< Zechariah 12 >

1 The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. Thus saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundations of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man in him:
耶和華論以色列的默示。 鋪張諸天、建立地基、造人裏面之靈的耶和華說:
2 Behold I will make Jerusalem a lintel of surfeiting to all the people round about: and Juda also shall be in the siege against Jerusalem.
「我必使耶路撒冷被圍困的時候,向四圍列國的民成為令人昏醉的杯;這默示也論到猶大。
3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all people: all that shall lift it up shall be rent and torn, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall be gathered together against her.
那日,我必使耶路撒冷向聚集攻擊他的萬民當作一塊重石頭;凡舉起的必受重傷。
4 In that day, saith the Lord, I will strike every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Juda, and will strike every horse of the nations with blindness.
耶和華說:到那日,我必使一切馬匹驚惶,使騎馬的顛狂。我必看顧猶大家,使列國的一切馬匹瞎眼。
5 And the governors of Juda shall say in their heart: Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me in the Lord of hosts, their God.
猶大的族長必心裏說:『耶路撒冷的居民倚靠萬軍之耶和華-他們的上帝,就作我們的能力。』
6 In that day I will make the governors of Juda like a furnace of fire amongst wood, and as a firebrand amongst hay: and they shall devour all the people round about, to the right hand, and to the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place in Jerusalem.
「那日,我必使猶大的族長如火盆在木柴中,又如火把在禾捆裏;他們必左右燒滅四圍列國的民。耶路撒冷人必仍住本處,就是耶路撒冷。
7 And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda, as in the beginning: that the house of David, and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not boast and magnify themselves against Juda.
「耶和華必先拯救猶大的帳棚,免得大衛家的榮耀和耶路撒冷居民的榮耀勝過猶大。
8 In that day shall the Lord protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that hath offended among them in that day shall be as David: and the house of David, as that of God, as an angel of the Lord in their sight.
那日,耶和華必保護耶路撒冷的居民。他們中間軟弱的必如大衛;大衛的家必如上帝,如行在他們前面之耶和華的使者。
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
那日,我必定意滅絕來攻擊耶路撒冷各國的民。
10 And I will pour out upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace, and of prayers: and they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for an only son, and they shall grieve over him, as the manner is to grieve for the death of the firstborn.
「我必將那施恩叫人懇求的靈,澆灌大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民。他們必仰望我,就是他們所扎的;必為我悲哀,如喪獨生子,又為我愁苦,如喪長子。
11 In that day there shall be a great lamentation in Jerusalem like the lamentation of Adadremmon in the plain of Mageddon.
那日,耶路撒冷必有大大的悲哀,如米吉多平原之哈達臨門的悲哀。
12 And the land shall mourn: families and families apart: the families of the house of David apart, and their women apart:
境內一家一家地都必悲哀。大衛家,男的獨在一處,女的獨在一處。拿單家,男的獨在一處,女的獨在一處。
13 The families of the house of Nathan apart, and their women apart: the families of the house of Levi apart, and their women apart: the families of Semei apart, and their women apart.
利未家,男的獨在一處,女的獨在一處。示每家,男的獨在一處,女的獨在一處。
14 All the rest of the families, families and families apart, and their women apart.
其餘的各家,男的獨在一處,女的獨在一處。
