撒迦利亞書 7
1 達理阿王四年九月，即「基色婁」月四日，上主的話傳給匝加利亞。
And it was in year four of Darius the king it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah on [day] four of the month ninth in Kislev.
2 由貝特耳派遺了官員撒辣責爾和他的侍從去向上主請示，
And it had sent Beth-el Shar-ezer and Regem-Melech and men his to entreat [the] face of Yahweh.
3 去問上主殿裏的司祭和q們 2我是否在五月裏仍要哭泣和齋戒，像我多年以來所作的一樣﹖」
To say to the priests who [belonged] to [the] house of Yahweh of hosts and to the prophets saying ¿ will I weep in the month fifth will I consecrate myself? just as I have done this how many? years.
4 那時萬軍木的話傳給我說：
And it came [the] word of Yahweh of hosts to me saying.
5 「你向國全體民眾和司祭們說：你們在五月和七月齋戒哭泣，至今已七十年了，豈是為了我而齋戒嗎﹖
Say to all [the] people of the land and to the priests saying that you fasted and you mourned in the fifth [month] and in the seventh [month] and this seventy year[s] ¿ really did you fast for me me.
6 你們幾時吃喝，豈不是為你們自己吃，為你們自己喝嗎﹖
And if you eat and if you drink ¿ not [are] you the [ones who] eat and [are] you? the [ones who] drink.
7 難道你們不知道，當耶路撒冷還有人安居，她四週的城邑，南部平原也有人居住時，上主藉先知們所宣佈的訓令嗎﹖」
¿ Not [are] the words which he proclaimed Yahweh by [the] hand of the prophets former when was Jerusalem remaining and at ease and cities its around it and the Negev and the Shephelah [was] remaining.
8 那時，上主有話傳給匝加利亞說：
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah saying.
9 「萬軍的上主這樣說：你們應照公正裁判，以仁義和友愛彼此相待；
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts saying justice of faithfulness judge and loyalty and compassion do each with brother his.
10 不可欺壓寡婦和孤兒，外方人和貧窮人；不可心中圖謀惡事陷害人。
And [the] widow and [the] fatherless [the] sojourner and [the] poor may not you oppress and [the] harm of each brother his may not you plan in heart your.
11 但是你們不肯聽從，硬著頭頸，充耳不聞。
And they refused to pay attention and they gave a shoulder stubborn and ears their they made heavy from hearing.
12 他們使自己的心硬如金剛石，不聽從法律，和萬軍的上主以自己的神感動古先知們所發表的訓令，為此，萬軍的上主曾大發憤怒。
And heart their they made flint from hearing the law and the words which he had sent Yahweh of hosts by spirit his by [the] hand of the prophets former and it was wrath great from with Yahweh of hosts.
13 那麼，就如我呼喚時，你們不肯聽；同樣他們呼喊時，我也不肯聽──萬軍的上主說──
And it was just as he called and not they listened so they called and not I listened he says Yahweh of hosts.
14 因此，我把他們驅散到他們所不認識的各民族中，以致他們去後，國土荒廢，無人住來；他們竟使美好的土地變成了一片荒野。」
And I will storm away them to all the nations which not they have known them and the land it was desolate behind them from [one who] passes by and from [one who] returns and they made a land of desire into a waste.
