Zechariah 12
1 The prophecy of the word of the Lord concerning Israel, Saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth 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 a cup of confusion unto all the people round about; and also against Judah, who will have to be at the 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 on that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the people; all that burden themselves with it shall be severely cut: yet then will be gathered together against it all the nations of the earth.
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 On that day, saith the Lord, will I smite every horse with dizziness, and his rider with madness; but over the house of Judah will I open my eyes, while I will smite every horse of the people 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 chiefs of Judah will say in their heart, A strong support for me are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts 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 On that day will I make the chiefs of Judah like a fire-hearth among the wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the people round about; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, 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 The Lord also will save the tents of Judah first: in order that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become boastful over Judah.
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 On that day will the Lord be a shield around the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and the feeblest among them shall be on that day like David; and the house of David shall be like divine beings, like an 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 on that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that are 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 But I will pour out over the house of David, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they will look up toward me [for every one] whom they have thrust through, and they will lament for him, as one lamenteth for an only son, and weep bitterly for him, as one weepeth bitterly for the first-born.
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 On that day will the lamentation be great in Jerusalem, like the lamentation at 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 will mourn, every family apart by itself: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives 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 family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shim'i apart, and their wives 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 remain, every family apart by itself, and their wives apart.
其餘所有的家族，各家各族合成一夥，他們的女人一夥。
