Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
ダリヨスの二年八月のヱホバの言イドの子ベレキヤの子なる預言者ゼカリヤに臨めり云く
2 "The LORD was very displeased with your fathers.
ヱホバいたく汝らの父等を怒りたまへり
3 Therefore tell them: Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Return to me,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will return to you,' says the LORD of hosts.
萬軍のヱホバかく言ふと汝かれらに告よ萬軍のヱホバ言ふ汝ら我に歸れ萬軍のヱホバいふ我も汝らに歸らん
4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;' but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says the LORD.
汝らの父等のごとくならざれ前の預言者等かれらに向ひて呼はりて言り萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ請ふ汝らその惡き道を離れその惡き行を棄てて歸れと然るに彼等は聽ず耳を我に傾けざりきヱホバこれを言ふ
5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
汝らの父等は何處にありや預言者たち永遠に生んや
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded by my Spirit to my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? Then they repented and said, 'Just as the LORD of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.'"
然ながら我僕なる預言者等に我が命じたる吾言とわが法度とは汝らの父等に追及たるに非ずや然ゆゑに彼らかへりて言り萬軍のヱホバ我らの道に循ひ我らの行に循ひて我らに爲んと思ひたまひし事を我らに爲たまへりと
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
ダリヨスの二年十一月すなはちセバテといふ月の二十四日にヱホバの言イドの子ベレキヤの子なる預言者ゼカリヤに臨めり云く
8 "I had a vision in the night, and look, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.
我夜觀しに一箇の人赤馬に乗て谷の裏なる鳥拈樹の中に立ちその後に赤馬 駁馬 白馬をる
9 Then I asked, 'My lord, what are these?'" The angel who talked with me said to me, "I will show you what these are."
我わが主よ是等は何ぞやと問ひけるに我と語ふ天の使われにむかひて是等の何なるをわれ汝に示さんと言り
10 The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said to me, "They are the ones the LORD has sent to go back and forth through the earth."
鳥拈樹の中に立る人答へて言けるは是等は地上を遍く歩かしめんとてヱホバの遣したまひし者なりと
11 They reported to the angel of the LORD who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, "We have walked back and forth through the earth, and look, all the earth is at rest and in peace."
彼ら答へて鳥拈樹の中に立るヱホバの使に言けるは我ら地上を行めぐり觀しに全地は穏にして安し
12 Then the angel of the LORD replied, "O LORD of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?"
ヱホバの使こたへて言ふ萬軍のヱホバよ汝いつまでヱルサレムとユダの邑々を恤みたまはざるか汝はこれを怒りたまひてすでに七十年になりぬと
13 The LORD answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.
ヱホバ我と語ふ天の使に嘉事慰事をもて答へたまへり
14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
かくて我と語ふ天の使我に言けるは汝呼はりて言へ萬軍のヱホバかく言はまふ我ヱルサレムのためシオンのために甚だしく心を熱して嫉妬おもひ
15 I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but only a little angry, but they added to the calamity."
安居せる國々の民を太く怒る其は我すこしく怒りしに彼ら力を出して之に害を加へたればなり
16 Therefore thus says the LORD: "I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house will be built in it," says the LORD of hosts, "and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem."'
ヱホバかく言ふ是故に我憐憫をもてヱルサレムに歸る萬軍のヱホバのたまふ我室その中に建てられ量繩ヱルサレムに張られん
17 "Proclaim further, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem."'"
汝また呼はりて言へ萬軍のヱホバかく宣ふ我邑々には再び嘉物あふれんヱホバふたたびシオンを慰め再びヱルサレムを簡びたまふべしと
18 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four horns.
かくて我目を擧て觀しに四の角ありければ
19 I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" He answered me, "These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."
我に語ふ天の使に是等は何なるやと問しに彼われに答へけるは是等はユダ、イスラエルおよびヱルサレムを散したる角なりと
20 The LORD showed me four craftsmen.
時にヱホバ四箇の鍛冶を我に見し給へり
21 Then I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He said, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."
我是等は何を爲んとて來れるや問しに斯こたへ給へり是等の角はユダを散して人にその頭を擧しめざりし者なるが今この四箇の者來りて之を威しかのユダの地にむかひて角を擧て之を散せし諸國の角を擲たんとす
