Zacharias 8
1 And the word of the Lord Almighty came, saying,
萬軍のヱホバの言われに臨めり曰く
2 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; I have been jealous for Jerusalem and for Sion with great jealousy, and I have been jealous for her with great fury.
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ我シオンのために甚だしく心を熱して妬く思ひ大なる忿怒を起して之がために妬く思ふ
3 Thus saith the Lord; I will return to Sion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a true city, and the mountain of the Lord Almighty a holy mountain.
ヱホバかく言たまふ今我シオンに歸れり我ヱルサレムの中に住んヱルサレムは誠實ある邑と稱へられ萬軍のヱホバの山は聖山と稱へらるべし
4 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; There shall yet dwell old men and old women in the streets of Jerusalem, every one holding his staff in his hand for age.
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふヱルサレムの街衢には再び老たる男 老たる女坐せん皆年高くして各々杖を手に持べし
5 And the broad places of the city shall be filled with boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
またその邑の街衢には男の兒 女の兒滿て街衢に遊び戯れん
6 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; If it shall be impossible in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, shall it also be impossible in my sight? saith the Lord Almighty.
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふこの事其日には此民の遺餘者の目に奇といふとも我目に何の奇きこと有んや萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
7 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Behold, I [will] save my people from the east country, and the west country;
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ視よ我わが民を日の出る國より日の入る國より救ひ出し
8 and I will bring them in, and cause [them] to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God, in truth and in righteousness.
かれらを携へ來りてヱルサレムの中に住しめん彼らは我民となり我は彼らの神となりて共に誠實と正義に居ん
9 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Let your hands be strong, [ye that] hear in these days these words out of the mouth of the prophets, from the day that the house of the Lord Almighty was founded, and from the time that the temple was built.
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ汝ら萬軍のヱホバの室なる殿を建んとて其基礎を置たる日に起りし預言者等の口の言詞を今日聞く者よ汝らの腕を強くせよ
10 For before those days the wages of men could not be profitable, and there could be no hire of cattle, and there could be no peace by reason of the affliction to him that went out or to him that came in: for I would have let loose all men, every one against his neighbour.
此日の先には人も工の價を得ず獸畜も工の價を得ず出者も入者も仇の故をもて安然ならざりき即ち我人々をして互に相攻しめたり
11 But now I [will] not do to the remnant of this people according to the former days, saith the Lord Almighty.
然れども今は我此民の遺餘者に對すること曩の日のごとくならずと萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ
12 But I will shew peace: the vine shall yield her fruit, and the land shall yield her produce, and the heaven shall give its dew: and I will give as an inheritance all these things to the remnant of my people.
即ち平安の種子あるべし葡萄の樹は果を結び地は産物を出し天は露を與へん我この民の遺餘者にこれを盡く獲さすべし
13 And it shall come to pass, as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Juda, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: be of good courage, and strengthen your hands.
ユダの家およびイスラエルの家よ汝らが國々の中に呪詛となりしごとく此度は我なんぢらを救ふて祝言とならしめん懼るる勿れ汝らの腕を強くせよ
14 For thus saith the Lord Almighty; As I took counsel to afflict you when your fathers provoked me, saith the Lord Almighty, and I repented not:
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ在昔汝らの先祖我を怒らせし時に我これに災禍を降さんと思ひて之を悔ざりき萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
15 so have I prepared and taken counsel in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Juda: be ye of good courage.
是のごとく我また今日ヱルサレムとユダの家に福祉を降さんと思ふ汝ら懼るる勿れ
16 These [are] the things which ye shall do; speak truth every one with his neighbour; judge truth and peaceable judgment in your gates:
汝らの爲べき事は是なり汝ら各たがひに眞實を言べし又汝等の門にて審判する時は眞實を執て平和の審判を爲べし
17 and let none of you devise evil in his heart against his neighbour; and love not a false oath: for all these things I hate, saith the Lord Almighty.
汝等すべて人の災害を心に圖る勿れ僞の誓を好む勿れ是等はみな我が惡む者なりとヱホバ言たまふ
18 And the word of the Lord Almighty came to me, saying,
萬軍のヱホバの言われに臨めり云く
19 Thus saith the Lord Almighty, The fourth fast, and the fifth fast, and the seventh fast, and the tenth fast, shall be to the house of Juda for joy and gladness, and for good feasts; and ye shall rejoice; and love ye the truth and peace.
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ四月の斷食五月の斷食七月の斷食十月の斷食かへつてユダの家の宴樂となり欣喜となり佳節となるべし惟なんぢら眞實と平和を愛すべし
20 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Yet shall many peoples come, and the inhabitants of many cities;
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ國々の民および衆多の邑の居民來り就ん
21 and the inhabitants of five cities shall come together to one city, saying, Let us go to make supplication to the Lord, and to seek the face of the Lord Almighty; I will go also.
即ちこの邑の居民往てかの邑の者に向ひ我儕すみやかに往てヱホバを和め萬軍のヱホバを求めんと言んに我も往べしと答へん
22 And many peoples and many nations shall come to seek earnestly the face of the Lord Almighty in Jerusalem, and to obtain favour of the Lord.
衆多の民強き國民ヱルサレムに來りて萬軍のヱホバを求めヱホバを和めん
23 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; In those days [my word shall be fulfilled] if ten men of all the languages of the nations should take hold—even take hold of the hem of a Jew, saying, We will go with thee; for we have heard that God is with you.
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ其日には諸の國語の民十人にてユダヤ人一箇の裾を拉へん即ち之を拉へて言ん我ら汝らと與に往べし其は我ら神の汝らと偕にいますを聞たればなり
