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－
An oracle. The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD;
2 和靠近的哈馬，並泰爾、西頓； 因為這二城的人大有智慧。
and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are 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。
Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
4 主必趕出她， 打敗她海上的權利； 她必被火燒滅。
Look, the LORD will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured 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。
Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6 私生子必住在亞實突； 我必除滅非利士人的驕傲。
Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off 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。
I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron 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。
I will camp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my 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, daughter of Zion. Shout, daughter of Jerusalem. Look, your king comes to you. He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
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。
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the farthest parts 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。
As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is 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。
Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
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 indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
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。
The LORD will be seen over them; and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and the LORD will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
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 of hosts will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of 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。
The LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over 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 how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty. Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
