撒迦利亞書 8
1 又有萬軍上主的話：
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came [to me], saying,
2 萬軍的上主這樣說：「我以極度的妒愛，愛著熙雍，為了她我發了很大的妒恨。
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.
3 上主這樣說：我要返回熙雍，住在耶路撒冷；耶路撒冷將稱為『忠城』，萬軍上主的山將稱為『聖山』」。
Thus saith Jehovah: I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth; and the mountain of Jehovah of hosts, The holy mountain.
4 萬軍的上主這樣說：「將有老夫老婦坐在耶路撒冷各街市上，每人因年高老邁，手中扶著拐杖；
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
5 城裏街市上，都要滿了男女兒童，在街市上遊戲。
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6 萬軍的上主這樣到那些時日，這事在這百姓眼中是件奇事，難道在我眼中也是件奇事嗎﹖──萬軍上主的斷語。
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith Jehovah of hosts.
7 萬軍的上主這樣說：看，我要由日出之地和日落之地救回我的百姓；
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8 我要本著忠實和正義，領他們回來，住在耶路撒冷；他們要作我的百姓，我要作他們的天主」。
and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
9 萬軍的上主這樣說：「當建築萬軍的上主殿，奠基的時日，你們由先知口中聽見這話的人，應加強你們的手臂。
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
10 既使在這些日子以前，人得不到工資，牲畜也沒有報酬，因為我曾使人互相攻擊；
For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in, because of the adversary: for I set all men every one against his neighbor.
11 但是現今我對待這百姓的遺民，決不像住日一樣──萬軍上主的斷語。
But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith Jehovah of hosts.
12 因為我要散播和平；葡萄園必結果實，土地必有出產，上天必降甘露；我必要使這百姓的遺民獲得這一切。
For [there shall be] the seed of peace; the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
13 猶大家和以色列家，昔日你們在異民中怎樣成為可詛咒的，將來我也要照樣拯救你們，使你們受人祝福；你們不要害怕，應加強你們的手臂!
And it shall come to pass that, as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing. Fear not, [but] let your hands be strong.
14 因為萬軍的上主這樣說：就如你們的祖先惹我發怒的時候，我曾決意懲罰你們──萬軍的上主說──而毫不動情；
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: As I thought to do evil unto you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I repented not;
15 照樣，在這些日子裏，我也要決意善待耶路撒冷和猶大家；你們不要害怕!
so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
16 你們應該遵行的訓令是：彼此談話要誠實，在城門口應作公正與和平的裁判；
These are the things that ye shall do: Speak ye every man the truth with his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates;
17 不可人中圖謀惡事，彼此相害，也不可喜歡發假誓，因為這一切都是我所憎惡的──上主的斷語。」
and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith Jehovah.
18 萬軍上主的話傳給我說：
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying,
19 「萬軍的上主這樣說：四月的齋戒、七月的齋戒，為猶大家將變為愉快和喜樂以及歡躍的佳節；但你們應愛好忠實與和平」。
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love truth and peace.
20 萬軍的上主這樣說：「還有許多民族和各大城市的居民要前來；
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: [It shall] yet [come to pass], that there shall come peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities;
21 一城的居民到另一 城去，向該城的固民說：我們快去懇求上主開恩，去尋求萬軍的上主! ──我也同去。」
and the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of hosts: I will go also.
22 將有許多民族和強盛的國民，來到耶路撒冷尋求萬軍的上主，懇求上主開恩。
Yea, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Jehovah.
23 萬軍的上主這樣說：「在那日子裏，十個說異國方言的人將抓住一個猶太人的衣服說：我們要同你們一起去，因為我們聽說天主與你們在一起」。
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: In those days [it shall come to pass], that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.
