撒迦利亚书 1
1 大流士王第二年八月，耶和华的话临到易多的孙子、比利家的儿子先知撒迦利亚，说：
In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2 “耶和华曾向你们列祖大大发怒。
The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.
3 所以你要对以色列人说，万军之耶和华如此说：你们要转向我，我就转向你们。这是万军之耶和华说的。
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.
4 不要效法你们列祖。从前的先知呼叫他们说，万军之耶和华如此说：‘你们要回头离开你们的恶道恶行。’他们却不听，也不顺从我。这是耶和华说的。
Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked thoughts. But they did not heed, and neither did they pay attention to me, says the Lord.
5 你们的列祖在哪里呢？那些先知能永远存活吗？
Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?
6 只是我的言语和律例，就是所吩咐我仆人众先知的，岂不临到你们列祖吗？他们就回头，说：‘万军之耶和华定意按我们的行动作为向我们怎样行，他已照样行了。’”
Yet truly my words and my lawfulness, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, were indeed comprehended by your fathers, and so they were converted, and they said: Just as the Lord of hosts decided to do to us, according to our ways and according to our inventions, so has he done to us.
7 大流士第二年十一月，就是细罢特月二十四日，耶和华的话临到易多的孙子、比利家的儿子先知撒迦利亚，说：
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is called Shevat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 “我夜间观看，见一人骑着红马，站在洼地番石榴树中间。在他身后又有红马、黄马，和白马。”
I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.
9 我对与我说话的天使说：“主啊，这是什么意思？”他说：“我要指示你这是什么意思。”
And I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me, “I will reveal to you what these are.”
10 那站在番石榴树中间的人说：“这是奉耶和华差遣在遍地走来走去的。”
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth.”
11 那些骑马的对站在番石榴树中间耶和华的使者说：“我们已在遍地走来走去，见全地都安息平静。”
And those who stood among the myrtle trees answered the angel of the Lord, and they said, “We have walked through the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited and is at rest.”
12 于是，耶和华的使者说：“万军之耶和华啊，你恼恨耶路撒冷和犹大的城邑已经七十年，你不施怜悯要到几时呢？”
And the angel of the Lord answered and said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry? This is now the seventieth year.”
13 耶和华就用美善的安慰话回答那与我说话的天使。
And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.
14 与我说话的天使对我说：“你要宣告说，万军之耶和华如此说：我为耶路撒冷为锡安，心里极其火热。
And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me: Cry out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great zeal.
15 我甚恼怒那安逸的列国，因我从前稍微恼怒我民，他们就加害过分。
And, with a great anger, I am angry with the wealthy nations. Though I had been angry a little, truly they advanced further in evil.
16 所以耶和华如此说：现今我回到耶路撒冷，仍施怜悯，我的殿必重建在其中，准绳必拉在耶路撒冷之上。这是万军之耶和华说的。
Because of this, thus says the Lord: I will be turned back, towards Jerusalem, with mercies; and my house will be built upon this, says the Lord of hosts. And the building line will be extended over Jerusalem.
17 你要再宣告说，万军之耶和华如此说：我的城邑必再丰盛发达。耶和华必再安慰锡安，拣选耶路撒冷。”
Until then, cry out saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Until then, my cities will flow with good things, and, until then, the Lord will comfort Zion, and, until then, he will single out Jerusalem.
18 我举目观看，见有四角。
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw. And behold: four horns.
19 我就问与我说话的天使说：“这是什么意思？”他回答说：“这是打散犹大、以色列，和耶路撒冷的角。”
And I said to the angel, who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah and Israel and Jerusalem.”
20 耶和华又指四个匠人给我看。
And the Lord showed me four workmen.
21 我说：“他们来做什么呢？”他说：“这是打散犹大的角，使人不敢抬头；但这些匠人来威吓列国，打掉他们的角，就是举起打散犹大地的角。”
And I said, “What have these come to do?” He spoke, saying, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah, through every single man, and none of them lifted up his head. And these have come to frighten them away, so as to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which have lifted up a horn over the land of Judah, so as to scatter it.”
