Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
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, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,
2「耶和華曾向你們列祖大大發怒。
2“The LORD was very 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 tell them, the LORD of Armies says: ‘Return to me,’ says the LORD of Armies, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the LORD of Armies.
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。
4Don’t you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: The LORD of Armies says, ‘Return now from your evil ways and from your evil doings;’ but they didn’t hear nor listen to me, says 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 forever?
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 decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn’t they overtake your fathers? “Then they repented and said, ‘Just as the LORD of Armies determined to do to us, according to our ways and according to our practices, so he has 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:
7On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, 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。」
8“I had a vision in the night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.
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 I asked, ‘My lord, what are these?’” The angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you 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。」
10The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered, “They are the ones the LORD has sent to go back and forth 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。」
11They reported to the LORD’s angel who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked back and forth through the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and in peace.”
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 LORD’s angel replied, “O LORD of Armies, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?”
13耶和華就用美善的安慰話回答那與我說話的天使。
13The LORD answered the angel who talked with me with kind and 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 who talked with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies says: “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。
15I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity.”
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 the LORD says: “I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it,” says the LORD of Armies, “and a line shall be stretched out 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 。」
17“Proclaim further, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies says: “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem.”’”
18我舉目觀看,見有四角。
18I lifted up my 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。」
19I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” He answered 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。
20The 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。」
21Then I asked, “What are these coming to do?” He said, “These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
