Zechariah 8
1 Again the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying:
万军之耶和华的话临到我说：
2 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I am jealous for Zion with great zeal; I am jealous for her with great fervor.”
“万军之耶和华如此说：我为锡安心里极其火热，我为她火热，向她的仇敌发烈怒。
3 This is what the LORD says: “I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of Hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.”
耶和华如此说：我现在回到锡安，要住在耶路撒冷中。耶路撒冷必称为诚实的城，万军之耶和华的山必称为圣山。
4 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Old men and old women will again sit along the streets of Jerusalem, each with a staff in hand because of great age.
万军之耶和华如此说：将来必有年老的男女坐在耶路撒冷街上，因为年纪老迈就手拿拐杖。
5 And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing there.”
城中街上必满有男孩女孩玩耍。
6 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “If this is impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be impossible in My eyes?” declares the LORD of Hosts.
万军之耶和华如此说：到那日，这事在余剩的民眼中看为希奇，在我眼中也看为希奇吗？这是万军之耶和华说的。
7 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west.
万军之耶和华如此说：我要从东方从西方救回我的民。
8 I will bring them back to dwell in Jerusalem, where they will be My people, and I will be their faithful and righteous God.”
我要领他们来，使他们住在耶路撒冷中。他们要作我的子民，我要作他们的 神，都凭诚实和公义。”
9 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Let your hands be strong, you who now hear these words spoken by the prophets who were present when the foundations were laid to rebuild the temple, the house of the LORD of Hosts.
万军之耶和华如此说：“当建造万军之耶和华的殿，立根基之日的先知所说的话，现在你们听见，应当手里强壮。
10 For before those days neither man nor beast received wages, nor was there safety from the enemy for anyone who came or went, for I had turned every man against his neighbor.
那日以先，人得不着雇价，牲畜也是如此；且因敌人的缘故，出入之人不得平安，乃因我使众人互相攻击。
11 But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as I did in the past,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
但如今，我待这余剩的民必不像从前。这是万军之耶和华说的。
12 “For the seed will be prosperous, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will yield its produce, and the skies will give their dew. To the remnant of this people I will give all these things as an inheritance.
因为他们必平安撒种，葡萄树必结果子，地土必有出产，天也必降甘露。我要使这余剩的民享受这一切的福。
13 As you have been a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid; let your hands be strong.”
犹大家和以色列家啊，你们从前在列国中怎样成为可咒诅的；照样，我要拯救你们，使人称你们为有福的。你们不要惧怕，手要强壮。”
14 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Just as I resolved to bring disaster upon you when your fathers provoked Me to anger, and I did not relent,” says the LORD of Hosts,
万军之耶和华如此说：“你们列祖惹我发怒的时候，我怎样定意降祸，并不后悔。
15 “so now I have resolved to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid.
现在我照样定意施恩与耶路撒冷和犹大家，你们不要惧怕。
16 These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,
你们所当行的是这样：各人与邻舍说话诚实，在城门口按至理判断，使人和睦。
17 do not plot evil in your hearts against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely, for I hate all these things,” declares the LORD.
谁都不可心里谋害邻舍，也不可喜爱起假誓，因为这些事都为我所恨恶。这是耶和华说的。”
18 Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,
万军之耶和华的话临到我说：
19 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: The fasts of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth months will become times of joy and gladness, cheerful feasts for the house of Judah. Therefore you are to love both truth and peace.”
“万军之耶和华如此说：四月、五月禁食的日子，七月、十月禁食的日子，必变为犹大家欢喜快乐的日子和欢乐的节期；所以你们要喜爱诚实与和平。”
20 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Peoples will yet come—the residents of many cities—
万军之耶和华如此说：“将来必有列国的人和多城的居民来到。
21 and the residents of one city will go to another, saying: ‘Let us go at once to plead before the LORD and to seek the LORD of Hosts. I myself am going.’
这城的居民必到那城，说：‘我们要快去恳求耶和华的恩，寻求万军之耶和华；我也要去。’
22 And many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Hosts in Jerusalem and to plead before the LORD.”
必有列邦的人和强国的民来到耶路撒冷寻求万军之耶和华，恳求耶和华的恩。
23 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue will tightly grasp the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
万军之耶和华如此说：在那些日子，必有十个人从列国诸族中出来，拉住一个犹大人的衣襟，说：‘我们要与你们同去，因为我们听见 神与你们同在了。’”
