Zechariah 7
1 And in the fourth yeere of King Darius, the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth moneth, euen in Chisleu,
ダリヨス王の四年の九月すなはちキスリウといふ月の四日にヱホバの言ゼカリヤに臨めり
2 For they had sent vnto the House of God Sharezer, and Regem-melech and their men to pray before the Lord,
ベテルかの時シヤレゼル、レゲンメレクおよびその從者を遣してヱホバを和めさせ
3 And to speake vnto the Priests, which were in the House of the Lord of hostes, and to the Prophets, saying, Should I weepe in the fift moneth, and separate my selfe as I haue done these so many yeeres?
かつ萬軍のヱホバの室にをる祭司に問しめ且預言者に問しめて言けらく我今まで年久しく爲きたりしごとく尚五月をもて哭きかつ齋戒すべきやと
4 Then came the word of the Lord of hostes vnto me, saying,
ここにおいて萬軍のヱホバの言我に臨めり云く
5 Speake vnto all the people of the land, and to the Priests, and say, When ye fasted, and mourned in the fift and seuenth moneth, euen the seuentie yeeres, did ye fast vnto me? doe I approoue it?
國の諸民および祭司に告て言へ汝らは七十年のあひだ五月と七月とに斷食しかつ哀哭せしがその斷食せし時果して我にむかひて斷食せしや
6 And when ye did eate, and when ye did drinke, did ye not eate for your selues, and drinke for your selues?
汝ら食ひかつ飮は全く己のために食ひ己のために飮ならずや
7 Should ye not heare the wordes, which the Lord hath cryed by the ministerie of the former Prophets when Ierusalem was inhabited, and in prosperitie, and the cities thereof round about her, when the South and the plaine was inhabited?
在昔ヱルサレムおよび周圍の邑々人の住ふありて平安なりし時南の地および平野にも人の住ひをりし時に已往の預言者によりてヱホバの宣ひたりし言を汝ら知ざるや
8 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah, saying,
ヱホバの言ゼカリヤに臨めり云く
9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, Execute true iudgement, and shewe mercy and compassion, euery man to his brother,
萬軍のヱホバかく宣へり云く正義き審判を行ひ互に相愛しみ相憐め
10 And oppresse not the widowe, nor the fatherles, the stranger nor the poore, and let none of you imagine euil against his brother in your heart.
寡婦孤兒旅客および貧者を虐ぐるなかれ人を害せんと心に圖る勿れと
11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their eares, that they should not heare.
然るに彼等は肯て耳を傾けず背を向け耳を鈍くして聽ず
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, least they should heare the Lawe and the wordes which the Lord of hostes sent in his spirit by the ministerie of ye former Prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hostes.
且その心を金剛石のごとくし萬軍のヱホバがその御霊をもて已往の預言者に由て傳へたまひし律法と言詞に聽したがはざりき是をもて大なる怒萬軍のヱホバより出て臨めり
13 Therefore it is come to passe, that as he cried, and they would not heare, so they cried, and I would not heare, sayth the Lord of hostes.
彼かく呼はりたれども彼等聽ざりき其ごとく彼ら呼はるとも我聽じ萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
14 But I scattered them among all the nations, whom they knew not: thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they layd the pleasant land waste.
我かれらをその識ざる諸の國に吹散すべし其後にてこの地は荒て往來する者なきに至らん彼等かく美しき國を荒地となす
