撒迦利亞書 9
1 耶和華的默示應驗在哈得拉地大馬士革 －世人和以色列各支派的眼目都仰望耶和華－
The burden of the word of the Lord, in the land of Sedrach, and his sacrifice [shall be] in Damascus; for the Lord looks upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel.
2 和靠近的哈馬，並泰爾、西頓； 因為這二城的人大有智慧。
And in Emath, [even] in her coasts, [are] Tyre and Sidon, because they were very wise.
3 泰爾為自己修築保障， 積蓄銀子如塵沙， 堆起精金如街上的泥土。
And Tyrus built strongholds for herself, and heaped up silver as dust, and gathered gold as the mire of the ways.
4 主必趕出她， 打敗她海上的權利； 她必被火燒滅。
And therefore the Lord will take them for a possession, and will strike her power in the sea; and she shall be consumed with fire.
5 亞實基倫看見必懼怕； 迦薩看見甚痛苦； 以革倫因失了盼望蒙羞。 迦薩必不再有君王； 亞實基倫也不再有居民。
Ascalon shall see, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Accaron; for she is ashamed at her trespass; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited.
6 私生子必住在亞實突； 我必除滅非利士人的驕傲。
And aliens shall dwell in Azotus, and I will bring down the pride of the Philistines.
7 我必除去他口中帶血之肉 和牙齒內可憎之物。 他必作為餘剩的人歸與我們的上帝， 必在猶大像族長； 以革倫人必如耶布斯人。
And I will take their blood out of their mouth, and their abominations from between their teeth; and these also shall be left to our God, and they shall be as a captain of a thousand in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.
8 我必在我家的四圍安營， 使敵軍不得任意往來， 暴虐的人也不再經過， 因為我親眼看顧我的家。
And I will set up a defence for my house, that they may not pass through, nor turn back, neither shall there any more come upon them one to drive them away: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
9 錫安的民哪，應當大大喜樂； 耶路撒冷的民哪，應當歡呼。 看哪，你的王來到你這裏！ 他是公義的，並且施行拯救， 謙謙和和地騎着驢， 就是騎着驢的駒子。
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion; proclaim [it] aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, the King is coming to you, just, and a Saviour; he is meek and riding on an ass, and a young foal.
10 我必除滅以法蓮的戰車 和耶路撒冷的戰馬； 爭戰的弓也必除滅。 他必向列國講和平； 他的權柄必從這海管到那海， 從大河管到地極。
And he shall destroy the chariots out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow of war shall be utterly destroyed; and [there shall be] abundance and peace out of the nations; and he shall rule over the waters as far as the sea, and the rivers [to] the ends of the earth.
11 錫安哪，我因與你立約的血， 將你中間被擄而囚的人從無水的坑中釋放出來。
And you by the blood of your covenant has sent forth your prisoners out of the pit that has no water.
12 你們被囚而有指望的人都要轉回保障。 我今日說明，我必加倍賜福給你們。
You shall dwell in strongholds, you prisoners of the congregation: and for one day of your captivity I will recompense you double.
13 我拿猶大作上弦的弓； 我拿以法蓮為張弓的箭。 錫安哪，我要激發你的眾子， 攻擊希臘的眾子，使你如勇士的刀。
For I have bent you, O Juda, for myself [as] a bow, I have filled Ephraim; and I will raise up your children, O Sion, against the children of the Greeks, and I will handle you as the sword of a warrior.
14 耶和華必顯現在他們以上； 他的箭必射出像閃電。 主耶和華必吹角， 乘南方的旋風而行。
And the Lord shall be over them, and [his] arrow shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord Almighty shall blow with the trumpet; and shall proceed with the tumult of his threatening.
15 萬軍之耶和華必保護他們； 他們必吞滅仇敵，踐踏彈石。 他們必喝血吶喊，猶如飲酒； 他們必像盛滿血的碗， 又像壇的四角滿了血。
The Lord Almighty shall protect them, and they shall destroy them, and overwhelm them with sling-stones; and they shall swallow them down as wine, and fill the bowls as the altar.
16 當那日，耶和華－他們的上帝 必看他的民如群羊，拯救他們； 因為他們必像冠冕上的寶石， 高舉在他的地以上。
And the Lord their God shall save them in that day, [even] his people as a flock; for holy stones are rolled upon his land.
17 他的恩慈何等大！ 他的榮美何其盛！ 五穀健壯少男； 新酒培養處女。
For if he has anything good, and if he has anything fair, the young [men shall have] corn, and [there shall be] fragrant wine to the virgins.
