Isaiah 以赛亚书22

（单词翻译）

22An oracle¹ concerning the Valley of Vision: What troubles you now, that you have all gone up on the roofs,
2O town full of commotion², O city of tumult³ and revelry? Your slain⁴ were not killed by the sword, nor did they die in battle.
3All your leaders have fled together; they have been captured without using the bow. All you who were caught were taken prisoner together, having fled while the enemy was still far away.
4Therefore I said, "Turn away from me; let me weep bitterly. Do not try to console me over the destruction of my people."
5The Lord, the Lord Almighty⁵, has a day of tumult and trampling⁷ and terror in the Valley of Vision, a day of battering⁸ down walls and of crying out to the mountains.
6Elam takes up the quiver, with her charioteers and horses; Kir uncovers the shield.
7Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the city gates;
8the defenses of Judah are stripped away. And you looked in that day to the weapons in the Palace of the Forest;
9you saw that the City of David had many breaches⁹ in its defenses; you stored up water in the Lower Pool.
10You counted the buildings in Jerusalem and tore down houses to strengthen the wall.
11You built a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the Old Pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or have regard for the One who planned it long ago.
12The Lord, the Lord Almighty, called you on that day to weep and to wail¹⁰, to tear out your hair and put on sackcloth.
13But see, there is joy and revelry, slaughtering¹¹ of cattle and killing¹² of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine! "Let us eat and drink," you say, "for tomorrow we die!"
14The Lord Almighty has revealed this in my hearing: "Till your dying day this sin will not be atoned¹³ for," says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
15This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says: "Go, say to this steward¹⁴, to Shebna, who is in charge of the palace:
16What are you doing here and who gave you permission to cut out a grave for yourself here, hewing¹⁵ your grave on the height and chiseling¹⁶ your resting place in the rock?
17"Beware, the Lord is about to take firm hold of you and hurl¹⁷ you away, O you mighty⁶ man.
18He will roll you up tightly like a ball and throw you into a large country. There you will die and there your splendid chariots will remain- you disgrace to your master's house!
19I will depose¹⁸ you from your office, and you will be ousted¹⁹ from your position.
20"In that day I will summon my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
21I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
23I will drive him like a peg²⁰ into a firm place; he will be a seat of honor for the house of his father.
24All the glory of his family will hang on him: its offspring and offshoots-all its lesser²¹ vessels²², from the bowls to all the jars.
25"In that day," declares the Lord Almighty, "the peg driven into the firm place will give way; it will be sheared²³ off and will fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut down." The Lord has spoken.
