Zechariah 12
1 The burden of the worde of the Lord vpon Israel, sayth the Lord, which spred the heauens, and layed the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirite of man within him.
神諭：上主論以色列的話：展開蒼天，奠定大地，在人體內造化人靈的上主的斷語：
2 Beholde, I will make Ierusalem a cuppe of poyson vnto all the people round about: and also with Iudah will he be, in ye siege against Ierusalem.
看，我要使耶路撒冷成為四周萬民的醉杯；在耶路撒冷城被圍困寺時，猶大也必如此。
3 And in that day will I make Ierusalem an heauie stone for all people: all that lift it vp, shall be torne, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
在那一天，我必使耶路撒冷成為一切民族的舉重石；凡欲舉起它的，必受重傷。地上的民族，都要聚集起來攻擊它。
4 In that day, sayeth the Lord, I will smite euery horse with astonishment, and his rider with madnesse, and I will open mine eyes vpon the house of Iudah, and will smite euery horse of the people with blindnesse.
在那一天，──上主的斷語──我要以驚慌打搫一切戰馬，以瘋狂打搫騎兵；但對猶大家，我卻要睜開我的雙眼；我要以盲目打搫的戰馬。
5 And the princes of Iudah shall say in their hearts, The inhabitants of Ierusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hostes their God.
那時，猶大的族長心裏必要說：耶路撒冷咕民的力量在乎萬軍的上主，他們的土天主。
6 In that day will I make the princes of Iudah like coles of fire among the wood, and like a fire brand in the sheafe, and they shall deuoure all the people round about on the right hand, and on the left: and Ierusalem shall be inhabited againe in her owne place, euen in Ierusalem.
在那一天，我必要使猶大的族長好像木柴中的火盆，有如草堆中的火把；他們必左右吞滅四周所有的民族；但耶路撒冷必仍安居在自己的原處。
7 The Lord also shall preserue the tents of Iudah, as afore time: therefore the glorie of the house of Dauid shall not boast, nor the glorie of the inhabitants of Ierusalem against Iudah.
上主首先要使猶大的家族勝利，免得達味家的光榮和耶路撒冷居民的光榮超過猶大。
8 In that day shall the Lord defende the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and he that is feeble among them, in that day shall be as Dauid: and the house of Dauid shall be as Gods house, and as the Angel of the Lord before them.
在那一天，上主必要保衛耶路撒冷的居民，使他們中的衰弱者，在那一天有如達味，而達味家在他們眼前有如神，有如上主的使者。
9 And in that day will I seeke to destroy all the nations that come against Ierusalem.
在那一天，我必設法消滅一切來攻打耶路撒冷的異民。
10 And I will powre vpon the house of Dauid, and vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem the Spirite of grace and of compassion, and they shall looke vpon me, whom they haue pearced, and they shall lament for him, as one mourneth for his onely sonne, and be sorie for him as one is sorie for his first borne.
我要對達味和耶路撒冷的居民傾注憐憫和哀禱的神，他們要瞻望他們所刺透的那一位：哀悼他如哀悼獨生子，痛哭他像痛哭長子。
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Ierusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
在那一天，在耶路撒冷必要大舉哀悼合有如在默基多平原中的哈達得黎孟的哀悼。
12 And the land shall bewayle euery familie apart, the familie of the house of Dauid apart, and their wiues apart: the familie of the house of Nathan apart, and their wiues apart:
全國將要哀悼，各家各族，成一夥，他們的女人一夥；納堂家一夥，
13 The familie of the house of Leui apart, and their wiues apart: the familie of Shemei apart, and their wiues apart:
肋未家的家族一夥，他們的女人一夥；史米家族一夥，他們的女人一夥；
14 All the families that remaine, euery familie apart, and their wiues apart.
其餘所有的家族，各家各族合成一夥，他們的女人一夥。
