1But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 2And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3¶ And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.4.3 pruninghooks: or, scythes 4But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. 5For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever. 6In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; 7And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
8¶ And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. 9Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. 10Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11¶ Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. 12But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. 13Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
耶路撒冷的將來
1在末後的日子，
耶和華殿所在的山必超乎群山，
高過眾嶺，
萬民都要歸向它。
2多國的民都要前來，說：
「來吧，讓我們登耶和華的山，
去雅各之上帝的殿。
祂必指示我們當行的路，
我們也要遵行祂的道。」
因為訓誨必出於錫安，
耶和華的話語必來自耶路撒冷。
3祂要在各民族中施行審判，
為遠方的強國斷定是非。
他們要把刀劍鑄成犁頭，
把矛槍打成鐮刀。
國與國之間不再動刀槍，
也不再學習戰爭。
4人人都安然坐在自己的葡萄樹和無花果樹下，
不再擔驚受怕。
這是萬軍之耶和華親口說的。
5萬民都遵從自己的神明，
但我們要永遠遵從我們的上帝耶和華。
6耶和華說：
「到那日，我要聚集瘸腿的，
招聚被擄的和被我懲罰的。
7我要使瘸腿的成為餘民，
讓被擄的成為強國。
耶和華要在錫安山做王治理他們，
從那時直到永遠。
8「你這羊群的瞭望塔，
錫安城4·8 「城」希伯來文是「女子」，可能是對錫安的暱稱，下同4·13。的堅壘啊！
從前的國權——
耶路撒冷城的王位必重新歸你。」
9現在你為何大聲哭喊？
是因為你沒有王嗎？
難道你的謀士都死了嗎，
以致你像分娩的婦人一樣痛苦不堪？
10錫安的百姓啊，
你們要像分娩的婦人一樣輾轉呻吟，
因為你們現在要離開這城，
住在荒野，被擄到巴比倫。
在那裡，你們將得到解救；
在那裡，耶和華必從敵人手中救贖你們。
11現在許多國家一起來攻擊你們，說：
「願錫安遭蹂躪，
我們要看著錫安被毀滅。」
12他們卻不知道耶和華的心意，
也不明白祂的計劃。
祂聚集他們是要懲罰他們，
像把禾捆堆積在麥場一樣。
13耶和華說：
「錫安城啊，
起來打穀吧！
我要給你鐵角，
我要給你銅蹄。
你要打碎列國，
將他們的不義之財獻給耶和華，
把他們的財富獻給普天下的主。」
