要向耶和華求雨

¹當春雨的時候，你們要向發閃電的耶和華求雨。他必為眾人降下甘霖，使田園生長菜蔬。Ask the LORD for rain in springtime; the LORD makes the storm clouds, and He will give everyone showers of rain and crops in the field.

²因為，家神所言的是虛空；卜士所見的是虛假；做夢者所說的是假夢。他們白白地安慰人，所以眾人如羊流離，因無牧人就受苦。For idols speak deceit and diviners see illusions; they tell false dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore the people wander like sheep, oppressed for lack of a shepherd.

³我的怒氣向牧人發作；我必懲罰公山羊；因我─萬軍之耶和華眷顧自己的羊群，就是猶大家，必使他們如駿馬在陣上。“My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders. For the LORD of Hosts attends to His flock, the house of Judah; He will make them like His royal steed in battle.

⁴房角石、釘子、爭戰的弓，和一切掌權的都從他而出。The cornerstone will come from Judah, the tent peg from him, as well as the battle bow and every ruler together.

⁵他們必如勇士在陣上將仇敵踐踏在街上的泥土中。他們必爭戰，因為耶和華與他們同在；騎馬的也必羞愧。They will be like mighty men in battle, trampling the enemy in the mire of the streets. They will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put the horsemen to shame.

我要領他們歸回

⁶我要堅固猶大家，拯救約瑟家，要領他們歸回。我要憐恤他們；他們必像未曾棄絕的一樣，都因我是耶和華─他們的　神，我必應允他們的禱告。I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had not rejected them. For I am the LORD their God, and I will answer them.

⁷以法蓮人必如勇士；他們心中暢快如同喝酒；他們的兒女必看見而快活；他們的心必因耶和華喜樂。Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their hearts will be glad as with wine. Their children will see it and be joyful; their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.

⁸我要發嘶聲，聚集他們，因我已經救贖他們。他們的人數必加增，如從前加增一樣。I will whistle for them to gather, for I have redeemed them; and they will be as numerous as they once were.

⁹我雖然（或譯：必）播散他們在列國中，他們必在遠方記念我。他們與兒女都必存活，且得歸回。Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.

¹⁰我必再領他們出埃及地，招聚他們出亞述，領他們到基列和黎巴嫩；這地尚且不夠他們居住。I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon until no more room is found for them.

¹¹耶和華必經過苦海，擊打海浪，使尼羅河的深處都枯乾。亞述的驕傲必致卑微；埃及的權柄必然滅沒。They will pass through the sea of distress and strike the waves of the sea; all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.

¹²我必使他們倚靠我，得以堅固；一舉一動必奉我的名。這是耶和華說的。I will strengthen them in the LORD, and in His name they will walk,” declares the LORD.

黎巴嫩的香柏樹傾倒

¹黎巴嫩哪，開開你的門，任火燒滅你的香柏樹。Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume your cedars!

²松樹啊，應當哀號；因為香柏樹傾倒，佳美的樹毀壞。巴珊的橡樹啊，應當哀號，因為茂盛的樹林已經倒了。Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees are ruined! Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has been cut down!

³聽啊，有牧人哀號的聲音，因他們榮華的草場毀壞了。有少壯獅子咆哮的聲音，因約旦河旁的叢林荒廢了。Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. Listen to the roaring of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.

牧養將宰的群羊

⁴耶和華─我的　神如此說：「你─撒迦利亞要牧養這將宰的群羊。This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter,

⁵買他們的宰了他們，以自己為無罪；賣他們的說：『耶和華是應當稱頌的，因我成為富足。』牧養他們的並不憐恤他們。whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.

⁶耶和華說：『我不再憐恤這地的居民，必將這民交給各人的鄰舍和他們王的手中。他們必毀滅這地，我也不救這民脫離他們的手。』」For I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land, declares the LORD, but behold, I will cause each man to fall into the hands of his neighbor and his king, who will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from their hands.”

⁷於是，我牧養這將宰的群羊，就是群中最困苦的羊。我拿著兩根杖，一根我稱為「榮美」，一根我稱為「聯索」。這樣，我牧養了群羊。So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.

⁸一月之內，我除滅三個牧人，因為我的心厭煩他們；他們的心也憎嫌我。And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.

⁹我就說：「我不牧養你們。要死的，由他死；要喪亡的，由他喪亡；餘剩的，由他們彼此相食。」Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another’s flesh.”

¹⁰我折斷那稱為「榮美」的杖，表明我廢棄與萬民所立的約。Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.

¹¹當日就廢棄了。這樣，那些仰望我的困苦羊就知道所說的是耶和華的話。It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

三十塊錢的工價

¹²我對他們說：「你們若以為美，就給我工價。不然，就罷了！」於是他們給了三十塊錢作為我的工價。Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.

¹³耶和華吩咐我說：「要把眾人所估定美好的價值丟給窯戶。」我便將這三十塊錢，在耶和華的殿中丟給窯戶了。And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—this magnificent price at which they valued me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

¹⁴我又折斷稱為聯索的那根杖，表明我廢棄猶大與以色列弟兄的情誼。Then I cut in two my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

無用的牧人

¹⁵耶和華又吩咐我說：「你再取愚昧牧人所用的器具，And the LORD said to me: “Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

¹⁶因我要在這地興起一個牧人。他不看顧喪亡的，不尋找分散的，不醫治受傷的，也不牧養強壯的；卻要吃肥羊的肉，撕裂他的蹄子。For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will neither care for the lost, nor seek the young, nor heal the broken, nor sustain the healthy, but he will devour the flesh of the choice sheep and tear off their hooves.

¹⁷無用的牧人丟棄羊群有禍了！刀必臨到他的膀臂和右眼上。他的膀臂必全然枯乾；他的右眼也必昏暗失明。」Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!”

耶路撒冷成為令人昏醉的杯

¹耶和華論以色列的默示。鋪張諸天、建立地基、造人裡面之靈的耶和華說：This is the burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. Thus declares the LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, who forms the spirit of man within him:

²「我必使耶路撒冷被圍困的時候，向四圍列國的民成為令人昏醉的杯；這默示也論到猶大（或譯：猶大也是如此）。“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples. Judah will be besieged, as well as Jerusalem.

³那日，我必使耶路撒冷向聚集攻擊他的萬民當作一塊重石頭；凡舉起的必受重傷。On that day, when all the nations of the earth gather against her, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will be severely injured.

⁴耶和華說：到那日，我必使一切馬匹驚惶，使騎馬的顛狂。我必看顧猶大家，使列國的一切馬匹瞎眼。On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and every rider with madness. I will keep a watchful eye on the house of Judah, but I will strike with blindness all the horses of the nations.

⁵猶大的族長必心裡說：『耶路撒冷的居民倚靠萬軍之耶和華─他們的　神，就作我們的能力。』Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts: ‘The people of Jerusalem are my strength, for the LORD of Hosts is their God.’

⁶「那日，我必使猶大的族長如火盆在木柴中，又如火把在禾捆裡；他們必左右燒滅四圍列國的民。耶路撒冷人必仍住本處，就是耶路撒冷。On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among the sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and on the left, while the people of Jerusalem remain secure there.

⁷耶和華必先拯救猶大的帳棚，免得大衛家的榮耀和耶路撒冷居民的榮耀勝過猶大。The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.

⁸那日，耶和華必保護耶路撒冷的居民。他們中間軟弱的必如大衛；大衛的家必如　神，如行在他們前面之耶和華的使者。On that day the LORD will defend the people of Jerusalem, so that the weakest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD going before them.

⁹那日，我必定意滅絕來攻擊耶路撒冷各國的民。So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

仰望他們所扎的

¹⁰我必將那施恩叫人懇求的靈，澆灌大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民。他們必仰望我（或譯：他；本節同），就是他們所扎的；必為我悲哀，如喪獨生子，又為我愁苦，如喪長子。Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

¹³利未家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。示每家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,

¹⁴其餘的各家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。and all the remaining clans and their wives.

洗除罪惡的泉源

¹那日，必給大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民開一個泉源，洗除罪惡與污穢。“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the people of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

²萬軍之耶和華說：「那日，我必從地上除滅偶像的名，不再被人記念；也必使這地不再有假先知與污穢的靈。And on that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will erase the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will also remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

³若再有人說預言，生他的父母必對他說：『你不得存活，因為你託耶和華的名說假預言。』生他的父母在他說預言的時候，要將他刺透。And if anyone still prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You shall not remain alive, because you have spoken falsely in the name of the LORD.’ When he prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will pierce him through.

⁴那日，凡作先知說預言的必因他所論的異象羞愧，不再穿毛衣哄騙人。And on that day every prophet who prophesies will be ashamed of his vision, and he will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive.

⁵他必說：『我不是先知，我是耕地的；我從幼年作人的奴僕。』He will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I work the land, for I was purchased as a servant in my youth.’

⁶必有人問他說：『你兩臂中間是甚麼傷呢？』他必回答說：『這是我在親友家中所受的傷。』」If someone asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your chest?’ he will answer, ‘These are the wounds I received in the house of my friends.’

擊打牧人，羊就分散

⁷萬軍之耶和華說：刀劍哪，應當興起，攻擊我的牧人和我的同伴。擊打牧人，羊就分散；我必反手加在微小者的身上。Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the man who is My Companion, declares the LORD of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn My hand against the little ones.

⁹我要使這三分之一經火，熬煉他們，如熬煉銀子；試煉他們，如試煉金子。他們必求告我的名，我必應允他們。我要說：這是我的子民。他們也要說：耶和華是我們的　神。This third I will bring through the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”

耶和華的日子臨近

¹耶和華的日子臨近，你的財物必被搶掠，在你中間分散。Behold, a day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided in your presence.

²因為我必聚集萬國與耶路撒冷爭戰，城必被攻取，房屋被搶奪，婦女被玷污，城中的民一半被擄去；剩下的民仍在城中，不致剪除。For I will gather all the nations for battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.

³那時，耶和華必出去與那些國爭戰，好像從前爭戰一樣。Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle.

耶和華的腳站在橄欖山上

⁴那日，他的腳必站在耶路撒冷前面朝東的橄欖山上。這山必從中間分裂，自東至西成為極大的谷。山的一半向北挪移，一半向南挪移。On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half the mountain moving to the north and half to the south.

⁵你們要從我山的谷中逃跑，因為山谷必延到亞薩。你們逃跑，必如猶大王烏西雅年間的人逃避大地震一樣。耶和華─我的　神必降臨，有一切聖者同來。You will flee by My mountain valley, for it will extend to Azal. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with Him.

¹⁸埃及族若不上來，雨也不降在他們的地上；凡不上來守住棚節的列國人，耶和華也必用這災攻擊他們。And if the people of Egypt will not go up and enter in, then the rain will not fall on them; this will be the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

¹⁹這就是埃及的刑罰和那不上來守住棚節之列國的刑罰。This will be the punishment of Egypt and of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

一切都歸耶和華為聖

²⁰當那日，馬的鈴鐺上必有歸耶和華為聖的這句話。耶和華殿內的鍋必如祭壇前的碗一樣。On that day, HOLY TO THE LORD will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the house of the LORD will be like the sprinkling bowls before the altar.

²¹凡耶路撒冷和猶大的鍋都必歸萬軍之耶和華為聖。凡獻祭的都必來取這鍋，煮肉在其中。當那日，在萬軍之耶和華的殿中必不再有迦南人。Indeed, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the LORD of Hosts, and all who sacrifice will come and take some pots and cook in them. And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD of Hosts.

神的帳幕在人間

³我聽見有大聲音從寶座出來說：「看哪，　神的帳幕在人間。他要與人同住，他們要作他的子民。　神要親自與他們同在，作他們的　神。And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.

⁴神要擦去他們一切的眼淚；不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛，因為以前的事都過去了。」‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”

我將一切都更新了

⁵坐寶座的說：「看哪，我將一切都更新了！」又說：「你要寫上；因這些話是可信的，是真實的。」And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.”

⁶他又對我說：「都成了！我是阿拉法，我是俄梅戛；我是初，我是終。我要將生命泉的水白白賜給那口渴的人喝。And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life.

⁷得勝的，必承受這些為業：我要作他的　神，他要作我的兒子。The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.

⁸惟有膽怯的、不信的、可憎的、殺人的、淫亂的、行邪術的、拜偶像的，和一切說謊話的，他們的分就在燒著硫磺的火湖裡；這是第二次的死。」But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

羔羊的新婦：聖城

⁹拿著七個金碗、盛滿末後七災的七位天使中，有一位來對我說：「你到這裡來，我要將新婦，就是羔羊的妻，指給你看。」Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

¹⁰我被聖靈感動，天使就帶我到一座高大的山，將那由　神那裡、從天而降的聖城耶路撒冷指示我。And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

¹¹城中有　神的榮耀；城的光輝如同極貴的寶石，好像碧玉，明如水晶。shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as clear as crystal.

十二個門和十二根基

用金葦子量城

¹⁵對我說話的，拿著金葦子當尺，要量那城和城門城牆。The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.

¹⁶城是四方的，長寬一樣。天使用葦子量那城，共有四千里，長、寬、高都是一樣；The city lies foursquare, with its width the same as its length. And he measured the city with the rod, and all its dimensions were equal—12,000 stadia in length and width and height.

¹⁷又量了城牆，按著人的尺寸，就是天使的尺寸，共有一百四十四肘。And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.

精金和寶石的城

¹⁸牆是碧玉造的；城是精金的，如同明淨的玻璃。The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass.

¹⁹城牆的根基是用各樣寶石修飾的：第一根基是碧玉；第二是藍寶石；第三是綠瑪瑙；第四是綠寶石；The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone: The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

²⁰第五是紅瑪瑙；第六是紅寶石；第七是黃璧璽；第八是水蒼玉；第九是紅璧璽；第十是翡翠；第十一是紫瑪瑙；第十二是紫晶。the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

²¹十二個門是十二顆珍珠，每門是一顆珍珠。城內的街道是精金，好像明透的玻璃。And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.

神和羔羊為城的殿

²²我未見城內有殿，因主　神─全能者和羔羊為城的殿。But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

²³那城內又不用日月光照；因有　神的榮耀光照，又有羔羊為城的燈。And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.

列國要在城的光裡行走

²⁴列國要在城的光裡行走；地上的君王必將自己的榮耀歸與那城。By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.

²⁵城門白晝總不關閉，在那裡原沒有黑夜。Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.

²⁶人必將列國的榮耀、尊貴歸與那城。And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations.

²⁷凡不潔淨的，並那行可憎與虛謊之事的，總不得進那城；只有名字寫在羔羊生命冊上的才得進去。But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
