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 eight moneth of the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto Zechariah the sonne of Berechiah, the sonne of Iddo, the Prophet, saying,
2 “耶和华曾向你们列祖大大发怒。
The Lord hath bene sore displeased with 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。
Therefore say thou vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Turne ye vnto me, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will turne vnto you, saith the Lord of hostes.
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。
Be ye not as your fathers, vnto whome the former prophets haue cried, saying, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Turne you nowe from your euill wayes, and from your wicked workes: but they would not heare, nor hearken vnto me, saith 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 doe the Prophets liue for euer?
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。’”
But did not my wordes and my statutes, which I commanded by my seruants ye Prophets, take holde of your fathers? and they returned, and sayd, As the Lord of hostes hath determined to doe vnto vs, according to our owne wayes, and according to our workes, so hath hee dealt with vs.
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：
Vpon the foure and twentieth day of the eleuenth moneth, which is the moneth Shebat, in the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto Zechariah the sonne of Berechiah, the sonne 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 vpon a red horse, and hee stood among the mirre trees, that were in a bottome, and behinde him were there red horses speckeled 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。”
Then sayd I, O my Lord, what are these? And the Angel that talked with me, sayde vnto me, I wil shew thee what these be.
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 mirre trees, answered, and sayd, These are they whome the Lord hath sent to go through the world.
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 they answered the Angel of the Lord, that stood among the mirre trees, and sayd, We haue gone thorowe the world: and beholde, all the world sitteth still, 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？”
Then the Angel of the Lord answered and sayd, O Lord of hostes, howe long wilt thou be vnmercifull to Ierusalem, and to the cities of Iudah, with whom thou hast bene displeased now these threescore and ten yeeres?
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 that talked with me, with good wordes and comfortable wordes.
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。
So the Angel that communed with me, said vnto me, Crie thou, and speake, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I am ielous ouer Ierusalem and Zion with a great zeale,
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 am greatly angrie against the carelesse heathen: for I was angrie but a litle, and they helped forward the affliction.
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。
Therefore thus saith the Lord, I wil returne vnto Ierusalem with tender mercie: mine house shall be builded in it, saith the Lord of hostes, and a line shall be stretched vpon Ierusalem.
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。”
Cry yet, and speake, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, My cities shall yet be broken with plentie: the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet chuse Ierusalem.
18 我举目观看，见有四角。
Then lift I vp mine eyes and sawe, and beholde, foure hornes.
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 vnto the Angel that talked with me, What be these? And hee answered me, These are the hornes which haue scattered Iudah, Israel, and Ierusalem.
20 耶和华又指四个匠人给我看。
And the Lord shewed me foure carpenters.
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。”
Then said I, What come these to doe? And he answered, and said, These are the hornes, which haue scattered Iudah, so that a man durst not lift vp his head: but these are come to fray them, and to cast out the hornes of the Gentiles, which lift vp their horne ouer the land of Iudah, to scatter it.
