¹關於大馬士革的預言關於大馬士革的默示：“看哪！大馬士革快要被廢棄，不再是一個城市，它必變作廢墟。

¹The burden of Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.

²亞羅珥的城市必被撇棄，成為牧放羊群之處，羊群必在那裡躺臥，沒有人驚擾牠們。

²The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

³以法蓮的堡壘必失去，大馬士革的國權也必消逝；亞蘭的餘民必像以色列人的榮耀一般消滅。”這是萬軍之耶和華說的。

³The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” says Yahweh of Armies.

⁴“到那日，雅各的榮耀必衰落，他肥胖的身體必消瘦。

⁴“It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.

⁵就像收割的人收聚莊稼，用手割取穗子；又像人在利乏音谷，拾取遺落的穗子。

⁵It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.

⁶雖然其中有少許遺下的穗子，卻好像橄欖樹被打過一樣。在樹頂上，只剩下兩三個果子；在那本是多結果子的果樹枝上，只留下四五個果子。”這是耶和華以色列的　神說的。

⁶Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel.

⁷到那日，人必仰望他們的創造主，他們必親眼看見以色列的聖者。

⁷In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.

⁸他們必不仰望自己雙手所做的祭壇，也不再看著自己指頭所做的，無論是亞舍拉，或是香壇。

⁸They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the incense altars.

⁹到那日，他們那些因以色列人而撇棄的堅固城，必像樹林中和山頂上被撇棄的地方，這樣，地就荒涼了。

⁹In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places in the woods and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.

¹⁰忘記　神的結果因為你忘記了那拯救你的　神，又不記念那作你避難所的磐石，所以你雖然栽下佳美的樹秧子，種下異種的幼苗，

¹⁰For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.

¹¹又在你栽種的日子裡，細心地在周圍圈上籬笆，到早晨，又使你所栽種的開花，但在愁苦與極度傷痛的日子裡，所收割的就只有一小堆。

¹¹In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

¹²以色列的敵人受罰唉！許多民族在喧嘩，他們喧嚷好像海浪澎湃；列國在咆哮，他們吼叫，好像洪水奔流。

¹²Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!

¹³萬族怒號，好像眾水湧流，但　神必斥責他們，使他們遠遠逃跑；他們又被追趕，如同山上風前的糠秕，又像暴風前的塵土捲動。

¹³The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters: but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.

¹⁴在晚上有驚恐，未到早晨，他們就沒有了，這是那些搶奪我們的人所得的分，是那些掠劫我們的人應得的報應。

¹⁴At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
