1 The burden of the valley of vision.
What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops? 2 You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town, your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle. 3 All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away. 4 Therefore I said, "Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
5 For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains." 6 Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield. 7 Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate. 8 He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest. 9 You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall. 11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who planned it long ago.
12 In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, to mourning, to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth; 13 and behold, there is joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine: "Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die." 14 Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
15 The Lord, Yahweh of Armies says, "Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say, 16 ‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!" 17 Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly. 18 He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you disgrace of your lord’s house. 19 I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
20 It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, 21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22 I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open. 23 I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house. 24 They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers. 25 "In that day," says Yahweh of Armies, "the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it."
1 关于"异象谷"的默示： 你们发生了什么事， 以致你们都上了房顶呢？
2 你这充满喧哗， 繁嚣、欢乐的城市啊！ 你们中间被杀的， 并不是被刀剑所杀， 也不是在战场上阵亡。
3 你们所有的官长都一起逃跑； 他们因没有弓箭而被俘掳， 你们中间所有被找到的都一起被俘掳， 虽然他们已逃到远方去。
4 因此我说： "要转开你们的眼， 不要望着我， 让我痛哭吧！ 不要因我人民的毁灭， 而急急安慰我。"
5 因为主万军之耶和华使"异象谷"有惊恐、践踏、混乱的日子： 城墙被拆毁， 哀声传到山上。
6 以拦拿着箭袋， 并有战车、步兵和骑兵； 吉珥亮出盾牌。
7 你佳美的山谷都布满战车， 又有骑兵在城门前列阵。
8 他挪去犹大的屏障了。到那日， 你就仰望"森林仓库"里的武器；
9 你们看见大卫的缺口很多， 就储存下池的水。
10 你们又数点耶路撒冷的房屋， 把房屋拆掉， 用来坚固城墙。
11 你们又在两道城墙之间造一个水池， 用来盛载旧池的水， 你们却不仰望作这事的主， 也不顾念远古以来计划这事的 神。
12 到那日， 主万军之耶和华叫人哭泣哀号， 剃光头发， 穿上麻布。
13 看哪！ 人还是欢喜快乐， 宰牛杀羊， 吃肉喝酒， 说： "我们吃喝吧！ 因为明天我们就要死了。"
14 万军之耶和华亲自启示我说： "直到你们死的时候， 这罪孽也不得赦免。"这是主万军之耶和华说的。
15 主万军之耶和华这样说： "你去见这掌管库房的， 就是总管舍伯那， 对他说：
16 你在这里有什么权利呢？你在这里有什么人， 竟在这里为你自己凿坟墓， 就是在高处为自己凿坟墓， 在磐石中为自己凿出安身之所呢？
17 看哪， 勇士啊！ 耶和华将要猛烈地拋掷你； 他必把你紧紧抓住，
18 把你卷了又卷， 卷成球状， 然后掷到宽阔之地； 你必死在那里， 你那华美的战车也在那里； 你成了你主人之家的耻辱。
19 我必革除你的官职， 从你的原位上把你拉下来。
20 到那日， 我必召希勒家的儿子， 就是我的仆人以利亚敬来，
21 我会把你的外袍给他穿， 把你的腰带给他系紧， 把你的权柄交在他的手中； 他要作耶路撒冷的居民和犹大家的父。
22 我必把大卫家的钥匙放在他肩头上； 他开了， 就没有人能关； 他关了， 就没有人能开。
23 我必坚立他， 像钉子钉在稳固的地方； 他必作父家荣耀的宝座。
24 他父家所有的荣耀， 他的儿女和子孙以及各样小器皿， 从碗子到瓶子， 都挂在他身上。
25 万军之耶和华说： ‘到那日， 那钉在稳固地方的钉子必垂下来， 被砍断坠落； 那挂在上面的担子必被砍掉， 因为这是耶和华说的。’"
