Zechariah 12
1 The oracle of the word of Yahweh, on Israel, —Declareth Yahweh—Stretching out the heavens, and founding the earth, and fashioning 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 Lo! I am making Jerusalem a bowl of reeling to all the peoples, round about, —Moreover also, on Judah, shall it be in 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, in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a lifting-stone, to all the peoples, all who seek to lift her, shall, cut themselves in pieces, —though all the nations of the earth, gather themselves together against her.
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 In that day, Declareth Yahweh, I will smite every horse with terror, and his rider with madness, —and, over the house of Judah, will I keep opening mine eyes, and, every horse of the peoples, will I smite 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 Then will the chiefs of Judah say in their hearts, —A strength unto me, [would be] the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in Yahweh 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 In that day, will I make the chiefs of Judah like a pan of fire among sticks, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf, so shall they devour, on the right hand and on the left, all the peoples round about; so shall Jerusalem yet, be inhabited, in her own place, as 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 But Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, —lest the honour of the house of David, and the honour of the inhabitant of Jerusalem, should be magnified 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 In that day, will Yahweh, throw a covering, around the inhabitant of Jerusalem, so shall the tottering among them, in that day, become like David, —and the house of David—like God, like the messenger of Yahweh, 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, in that day, —That I will seek to destroy all the nations, that 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 upon the house of David and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem, the spirit of favour, and of supplications, and they will look unto me, whom they have pierced, —and will wail over him, as one waileth over an only son, and will make bitter outcry over him, as one maketh bitter outcry over a firstborn.
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 In that day, will the wailing, be great, in Jerusalem, as the wailing of 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 So shall the land, wail, family by family, apart, —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 Shimei, 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, family by family, apart, —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。
