Zechariah 12
1 An oracle. This is the message of the Lord about Israel. The Lord who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the human spirit within people says:
耶和華論以色列的默示。 鋪張諸天、建立地基、造人裏面之靈的耶和華說：
2 Look! I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness for all the surrounding peoples. There will be a siege of Jerusalem.
「我必使耶路撒冷被圍困的時候，向四圍列國的民成為令人昏醉的杯；這默示也論到猶大。
3 On that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone to be lifted up by all the peoples. All who lift it up will surely hurt themselves! And all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
那日，我必使耶路撒冷向聚集攻擊他的萬民當作一塊重石頭；凡舉起的必受重傷。
4 On that day, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness. But over the house of Judah I will keep watch, though I strike every horse belonging to the peoples with blindness.
耶和華說：到那日，我必使一切馬匹驚惶，使騎馬的顛狂。我必看顧猶大家，使列國的一切馬匹瞎眼。
5 And the chieftains of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The strength of the inhabitants is in the Lord of hosts their God.’
猶大的族長必心裏說：『耶路撒冷的居民倚靠萬軍之耶和華－他們的上帝，就作我們的能力。』
6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire in the woods, like a torch among sheaves, they will devour right and left all the surrounding peoples. But Jerusalem will abide on its own site.
「那日，我必使猶大的族長如火盆在木柴中，又如火把在禾捆裏；他們必左右燒滅四圍列國的民。耶路撒冷人必仍住本處，就是耶路撒冷。
7 And the Lord will first give victory to the tents of Judah, so that the glory of the house of David, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not exalted above Judah.
「耶和華必先拯救猶大的帳棚，免得大衛家的榮耀和耶路撒冷居民的榮耀勝過猶大。
8 In that day the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the feeblest among them will in that day be like David, and the house of David like God, like the messenger of the Lord before them.
那日，耶和華必保護耶路撒冷的居民。他們中間軟弱的必如大衛；大衛的家必如上帝，如行在他們前面之耶和華的使者。
9 And in that day I will seek to destroy all the nations who have come up against Jerusalem.
那日，我必定意滅絕來攻擊耶路撒冷各國的民。
10 And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of pity and compassion. They will look on him whom they have pierced and they will lament for him as one laments for an only son. They will bitterly grieve for him as one grieves for the firstborn.
「我必將那施恩叫人懇求的靈，澆灌大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民。他們必仰望我，就是他們所扎的；必為我悲哀，如喪獨生子，又為我愁苦，如喪長子。
11 In that day mourning will be as great in Jerusalem as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
那日，耶路撒冷必有大大的悲哀，如米吉多平原之哈達臨門的悲哀。
12 And the land will mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves, and the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves,
境內一家一家地都必悲哀。大衛家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。拿單家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。
13 and the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves, the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves,
利未家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。示每家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。
14 and all the families who are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
其餘的各家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。
