My people and My inheritance Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations. And they have divided My land
3:3	且為我的百姓拈鬮，將童男換妓女，賣童女買酒喝。 And have cast lots for My people; And they have given a boy for a prostitute And sold a girl for wine to drink.
3:4	推羅、西頓、和非利士全境的人哪，你們與我何干？你們要把應得的報應回報給我麼？若回報給我，我必使報應速速歸到你們的頭上。 Indeed then, what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon And all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay Me with a recompense? But if you recompense Me, Swiftly, speedily, I will return your recompense upon your own head.
3:5	你們既然奪取我的金銀，又將我美好的寶物帶入你們廟中， In that you have taken My silver and My gold, And have brought My fine precious things into your temples,
3:6	並將猶大人和耶路撒冷人，賣給雅完人，趕逐他們遠離自己的境界； And have sold to the children of the Javanim The children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem, In order to remove them Away from their borders;
3:7	我必激動他們離開你們所賣到之地，又必使報應歸到你們的頭上。 I will rouse them out of the place To which you have sold them, And will return your recompense upon your own head.
3:8	我必將你們的兒女賣在猶大人的手中，他們必賣給遠方示巴國的人；因為耶和華已經說了。 And I will sell your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the children of Judah, And they will sell them to the Sabeans, To a nation that is far off, For Jehovah has spoken.
3:9	當在列國中宣告這話，說，要預備打仗；激動勇士；一切戰士都要近前，都要上去。 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare the battle; Rouse the mighty men; Let all the men of battle Draw near; let them go up.
3:10	要將犁頭打成刀劍，將鐮刀打成戈矛；軟弱的要說，我有勇力。 Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruning knives into spears; Let the weak say, I am mighty.
3:11	四圍的列國阿，你們要速速的來，一同聚集。耶和華阿，求你使你的大能者在那裡降臨！ Hurry and come, All you surrounding nations, And be gathered. There cause Your mighty ones to descend, O Jehovah!
3:12	列國都當興起，上到約沙法谷。因為我必坐在那裡，審判四圍的列國。 Let the nations rouse themselves and come up To the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit to judge All the surrounding nations.
3:13	伸出鐮刀罷，因為莊稼熟了；前來踐踏罷，因為酒搾滿了；酒池盈溢，因為他們的罪惡甚大。 Send forth the sickle, For the harvest is ripe; Come, tread, For the winepress is full; The wine vats overflow, For their evil is great.
3:14	許多許多的人在斷定谷；因為耶和華的日子臨近斷定谷。 Multitudes, multitudes, In the valley of decision; For the day of Jehovah has drawn near In the valley of decision.
3:15	日月昏暗，星宿無光。 The sun and the moon grow dark, And the stars withdraw their shining.
3:16	耶和華必從錫安吼叫，從耶路撒冷發聲，天地就震動。耶和華卻要作祂百姓的避難所，作以色列人的保障。 And Jehovah will roar from Zion, And from Jerusalem He will utter His voice, And the heavens and the earth will shake. But Jehovah will be a shelter to His people And a stronghold to the children of Israel.
3:17	你們就知道我是耶和華你們的神，住在錫安我的聖山。那時，耶路撒冷必成為聖，外人不再從其中經過。 Thus you will know that I am Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. And Jerusalem will be holy, And strangers will pass through her no longer.
3:18	到那日，大山要滴新酒，小山要流奶；猶大一切的溪河都有水流，必有泉源從耶和華的殿中流出來，澆灌什亭谷。 And in that day The mountains will drop down fresh wine, And the hills will flow with milk; And all the waterways of Judah Will flow with water, And a fountain will go forth from the house of Jehovah, And it will water the valley of Shittim.
3:19	埃及必然荒涼，以東變為荒涼的曠野，都因向猶大人所行的強暴，因他們在本地流了無辜人的血。 Egypt will be a desolation, And Edom will be a desolate wilderness, Because of the violence against the children of Judah, In that they have shed innocent blood in their land.
3:20	但猶大必有人居住，直到永遠；耶路撒冷必有人居住，直到萬代。 But Judah will abide forever, And Jerusalem, from generation to generation;
3:21	我未曾赦免他們流血的罪，現在我要赦免，因為耶和華住在錫安。 And I will acquit them of their bloodshed that I had not acquitted them of, For Jehovah dwells in Zion.
