< 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:
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 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;
「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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, 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.
「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 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.
「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, 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.
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 it shall come to pass, in that day, —That I will seek to destroy all the nations, that come against Jerusalem.
那日,我必定意滅絕來攻擊耶路撒冷各國的民。
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, will the wailing, be great, in Jerusalem, as the wailing of Hadadrimmon, in the valley of Megiddon;
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 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;
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 The family of the house of Levi, apart, and their wives apart, the family of Shimei, apart, —and their wives apart:
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 All the families that remain, family by family, apart, —and their wives, apart.
其餘的各家,男的獨在一處,女的獨在一處。
