撒迦利亞書 7
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1大流士 王第四年九月，就是基斯流月初四日，耶和華的話臨到 撒迦利亞 。
1And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chislev;
2那時 伯特利 人已經打發 沙利色 和 利堅米勒 ，並跟從他們的人，去懇求耶和華的恩，
2When Bethel-sarezer, and Regem-melech and his men, had sent to entreat the favour of the LORD,
3並問萬軍之耶和華殿中的祭司和先知說：「我歷年以來，在五月間哭泣齋戒，現在還當這樣行嗎？」
3and to speak unto the priests of the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying: 'Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?'
4萬軍之耶和華的話就臨到我說：
4Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying:
5「你要宣告國內的眾民和祭司，說：『你們這七十年，在五月、七月禁食悲哀，豈是絲毫向我禁食嗎？
5'Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying: When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, even these seventy years, did ye at all fast unto Me, even to Me?
6你們吃喝，不是為自己吃，為自己喝嗎？
6And when ye eat, and when ye drink, are ye not they that eat, and they that drink?
7當 耶路撒冷 和四圍的城邑有居民，正興盛，南地高原有人居住的時候，耶和華藉從前的先知所宣告的話，你們不 當聽 嗎？』」
7Should ye not hearken to the words which the LORD hath proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, and the South and the Lowland were inhabited?'
8耶和華的話又臨到 撒迦利亞 說：
8And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying:
9「萬軍之耶和華曾對 你們的列祖 如此說：『要按至理判斷，各人以慈愛憐憫弟兄。
9'Thus hath the LORD of hosts spoken, saying: Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassion every man to his brother;
10不可欺壓寡婦、孤兒、寄居的，和貧窮人。誰都不可心裏謀害弟兄。』」
10and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.
11他們卻不肯聽從，扭轉肩頭，塞耳不聽，
11But they refused to attend, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
12使心硬如金鋼石，不聽律法和萬軍之耶和華用靈藉從前的先知所說的話。故此，萬軍之耶和華大發烈怒。
12Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His spirit by the hand of the former prophets; therefore came there great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
13萬軍之耶和華說：「我曾呼喚他們，他們不聽；將來他們呼求我，我也不聽！
13And it came to pass that, as He called, and they would not hear; so they shall call, and I will not hear, said the LORD of hosts;
14我必以旋風吹散他們到素不認識的萬國中。這樣，他們的地就荒涼，甚至無人來往經過，因為他們使美好之地荒涼了。」
14but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned; for they laid the pleasant land desolate.'
