Zechariah 9
1 An oracle. The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD;
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 Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
哈瑪特也要屬於衪的版圖，還有極其明智的漆東。
3 Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
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 Look, the LORD will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured 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 will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
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 Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride 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 I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain 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 I will camp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: 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 greatly, daughter of Zion. Shout, daughter of Jerusalem. Look, your king comes to you. He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
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 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the farthest parts 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 As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
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 Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double 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 indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
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 The LORD will be seen over them; and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and the LORD will blow the trumpet, and will go 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 The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the 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 The LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
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 how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty. Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
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。
