約珥書 2

你們要在錫安吹角， 在我聖山吹出大聲。 國中的居民都要發顫； 因為耶和華的日子將到， 已經臨近。

nǐ men yào zài xī ān chuī jiǎo ， zài wǒ shèng shān chuī chū dà shēng 。 guó zhōng de jū mín dōu yào fā chàn ； yīn wèi yē hé huá de rì zi jiāng dào ， yǐ jīng lín jìn 。

Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD comes, for it is close at hand:

那日是黑暗、幽冥、 密雲、烏黑的日子， 好像晨光鋪滿山嶺。 有一隊蝗蟲 又大又強； 從來沒有這樣的， 以後直到萬代也必沒有。

nà rì shì hēi àn 、 yōu míng 、 mì yún 、 wū hēi de rì zi ， hǎo xiàng chén guāng pù mǎn shān lǐng 。 yǒu yí duì huáng chóng yòu dà yòu qiáng ； cóng lái méi yǒu zhè yàng de ， yǐ hòu zhí dào wàn dài yě bì méi yǒu 。

A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.

牠們前面如火燒滅， 後面如火焰燒盡。 未到以前，地如伊甸園； 過去以後，成了荒涼的曠野； 沒有一樣能躲避牠們的。

tā men qián miàn rú huǒ shāo miè ， hòu miàn rú huǒ yàn shāo jìn 。 wèi dào yǐ qián ， dì rú yī diàn yuán ； guò qù yǐ hòu ， chéng le huāng liáng de kuàng yě ； méi yǒu yí yàng néng duǒ bì tā men de 。

A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.

牠們的形狀如馬， 奔跑如馬兵。

tā men de xíng zhuàng rú mǎ ， bēn pǎo rú mǎ bīng 。

Their appearance is as the appearance of horses, and they run as horsemen.

在山頂蹦跳的響聲如車輛的響聲， 又如火焰燒碎稭的響聲， 好像強盛的民擺陣預備打仗。

zài shān dǐng bèng tiào de xiǎng shēng rú chē liàng de xiǎng shēng ， yòu rú huǒ yàn shāo suì jiē de xiǎng shēng ， hǎo xiàng qiáng shèng de mín bǎi zhèn yù bèi dǎ zhàng 。

Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle array.

牠們一來，眾民傷慟， 臉都變色。

tā men yì lái ， zhòng mín shāng tòng ， liǎn dōu biàn sè 。

At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.

牠們如勇士奔跑， 像戰士爬城； 各都步行，不亂隊伍。

tā men rú yǒng shì bēn pǎo ， xiàng zhàn shì pá chéng ； gè dōu bù xíng ， bú luàn duì wu 。

They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they don’t swerve off course.

彼此並不擁擠，向前各行其路， 直闖兵器，不偏左右。

bǐ cǐ bìng bù yōng jǐ ， xiàng qián gè háng qí lù ， zhí chuǎng bīng qì ， bù piān zuǒ yòu 。

One doesn’t jostle another. They each march in their own path. They burst through the defenses and don’t break ranks.

牠們蹦上城，躥上牆， 爬上房屋， 進入窗戶如同盜賊。

tā men bèng shàng chéng ， cuān shàng qiáng ， pá shàng fáng wū ， jìn rù chuāng hù rú tóng dào zéi 。

They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.

牠們一來， 地震天動， 日月昏暗， 星宿無光。

tā men yì lái ， dì zhèn tiān dòng ， rì yuè hūn àn ， xīng xiù wú guāng 。

The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

耶和華在他軍旅前發聲， 他的隊伍甚大； 成就他命的是強盛者。 因為耶和華的日子大而可畏， 誰能當得起呢？

yē hé huá zài tā jūn lǚ qián fā shēng ， tā de duì wu shèn dà ； chéng jiù tā mìng de shì qiáng shèng zhě 。 yīn wèi yē hé huá de rì zi dà ér kě wèi ， shuí néng dāng dé qǐ ne ？

The LORD thunders his voice before his army, for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of the LORD is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?

耶和華說：雖然如此， 你們應當禁食、哭泣、悲哀， 一心歸向我。

yē hé huá shuō ： suī rán rú cǐ ， nǐ men yīng dāng jìn shí 、 kū qì 、 bēi āi ， yì xīn guī xiàng wǒ 。

“Yet even now,” says the LORD, “turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”

你們要撕裂心腸， 不撕裂衣服。 歸向耶和華－你們的上帝； 因為他有恩典，有憐憫， 不輕易發怒， 有豐盛的慈愛， 並且後悔不降所說的災。

nǐ men yào sī liè xīn cháng ， bù sī liè yī fu 。 guī xiàng yē hé huá — nǐ men de shén ； yīn wèi tā yǒu ēn diǎn ， yǒu lián mǐn ， bù qīng yì fā nù ， yǒu fēng shèng de cí ài ， bìng qiě hòu huǐ bú jiàng suǒ shuō de zāi 。

Tear your heart and not your garments, and turn to the LORD, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.

或者他轉意後悔，留下餘福， 就是留下獻給耶和華－你們上帝的素祭和奠祭， 也未可知。

huò zhě tā zhuǎn yì hòu huǐ ， liú xià yú fú ， jiù shì liú xià xiàn gěi yē hé huá — nǐ men shén de sù jì hé diàn jì ， yě wèi kě zhī 。

Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to the LORD, your God.

你們要在錫安吹角， 分定禁食的日子， 宣告嚴肅會。

nǐ men yào zài xī ān chuī jiǎo ， fēn dìng jìn shí de rì zi ， xuān gào yán sù huì 。

Blow the trumpet in Zion! Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.

聚集眾民，使會眾自潔： 招聚老者， 聚集孩童和吃奶的； 使新郎出離洞房， 新婦出離內室。

jù jí zhòng mín ， shǐ huì zhòng zì jié ： zhāo jù lǎo zhě ， jù jí hái tóng hé chī nǎi de ； shǐ xīn láng chū lí dòng fáng ， xīn fù chū lí nèi shì 。

Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who nurse from breasts. Let the bridegroom go out of his room, and the bride out of her chamber.

事奉耶和華的祭司 要在廊子和祭壇中間哭泣，說： 耶和華啊，求你顧惜你的百姓， 不要使你的產業受羞辱， 列邦管轄他們。 為何容列國的人說： 「他們的上帝在哪裏」呢？

shì fèng yē hé huá de jì sī yào zài láng zǐ hé jì tán zhōng jiān kū qì ， shuō ： yē hé huá a ， qiú nǐ gù xī nǐ de bǎi xìng ， bú yào shǐ nǐ de chǎn yè shòu xiū rǔ ， liè bāng guǎn xiá tā men 。 wèi hé róng liè guó de rén shuō ： 「 tā men de shén zài nǎ lǐ 」 ne ？

Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, LORD, and don’t give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”

耶和華就為自己的地發熱心， 憐恤他的百姓。

yē hé huá jiù wèi zì jǐ de dì fā rè xīn ， lián xù tā de bǎi xìng 。

Then the LORD was jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.

耶和華應允他的百姓說： 我必賜給你們五穀、新酒，和油， 使你們飽足； 我也不再使你們受列國的羞辱；

yē hé huá yīng yǔn tā de bǎi xìng shuō ： wǒ bì cì gěi nǐ men wǔ gǔ 、 xīn jiǔ ， hé yóu ， shǐ nǐ men bǎo zú ； wǒ yě bú zài shǐ nǐ men shòu liè guó de xiū rǔ ；

The LORD answered his people, “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.

卻要使北方來的軍隊遠離你們， 將他們趕到乾旱荒廢之地： 前隊趕入東海， 後隊趕入西海； 因為他們所行的大惡 ， 臭氣上升，腥味騰空。

què yào shǐ běi fāng lái de jūn duì yuǎn lí nǐ men ， jiāng tā men gǎn dào gān hàn huāng fèi zhī dì ： qián duì gǎn rù dōng hǎi ， hòu duì gǎn rù xī hǎi ； yīn wèi tā men suǒ xíng de dà è ， chòu qì shàng shēng ， xīng wèi téng kōng 。

But I will remove the northern army far away from you, and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise.” Surely he has done great things.

地土啊，不要懼怕； 要歡喜快樂， 因為耶和華行了大事。

dì tǔ a ， bú yào jù pà ； yào huān xǐ kuài lè ， yīn wèi yē hé huá xíng le dà shì 。

Land, don’t be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things.

田野的走獸啊，不要懼怕； 因為，曠野的草發生， 樹木結果， 無花果樹、葡萄樹也都效力。

tián yě de zǒu shòu a ， bú yào jù pà ； yīn wèi ， kuàng yě de cǎo fā shēng ， shù mù jié guǒ ， wú huā guǒ shù 、 pú táo shù yě dōu xiào lì 。

Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

錫安的民哪，你們要快樂， 為耶和華－你們的上帝歡喜； 因他賜給你們合宜的秋雨， 為你們降下甘霖， 就是秋雨、春雨，和先前一樣。

xī ān de mín nǎ ， nǐ men yào kuài lè ， wèi yē hé huá — nǐ men de shén huān xǐ ； yīn tā cì gěi nǐ men hé yí de qiū yǔ ， wèi nǐ men jiàng xià gān lín ， jiù shì qiū yǔ 、 chūn yǔ ， hé xiān qián yí yàng 。

“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD, your God; for he gives you the early rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain, as before.

禾場必滿了麥子； 酒醡與油醡必有新酒和油盈溢。

hé chǎng bì mǎn le mài zi ； jiǔ zhà yǔ yóu zhà bì yǒu xīn jiǔ hé yóu yíng yì 。

The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

我打發到你們中間的大軍隊， 就是蝗蟲、蝻子、螞蚱、剪蟲， 那些年所吃的，我要補還你們。

wǒ dǎ fā dào nǐ men zhōng jiān de dà jūn duì ， jiù shì huáng chóng 、 nǎn zǐ 、 mà zha 、 jiǎn chóng ， nà xiē nián suǒ chī de ， wǒ yào bǔ hái nǐ men 。

I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.

你們必多吃而得飽足， 就讚美為你們行奇妙事之耶和華－你們上帝的名。 我的百姓必永遠不致羞愧。

nǐ men bì duō chī ér dé bǎo zú ， jiù zàn měi wèi nǐ men xíng qí miào shì zhī yē hé huá — nǐ men shén de míng 。 wǒ de bǎi xìng bì yǒng yuǎn bú zhì xiū kuì 。

You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied, and will praise the name of the LORD, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.

你們必知道我是在以色列中間， 又知道我是耶和華－你們的上帝； 在我以外並無別神。 我的百姓必永遠不致羞愧。

nǐ men bì zhī dào wǒ shì zài yǐ sè liè zhōng jiān ， yòu zhī dào wǒ shì yē hé huá — nǐ men de shén ； zài wǒ yǐ wài bìng wú bié shén 。 wǒ de bǎi xìng bì yǒng yuǎn bú zhì xiū kuì 。

You will know that I am among Israel, and that I am the LORD, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never again be disappointed.

以後，我要將我的靈澆灌凡有血氣的。 你們的兒女要說預言； 你們的老年人要做異夢， 少年人要見異象。

yǐ hòu ， wǒ yào jiāng wǒ de líng jiāo guàn fán yǒu xuè qì de 。 nǐ men de ér nǚ yào shuō yù yán ； nǐ men de lǎo nián rén yào zuò yì mèng ， shào nián rén yào jiàn yì xiàng 。

“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.

在那些日子， 我要將我的靈澆灌我的僕人和使女。

zài nà xiē rì zi ， wǒ yào jiāng wǒ de líng jiāo guàn wǒ de pú rén hé shǐ nǚ 。

And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days, I will pour out my Spirit.

「在天上地下，我要顯出奇事，有血，有火，有煙柱。

「 zài tiān shàng dì xià ， wǒ yào xiǎn chū qí shì ， yǒu xuè ， yǒu huǒ ， yǒu yān zhù 。

I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.

日頭要變為黑暗，月亮要變為血，這都在耶和華大而可畏的日子未到以前。

rì tou yào biàn wèi hēi àn ， yuè liàng yào biàn wèi xuè ， zhè dōu zài yē hé huá dà ér kě wèi de rì zi wèi dào yǐ qián 。

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.

到那時候，凡求告耶和華名的就必得救；因為照耶和華所說的，在錫安山，耶路撒冷必有逃脫的人，在剩下的人中必有耶和華所召的。」

dào nà shí hòu ， fán qiú gào yē hé huá míng de jiù bì dé jiù ； yīn wèi zhào yē hé huá suǒ shuō de ， zài xī ān shān ， yē lù sā lěng bì yǒu táo tuō de rén ， zài shèng xià de rén zhōng bì yǒu yē hé huá suǒ zhào de 。」

It will happen that whoever will call on the LORD’s name shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the remnant, those whom the LORD calls.
