¹ 你们要在锡安吹角，在我圣山吹出大声。国中的居民都要发颤；因为耶和华的日子将到，已经临近。

² 那日是黑暗、幽冥、密云、乌黑的日子，好像晨光铺满山岭。有一队蝗虫（原文是民）又大又强；从来没有这样的，以後直到万代也必没有。

³ 他们前面如火烧灭，後面如火焰烧尽。未到以前，地如伊甸园；过去以後，成了荒凉的旷野；没有一样能躲避他们的。

⁴ 他们的形状如马，奔跑如马兵。

⁵ 在山顶蹦跳的响声，如车辆的响声，又如火焰烧碎秸的响声，好像强盛的民摆阵预备打仗。

⁶ 他们一来，众民伤恸，脸都变色。

⁷ 他们如勇士奔跑，像战士爬城；各都步行，不乱队伍。

⁸ 彼此并不拥挤，向前各行其路，直闯兵器，不偏左右。

⁹ 他们蹦上城，蹿上墙，爬上房屋，进入窗户如同盗贼。

¹⁰ 他们一来，地震天动，日月昏暗，星宿无光。

¹¹ 耶和华在他军旅前发声，他的队伍甚大；成就他命的是强盛者。因为耶和华的日子大而可畏，谁能当得起呢？

¹² 耶和华说：虽然如此，你们应当禁食、哭泣、悲哀，一心归向我。

¹³ 你们要撕裂心肠，不撕裂衣服。归向耶和华─你们的神；因为他有恩典，有怜悯，不轻易发怒，有丰盛的慈爱，并且後悔不降所说的灾。

¹⁴ 或者他转意後悔，留下馀福，就是留下献给耶和华─你们神的素祭和奠祭，也未可知。

¹⁵ 你们要在锡安吹角，分定禁食的日子，宣告严肃会。

¹⁶ 聚集众民，使会众自洁：招聚老者，聚集孩童和吃奶的；使新郎出离洞房，新妇出离内室。

¹⁷ 事奉耶和华的祭司要在廊子和祭坛中间哭泣，说：耶和华啊，求你顾惜你的百姓，不要使你的产业受羞辱，列邦管辖他们。为何容列国的人说：他们的神在哪里呢？

¹⁸ 耶和华就为自己的地发热心，怜恤他的百姓。

¹⁹ 耶和华应允他的百姓说：我必赐给你们五谷、新酒，和油，使你们饱足；我也不再使你们受列国的羞辱；

²⁰ 却要使北方来的军队远离你们，将他们赶到乾旱荒废之地：前队赶入东海，後队赶入西海；因为他们所行的大恶（原文作事），臭气上升，腥味腾空。

²¹ 地土啊，不要惧怕；要欢喜快乐，因为耶和华行了大事。

²² 田野的走兽啊，不要惧怕；因为，旷野的草发生，树木结果，无花果树、葡萄树也都效力。

²³ 锡安的民哪，你们要快乐，为耶和华─你们的神欢喜；因他赐给你们合宜的秋雨，为你们降下甘霖，就是秋雨、春雨，和先前一样。

²⁴ “禾场必满了麦子，酒醡与油醡必有新酒和油盈溢。

²⁵ 我打发到你们中间的大军队，就是蝗虫、蝻子、蚂蚱、剪虫，那些年所吃的，我要补还你们。

²⁶ 你们必多吃而得饱足就赞美为你们行奇妙事之耶和华─你们神的名。我的百姓必永远不至羞愧。

²⁷ 你们必知道我是在以色列中间，又知道我是耶和华─你们的神；在我以外并无别神。我的百姓必永远不致羞愧。

²⁸ 以後，我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。你们的儿女要说预言；你们的老年人要做异梦，少年人要见异象。

²⁹ 在那些日子，我要将我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女。

³⁰ 在天上地下，我要显出奇事，有血，有火，有烟柱。

³¹ 日头要变为黑暗，月亮要变为血，这都在耶和华大而可畏的日子未到以前。

³² 到那时候，凡求告耶和华名的就必得救；因为照耶和华所说的，在锡安山，耶路撒冷必有逃脱的人，在剩下的人中必有耶和华所召的。

²³ 你要告诉他们说：主耶和华如此说：我必使这俗语止息，以色列中不再用这俗语。你却要对他们说：日子临近，一切的异象必都应验。
