约珥书第2章

《圣经》约珥书-第2章

珥2:1 你们要在锡安吹角，在我圣山吹出大声。国中的居民都要发颤；因为耶和华的日子将到，已经临近。 (串)本章15耶4:5|民10:5,9|珥1:15俄1:15番1:14-15

†[吕]在锡安吹号角哦！在我的圣山大声吹哦！让国中的居民都战抖哦，因为永恒主的日子快到了，已经临近了。

†[思]你们要在熙雍吹起号角，在我的的圣山下吹起号筒！叫大地所有的居民战栗害怕，因为上主的日子来了，且已来近了。

†[当代]你们要在锡安、我的圣山上吹响警号，使全地的居民都战栗，因为上帝审判的日子近了。

†[新译]你们要在锡安吹号，并在我的圣山发出警讯，让国中所有的居民都战栗，因为耶和华的日子快到，必然临近了。

†[Wlb]吹角于锡安、示警于我圣山、境内居民、咸当战栗、盖耶和华之日将至、今伊迩矣、

†[Xdv]在锡安吹号吧！在上帝的圣山鸣钟吧！犹大的居民哪，要颤抖！上主的日子快到了。

†[Kjv]Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

†[Nkjv]Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand:

†[BBE]Let the horn be sounded in Zion, and a war-cry in my holy mountain; let all the people of the land be troubled: for the day of the Lord is coming;

†[GNT] Blow the trumpet; sound the alarm on Zion, God's sacred hill. Tremble, people of Judah! The day of the Lord is coming soon.

†[NIV]Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand-

本会注释　　锡安。既指耶路撒冷，也指耶路撒冷所在的山（见@诗48:2@注释）。
　　吹。1-11节进一步描述“蝗虫”所引起的灾难（见@珥1:4@注释）及其特征（珥2:4）。
　　角。希伯来语是shophar ，用公羊的角制成的喇叭，用于发信号（见本书卷三第39页）。
　　耶和华的日子。见@珥1:15@注释。由于耶和华的大日正迅速临近，宝贵的宽容时期剩下已经不多了，上帝的教会应当从灵性的昏睡中警醒，谦卑悔罪。许多锡安山上的人满足于自己的属灵造诣，自觉“富足，已经发了财，一样都不缺”（启3:17）。其他感觉缺乏的人，要么太懒散不愿意悔改，要么等待晚雨来弥补这种缺乏（见《给传道人的证言》507页）。这些人都需要锡安山的守望者吹角唤醒。现在是依然施恩的日子，正好进行彻底的悔改，洁净心灵中的一切污秽，使恩典在心中充分地工作。详见第14节注释。

珥2:2 那日是黑暗、幽冥、密云、乌黑的日子，好象晨光铺满山岭。有一队蝗虫（原文作民）又大又强；从来没有这样的，以后直到万代也必没有。 (串)摩5:18,20|本章5,11,25珥1:6|出10:14

†[吕]一个黑暗墨黑的日子，一个密云暗雾的日子，像乌黑（传统：晨曦。今改点母音译之）铺满着山岭的是一团队蝗虫、又大又强盛；从来没有这样的，以后也不会再有，直到万代万年。

†[思]那是一个阴霾昏暗的日子，是一个浓云漆黑的日子！一个庞大结盛的民族犹如曙光一样，散布在各山下；像这样的民族，是亘古以来从未有过，此后历尽万世万代，也不会再有。

†[当代]那是一个阴霾密布、天昏地暗的日子。有一队空前绝后、强盛无双的蝗虫大军来到，它们要像曙光一样布满山头。

†[新译]那日是黑暗幽冥的日子，是密云漆黑的日子。有一队众多强盛的民来到，好像晨光满布群山；这样的事从前没有发生过，以后直到万代，也不会发生。

†[Wlb]是日也、昏暗晦冥、密云深厚、有一族至、既大且强、势若晨光布于山上、自古迄今、未有若此者、历至万世亦无之、

†[Xdv]那是黑暗、阴森的日子，是乌云、暗雾的日子。那大队的蝗虫向前进，好像黑暗弥漫山岭。从前没有这种情景，以后也不会再有。

†[Kjv]A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations

†[Nkjv]A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, The like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them, Even for many successive

†[BBE]For a day of dark and deep shade is near, a day of cloud and black night: like a black cloud a great and strong people is covering the mountains; there has never been any like them and will not be after them again, from generation to generation.

†[GNT] It will be a dark and gloomy day, a black and cloudy day. The great army of locusts advances like darkness spreading over the mountains. There has never been anything like it, and there never will be again.

†[NIV]a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was of old nor ever will be in ages to come.

本会注释　　可以按寓意理解为灾难和绝望，或按字面理解为虫灾所引起的黑暗，如埃及所曾遭遇到的（出10:15）。珥2:31节提到了日头变黑。
　　晨光。希伯来语是shachar ，意为“天亮前微红的光”。寓指入侵的“蝗虫”军队布满天下。
　　有一队蝗虫（原文作民）又大又强。见@珥1:6@注释。
　　从来没有。见@珥1:2@注释。

珥2:3 它们前面如火烧灭，后面如火焰烧尽。未到以前，地如伊甸园；过去以后，成了荒凉的旷野；没有一样能躲避它们的。 (串)珥1:19-20|创2:8;13:10赛51:3|亚7:14

†[吕]它们前面像火烧灭着，它们过后像火焰烧过；未到以前、地像伊甸园，过去以后、地成了荒凉旷野；唉阿，没有一样能逃脱了它们的。

†[思]在这的前面，有吞灭的烈火，后面，有燃烧的火；这民族未来以前，大地有如伊甸乐园，既来以后，却成了荒凉的；什么也没有留下。

†[当代]它们好像一团熊熊烈火，把美得像伊甸园一样的土地扫荡一空，使它变成一片荒芜，地上的一切都逃不过这一场浩劫。

†[新译]在他们前面有吞灭的火，在他们后面有燃烧的火焰；他们未到以前，大地像伊甸园，他们过去以后，大地成了荒凉的旷野，没有一样能逃避他们的。

†[Wlb]火毁其前、焰焚其后、其前之地、若伊甸园、其后之地、为荒凉之野、无有得免者、

†[Xdv]蝗虫像火一样，吃尽所有植物。未到之前土地像伊甸园，过去以后变成荒凉的旷野；它们什么都不放过。

†[Kjv]A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

†[Nkjv]A fire devours before them, And behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, And behind them a desolate wilderness; Surely nothing shall escape them.

†[BBE]Before them fire sends destruction, and after them flame is burning: the land is like the garden of Eden before them, and after them an unpeopled waste; truly, nothing has been kept safe from them.

†[GNT] Like fire they eat up the plants. In front of them the land is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them it is a barren desert. Nothing escapes them.

†[NIV]Before them fire devours, behind them a flame blazes. Before them the land is like the garden of Eden, behind them, a desert waste- nothing escapes them.

本会注释　　如火。蝗虫所过之处，好象被火烧光。
　　伊甸园。象征出产丰富（创2:8）。

珥2:4 它们的形状如马，奔跑如马兵。 (串)启9:7

†[吕]它们的形状像马的形状；骏马怎样跑，它们也怎样奔跑。

†[思]你们的形状有如马的形状，它们奔驰有如战争马．

†[当代]它们像快速奔驰的战马，

†[新译]他们的形状像马的形状，战马怎样奔跑，他们也怎样奔跑。

†[Wlb]其状若马、疾行若骑、

†[Xdv]它们看来像马，奔跑像战马。

†[Kjv]The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

†[Nkjv]Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like swift steeds, so they run.

†[BBE]Their form is like the form of horses, and they are running like war-horses.

†[GNT] They look like horses; they run like war-horses.

†[NIV]They have the appearance of horses; they gallop along like cavalry.

本会注释　　如马。蝗虫的头像马。见启9:7节，用蝗虫比喻前进的骑兵。
　　马兵。希伯来语是parashim ，也指快跑的马。蝗虫动作迅速，像奔跑中的马。见@出10:4-15@注释。

珥2:5 在山顶蹦跳的响声如车辆的响声，又如火焰烧碎秸的响声，好象强盛的民摆阵预备打仗。 (串)启9:9|本章2

†[吕]它们在山顶蹦跳的声音正如车辆的响声，正如火焰焚烧碎秸的响声，正如强盛的军队摆好了阵以备争战。

†[思]它们跳跃，发出有如战车越过山巅的辚辚声，发出有如烈火焚烧稻草的爆裂声，活像一支严阵以待的强大军旅。

†[当代]声势浩大地在山岭上跳跃奔腾，气势就像烈火卷噬禾秸，又像强兵列阵备战一样。

†[新译]他们在群山顶上跳跃的声音，如战车的响声，又如火焰吞灭碎秸的响声，像强盛的民摆阵预备作战。

†[Wlb]跃于山巅、其声若车轰轰、若火焚草芥之声、若强民列陈以战、

†[Xdv]它们在山顶跳跃的响声，正像战车奔驰隆隆，又像干草着火啪有声。它们队伍整齐，像预备上阵的大军。

†[Kjv]Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

†[Nkjv]With a noise like chariots Over mountaintops they leap, Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, Like a strong people set in battle array.

†[BBE]Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight.

†[GNT] As they leap on the tops of the mountains, they rattle like chariots; they crackle like dry grass on fire. They are lined up like a great army ready for battle.

†[NIV]With a noise like that of chariots they leap over the mountaintops, like a crackling fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army drawn up for battle.

本会注释　　车辆。见第4节注释。参启9:9节。蝗虫群前进的声音比作车辆前进的声音。
　　如火焰烧碎秸。这是蝗虫袭击和吞食植物的声音。

珥2:6 它们一来，众民伤恸，脸都变色。 (串)耶8:21哀4:8鸿2:10

†[吕]在它们面前、众族人都翻腾难过，大家脸都失色发暗。

†[思]万民一见，为之惶恐，人人脸面为之失色。

†[当代]人们知道它们要来，就惊惶痛苦。

†[新译]在他们面前，万民苦恼，人人脸红耳赤。

†[Wlb]诸民见之、惨怛变色、

†[Xdv]它们一到，人人惊惶失措，脸色惨白。

†[Kjv]Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

†[Nkjv]Before them the people writhe in pain; All faces are drained of color.

†[BBE]At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.

†[GNT] As they approach, everyone is terrified; every face turns pale.

†[NIV]At the sight of them, nations are in anguish; every face turns pale.

本会注释　　变色。希伯来语是pa'rur ，按一些权威人士的解释，指激动时的表情。还有人认为指蝗虫所引起的恐怖使脸色变得苍白。七十士译本译为“每张脸都黑如锅”。

珥2:7 它们如勇士奔跑，象战士爬城；各都步行，不乱队伍。

†[吕]它们奔跑如勇士，像战士爬上城墙；各按自己的路前进，并不偏歪（传统：取抵押出借。今仿七十子叙利亚拉丁通俗译之）路线。

†[思]们们疾进有如勇士，攀登城墙有如战士，各走自己的路线，从不混乱自己的行列。

†[当代]它们像勇士疾行；攀登城墙，像矫捷的战士。它们有条不紊地向前推进，势如破竹，无坚不摧。

†[新译]他们奔跑像勇士，又像战士爬上城墙；他们各按自己的路前行，并不偏离路线。

†[Wlb]彼疾趋若勇士、攀城若战士、各循其道、不失行伍、

†[Xdv]它们像勇士攻打；它们像战士爬墙。它们勇往直前，从不改变方向，

†[Kjv]They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

†[Nkjv]They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks.

†[BBE]They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken.

†[GNT] They attack like warriors; they climb the walls like soldiers. They all keep marching straight ahead and do not change direction

†[NIV]They charge like warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. They all march in line, not swerving from their course.

本会注释　　把蝗虫被作训练有素，克服一切障碍的军队（见箴30:27）。

珥2:8 彼此并不拥挤，向前各行其路，直闯兵器，不偏左右。

†[吕]彼此并不拥挤，各按自己道儿前进；直向兵器闯去，并不折断进路。

†[思]它们各不相挤，各循自己的路线进行；既使冲锋陷阵，仍不散乱。

†[当代]－

†[新译]他们彼此不拥挤，各按自己的道前行；甚至他们持着兵器跌倒，也不会被剪除。

†[Wlb]不相拥挤、各行其径、虽遭锋刃、而不辟易、

†[Xdv]也不彼此拥挤。它们成群穿过防线，谁都无法抵挡。

†[Kjv]Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

†[Nkjv]They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, They are not cut down.

†[BBE]No one is pushing against another; everyone goes straight on his way: bursting through the sword points, their order is not broken.

†[GNT] or get in each other's way. They swarm through defenses, and nothing can stop them.

†[NIV]They do not jostle each other; each marches straight ahead. They plunge through defenses without breaking ranks.

本会注释　　拥挤。直译为“不推挤自己的兄弟”。
　　直闯兵器。或“扑向（或扑入）标枪”。任何武器都伤不了他们，阻止他们前进。

珥2:9 它们蹦上城，蹿上墙，爬上房屋，进入窗户如同盗贼。 (串)约10:1

†[吕]它们蹦撞着城，窜上了墙，爬进房屋，像盗贼由窗户进去。

†[思]它们进攻城邑，奔上城墙壁，攀登屋顶，闯进窗户，一个盗贼一样。

†[当代]它们猛攻城楼，攀爬高墙，又像盗贼一样，从窗口闯进屋子里。

†[新译]他们冲入城镇，奔上城墙，爬进房屋，像盗贼一样从窗户爬进去。

†[Wlb]冲突于邑、奔驰于垣、攀椽于屋、由窗而入、有如盗贼、

†[Xdv]它们攻进城市，攀登城墙，爬上屋顶，像小偷破窗而入。

†[Kjv]They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

†[Nkjv]They run to and fro in the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the houses, They enter at the windows like a thief.

†[BBE]They make a rush on the town, running on the wall; they go up into the houses and in through the windows like a thief.

†[GNT] They rush against the city; they run over the walls; they climb up the houses and go in through the windows like thieves.

†[NIV]They rush upon the city; they run along the wall. They climb into the houses; like thieves they enter through the windows.

本会注释　　蹦上城。希伯来语是shaqaq（冲去）。可译为：“他们向城冲去。”
　　进入窗户。古时的窗户不是玻璃的，所以入侵的蝗虫没有障碍。

珥2:10 它们一来，地震天动，日月昏暗，星宿无光。 (串)诗18:7|本章31赛13:10结32:7

†[吕]它们一来，地震动，天摇撼，日月昏暗，星辰收回其光辉。

†[思]在它们面前，大地为之震荡，诸天为之摇动，星辰为之失光。

†[当代]它们所到之处都被弄得天翻地覆，日月昏暗，星宿无光。

†[新译]在他们面前，大地震动，诸天摇撼，日月昏暗，星星无光。

†[Wlb]其至也、地震天动、日月晦冥、星辰敛曜、

†[Xdv]它们一到，大地震动，天空颤抖，太阳、月亮都昏暗，星星也不再发光。

†[Kjv]The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

†[Nkjv]The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, And the stars diminish their brightness.

†[BBE]The earth is troubled before them and the heavens are shaking: the sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining:

†[GNT] The earth shakes as they advance; the sky trembles. The sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars no longer shine.

†[NIV]Before them the earth shakes, the sky trembles, the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars no longer shine.

本会注释　　地震天动。要与第11节联系起来理解。这里描述了耶和华大日时的自然界现象，不可能是蝗虫所造成的，除非用的是夸张的语言。虫灾的生动描述只是用来说明耶和华的日子所降到犹大的灾罚（见@珥1:4,15@注释）。
　　日月昏暗。参赛13:9-11，摩8:9。耶稣曾说明这些自然界的现象将会出现在耶和华最后的大日（太24:29,30）。约珥所聚焦的耶和华大日，似乎已临到以色列人（见@珥1:4@注释）。耶稣所解释的，则是耶和华的日子将会如何来临。因为上帝的旨意正在通过教会实现（见本书第35、36页）。

珥2:11 耶和华在他军旅前发声，他的队伍甚大；成就他命的是强盛者。因为耶和华的日子大而可畏，谁能当得起呢？ (串)耶25:30珥3:16摩1:2|耶50:34启18:8|耶30:7摩5:18番1:15|民24:23玛3:2

†[吕]永恒主在他的军队前头发出声音；他的营兵极大；那执行他命令的是强盛者。永恒主的日子很大；极其可畏惧：谁能担受得起呢？

†[思]上主在自己的军旅散发出了自己的声音，的队伍极其庞大，执行命令的，又是强而有力的；上主的一个子实在伟大，极甚可怕：有谁能抵得住？

†[当代]上帝向自己强大的军队发号施令，大军就都听命而行。上帝审判的日子实在伟大可畏，哪一个能抵受得了呢？

†[新译]耶和华在他的军队前头发出声音；他的队伍极大，成就他话语的，是强盛的人。耶和华的日子伟大，非常可畏，谁能忍受得住呢？

†[Wlb]耶和华发声于其军前、其营甚大、行其命者甚强、耶和华之日大而可畏、孰能当之、

†[Xdv]上主命令他的军队。他的军力强盛，应召的队伍庞大。上主审判的日子多么可怕！谁担当得起呢？

†[Kjv]And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

†[Nkjv]The LORD gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?

†[BBE]And the Lord is thundering before his forces; for very great is his army; for he is strong who gives effect to his word: for the day of the Lord is great and greatly to be feared, and who has strength against it?

†[GNT] The Lord thunders commands to his army. The troops that obey him are many and mighty. How terrible is the day of the Lord! Who will survive it?

†[NIV]The Lord thunders at the head of his army; his forces are beyond number, and mighty are those who obey his command. The day of the Lord is great; it is dreadful. Who can endure it?

本会注释　　虫灾的解释，部分取决于《约珥书》年代的确定（见本书第937页）。如果把《约珥书》的写作推定于约西亚时代（王下22；23:1-30），那对于虫灾的生动描述，就是预言巴比伦的入侵。希西家曾得到这方面的警告（王下20:16-18）。约珥就成了哈巴谷和西番雅的同时代人。他们也警告过迫近的入侵（哈1:6；番1章）。西番雅所描述耶和华的日子和呼吁悔罪的用语，与《约珥书》相似（番1:14,15；2:1-3）。
　　“军旅”一词，可以与耶利米关于巴比伦的话对照：“你是我争战的斧子和打仗的兵器。我要用你打碎列国，用你毁灭列邦。”（耶51:20）

珥2:12 耶和华说：虽然如此，你们应当禁食、哭泣、悲哀，一心归向我。 (串)耶4:1何12:6;14:1

†[吕]永恒主发神喻说：“如今虽如此，你们还要全心全意来归向我，以禁食哀哭及号啕来返回。

†[思]至少现在──上主的断语──你们应全心归向我，禁食，哭泣，悲哀！

†[当代]然而，上帝仍然说：“你们应当赶快回转、归向我，为自己的罪禁食、哭泣和悔过。”

†[新译]耶和华说：“现在虽然如此，你们仍要全心全意，以禁食、哭泣、哀号，归向我。”

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、尔其专心归我、禁食、哭泣、悲哀、

†[Xdv]上主说：即使现在，你们仍然可以禁食、哭泣、哀号，诚心悔改，归向我。

†[Kjv]Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

†[Nkjv]"Now, therefore," says the LORD, "Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning."

†[BBE]But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:

†[GNT] "But even now," says the Lord, "repent sincerely and return to me with fasting and weeping and mourning.

†[NIV]Even now," declares the Lord , "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning."

本会注释　　归向。希伯来语是shub ，意为“回归”。
　　一心。参申4:29；耶29:11-14。只有真正悔罪，才能避免迫近的灾罚。

珥2:13 你们要撕裂心肠，不撕裂衣服。归向耶和华你们的上帝；因为他有恩典，有怜悯，不轻易发怒，有丰盛的慈爱，并且后悔不降所说的灾。 (串)诗34:18;51:17|创37:34撒下1:11伯1:20|出34:6诗86:15拿4:2

†[吕]你们要撕裂的是心，倒不是衣服。”要回归永恒主你们的上帝；因为他有恩惠有怜悯，他不轻易发怒，而有丰盛的坚爱，他并且能改变心意、不降灾祸。

†[思]应撕裂的，是你们的心，而不是你们的衣服；你们应归向上主你们的天主．因为宽仁慈悲，迟于发怒，富于慈爱，常懊悔降灾。

†[当代]要悔改的是你们的内心，不是你们的外表。归向主你们的上帝吧，祂有恩惠和怜悯，不轻易发怒，又有丰盛的慈爱，愿意随时收回成命，不降灾祸。

†[新译]你们要撕裂你们的心肠，不要撕裂你们的衣服。并要归向耶和华你们的　神，因为他有恩典有怜悯，不轻易发怒，并且有丰盛的慈爱，随时转意不降灾祸。

†[Wlb]当裂乃心、毋裂乃衣、归尔上帝耶和华、盖彼仁慈矜悯、迟于发怒、富有恩惠、回意不降厥灾、

†[Xdv]光撕裂衣服毫无用处；要诚心悲伤悔罪。归向主──你们的上帝吧！他有恩典，充满怜悯；他不轻易发怒，有丰盛的慈爱；他随时愿意饶恕。

†[Kjv]And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

†[Nkjv]So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.

†[BBE]Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.

†[GNT] Let your broken heart show your sorrow; tearing your clothes is not enough." Come back to the Lord your God. He is kind and full of mercy; he is patient and keeps his promise; he is always ready to forgive and not punish.

†[NIV]Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

本会注释　　你们要撕裂心肠。犹太人撕裂衣服是表示极为伤心，说明他遭遇了可怕的灾难（创37:34；利13:45；代下34:27；耶36:24）。但也有可能这种悲伤的外表并不说明他内心有悲痛。所以吩咐百姓要避免虚假，而撕裂心肠。
　　有恩典、有怜悯。见出34:6,7；尼9:17。
　　后悔不降所说的灾。关于上帝的后悔，见@创6:6@注释，撒上15:11；又见《先祖与先知》630页。如果在品格上有了所要求的改变，责罚就没有必要了（见耶26:3；拿4:2）。祈祷并不会改变上帝的意念。“在祂并没有改变，也没有转动的影儿。”（雅1:17）但是祈祷会改变恳求者自己（见@但10:13@注释）。一旦应允祈祷的条件达到了，上帝就会赐下丰富的福气。

珥2:14 或者他转意后悔，留下余福，就是留下献给耶和华你们上帝的素祭和奠祭，也未可知。 (串)撒下12:22王下19:4耶26:3|赛65:8该2:19|珥1:9,13

†[吕]或者他能回转、改变心意，留下余剩的祝福，留下献素祭奠祭给永恒主你们的上帝的机会、也未可知。

†[思]有谁知道，也许会转意后悔，在这场灾祸后，给你们留下祝福，好使你们能给上主你们的天主献上素祭和奠祭。

†[当代]有谁能说祂不会收回灾祸、赐下恩典呢？也许祂真的回心转意，使你们可以像从前一样献上各种祭物呢？

†[新译]有谁知道或许他会转意，并且施慈爱，留下余福，就是留下献给耶和华你们的　神的素祭和奠祭。

†[Wlb]彼或回心转意、遗福于后、以为素祭灌祭、奉于尔上帝耶和华、亦未可知、

†[Xdv]也许主──你们的上帝会改变主意，丰丰富富地赐福给你们；那时你们就能向他献上五谷、美酒。

†[Kjv]Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

†[Nkjv]Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him-- A grain offering and a drink offering For the LORD your God?

本会注释　　只有上帝才能决定是否需要责罚。悔罪的人可以确信，即使他内心改变了，仍有责罚，这也是为了他的益处（见来12:5-11）。
　　约珥悔罪的呼吁并没有减弱其力量，因为这个注定遭劫的世界很快就要临到耶和华可怕的大日（见《善恶之争》第311页；《证言》第六卷第408、409页）。这个呼吁有两方面的目的：一，呼吁世人放弃愚昧和罪孽，接受主耶稣基督为赐给人类的唯一得救之法（徒4:12）；二，呼吁不冷不热的信徒（启3:16）从灵性上的昏睡中苏醒，确保自己的得救。详见第1节注释。

怀爱伦注释　　见怀爱伦注释-|e启18:1|
本会注释　　你们要快乐。本节原指充足的雨水。早雨降于秋季，促使种子萌芽；晚雨降于春天，帮助农作物成熟（见本书卷二第109页）。基督教会用雨代表圣灵的工作（《给传道者的证言》第506页，见下文）。
　　秋雨（早雨）。希伯来语是moreh 。直译是“教师”。参箴5:13节和赛30:20。moreh 的词根是yarah ，意为“引导”、“教导”。yarah 也是torah 的词根，在旧约中一般指“法则”（见@箴3:1@注释）。许多学者赞成把这里译为“教师”。其它人则认为依据上下文，应为“秋雨”。希伯来语的“秋雨”是yoreh，其词根是rawah（渗透），而不是moreh 。《约珥书》的这一节是例外。
　　合宜的。希伯来语是lisedaqah ，直译为“与公义有关”，或“为了公义”。“公义”（sedaqah ）在旧约中出现150多次，但均无我们一般所理解的“合宜”之意，除非这是个例外。结果“合宜的秋雨”就有了各种解释性。英RSV版为“维护你的早雨”；还有“公义的雨”、“称义的雨”，或“祂的公义使祂赐予的早雨”。另一方面，如果把“秋雨”理解为“教师”（见上文“秋雨”的注释），如塔古姆亚兰文译本和武加大拉丁文译本，就能按正常的含义理解“公义”；这个词组就可译为“公义的教师”。有些犹太注释者认为这是指弥赛亚。基督教注释家分别把“教师”解释为理想的教师约珥，弥赛亚，摩西和先知们的教训。
　　一些复临派解经家，把这一节用于基督教会，赋予“公义的教师”特殊的意义。由于“晚雨”就是“大声呼喊”的时候（见《善恶之争》611页；参《早期著作》71页）。他们把“公义的教师”解释为有关基督公义的信息在这时要特别显著地传扬。“基督公义的信息要传遍天涯海角，为主预备道路。这是上帝的荣耀，标志着第三位天使工作的结束”（《证言》卷六19页，参《给传道人的证言》89-94页）。
　　甘霖。希伯来语是geshem ，往往指暴雨，或倾盆大雨。
　　秋雨，春雨。“秋雨”的原文是moreh ，如上文。但有34份希伯来语手稿这里用的是yoreh ，系表示早雨的常用词。故这里指的是“早雨”。
　　在基督教会，早雨寓指五旬节圣灵的沛降，而晚雨则代表圣灵的最后倾降，导致庄稼的成熟（《善恶之争》第611页；参《使徒行述》第54、55页）。“在福音的大工结束的时候，上帝大能的显示绝不亚于它开始的时候”（《善恶之争》第611页）。
　　早雨和晚雨也寓指基督徒个人的经验。“圣灵的赐予，是要推进属灵生长的进程，从一个阶段到另一个阶段。庄稼的成熟代表上帝的恩典在人心中工作的结束”（《给传道人的证言》第506页）必须先有早雨的工作，晚雨才发生效果。凡愿分享“安舒”的人，必须“在克服一切围困”（《早期著作》71页）。
　　晚雨给“第三位天使的大呼声带来力量”（《早期著作》86页），“预备教会迎接人子的来临”（《使徒行述》55页），使“圣徒在最后七灾倾降的时候得以站立”（《早期著作》第86页）。它鼓励诚实的人接受真理（《早期著作》271页）。

†[NIV]The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

本会注释　　禾场。希伯来语是goranoth（打谷场）。第24-27节描写充裕的雨水给干旱荒芜的土地带来生机勃勃的效应。第24节与珥1:10-12节形成鲜明的对照。
　　酒醡。希伯来语是yeqabim （酒醡）。

†[Nkjv]You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.

†[BBE]You will have food in full measure, and give praise to the name of the Lord your God, who has done wonders for you:

†[GNT] Now you will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied. You will praise the Lord your God, who has done wonderful things for you. My people will never be despised again.

†[NIV]You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed.

本会注释　　多吃。与原先的状态形成鲜明的对比（珥1:16,17）。
　　赞美。那些分享复兴的人将表现赞美和感恩的精神。他们不是赞美自己，而是赞美施行神奇拯救的上帝。天国的圣歌回响应着对上帝的赞美和感恩（见启7:11,12；参启5:13）。

珥2:27 你们必知道我是在以色列中间，又知道我是耶和华你们的上帝；在我以外并无别神。我的百姓必永远不至羞愧。 (串)利26:11-12结37:26-28|赛45:5,21-22珥3:17

†[吕]你们必知道是我在以色列中间，必知道我永恒主是你们的上帝，我以外并没有别的神：我的人民必永远不失望。

†[思]你们将会知道：我是在以色列中间，我是上主你们的天主，此外再没有别的神；而我的百姓永不再蒙受羞辱。

†[当代]这样，你们就知道我跟以色列人在一起，又知道我是主你们的上帝。除了我以外，再没有别的上帝，我的子民是永远不会再蒙羞受辱的。”

†[新译]这样，你们必知道我是在以色列中间，又知道我是耶和华你们的　神，除了我再没有别的神。我的子民必永远不会羞愧。

†[Wlb]尔则知我在以色列中为尔之上帝耶和华、此外无他、我民永不羞愧、

†[Xdv]以色列啊，那时你们就知道我在你们当中；我是上主你们的上帝；除了我没有别的。我的子民永不再被轻视。

†[Kjv]And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

†[Nkjv]Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the LORD your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame.

†[BBE]And you will be certain that I am in Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other: and my people will never be shamed.

†[GNT] Then, Israel, you will know that I am among you and that I, the Lord, am your God and there is no other. My people will never be despised again.

†[NIV]Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the Lord your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed.

本会注释　　上帝复兴以色列的奇迹，向那些认为上帝已抛弃祂子民的人证明祂的确是为了他们的益处而工作的。即使在降灾时，上帝也本着祂的怜恤施加影响，造成非常急需的悔罪和改革。一些人曾把敌人的成功解释为外邦的神比耶和华更强。以色列战胜仇敌，使大家都知道耶和华的确是神，并且“没有别神”。

珥2:28 以后，我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。你们的儿女要说预言；你们的老年人要做异梦，少年人要见异象。 (串)赛44:3结39:29徒2:17|赛54:13徒21:9

†[吕]（希伯来经卷作珥3：1）“日后我必将我的灵倾注于一切血肉之人；你们的儿女就必说豫言，你们的老年人就作异梦，你们的少年人就见异象。

†[思]此后──上主的断语──我要将我的神倾注在一切有血肉的人身上：你们的儿子们和你们的女儿们要说预言，你们的老人要人要看梦境，你们的青年要见神视；

†[当代]“我要把我的灵浇灌所有的人；你们的儿女要说预言，青年人要见异象，老年人要做奇梦。

†[新译]“以后，我要把我的灵浇灌所有的人。你们的儿女要说预言，你们的老年人要作异梦，你们的少年人要见异象。

†[Wlb]厥后、我将以我神、注于凡有血气者、尔之子女将预言、尔之老者将得梦、尔之幼者见异象、

†[Xdv]以后，我要把我的灵倾注给每一个人：你们的儿女要宣告我的信息；你们的老年人要做奇异的梦；你们的年轻人要看见异象。

†[Kjv]And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

†[Nkjv]"And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.

　　更确切地应验──如果约珥的预言在使徒时代部分的应验了，而我们生活在这时代对于上帝的子民更其确切地显明了衪必将自己的灵浇灌在衪子民身上，以便使他们成为道德黑暗中的光，而这大光必反射在世界各个地方，我们的信心能以增强，而上帝也大力地与衪的子民一起工作（1908.49号手稿）

珥2:29 在那些日子，我要将我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女。 (串)亚12:10约7:39|林前12:13加3:28西3:11

†[吕]连仆人和使女、当那些日子、我也必将我的灵倾注于他们。

†[思]在那些日子，甚至在奴仆和婢女身上，我也要倾注我的神。

†[当代]那时，我还要把我的灵浇灌在我的仆人和使女身上。

†[新译]在那些日子，我也要把我的灵浇灌我的仆人和婢女。

†[Wlb]是日也、我将以我神、注于仆婢、

†[Xdv]我甚至要把我的灵倾注给奴仆和使女。

†[Kjv]And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

†[GNT] At that time I will pour out my Spirit even on servants, both men and women.

†[NIV]Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

本会注释　　以后。希伯来语是'achare-ken（此后）。这一用语的时间是不确定的。上帝计划赐给复兴的以色列这里所描述的属灵福气（见@结39:29@注释）。由于百姓的失败和犹太民族的拒绝（见本书第33页），应许没有实现在属世的以色列人身上。这些应许转给了属灵的以色列人。彼得把五旬节的事件说成是约珥预言的部分实现（徒2:16-21）。彼得引用的是“在末后的日子”，而不是“以后”（第17节）。
　　浇灌凡有血气的。列举不同年龄享受属灵福气的人，是为了进一步强调上述说法。为奴的和自由的都要接受圣灵。根据上下文，这里不仅指接受圣灵带来悔改和人生的改变，还指圣灵的特殊浇灌带来超自然的恩赐，比如说预言。在五旬节的日子里，使徒“被圣灵充满，按着（圣）灵所赐的口才”（徒2:4）。彼得宣称“这正是先知约珥所说的”（徒2:16）。
　　在早期教会里，“（圣）灵显在各人身上，是叫人得益处”（林前12:7）。出现许多不同的恩赐的，如“智慧的言语”，“知识的言语”，“信心”，“医病”，“行异能”，“作先知”，“辨别诸灵”，“说方言”和“翻方言”（林前12:8-10）。
　　五旬节的事件只不过是《约珥书》预言的部分实现。这个预言将要“在福音工作结束时，随着上帝恩典的彰显而完全地应验”（《善恶之争》第九章）。
　　在希伯来语圣经里，第28-32节为《约珥书》第三章，而现在的《约珥书》第三章则为希伯来语圣经的《约珥书》第四章。
　　作异梦。关于“梦”和“异象”，见@撒上3:1@注释；参民12:6节。

珥2:30 “在天上地下，我要显出奇事，有血，有火，有烟柱。 (串)路21:11

†[吕]“在天上在地上我必显出奇事，有血、有火、有烟柱；

†[思]我要在上天下地显示奇异的徵兆：血、火和烟柱。

†[当代]我要在天上和地下用血、火和烟云施行奇事。

†[新译]我要在天上地下显出神迹奇事，有血、有火、有烟柱。

†[Wlb]我将显奇事于上天下地、若血、若火、若烟柱、

†[Xdv]我要在天上地下显神迹，有血，有火，有浓烟。

†[Kjv]And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

†[Nkjv]"And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

†[BBE]And I will let wonders be seen in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

†[GNT] "I will give warnings of that day in the sky and on the earth; there will be bloodshed, fire, and clouds of smoke.

†[NIV]I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

珥2:31 日头要变为黑暗，月亮要变为血，这都在耶和华大而可畏的日子未到以前。 (串)本章10赛13:10珥3:15太24:29可13:24|玛4:5

†[吕]日头必变为黑暗，月亮必变为血色，在永恒主大而可畏惧的日子未到以前。

†[思]在上主伟大可畏的日子来临以前，太阳要变为昏暗，月亮要变成血红。

†[当代]在主大施惩罚的日子没有来到以前，太阳要变得昏暗，月亮也要变成血红。

†[BBE]The sun will be made dark and the moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord comes, a day to be feared.

†[GNT] The sun will be darkened, and the moon will turn red as blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.

†[NIV]The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord .

本会注释　　日头要变为黑暗。关于这个预言在基督复临前的实现，见@太24:29@注释；又见《善恶之争》第308页。
　　耶和华的日子。见@珥1:15@注释。

珥2:32 到那时候，凡求告耶和华名的就必得救；因为照耶和华所说的，在锡安山，耶路撒冷必有逃脱的人，在剩下的人中必有耶和华所召的。” (串)罗10:13|赛46:13;59:20俄1:17|赛11:11,16耶31:7弥4:7;5:3,7-8

†[吕]到那凡呼求耶和华永恒主之名的必得逃脱；因为在锡安山在耶路撒冷照永恒主所说的、必有逃脱的人，在剩下的人之中必有永恒主所呼召的。

†[思]将来，凡呼号上主名号的人，必然获救，因为如上主所说，在熙雍山，在耶路撒冷必有救援，必有上主召选的劫后馀生。

†[当代]那时候，凡求告主名的，就必得救；因为照主所应允的，在锡安山和耶路撒冷必有逃脱灾难的人；在剩下的人中，必有主所选召的。”

†[新译]那时，求告耶和华的名的，都必得救；因为正如耶和华所说的，在锡安山和耶路撒冷必有得救的人，在劫后余生的人中，必有耶和华所呼召的。”（本章第28-32节在《马索拉抄本》为3:1-5）

†[Wlb]凡吁耶和华之名者、必得拯救、盖依耶和华之言、在锡安山耶路撒冷、将有逃脱者、在遗民中、必有耶和华所召者也、

†[Xdv]凡呼求上主的名的人都必然得救。正如上主所说：在耶路撒冷圣山上将有逃脱的人；我所拣选的人必定存活。

†[Kjv]And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

†[Nkjv]And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.

†[BBE]And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.

†[GNT] But all who ask the Lord for help will be saved. As the Lord has said, "Some in Jerusalem will escape; those whom I choose will survive.' "

†[NIV]And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

本会注释　　凡求告。上帝原计划让以色列的余民通过大规模的布道工作，把认识真神的知识和祂的救恩传给不认识祂的国家。由于他们的失败，这项工作转给了基督教会（见第35、36页）。
　　剩下的人。希伯来语是seridim ，其词根是sarad（逃跑）。所以意思是“逃跑者”，“幸存者”。“剩下的人”的这一原文只出现在这里和赛1:9。旧约表达“剩下的人”的常用词根是sha'ar（剩下）。
