第二十二章

Chapter 22

錫安及其支聯會將於末世興起，以色列會在慈悲和溫和的情況下重聚──他們會勝利──比照以賽亞書第五十四章。約主後三四年。

In the last days, Zion and her stakes will be established, and Israel will be gathered in mercy and tenderness—They will triumph—Compare Isaiah 54. About A.D. 34.

1 那時，記載的事必定會發生：不能生養的啊，你這不懷孕的，要歌唱；你這未曾經過產難的，要發聲^ａ歌唱、高聲歡呼；因為無子女婦人的孩子比已婚婦人的孩子多；這是主說的。

1 And then shall that which is written come to pass: Sing, O^abarren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into ^bsinging, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child; for more are the children of the ^cdesolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

2 要擴張你帳幕之地，讓他們張大你居所的幔子，不要限制，要放長你的繩子，堅固你的^ａ樁子。

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations; spare not, lengthen thy cords and strengthen thy ^astakes;

3 因為你要向左向右開展，你的後裔必得^ａ外邦人為業，又使荒涼的城邑有人居住。

3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall ^ainherit the ^bGentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 不要懼怕，因你不致蒙^ａ羞；你也不會被毀滅，因你不致受辱；你必忘記幼年的羞愧，不再記得幼年的羞辱，也不再記得你寡居的羞辱。

4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to ^ashame; for thou shalt forget the ^bshame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the^creproach of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5 因為造你的，你的丈夫，萬軍之主是祂的名；你的救贖主，以色列聖者──祂必稱為全地之神。

5 For thy maker, thy ^ahusband, the Lord of Hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel—the God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6 主召你如召被離棄而心中憂傷的婦女，如幼年所娶被棄的妻；這是你神所說的。

6 For the Lord hath called thee ^aas a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7 我離棄你不過片刻，卻要施大恩將你收回。

7 For a small moment have I ^aforsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8 我稍微發怒，向你掩面片刻，卻要以永遠的慈愛^ａ憐恤你；這是主，你的救贖主說的。

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting ^akindness will I have ^bmercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

9 ^ａ這事在我好像挪亞的^ｂ洪水，我怎樣起誓不再使挪亞的洪水漫過遍地，也照樣起誓不再向你發怒。

9 For ^athis, the ^bwaters of Noah unto me, for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee.

10 ^ａ大山要挪開，小山要遷移；但我的慈愛必不^ｂ離開你，我平安的約也不遷移；這是憐恤你的主說的。

10 For the ^amountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my ^bkindness shall not ^cdepart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

11 你這受困苦被風飄蕩不得安慰的人啊，看啊，我必以美麗的顏色安置你的^ａ石頭，以藍寶石立定你的根基。

11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted! Behold, I will lay thy ^astones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

12 又以瑪瑙造你的窗，以紅玉造你的城門，以寶石造你四周的邊界。

12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

13 ^ａ你的兒女都要受主的教訓，你的兒女必大享平安。

13 And ^aall thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the ^bpeace of thy children.

14 你必在^ａ正義中得堅立；你必遠離欺壓，因你必不害怕，你必遠離驚嚇，因驚嚇必不臨近你。

14 In ^arighteousness shalt thou be established; thou shalt be far from oppression for thou shalt not fear, and from terror for it shall not come near thee.

15 看啊，他們必定會聚集攻擊你，卻不是由於我；凡聚集攻擊你的，必因你的緣故倒下。

15 Behold, they shall surely gather together ^aagainst thee, not by me; whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

16 看啊，吹炭火、打造合用器械的鐵匠，是我所造；行毀滅的，也是我所造。

16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

17 凡為攻擊你造成的武器，必不成功；凡在審判時用舌辱罵你的，你必定他有罪。這是主的僕人的產業，他們的正義從我而來，這是主說的。

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall revile against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the ^aservants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
