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。」

1The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee also, that thou too art wholly gone up to the housetops?

2Full of clamour, a populous city, a joyous city: thy slain are not slain by the sword, nor dead in battle.

3All the princes are fled together, and are bound hard: all that were found, are bound together, they are fled far off.

4Therefore have I said: Depart from me, I will weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, for the devastation of the daughter of my people.

5For it is a day of slaughter and of treading down, and of weeping to the Lord the God of hosts in the valley of vision, searching the wall, and magnificent upon the mountain.

6And Elam took the quiver, the chariot of the horseman, and the shield was taken down from the wall.

7And thy choice valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horseman shall place themselves in the gate.

8And the covering of Juda shall be discovered, and thou shalt see in that day the armoury of the house of the forest.

9And you shall see the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and you have gathered together the waters of the lower pool,

10And have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and broken down houses to fortify the wall.

11And you made a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: and you have not looked up to the maker thereof, nor regarded him even at a distance, that wrought it long ago.

12And the Lord, the God of hosts, in that day shall call to weeping, and to mourning, to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

13And behold joy and gladness, killing calves, and slaying rams, eating flesh, and drinking wine: Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.

14And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till you die, saith the Lord God of hosts.

15Thus saith the Lord God of hosts: Go, get thee in to him that dwelleth in the tabernacle, to Sobna who is over the temple: and thou shalt say to him:

16What dost thou here, or as if thou wert somebody here? for thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, thou hast hewed out a monument carefully in a high place, a dwelling for thyself in a rock.

17Behold the Lord will cause thee to be carried away, as a cock is carried away, and he will lift thee up as a garment.

18He will crown thee with a crown of tribulation, he will toss thee like a ball into a large and spacious country: there shalt thou die, and there shall the chariot of thy glory be, the shame of the house of thy Lord.

19And I will drive thee out From thy station, and depose thee from thy ministry.

20And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliacim the son of Helcias,

21And I will clothe him with thy robe, and will strengthen him with thy girdle, and will give thy power into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Juda.

22And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder: and he shall open, and none shall shut: and he shall shut, and none shall open.

23And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to the house of his father.

24And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, divers kinds of vessels, every little vessel, from the vessels of cups even to every instrument of music.

25In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the peg be removed, that was fastened in the sure place: and it shall be broken and shall fall: and that which hung thereon, shall perish, because the Lord hath spoken it.
