< 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 revelation of Yahweh’s word concerning Israel: Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:
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。
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against 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。
It will happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
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。
In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness. I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
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。』
The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Yahweh of Armies their God.’
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。
In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
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。
Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above 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。
In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like Yahweh’s angel before them.
It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against 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 on David’s house and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. They will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for his 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。
In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon 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 apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
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。
the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
