< 撒迦利亞書 9 >

1 神諭:上主的話臨於哈得辣客地,停在大馬士革,因為阿蘭的眼珠也像以色列的各支派一樣,是屬於上主的。
The oracle of the word of Yahweh on the land of Hadrach, and, Damascus, shall be the resting-place thereof, —For, Yahweh, hath an eye—to mankind, and to all the tribes of Israel;
2 哈瑪特也要屬於衪的版圖,還有極其明智的漆東。
Moreover also, Hamath, adjoineth thereto, Tyre and Zidon, —because very wise;
3 提洛為自己建築了碉堡,堆積的銀子多如塵土,金子像街市上的泥土。
Therefore did Tyre build a stronghold for herself, —and did heap up silver like dust, yea gold, like the mire of the lanes.
4 看,吾主必要佔據她,把她的財富拋入海中;她必為火所吞滅。
Lo! My Lord, shall dispossess her, and smite, into the sea, her fortress, —and, she herself, in fire, shall be consumed.
5 阿市克隆見了,必要害怕;迦薩也要極度戰憟,厄龍隆也是如此,因為依賴的,遭受了羞辱。
Ashkelon, shall see, and fear, Gaza, also, which shall writhe in great anguish, Ekron, also, because abashed is her expectation, —and the king, shall perish, from Gaza, and, Ashkelon, not be inhabited;
6 迦薩的君王必要喪亡,阿市刻隆沒有人居住。當我這樣消除了培肋舍特人的傲慢,
And there shall be seated a half-breed in Ashdod, —So will I cut off the arrogance of the Philistines;
7 由他的口中除去血的祭肉,從他的牙齒間除去可憎的祭肉之後,他的遺民也必要歸屬於我們的天主,有如猶大中的一個家族;厄刻龍也必像耶步斯人。
And will take away his reeking prey out of his mouth, and his abominations, from between his teeth, but, he that is left, even he, shall belong to our God, —So shall he become as a chief in Judah, and, Ekron, as a Jebusite!
8 我要我的自作營寨,防禦往來的人,不再讓殘暴者由他們中間經過,因為如今我要親眼防守。
Then will I encamp about my house—against an army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, neither shall an exactor, tread them down any more, —for, now, have I seen with mine own eyes.
9 熙雍女子,妳應盡量喜樂! 耶路撒冷女子,妳應該歡呼! 看,妳君王到妳這裏來,衪是正義的,勝利的,謙遜的,騎在驢上,騎在驢駒上。
Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he, —lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young ass.
10 衪由厄弗辣因剷除戰車,從耶路撒冷除掉戰馬,作戰的弓箭也要被消滅;衪要向萬民宣佈和平,衪的權柄由這海到那海,從大河直到地極。
So will he cut off the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the war-bow, shall be cut off, So shall he speak peace to the nations, and, his dominion, shall be from sea to sea, and from the river [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.
11 妳,熙雍女子! 因了妳盟約的血,我要從無水的地牢中釋放好的俘虜。
As for thee also, —By the blood of thy covenant, have I sent forth thy prisoners out of a pit, wherein is no water.
12 懷著希望的俘虜,必要回到妳這裏。熙雍女子! 我必雙倍償還妳在充軍之日所遭受的一切,
Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope, —Even to-day, do I declare—Double, will I return to thee!
13 因為我要以3作我張開的弓,以厄弗辣因作我弓上的箭。熙雍! 我要鼓勵妳的子民,使妳有如勇士的劍,為攻擊雅汪子民。
For I have bent for me—Judah, As a bow, have I grasped Ephraim, Thus will I rouse up thy sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty one.
14 上主必要在他們上面出現,像閃電一般射出衪的箭;吾主上主必要吹起號角,乘著南方的旋風前來。
But, Yahweh, over them, will appear, and forth shall go, as lightning, his arrow, —Yea, My Lord Yahweh, with a horn, will blow, and will move along in the whirlwinds of the south.
15 萬軍的上主必保衛他們,使他們前進,踐踏石的人;他們必要喝他們的血,有如喝酒;飽享鮮血,有如祭壇的四角。
Yahweh of hosts, will throw a covering over them, so shall they eat, and trample underfoot sling-stones, and shall drink—shall shout as with wine, —and shall be filled like tossing-bowls, —like the corners of an altar.
16 到那一天,上主他們的天主,必要拯救他們,要牧放衪的百姓,有如牧羊群;他們將如王冠上的寶石,在衪的地上閃爍。
So will Yahweh their God, save them, on that day. yea, as a flock of sheep, his people, —for [they shall be like] the jewels of a diadem sparkling over his land.
17 那時,此地是多麼幸福,多麼美麗! 五榖滋養少男;新酒培育少處女。
For how excellent it is! Yea how beautiful! Corn, shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
