Zechariah 8
1 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:
萬軍のヱホバの言われに臨めり曰く
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have been jealous for Sion with a great jealousy, and with a great indignation have I been jealous for her.
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 of hosts: I am returned to Sion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, The sanctified 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 of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem: and every man with his staff in his hand through multitude of days.
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 streets of the city shall be full of 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 of hosts: If it seem hard in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days: shall it be hard in my eyes, saith the Lord of hosts?
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふこの事その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 of hosts: Behold I will save my people from the land of the east, and from the land of the going down of the sun.
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, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God in truth and in justice.
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 of hosts: Let your hands be strengthened, you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, in the day that the house of the Lord of hosts was founded, that the temple might be 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 there was no hire for men, neither was there hire for beasts, neither was there peace to him that came in, nor to him that went out, because of the tribulation: and I let all men go 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 deal with the remnant of this people according to the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.
然れども今は我此民の遺餘者に對すること曩の日の如くならずと萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ
12 But there shall be the seed of peace: the vine shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew: and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
即ち平安の種子あるべし葡萄の樹は果を結び地は產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, that as you were a curse among the Gentiles, O house of Juda, and house of Israel: so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing: fear not, let your hands be strengthened.
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 of hosts: As I purposed to afflict you, when your fathers had provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord,
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 And I had no mercy: so turning again I have thought in these days to do good to the house of Juda, and Jerusalem: fear not.
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 then are the things, which you shall do: Speak ye truth every one to his neighbour: judge ye truth and judgment of peace in your gates.
汝らの爲べき事は是なり汝ら各々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 imagine evil in your hearts against his friend: and love not a false oath: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord.
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 of hosts 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 of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Juda, joy, and gladness, and great solemnities: only love ye 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 of hosts, until people come, and dwell in 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 go one to another, saying: Let us go, and entreat the face of the Lord, and let us seek the Lord of hosts: I also will go.
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 strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the face 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 of hosts: In those days, wherein ten men of all languages of the Gentiles shall take hold, and shall hold fast the shirt of one that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you: 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
