King James Version with Apocrypha
1ダレイオス王の第四年、第九の月、すなわちキスレウの月の四日に、主の言葉がゼカリヤに臨んだ。
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 Chisleu;
2ベテルの人々は、シャレツェル、レゲム・メレク、およびその部下たちを遣わして、主の恵みを求めさせ、
2When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before the LORD ,
3万軍の主の家の祭司たちと預言者たちに尋ねさせた。「私はこれまで長年行ってきたように、第五の月に泣き、身を慎むべきでしょうか。」
3And to speak unto the priests which were in 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すると万軍の主の言葉が私に臨んだ。
4¶ Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
5「この地のすべての民と祭司たちに告げよ。『あなたがたがこの七十年間、第五の月と第七の月に断食して嘆いた時、本当に私のために断食したのか。まことに私のためだったのか。
5Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month , even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
6あなたがたが食べる時、自分たちのために食べ、飲む時、自分たちのために飲んでいるのではないか。
6And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves , and drink for yourselves ?
7エルサレムとその周囲の町々に人が住んで繁栄し、南の地と低地にも人が住んでいた時、主がかつての預言者たちを通して告げられたのは、これらの言葉ではないか。』」
7Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
8主の言葉がゼカリヤに臨んだ。
8¶ And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
9「万軍の主はこう言われる。『真実に基づいて裁き、互いに慈しみとあわれみを示せ。
9Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
10やもめ、みなしご、寄留者、貧しい者を虐げてはならない。心の中で、互いに悪を企んではならない。』
10And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11しかし彼らは聞くことを拒み、背を向け、耳をふさいで聞こうとしなかった。
11But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12彼らは、律法と、万軍の主がその霊によってかつての預言者たちを通して送られた言葉を聞かないように、その心を火打ち石のように堅くした。それゆえ、万軍の主から激しい怒りが下った。
12Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
13『私が呼んでも彼らが聞かなかったように、彼らが呼んでも私は聞かない』と万軍の主は言われた。
13Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
14『私は、彼らの知らなかったすべての国々の間に、つむじ風で彼らを散らした。その後、地は荒れ果て、行き来する者もいなくなった。彼らは麗しい地を荒れ果てさせた。』」
14But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
