Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, 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 Yahweh, was sore displeased, with your fathers:
ヱホバいたく汝らの父等を怒りたまへり
3 therefore shalt thou say unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Return ye unto me, urgeth Yahweh of hosts, —that I may return unto you, saith Yahweh 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 become like your fathers, unto whom the former prophets, proclaimed, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Return, I pray you, from your wicked ways, and from your wicked practices; but they heard not, nor hearkened unto me, declareth Yahweh.
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, to times age-abiding, do they live?
汝らの父等は何處にありや預言者たち永遠に生んや
6 Howbeit, as for my words and my statutes with which I charged my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and so they returned and said, Just as Yahweh of hosts planned to do unto us, according to our ways and according to our practices, So hath he 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 Upon the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the same, is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, as followeth:
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 looked by night, And lo! a man riding upon a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees, in the shade; and, after him, were horses, red, bay, and white.
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 said I, What are these, my lord? And the messenger who was speaking with me, said unto me, I, will shew thee what these, are.
我わが主よ是等は何ぞやと問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 So the man who was standing among the myrtle-trees responded, and said, —These, are they whom Yahweh, hath sent, to go to and fro 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 Then responded they to the messenger of Yahweh, who was standing among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have gone to and fro through the earth, —and lo! all the earth, resteth and is quiet.
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穩にして安し
12 Then the messenger of Yahweh responded, and said, O Yahweh of hosts! How long wilt, thou, not have compassion upon Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, —against which thou hast 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 And Yahweh answered the messenger who was speaking with me, in words that were pleasant, —words that were consoling,
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 Then the messenger who was speaking with me, said unto me, Proclaim thou, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh 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た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 And, with a great displeasure, am I displeased with the careless nations, —in that, when, I, was displeased (for) a little, then, they, helped forward 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 Wherefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, I have returned to Jerusalem, with compassions, My house, shall be built therein, declareth Yahweh 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られ量繩ヱルサレムに張られん
17 Further, proclaim thou, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet, shall my cities overflow with blessing! So will Yahweh yet, have compassion, upon Zion, and yet make choice of 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 Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, —and lo! Four Horns.
かくて我目を擧て觀しに四の角ありければ
19 And I said unto the messenger who was speaking with me, What are these? And he said unto 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 Then Yahweh shewed me Four Craftsmen.
時にヱホバ四箇の鍛冶を我に見し給へり
21 And I said, What are these coming in to do? And he spake, saying, These, are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head, but these [others] have come in to put them in fear, to cast down the horns of the nations, the which have lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter her.
我是等は何を爲んとて來れるやと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
