约珥书 3

Studie

   

1 到那日,我使犹大耶路撒冷被掳之人归回的时候,

2 我要聚集万民,带他们约沙法,在那里施行审判;因为他们将我的百姓,就是我的产业以色列,分散在列国中,又分取我的土,

3 且为我的百姓拈阄,将童子换妓女童女买酒

4 推罗、西顿,和非利士四境的人哪,你们与我何干?你们要报复我麽?若报复我,我必使报应速速归到你们的上。

5 你们既然夺取我的,又将我可爱的宝物带入你们宫殿(或译:庙中),

6 并将犹大人和耶路撒冷给希利尼人(原文是雅完人),使他们远离自己的境界。

7 我必激动他们离开你们所到之地,又必使报应归到你们的上。

8 我必将你们的儿女犹大人的中,他们必给远方示巴国的人。这是耶和华的。

9 当在万民中宣告说:要预备打仗;激动勇士,使一切战士上前来。

10 要将犁头打成刀,将镰刀打成戈矛;软弱的要:我有勇力。

11 四围的列国啊,你们要速速地,一同聚集。耶和华啊,求你使你的大能者降临。

12 万民都当兴起,上到约沙法;因为我必在那里,审判四围的列国。

13 开镰吧!因为庄稼熟了;践踏吧!因为酒醡满了,酒池盈溢,他们的罪恶甚大。

14 许多许多的人在断定,因为耶和华的日子临近断定

15 日月昏暗,宿无光。

16 耶和华必从锡安吼叫,从耶路撒冷发声,就震动。耶和华却要作他百姓的避难所,作以色列人的保障。

17 你们就知道我是耶和华─你们的,且又住在锡安─我的。那时,耶路撒冷必成为;外邦人不再从其中经过。

18 到那日,大要滴甜酒;小奶子;犹大都有。必有泉源从耶和华的殿中出来,滋润什亭谷。

19 埃及必然荒凉,以东变为凄凉的旷野,都因向犹大人所行的强暴,又因在本流无辜人的血。

20 犹大必存到永远耶路撒冷必存到万

21 我未曾报复(或译:洗除;下同)流血的罪,现在我要报复,因为耶和华住在锡安。
