撒迦利亞書 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1大流士 王 第二年八月，耶和華的話臨到 易多 的孫子、 比利家 的兒子先知 撒迦利亞 ，說：
1IN THE eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2「耶和華曾向你們列祖大大發怒。
2'The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
3所以你要對 以色列 人說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們要轉向我，我就轉向你們。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
3Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return unto Me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
4不要效法你們列祖。從前的先知呼叫他們說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：『你們要回頭離開你們的惡道惡行。』他們卻不聽，也不順從我。這是耶和華說的。
4Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor attend unto Me, saith the LORD.
5你們的列祖在哪裏呢？那些先知能永遠存活嗎？
5Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6只是我的言語和律例，就是所吩咐我僕人眾先知的，豈不臨到你們列祖嗎？他們就回頭，說：『萬軍之耶和華定意按我們的行動作為向我們怎樣行，他已照樣行了。』」
6But My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? so that they turned and said: Like as the LORD of hosts purposed to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath He dealt with us.'
7大流士 第二年十一月，就是細罷特月二十四日，耶和華的話臨到 易多 的孫子、 比利家 的兒子先知 撒迦利亞 ，說：
7Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying —
8「我夜間觀看，見一人騎着紅馬，站在窪地番石榴樹中間。在他身後又有紅馬、黃馬，和白馬。」
8I saw in the night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the bottom; and behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.
9我對與我說話的天使說：「主啊，這是甚麼意思？」他說：「我要指示你這是甚麼意思。」
9Then said I: 'O my lord, what are these?' And the angel that spoke with me said unto me: 'I will show thee what these are.'
10那站在番石榴樹中間的人說：「這是奉耶和華差遣在遍地走來走去的。」
10And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said: 'These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.'
11那些騎馬的對站在番石榴樹中間耶和華的使者說：「我們已在遍地走來走去，見全地都安息平靜。」
11And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said: 'We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.'
12於是，耶和華的使者說：「萬軍之耶和華啊，你惱恨 耶路撒冷 和 猶大 的城邑已經七十年，你不施憐憫要到幾時呢？」
12Then the angel of the LORD spoke and said: 'O LORD of hosts, how long wilt Thou not have compassion on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which Thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13耶和華就用美善的安慰話回答那與我說話的天使。
13And the LORD answered the angel that spoke with me with good words, even comforting words —
14與我說話的天使對我說：「你要宣告說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：我為 耶路撒冷 為 錫安 ，心裏極其火熱。
14so the angel that spoke with me said unto me: 'Proclaim thou, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy;
15我甚惱怒那安逸的列國，因我從前稍微惱怒 我民 ，他們就加害過分。
15and I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped for evil.
16所以耶和華如此說：現今我回到 耶路撒冷 ，仍施憐憫，我的殿必重建在其中，準繩必拉在 耶路撒冷 之上。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
16Therefore thus saith the LORD: I return to Jerusalem with compassions: My house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
17你要再宣告說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：我的城邑必再豐盛發達。耶和華必再安慰 錫安 ，揀選 耶路撒冷 。」
17Again, proclaim, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with prosperity; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.'
18我舉目觀看，見有四角。
18(2-1) And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19我就問與我說話的天使說：「這是甚麼意思？」他回答說：「這是打散 猶大 、 以色列 ，和 耶路撒冷 的角。」
19(2-2) And I said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are these?' And he said unto me: 'These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.'
20耶和華又指四個匠人給我看。
20(2-3) And the LORD showed me four craftsmen.
21我說：「他們來做甚麼呢？」他說：「這是打散 猶大 的角，使人不敢抬頭；但這些匠人來威嚇列國，打掉他們的角，就是舉起打散 猶大 地的角。」
21(2-4) Then said I: 'What come these to do?' And he spoke, saying: 'These — the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head — these then are come to frighten them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.'
