Zechariah 9
1 The burden of a word of YHWH against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh—his place of rest: (When to YHWH [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel).
神諭：上主的話臨於哈得辣客地，停在大馬士革，因為阿蘭的眼珠也像以色列的各支派一樣，是屬於上主的。
2 And also Hamath borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!
哈瑪特也要屬於衪的版圖，還有極其明智的漆東。
3 And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, And heaps silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
提洛為自己建築了碉堡，堆積的銀子多如塵土，金子像街市上的泥土。
4 Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, And He has struck her force in the sea, And she is consumed with fire.
看，吾主必要佔據她，把她的財富拋入海中；她必為火所吞滅。
5 Ashkelon sees and fears, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron—for her expectation dried up, And a king has perished from Gaza, And Ashkelon does not remain,
阿市克隆見了，必要害怕；迦薩也要極度戰憟，厄龍隆也是如此，因為依賴的，遭受了羞辱。
6 “And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellence of the Philistines.
迦薩的君王必要喪亡，阿市刻隆沒有人居住。當我這樣消除了培肋舍特人的傲慢，
7 And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he has remained, even he, to our God, And he has been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.
由他的口中除去血的祭肉，從他的牙齒間除去可憎的祭肉之後，他的遺民也必要歸屬於我們的天主，有如猶大中的一個家族；厄刻龍也必像耶步斯人。
8 And I have pitched a camp for My house, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And an exactor does not pass through against them again, For now, I have seen with My eyes.
我要我的自作營寨，防禦往來的人，不再讓殘暴者由他們中間經過，因為如今我要親眼防守。
9 Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Behold, your King comes to you, Righteous and having salvation, Afflicted—and riding on a donkey, And on a colt—a son of female donkeys.
熙雍女子，妳應盡量喜樂! 耶路撒冷女子，妳應該歡呼! 看，妳君王到妳這裏來，衪是正義的，勝利的，謙遜的，騎在驢上，騎在驢駒上。
10 And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Indeed, the bow of battle has been cut off, And He has spoken peace to nations, And His rule [is] from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.
衪由厄弗辣因剷除戰車，從耶路撒冷除掉戰馬，作戰的弓箭也要被消滅；衪要向萬民宣佈和平，衪的權柄由這海到那海，從大河直到地極。
11 Also You—by the blood of Your covenant, I have sent Your prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.
妳，熙雍女子! 因了妳盟約的血，我要從無水的地牢中釋放好的俘虜。
12 Return to a stronghold, You prisoners of the hope, Even today a second announcer I restore to you.
懷著希望的俘虜，必要回到妳這裏。熙雍女子! 我必雙倍償還妳在充軍之日所遭受的一切，
13 For I have trodden for Myself with Judah, I have filled a bow [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up your sons, O Zion, Against your sons, O Javan, And I have set you as the sword of a hero.”
因為我要以3作我張開的弓，以厄弗辣因作我弓上的箭。熙雍! 我要鼓勵妳的子民，使妳有如勇士的劍，為攻擊雅汪子民。
14 And YHWH appears for them, And His arrow has gone forth as lightning, And Lord YHWH blows with a horn, And He has gone with whirlwinds of the south.
上主必要在他們上面出現，像閃電一般射出衪的箭；吾主上主必要吹起號角，乘著南方的旋風前來。
15 YHWH of Hosts covers them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Indeed, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an altar.
萬軍的上主必保衛他們，使他們前進，踐踏石的人；他們必要喝他們的血，有如喝酒；飽享鮮血，有如祭壇的四角。
16 And their God YHWH has saved them in that day, As a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.
到那一天，上主他們的天主，必要拯救他們，要牧放衪的百姓，有如牧羊群；他們將如王冠上的寶石，在衪的地上閃爍。
17 For what His goodness! And what His beauty! Grain the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!
那時，此地是多麼幸福，多麼美麗! 五榖滋養少男；新酒培育少處女。
