論海旁曠野的默示

¹論海旁曠野的默示：有仇敵從曠野，從可怕之地而來，好像南方的旋風，猛然掃過。This is the burden against the Desert by the Sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping through the Negev, an invader comes from the desert, from a land of terror.

²令人悽慘的異象已默示於我。詭詐的行詭詐，毀滅的行毀滅。以攔哪，你要上去！米底亞啊，你要圍困！主說：我使一切歎息止住。A dire vision is declared to me: “The traitor still betrays, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, O Elam! Lay siege, O Media! I will put an end to all her groaning.”

³所以，我滿腰疼痛；痛苦將我抓住，好像產難的婦人一樣。我疼痛甚至不能聽；我驚惶甚至不能看。Therefore my body is filled with anguish. Pain grips me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am bewildered to hear, I am dismayed to see.

⁴我心慌張，驚恐威嚇我。我所羨慕的黃昏，變為我的戰兢。My heart falters; fear makes me tremble. The twilight I desired has turned to horror.

⁵他們擺設筵席，派人守望，又吃，又喝。首領啊，你們起來，用油抹盾牌。They prepare a table, they lay out a carpet, they eat, they drink! Rise up, O princes, oil the shields!

巴比倫傾倒了

⁶主對我如此說：你去設立守望的，使他將所看見的述說。For this is what the Lord says to me: “Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.

⁷他看見軍隊，就是騎馬的一對一對地來，又看見驢隊，駱駝隊，就要側耳細聽。When he sees chariots with teams of horsemen, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, he must be alert, fully alert.”

⁸他像獅子吼叫，說：主啊，我白日常站在望樓上，整夜立在我守望所。Then the lookout shouted: “Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; night after night I stay at my post.

⁹看哪，有一隊軍兵騎著馬，一對一對地來。他就說：巴比倫傾倒了！傾倒了！他一切雕刻的神像都打碎於地。Look, here come the riders, horsemen in pairs.” And one answered, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon! All the images of her gods lie shattered on the ground!”

¹⁰我被打的禾稼，我場上的穀啊，我從萬軍之耶和華─以色列的　神那裡所聽見的，都告訴你們了。O my people, crushed on the threshing floor, I tell you what I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel.

論度瑪：夜裡如何

¹¹論度瑪的默示：有人聲從西珥呼問我說：守望的啊，夜裡如何？守望的啊，夜裡如何？This is the burden against Dumah: One calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?”

¹²守望的說：早晨將到，黑夜也來。你們若要問就可以問，可以回頭再來。The watchman replies, “Morning has come, but also the night. If you would inquire, then inquire. Come back yet again.”

論阿拉伯

¹³論阿拉伯的默示：底但結伴的客旅啊，你們必在阿拉伯的樹林中住宿。This is the burden against Arabia: In the thickets of Arabia you must lodge, O caravans of Dedanites.

¹⁴提瑪地的居民拿水來，送給口渴的，拿餅來迎接逃避的。Bring water for the thirsty, O dwellers of Tema; meet the refugees with food.

¹⁵因為他們逃避刀劍和出了鞘的刀，並上了弦的弓與刀兵的重災。For they flee from the sword—the sword that is drawn—from the bow that is bent, and from the stress of battle.

¹⁶主對我這樣說：「一年之內，照雇工的年數，基達的一切榮耀必歸於無有。For this is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker would count it, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.

¹⁷弓箭手所餘剩的，就是基達人的勇士，必然稀少，因為這是耶和華─以色列的　神說的。」The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.

論異象谷

¹論異象谷的默示：有甚麼事使你這滿城的人都上房頂呢？This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,

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。O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed 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 your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.

⁴所以我說：你們轉眼不看我，我要痛哭。不要因我眾民（原文是民女）的毀滅，就竭力安慰我。Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction 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 the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision—of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.

⁶以攔帶著箭袋，還有坐戰車的和馬兵；吉珥揭開盾牌。Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.

⁷你嘉美的谷遍滿戰車，也有馬兵在城門前排列。Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.

只顧備戰，不仰望主

⁸他去掉猶大的遮蓋。那日，你就仰望林庫內的軍器。He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in 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，You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.

¹⁰又數點耶路撒冷的房屋，將房屋拆毀，修補城牆，You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen 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。You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.

我們吃喝吧

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。On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of 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。But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we 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。The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,” says the Lord GOD of Hosts.

責備家宰舍伯那

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：This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:

¹⁶『你在這裡做甚麼呢？有甚麼人竟在這裡鑿墳墓，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 are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?

¹⁷看哪，耶和華必像大有力的人，將你緊緊纏裹，竭力拋去。Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,

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，必在那裡坐你榮耀的車，也必在那裡死亡。roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.

¹⁹我必趕逐你離開官職；你必從你的原位撤下。』I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.

以利亞敬得大衛家的鑰匙

²⁰「到那日，我必召我僕人希勒家的兒子以利亞敬來，On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim 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。I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers 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。I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can 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。I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.

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。So they will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.

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, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.

論泰爾的默示

¹論泰爾的默示：他施的船隻都要哀號；因為泰爾變為荒場，甚至沒有房屋，沒有可進之路。這消息是從基提地得來的。This is the burden against Tyre: Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or harbor. Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.

²沿海的居民，就是素來靠航海西頓的商家得豐盛的，你們當靜默無言。Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, whose traders have crossed the sea.

³在大水之上，西曷的糧食、尼羅河的莊稼是泰爾的進項；她作列國的大碼頭。On the great waters came the grain of Shihor; the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre; she was the merchant of the nations.

⁴西頓哪，你當慚愧；因為大海說，就是海中的保障說：我沒有劬勞，也沒有生產，沒有養育男子，也沒有撫養童女。Be ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: “I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”

⁵這風聲傳到埃及；埃及人為泰爾的風聲極其疼痛。When the report reaches Egypt, they will writhe in agony over the news of Tyre.

⁶泰爾人哪，你們當過到他施去；沿海的居民哪，你們都當哀號。Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coastland!

⁷這是你們歡樂的城，從上古而有的嗎？其中的居民往遠方寄居。Is this your jubilant city, whose origin is from antiquity, whose feet have taken her to settle far away?

是萬軍之耶和華所定的

⁸泰爾本是賜冠冕的。她的商家是王子；她的買賣人是世上的尊貴人。遭遇如此是誰定的呢？Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are renowned on the earth?

⁹是萬軍之耶和華所定的！為要污辱一切高傲的榮耀，使地上一切的尊貴人被藐視。The LORD of Hosts planned it, to defile all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the renowned of the earth.

¹⁰他施的民（原文是女）哪，可以流行你的地，好像尼羅河；不再有腰帶拘緊你。Cultivate your land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.

¹¹耶和華已經向海伸手，震動列國。至於迦南，他已經吩咐拆毀其中的保障。The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.

¹²他又說：受欺壓西頓的居民（原文是處女）哪，你必不得再歡樂。起來！過到基提去；就是在那裡也不得安歇。He said, “You shall rejoice no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus—even there you will find no rest.”

¹³（看哪，迦勒底人之地向來沒有這民，這國是亞述人為住曠野的人所立的。現在他們建築戍樓，拆毀泰爾的宮殿，使她成為荒涼。）Look at the land of the Chaldeans—a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.

¹⁴他施的船隻都要哀號，因為你們的保障變為荒場。Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your harbor has been destroyed!

泰爾被忘記七十年

¹⁵到那時，泰爾必被忘記七十年，照著一王的年日。七十年後，泰爾的景況必像妓女所唱的歌：At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years—the span of a king’s life. But at the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

¹⁶你這被忘記的妓女啊，拿琴周流城內，巧彈多唱，使人再想念你。“Take up your harp, stroll through the city, O forgotten harlot. Make sweet melody, sing many a song, so you will be remembered.”

¹⁷七十年後，耶和華必眷顧泰爾，她就仍得利息（原文是雇價；下同），與地上的萬國交易（原文是行淫）。And at the end of seventy years, the LORD will restore Tyre. Then she will return to hire as a prostitute and sell herself to all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.

¹⁸她的貨財和利息要歸耶和華為聖，必不積攢存留；因為她的貨財必為住在耶和華面前的人所得，使他們吃飽，穿耐久的衣服。Yet her profits and wages will be set apart to the LORD; they will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothing.

問安

¹基督耶穌的僕人保羅和提摩太寫信給凡住腓立比、在基督耶穌裡的眾聖徒，和諸位監督，諸位執事。Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:

²願恩惠、平安從　神我們的父並主耶穌基督歸與你們！Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

為腓立比信徒感恩

³我每逢想念你們，就感謝我的　神；I thank my God every time I remember you.

⁴每逢為你們眾人祈求的時候，常是歡歡喜喜地祈求。In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,

⁵因為從頭一天直到如今，你們是同心合意地興旺福音。because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,

⁶我深信那在你們心裡動了善工的，必成全這工，直到耶穌基督的日子。being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

⁷我為你們眾人有這樣的意念，原是應當的；因你們常在我心裡，無論我是在捆鎖之中，是辯明證實福音的時候，你們都與我一同得恩。It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.

⁸我體會基督耶穌的心腸，切切地想念你們眾人；這是　神可以給我作見證的。God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

保羅的禱告

⁹我所禱告的，就是要你們的愛心在知識和各樣見識上多而又多，And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

¹⁰使你們能分別是非（或譯：喜愛那美好的事），作誠實無過的人，直到基督的日子；so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

¹¹並靠著耶穌基督結滿了仁義的果子，叫榮耀稱讚歸與　神。filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

捆鎖反使福音興旺

¹²弟兄們，我願意你們知道，我所遭遇的事更是叫福音興旺，Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.

¹³以致我受的捆鎖在御營全軍和其餘的人中，已經顯明是為基督的緣故。As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

¹⁴並且那在主裡的弟兄多半因我受的捆鎖就篤信不疑，越發放膽傳　神的道，無所懼怕。And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.

基督被傳開，我就歡喜

¹⁵有的傳基督是出於嫉妒紛爭，也有的是出於好意。It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

¹⁶這一等是出於愛心，知道我是為辯明福音設立的；The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

¹⁷那一等傳基督是出於結黨，並不誠實，意思要加增我捆鎖的苦楚。The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.

¹⁸這有何妨呢？或是假意，或是真心，無論怎樣，基督究竟被傳開了。為此，我就歡喜，並且還要歡喜；What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
