¹锡安末后必为万国的中心（赛2:1-4）

¹And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mount of the house of Jehovah Is established above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the hills, And flowed unto it have peoples.

²必有多国的人前来说：“来吧！我们上耶和华的山，登雅各　神的殿；他必把他的道路指示我们，我们也要遵行他的道；因为教训必出于锡安。耶和华的话要来自耶路撒冷。

²And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

³世界和平“他要在多族中施行审判，为远方的强国断定是非。他们必把刀剑打成犁头，把矛枪打成镰刀；这国不举刀攻击那国，他们也不再学习战事。

³And He hath judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations afar off, They have beaten their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation lifteth not up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn war any more.

⁴各人都要坐在自己的葡萄树，和无花果树下，无人惊吓他们，因为万军之耶和华亲口说过了。

⁴And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts hath spoken.

⁵虽然，万民各奉自己神的名行事，我们却要永远奉耶和华我们　神的名而行。”

⁵For all the peoples do walk, Each in the name of its god — and we, We do walk in the name of Jehovah our God, To the age and for ever.

⁶被掳到各处的必重归故土耶和华说：“到那日，我必召聚瘸腿的，集合被赶散的，和我所苦待的。

⁶In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, I do gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom I have afflicted.

⁷我必使瘸腿的作余民；使软弱疲乏的成为强国；耶和华必在锡安山作王统治他们，从现在直到永远。

⁷And I have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And reigned hath Jehovah over them in mount Zion, From henceforth, and unto the age.

⁸你这羊群的守望楼啊！锡安女子的俄斐勒啊！从前的权柄，必归给你，就是耶路撒冷女子的国权，要归还给你。

⁸And thou, O tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, unto thee it cometh, Yea, come in hath the former rule, The kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.

⁹现在你为什么大声呼喊？难道你们中间没有君王吗？或是你的谋士灭亡了，以致疼痛抓紧你，好像临产的妇人呢？

⁹Now, why dost thou shout aloud? A king — is there none in thee? Hath thy counsellor perished, That taken hold of thee hath pain as a travailing woman?

¹⁰锡安的女子啊！你要疼痛劬劳，好像临产的妇人；因为现在你要从城里出来，住在田野，一定要到巴比伦去；在那里你要蒙拯救，在那里耶和华必救赎你，脱离仇敌的掌握。

¹⁰Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now, thou goest forth from the city, And thou hast dwelt in the field, And thou hast gone unto Babylon, There thou art delivered, There redeem thee doth Jehovah from the hand of thine enemies.

¹¹现在多国的民集合起来，攻击你，说：‘愿锡安被蹂躏，愿我们亲眼看见锡安遭报应。’”

¹¹And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: `Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.`

¹²锡安必得最后胜利但是，他们却不知道耶和华的意念，也不明白他的谋略；他收集他们，好像把禾捆收集到禾场一样。

¹²They have not known the thoughts of Jehovah, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He hath gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-floor.

¹³锡安的女子啊！起来踹谷吧！因为我必使你的角成为铁，使你的蹄成为铜；你必粉碎许多民族，把他们所得的，作为当灭之物献与耶和华，把他们的财宝献给全地的主。

¹³Arise, and thresh, O daughter of Zion, For thy horn I make iron, And thy hoofs I make brass, And thou hast beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to Jehovah their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
