Zacharias 7
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, [that] the word of the Lord came to Zacharias on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, which is Chaseleu.
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 And Sarasar and Arbeseer the king and his men sent to Bethel, and [that] to propitiate 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 speaking to the priests that were in the house of the Lord Almighty, and to the prophets, saying, The holy offering has come in hither in the fifth month, as it has done already many years.
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 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
ここにおいて萬軍のヱホバの言我に臨めり云く
5 Speak to the whole people of the land, and to the priests, saying, Though you fasted or lamented in the fifth or seventh [months] (yes, behold, these seventy years) have you at all fasted to me?
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 if you eat or drink, do you not eat and drink for yourselves?
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 Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and her cities round about her, and the hill country and the low country 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 word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying,
ヱホバの言ゼカリヤに臨めり云く
9 Thus says the Lord Almighty; Judge righteous judgment, and deal mercifully and compassionately every one with 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 oppress not the widow, or the fatherless, or the stranger, or the poor; and let not one of you remember in his heart the injury of his brother.
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 attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear.
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 And they made their heart disobedient, so as not to listen to my law, and the words which the Lord Almighty sent forth by his Spirit by the former prophets: so there was great wrath from the Lord Almighty.
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 And it shall come to pass, [that] as he spoke, and they listened not, so they shall cry, and I will not listen, says the Lord Almighty.
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 And I will cast them out among all the nations, whom they know not; and the land behind them shall be made utterly destitute of any going through or returning: yes they have made the choice land a desolation.
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
