約珥書

第3章

1 看哪[behold]到那些日子,那時候[in those days, and in that time],我使猶大和耶路撒冷被擄之人歸回的時候,

2 我要聚集列國[nations],帶他們下到約沙法谷,在那裏施行審判;因為他們將我的百姓,就是我的產業以色列,分散在列國中,又分取我的地土,

3他們[they]為我的百姓擲籤[cast lots][and]男童[boy]換妓女,賣女童[girl]買酒喝。

4 「推羅、西頓,和巴勒斯坦[Palestine]四境的人哪,你們與我何干?你們要報復我嗎?若報復我,我必使報應速速歸到你們的頭上。

5 因你們[Because ye]奪取我的金銀,又將我美好的[goodly pleasant]寶物帶入你們廟中[temples]

6 並將猶大人和耶路撒冷人賣給希臘人[Grecians],使他們遠離自己的境界。

7 看哪[Behold],我必興起[raise]他們離開你們所賣到之地,又必使報應歸到你們的頭上。

8 我必將你們的兒女賣在猶大人的手中,他們必賣給遠方示巴國的人。這是耶和華說的。

9 當在外邦人[Gentiles]中宣告說:要預備打仗,喚醒[wake up]勇士;使一切戰士上前來。

10 要將犁頭打成刀劍,將鐮刀打成戈矛;軟弱的要說:我有勇力。

11 你們一切異教的民[all ye heathen]啊,你們要招聚[Assemble]前來[come]一同四圍聚集[gather yourselves together round about]。耶和華啊,求你使你的大能者降臨。

12 任憑異教之民[Let the heathen]興起,上到約沙法谷;因為我必坐在那裏,審判四圍異教的民[heathen]

13 你們[ye]開鐮吧。因為莊稼熟了;你們下去[get you down]吧。因為酒醡滿了。酒池盈溢;他們的罪惡甚大。

14 許多許多的人在決定[decision]谷,因為耶和華的日子臨近決定[decision]谷。

15 日月昏暗,星宿無光。

16 耶和華必從錫安吼叫,從耶路撒冷發聲;諸天大地[the heavens and the earth]就震動。耶和華卻要作他百姓的盼望[hope],作以色列人的力量[strength]

17 你們就知道我是耶和華─你們的神,且又住在錫安─我的聖山。那時,耶路撒冷必成為聖;外邦人不再從其中經過。

18 到那日,大山要滴[new]酒;小山要流奶子;猶大溪河都有水流。必有泉源從耶和華的殿中流出來,滋潤什亭谷。

19 埃及必然荒涼,以東變為悽涼的曠野,都因向猶大人所行的強暴,又因在本地流無辜人的血。

20 但猶大必可居住[shall dwell]到永遠,耶路撒冷必存到世世代代[from generation to generation]

21 我必洗除他們未被我洗除的流血的罪[For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed],因為耶和華住在錫安。

1 For,3588 behold,2009 in those1992 days,3117 and in that1931 time,6256 when834 I shall bring again7725 853 the captivity7622 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389

2 I will also gather6908 853 all3605 nations,1471 and will bring them down3381 into413 the valley6010 of Jehoshaphat,3092 and will plead8199 with5973 them there8033 for5921 my people5971 and for my heritage5159 Israel,3478 whom834 they have scattered6340 among the nations,1471 and parted2505 my land.776

3 And they have cast3032 lots1486 for413 my people;5971 and have given5414 a boy3206 for a harlot,2181 and sold4376 a girl3207 for wine,3196 that they might drink.8354

4 Yea,1571 and what4100 have ye859 to do with me, O Tyre,6865 and Zidon,6721 and all3605 the coasts1552 of Philistia?6429 will ye859 render7999 5921 me a recompense?1576 and if518 ye859 recompense1580 5921 me, swiftly7031 and speedily4120 will I return7725 your recompense1576 upon your own head;7218

5 Because834 ye have taken3947 my silver3701 and my gold,2091 and have carried935 into your temples1964 my goodly2896 pleasant things: 4261

6 The children1121 also of Judah3063 and the children1121 of Jerusalem3389 have ye sold4376 unto the Greeks,1121 3125 that4616 ye might remove them far7368 from4480 5921 their border.1366

7 Behold,2009 I will raise5782 them out of4480 the place4725 whither834 8033 ye have sold4376 them, and will return7725 your recompense1576 upon your own head: 7218

8 And I will sell4376 853 your sons1121 and your daughters1323 into the hand3027 of the children1121 of Judah,3063 and they shall sell4376 them to the Sabeans,7615 to413 a people1471 far off:7350 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.

9 Proclaim7121 ye this2063 among the Gentiles;1471 Prepare6942 war,4421 wake up5782 the mighty men,1368 let all3605 the men376 of war4421 draw near;5066 let them come up: 5927

10 Beat3807 your plowshares855 into swords,2719 and your pruning hooks4211 into spears:7420 let the weak2523 say,559 I589 am strong.1368

11 Assemble5789 yourselves, and come,935 all3605 ye heathen,1471 and gather yourselves together6908 round about:4480 5439 thither8033 cause thy mighty ones1368 to come down,5181 O LORD.3068

12 Let the heathen1471 be wakened,5782 and come up5927 to413 the valley6010 of Jehoshaphat:3092 for3588 there8033 will I sit3427 to judge8199 853 all3605 the heathen1471 round about.4480 5439

13 Put7971 ye in the sickle,4038 for3588 the harvest7105 is ripe:1310 come,935 get you down;3381 for3588 the press1660 is full,4390 the fats3342 overflow;7783 for3588 their wickedness7451 is great.7227

14 Multitudes,1995 multitudes1995 in the valley6010 of decision:2742 for3588 the day3117 of the LORD3068 is near7138 in the valley6010 of decision.2742

15 The sun8121 and the moon3394 shall be darkened,6937 and the stars3556 shall withdraw622 their shining.5051

16 The LORD3068 also shall roar7580 out of Zion,4480 6726 and utter5414 his voice6963 from Jerusalem;4480 3389 and the heavens8064 and the earth776 shall shake:7493 but the LORD3068 will be the hope4268 of his people,5971 and the strength4581 of the children1121 of Israel.3478

17 So shall ye know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 your God430 dwelling7931 in Zion,6726 my holy6944 mountain:2022 then shall Jerusalem3389 be1961 holy,6944 and there shall no3808 strangers2114 pass through5674 her any more.5750

18 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the mountains2022 shall drop down5197 new wine,6071 and the hills1389 shall flow1980 with milk,2461 and all3605 the rivers650 of Judah3063 shall flow1980 with waters,4325 and a fountain4599 shall come forth3318 of the house4480 1004 of the LORD,3068 and shall water8248 853 the valley5158 of Shittim.7851

19 Egypt4714 shall be1961 a desolation,8077 and Edom123 shall be1961 a desolate8077 wilderness,4057 for4480 the violence2555 against the children1121 of Judah,3063 because834 they have shed8210 innocent5355 blood1818 in their land.776

20 But Judah3063 shall dwell3427 forever,5769 and Jerusalem3389 from generation1755 to generation.1755

21 For I will cleanse5352 their blood1818 that I have not3808 cleansed:5352 for the LORD3068 dwelleth7931 in Zion.6726

1 看哪[behold]到那些日子,那時候[in those days, and in that time],我使猶大和耶路撒冷被擄之人歸回的時候,

1 For,3588 behold,2009 in those1992 days,3117 and in that1931 time,6256 when834 I shall bring again7725 853 the captivity7622 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389

2 我要聚集列國[nations],帶他們下到約沙法谷,在那裏施行審判;因為他們將我的百姓,就是我的產業以色列,分散在列國中,又分取我的地土,

2 I will also gather6908 853 all3605 nations,1471 and will bring them down3381 into413 the valley6010 of Jehoshaphat,3092 and will plead8199 with5973 them there8033 for5921 my people5971 and for my heritage5159 Israel,3478 whom834 they have scattered6340 among the nations,1471 and parted2505 my land.776

3他們[they]為我的百姓擲籤[cast lots][and]男童[boy]換妓女,賣女童[girl]買酒喝。

3 And they have cast3032 lots1486 for413 my people;5971 and have given5414 a boy3206 for a harlot,2181 and sold4376 a girl3207 for wine,3196 that they might drink.8354

4 「推羅、西頓,和巴勒斯坦[Palestine]四境的人哪,你們與我何干?你們要報復我嗎?若報復我,我必使報應速速歸到你們的頭上。

4 Yea,1571 and what4100 have ye859 to do with me, O Tyre,6865 and Zidon,6721 and all3605 the coasts1552 of Philistia?6429 will ye859 render7999 5921 me a recompense?1576 and if518 ye859 recompense1580 5921 me, swiftly7031 and speedily4120 will I return7725 your recompense1576 upon your own head;7218

5 因你們[Because ye]奪取我的金銀,又將我美好的[goodly pleasant]寶物帶入你們廟中[temples]

5 Because834 ye have taken3947 my silver3701 and my gold,2091 and have carried935 into your temples1964 my goodly2896 pleasant things: 4261

6 並將猶大人和耶路撒冷人賣給希臘人[Grecians],使他們遠離自己的境界。

6 The children1121 also of Judah3063 and the children1121 of Jerusalem3389 have ye sold4376 unto the Greeks,1121 3125 that4616 ye might remove them far7368 from4480 5921 their border.1366

7 看哪[Behold],我必興起[raise]他們離開你們所賣到之地,又必使報應歸到你們的頭上。

7 Behold,2009 I will raise5782 them out of4480 the place4725 whither834 8033 ye have sold4376 them, and will return7725 your recompense1576 upon your own head: 7218

8 我必將你們的兒女賣在猶大人的手中,他們必賣給遠方示巴國的人。這是耶和華說的。

8 And I will sell4376 853 your sons1121 and your daughters1323 into the hand3027 of the children1121 of Judah,3063 and they shall sell4376 them to the Sabeans,7615 to413 a people1471 far off:7350 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.

9 當在外邦人[Gentiles]中宣告說:要預備打仗,喚醒[wake up]勇士;使一切戰士上前來。

9 Proclaim7121 ye this2063 among the Gentiles;1471 Prepare6942 war,4421 wake up5782 the mighty men,1368 let all3605 the men376 of war4421 draw near;5066 let them come up: 5927

10 要將犁頭打成刀劍,將鐮刀打成戈矛;軟弱的要說:我有勇力。

10 Beat3807 your plowshares855 into swords,2719 and your pruning hooks4211 into spears:7420 let the weak2523 say,559 I589 am strong.1368

11 你們一切異教的民[all ye heathen]啊,你們要招聚[Assemble]前來[come]一同四圍聚集[gather yourselves together round about]。耶和華啊,求你使你的大能者降臨。

11 Assemble5789 yourselves, and come,935 all3605 ye heathen,1471 and gather yourselves together6908 round about:4480 5439 thither8033 cause thy mighty ones1368 to come down,5181 O LORD.3068

12 任憑異教之民[Let the heathen]興起,上到約沙法谷;因為我必坐在那裏,審判四圍異教的民[heathen]

12 Let the heathen1471 be wakened,5782 and come up5927 to413 the valley6010 of Jehoshaphat:3092 for3588 there8033 will I sit3427 to judge8199 853 all3605 the heathen1471 round about.4480 5439

13 你們[ye]開鐮吧。因為莊稼熟了;你們下去[get you down]吧。因為酒醡滿了。酒池盈溢;他們的罪惡甚大。

13 Put7971 ye in the sickle,4038 for3588 the harvest7105 is ripe:1310 come,935 get you down;3381 for3588 the press1660 is full,4390 the fats3342 overflow;7783 for3588 their wickedness7451 is great.7227

14 許多許多的人在決定[decision]谷,因為耶和華的日子臨近決定[decision]谷。

14 Multitudes,1995 multitudes1995 in the valley6010 of decision:2742 for3588 the day3117 of the LORD3068 is near7138 in the valley6010 of decision.2742

15 日月昏暗,星宿無光。

15 The sun8121 and the moon3394 shall be darkened,6937 and the stars3556 shall withdraw622 their shining.5051

16 耶和華必從錫安吼叫,從耶路撒冷發聲;諸天大地[the heavens and the earth]就震動。耶和華卻要作他百姓的盼望[hope],作以色列人的力量[strength]

16 The LORD3068 also shall roar7580 out of Zion,4480 6726 and utter5414 his voice6963 from Jerusalem;4480 3389 and the heavens8064 and the earth776 shall shake:7493 but the LORD3068 will be the hope4268 of his people,5971 and the strength4581 of the children1121 of Israel.3478

17 你們就知道我是耶和華─你們的神,且又住在錫安─我的聖山。那時,耶路撒冷必成為聖;外邦人不再從其中經過。

17 So shall ye know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 your God430 dwelling7931 in Zion,6726 my holy6944 mountain:2022 then shall Jerusalem3389 be1961 holy,6944 and there shall no3808 strangers2114 pass through5674 her any more.5750

18 到那日,大山要滴[new]酒;小山要流奶子;猶大溪河都有水流。必有泉源從耶和華的殿中流出來,滋潤什亭谷。

18 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the mountains2022 shall drop down5197 new wine,6071 and the hills1389 shall flow1980 with milk,2461 and all3605 the rivers650 of Judah3063 shall flow1980 with waters,4325 and a fountain4599 shall come forth3318 of the house4480 1004 of the LORD,3068 and shall water8248 853 the valley5158 of Shittim.7851

19 埃及必然荒涼,以東變為悽涼的曠野,都因向猶大人所行的強暴,又因在本地流無辜人的血。

19 Egypt4714 shall be1961 a desolation,8077 and Edom123 shall be1961 a desolate8077 wilderness,4057 for4480 the violence2555 against the children1121 of Judah,3063 because834 they have shed8210 innocent5355 blood1818 in their land.776

20 但猶大必可居住[shall dwell]到永遠,耶路撒冷必存到世世代代[from generation to generation]

20 But Judah3063 shall dwell3427 forever,5769 and Jerusalem3389 from generation1755 to generation.1755

21 我必洗除他們未被我洗除的流血的罪[For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed],因為耶和華住在錫安。

21 For I will cleanse5352 their blood1818 that I have not3808 cleansed:5352 for the LORD3068 dwelleth7931 in Zion.6726
