撒迦利亞書 12
1 耶和華論以色列的默示。 鋪張諸天、建立地基、造人裏面之靈的耶和華說：
A prophecy: This message came from the Lord concerning Israel, a declaration of the Lord who spread out the heavens, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who placed the breath of life within human beings.
2 「我必使耶路撒冷被圍困的時候，向四圍列國的民成為令人昏醉的杯；這默示也論到猶大。
Look! I am going to make Jerusalem like a cup containing alcoholic drink that will make all the surrounding nations stagger like drunks when they come to attack Judah and Jerusalem.
3 那日，我必使耶路撒冷向聚集攻擊他的萬民當作一塊重石頭；凡舉起的必受重傷。
On that day I will make Jerusalem like a heavy rock to all peoples. Anyone who tries to lift the rock will injure themselves badly. All the nations will join together to attack Jerusalem.
4 耶和華說：到那日，我必使一切馬匹驚惶，使騎馬的顛狂。我必看顧猶大家，使列國的一切馬匹瞎眼。
On that day I will make every horse panic-stricken and every rider go mad, declares the Lord, but I will watch over the people of Judah while I blind all the horses of their enemies.
5 猶大的族長必心裏說：『耶路撒冷的居民倚靠萬軍之耶和華－他們的上帝，就作我們的能力。』
Then the families of Judah will say to themselves, the people of Jerusalem are strong in their God, the Lord Almighty.
6 「那日，我必使猶大的族長如火盆在木柴中，又如火把在禾捆裏；他們必左右燒滅四圍列國的民。耶路撒冷人必仍住本處，就是耶路撒冷。
On that day I will make the families of Judah like burning coals in a wood, like a flaming torch in a field of straw. They will burn up to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while the people of Jerusalem will live safely in their city.
7 「耶和華必先拯救猶大的帳棚，免得大衛家的榮耀和耶路撒冷居民的榮耀勝過猶大。
The Lord will give the victory to the soldiers of Judah first so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not be greater than that of Judah.
8 那日，耶和華必保護耶路撒冷的居民。他們中間軟弱的必如大衛；大衛的家必如上帝，如行在他們前面之耶和華的使者。
On that day the Lord will place a shield around the people of Jerusalem so that even the clumsiest of them will be as skilled a warrior as David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord who leads them.
9 那日，我必定意滅絕來攻擊耶路撒冷各國的民。
On that day I will start destroying all those nations that attack Jerusalem.
10 「我必將那施恩叫人懇求的靈，澆灌大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民。他們必仰望我，就是他們所扎的；必為我悲哀，如喪獨生子，又為我愁苦，如喪長子。
I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They will look at me whom they pierced, and they will wail in grief over him, mourning as for an only child, weeping bitterly as for a firstborn.
11 那日，耶路撒冷必有大大的悲哀，如米吉多平原之哈達臨門的悲哀。
On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning in Hadad-Rimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
12 境內一家一家地都必悲哀。大衛家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。拿單家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。
The land will mourn, every family alone: the family house of David alone and their women by themselves, the families of Nathan,
13 利未家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。示每家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。
Levi, and Shimei—
14 其餘的各家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。
and all the surviving families and their women, each group mourning alone by themselves.
