祭司和先知东倒西歪

锡安宝贵的房角石

¹⁶所以，主耶和华如此说：看哪，我在锡安放一块石头作为根基，是试验过的石头，是稳固根基，宝贵的房角石；信靠的人必不着急。So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.

¹⁷我必以公平为准绳，以公义为线铊。冰雹必冲去谎言的避所；大水必漫过藏身之处。I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place.

¹⁸你们与死亡所立的约必然废掉，与阴间所结的盟必立不住。敌军（原文是鞭子）如水涨漫经过的时候，你们必被他践踏；Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it.

农夫耕种的比喻

²³你们当侧耳听我的声音，留心听我的言语。Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention and hear what I say.

²⁴那耕地为要撒种的，岂是常常耕地呢？岂是常常开垦耙地呢？Does the plowman plow for planting every day? Does he continuously loosen and harrow the soil?

²⁵他拉平了地面，岂不就撒种小茴香，播种大茴香，按行列种小麦，在定处种大麦，在田边种粗麦呢？When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots, and rye within its border.

²⁶因为他的　神教导他务农相宜，并且指教他。For his God instructs and teaches him properly.

²⁷原来打小茴香，不用尖利的器具，轧大茴香，也不用碌碡（原文是车轮；下同）；但用杖打小茴香，用棍打大茴香。Surely caraway is not threshed with a sledge, and the wheel of a cart is not rolled over the cumin. But caraway is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.

²⁸做饼的粮食是用磨磨碎，因它不必常打；虽用碌碡和马打散，却不磨它。Grain for bread must be ground, but it is not endlessly threshed. Though the wheels of the cart roll over it, the horses do not crush it.

²⁹这也是出于万军之耶和华—他的谋略奇妙；他的智慧广大。This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.

亚利伊勒被围困

¹唉！亚利伊勒，亚利伊勒，大卫安营的城，任凭你年上加年，节期照常周流。Woe to you, O Ariel, the city of Ariel where David camped! Year upon year let your festivals recur.

²我终必使亚利伊勒困难；她必悲伤哀号，我却仍以她为亚利伊勒。And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.

³我必四围安营攻击你，屯兵围困你，筑垒攻击你。I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.

⁴你必败落，从地中说话；你的言语必微细出于尘埃。你的声音必像那交鬼者的声音出于地；你的言语低低微微出于尘埃。You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.

仇敌忽然像飞糠散去

⁵你仇敌的群众，却要像细尘；强暴人的群众，也要像飞糠。这事必顷刻之间忽然临到。But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,

⁶万军之耶和华必用雷轰、地震、大声、旋风、暴风，并吞灭的火焰，向她讨罪。you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.

⁷那时，攻击亚利伊勒列国的群众，就是一切攻击亚利伊勒和她的保障，并使她困难的，必如梦景，如夜间的异象；All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel—even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her—will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,

⁸又必像饥饿的人梦中吃饭，醒了仍觉腹空；或像口渴的人梦中喝水，醒了仍觉发昏，心里想喝。攻击锡安山列国的群众也必如此。as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.

沉睡的灵、封住的书卷

⁹你们等候惊奇吧！你们宴乐昏迷吧！他们醉了，却非因酒；他们东倒西歪，却非因浓酒。Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink.

¹⁰因为耶和华将沉睡的灵浇灌你们，封闭你们的眼，蒙盖你们的头。你们的眼就是先知；你们的头就是先见。For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.

¹¹所有的默示，你们看如封住的书卷，人将这书卷交给识字的，说：“请念吧！”他说：“我不能念，因为是封住了。”And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”

¹²又将这书卷交给不识字的人，说：“请念吧！”他说：“我不识字。”Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”

嘴唇尊敬，心却远离

¹³主说：因为这百姓亲近我，用嘴唇尊敬我，心却远离我；他们敬畏我，不过是领受人的吩咐。Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.

相关经文 ›

¹⁴所以，我在这百姓中要行奇妙的事，就是奇妙又奇妙的事。他们智慧人的智慧必然消灭，聪明人的聪明必然隐藏。Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”

岂可看窑匠如泥

¹⁵祸哉！那些向耶和华深藏谋略的，又在暗中行事，说：谁看见我们呢？谁知道我们呢？Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”

¹⁶你们把事颠倒了，岂可看窑匠如泥吗？被制作的物岂可论制作物的说：他没有制作我？或是被创造的物论造物的说：他没有聪明？You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?

聋子听见，瞎子看见

¹⁷黎巴嫩变为肥田，肥田看如树林，不是只有一点点时候吗？In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?

¹⁸那时，聋子必听见这书上的话；瞎子的眼必从迷蒙黑暗中得以看见。On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

¹⁹谦卑人必因耶和华增添欢喜；人间贫穷的必因以色列的圣者快乐。The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

²¹他们在争讼的事上定无罪的为有罪，为城门口责备人的设下网罗，用虚无的事屈枉义人。those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.

²²所以，救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华论雅各家如此说：雅各必不再羞愧，面容也不致变色。Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.

²³但他看见他的众子，就是我手的工作在他那里，他们必尊我的名为圣，必尊雅各的圣者为圣，必敬畏以色列的　神。For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

²⁴心中迷糊的必得明白；发怨言的必受训诲。Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”

意念相同，存心谦卑

¹所以，在基督里若有什么劝勉，爱心有什么安慰，圣灵有什么交通，心中有什么慈悲怜悯，Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

²你们就要意念相同，爱心相同，有一样的心思，有一样的意念，使我的喜乐可以满足。then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose.

³凡事不可结党，不可贪图虚浮的荣耀；只要存心谦卑，各人看别人比自己强。Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

⁴各人不要单顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

以基督耶稣的心为心

⁵你们当以基督耶稣的心为心：Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁶他本有　神的形象，不以自己与　神同等为强夺的；Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

⁷反倒虚己，取了奴仆的形象，成为人的样式；but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.

⁸既有人的样子，就自己卑微，存心顺服，以至于死，且死在十字架上。And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.

神将他升为至高

⁹所以，　神将他升为至高，又赐给他那超乎万名之上的名，Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,

¹⁰叫一切在天上的、地上的，和地底下的，因耶稣的名无不屈膝，that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

¹⁸你们也要照样喜乐，并且与我一同喜乐。So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

推荐提摩太

¹⁹我靠主耶稣指望快打发提摩太去见你们，叫我知道你们的事，心里就得着安慰。Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing.

²⁰因为我没有别人与我同心，实在挂念你们的事。I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs.

²¹别人都求自己的事，并不求耶稣基督的事。For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

²²但你们知道提摩太的明证；他兴旺福音，与我同劳，待我像儿子待父亲一样。But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel.

²³所以，我一看出我的事要怎样了结，就盼望立刻打发他去；So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me.

²⁴但我靠着主自信我也必快去。And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

推荐以巴弗提

²⁵然而，我想必须打发以巴弗提到你们那里去。他是我的兄弟，与我一同做工，一同当兵，是你们所差遣的，也是供给我需用的。But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs.

²⁶他很想念你们众人，并且极其难过，因为你们听见他病了。For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.

²⁷他实在是病了，几乎要死；然而　神怜恤他，不但怜恤他，也怜恤我，免得我忧上加忧。He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.

²⁸所以我越发急速打发他去，叫你们再见他，就可以喜乐，我也可以少些忧愁。Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

²⁹故此，你们要在主里欢欢乐乐地接待他，而且要尊重这样的人；Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,

³⁰因他为做基督的工夫，几乎至死，不顾性命，要补足你们供给我的不及之处。because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.
