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 Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] the rest of it: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] towards 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 shall border by it; Tyre and Zidon, though it be 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 Tyre built herself a strong hold, and amassed silver as the dust, and fine gold as 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。
Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall 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 shall see [it], and fear; Gaza also [shall see it], and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon 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 a bastard shall 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。
And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, [shall be] for our God, and he shall be as a governor 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。
And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I 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, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh to thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
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 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle-bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace to the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea to sea, and from the river 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。
As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of 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 ye to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare [that] I will render double to thee;
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。
When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as 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。
And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD 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 shall devour, and subdue with sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as 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。
And the LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people: for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign 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 how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
