< Zechariah 9 >

1 The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel; )
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-
2 and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.
和靠近的哈馬,並泰爾、西頓; 因為這二城的人大有智慧。
3 And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
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。
4 Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
主必趕出她, 打敗她海上的權利; 她必被火燒滅。
5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
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。
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines;
私生子必住在亞實突; 我必除滅非利士人的驕傲。
7 and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
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。
8 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.
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。
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
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。
10 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 unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
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。
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
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。
12 Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.
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。
13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man.
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。
14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds of the south.
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。
15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
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。
16 And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon his land.
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。
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
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。
