Isaiah

论耶路撒冷的信息

1论异象谷的默示：有什么事使你这满城的人都上房顶呢？

2你这满处呐喊、大有喧哗的城， 欢乐的邑啊， 你中间被杀的并不是被刀杀， 也不是因打仗死亡。

3你所有的官长一同逃跑， 都为弓箭手所捆绑。 你中间一切被找到的都一同被捆绑； 他们本是逃往远方的。

4所以我说：你们转眼不看我， 我要痛哭。 不要因我众民的毁灭， 就竭力安慰我。

5因为主—万军之耶和华使「异象谷」 有溃乱、践踏、烦扰的日子。 城被攻破， 哀声达到山间。

6以拦带着箭袋， 还有坐战车的和马兵； 吉珥揭开盾牌。

7你嘉美的谷遍满战车， 也有马兵在城门前排列。

8他去掉犹大的遮盖。那日，你就仰望林库内的军器。

9你们看见大卫城的破口很多，便聚积下池的水，

10又数点耶路撒冷的房屋，将房屋拆毁，修补城墙，

11又在两道城墙中间挖一个聚水池可盛旧池的水，却不仰望做这事的主，也不顾念从古定这事的。

12当那日，主—万军之耶和华叫人哭泣哀号， 头上光秃，身披麻布。

13谁知，人倒欢喜快乐， 宰牛杀羊，吃肉喝酒，说： 我们吃喝吧！因为明天要死了。

14万军之耶和华亲自默示我说： 这罪孽直到你们死，断不得赦免！ 这是主—万军之耶和华说的。

对舍伯那的警告

15主—万军之耶和华这样说：「你去见掌银库的，就是家宰舍伯那，对他说：

16『你在这里做什么呢？有什么人竟在这里凿坟墓，就是在高处为自己凿坟墓，在磐石中为自己凿出安身之所？

17看哪，耶和华必像大有力的人，将你紧紧缠裹，竭力抛去。

18他必将你滚成一团，抛在宽阔之地，好像抛球一样。你这主人家的羞辱，必在那里坐你荣耀的车，也必在那里死亡。

19我必赶逐你离开官职；你必从你的原位撤下。』

20「到那日，我必召我仆人希勒家的儿子以利亚敬来，

21将你的外袍给他穿上，将你的腰带给他系紧，将你的政权交在他手中。他必作耶路撒冷居民和犹大家的父。

22我必将大卫家的钥匙放在他肩头上。他开，无人能关；他关，无人能开。

23我必将他安稳，像钉子钉在坚固处；他必作为他父家荣耀的宝座。

24他父家所有的荣耀，连儿女带子孙，都挂在他身上，好像一切小器皿，从杯子到酒瓶挂上一样。

25万军之耶和华说：当那日，钉在坚固处的钉子必压斜，被砍断落地；挂在其上的重担必被剪断。因为这是耶和华说的。」

The Valley of Vision

1This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now,that you have all gone up to the rooftops,

2O city of commotion,O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword,nor were they killed in battle.

3All your rulers have fled together,captured without a bow.All your fugitives were captured together,having fled to a distant place.

4Therefore I said,“Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly!Do not try to console meover the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

5For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a dayof tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision—of breaking down the wallsand crying to the mountains.

6Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen,and Kir uncovers the shield.

7Your choicest valleys are full of chariots,and horsemen are posted at the gates.

8He has uncoveredthe defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.

9You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.

10You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.

11You 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.

12On that day the Lord GOD of Hostscalled for weeping and wailing,for shaven headsand the wearing of sackcloth.

13But 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!”

14The 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.

A Message for Shebna

15This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:

16What 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?

17Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,

18roll 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.

19I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.

20On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

21I 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.

22I 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.

23I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.

24So 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.

25In 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.
