撒迦利亞書 8
1 又有萬軍上主的話：
Againe the worde of the Lord of hostes 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 the Lord of hostes, I was ielous for Zion with great ielousie, and I was ielous 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 the Lord, I wil returne vnto Zion, and wil dwel in the mids of Ierusalem: and Ierusalem shalbe called a citie of trueth, and the Mountaine of the Lord of hostes, the holy Mountaine.
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 sayth the Lord of hostes, There shall yet olde men and olde women dwell in the streetes of Ierusalem, and euery man with his staffe 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 streetes of the citie shalbe full of boyes and girles, playing in the streetes 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 the Lord of hostes, Though it be vnpossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these dayes, should it therefore be vnpossible in my sight, sayth the Lord of hostes?
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 sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will deliuer my people from the East countrey, and from the West countrey.
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 wil bring them, and they shall dwel in the mids of Ierusalem, and they shalbe my people, and I wil be their God in trueth, and in righteousnes.
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 sayth the Lord of hostes, Let your hands be strong, ye that heare in these dayes these words by the mouth of the Prophets, which were in the day, that the foundation of the House of the Lord of hostes was laide, that the Temple might be builded.
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 these dayes 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 affliction: for I set all men, euery one against his neighbour.
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 nowe, I wil not intreate the residue of this people as aforetime, saith the Lord of hostes.
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 the seede shall be prosperous: the vine shall giue her fruite, and the ground shall giue her increase, and the heauens shall giue their dewe, and I will cause the remnant of this people to possesse 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 passe, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Iudah, and house of Israel, so wil I deliuer you, and ye shalbe a blessing: feare 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 sayth the Lord of hostes, As I thought to punish you, when your fathers prouoked me vnto wrath, sayth the Lord of hostes, and 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 againe haue I determined in these daies to doe well vnto Ierusalem, and to the house of Iudah: feare 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 ye things that ye shall doe. Speake ye euery man the trueth vnto his neighbour: execute iudgement truely and vprightly 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 imagine euill in your hearts against his neighbour, and loue no false othe: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord.
18 萬軍上主的話傳給我說：
And the worde of the Lord of hostes came vnto 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 sayth the Lord of hostes, The fast of the fourth moneth, and the fast of the fift, and the fast of the seuenth, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Iudah ioy and gladnes, and prosperous hie feasts: therefore loue the trueth 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 the Lord of hostes, That there shall yet come people, and the inhabitants of great 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 they that dwell in one citie, shall go to another, saying, Vp, let vs go and pray before the Lord, and seeke the Lord of hostes: I wil 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, great people and mightie nations shall come to seeke the Lord of hostes in Ierusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
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 sayth the Lord of hostes, In those dayes shall ten men take holde out of all languages of the nations, euen take holde of the skirt of him that is a Iewe, and say, We will go with you: for we haue heard that God is with you.
