Zacharias 12
1 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel; says the Lord, that stretches out the sky, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit 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 Behold, I [will] make Jerusalem as trembling door-posts to all the nations round about, and in Judea there shall be a siege against Jerusalem.
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 it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will make Jerusalem a trodden stone to all the nations: every one that tramples on it shall utterly mock at [it], and all the nations of the earth shall 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, says the Lord Almighty, I will strike every horse with amazement, and his rider with madness: but I will open mine eyes upon the house of Juda, and I will strike all the horses of the nations with blindness.
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 captains of thousands of Juda shall say in their hearts, We shall find for ourselves the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the Lord Almighty 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 I will make the captains of thousands of Juda as a firebrand among wood, and as a torch of fire in stubble; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the nations round about: and Jerusalem shall dwell again by herself, [even] in Jerusalem.
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 And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda as at the beginning, that the boast of the house of David, and the pride of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not magnify themselves against Juda.
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 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the weak one among them in that day shall be as David, and the house of David as the house of God, 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 it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
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 pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon me, because they have mocked [me], and they shall make lamentation for him, as for a beloved [friend], and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn [son].
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 the lamentation in Jerusalem shall be very great, as the mourning for the pomegranate grove cut down in the plain.
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 lament in separate families, the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
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 family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Symeon by itself, and their wives by themselves;
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 are left, each family by itself, and their wives by themselves.
其餘所有的家族，各家各族合成一夥，他們的女人一夥。
