< Zechariah 14 >
1 Listen! It will soon be the time when Yahweh [will judge everyone]. At that time, the possessions that were taken from you [people of Jerusalem by your enemies will be returned to you, and] will be divided among you.
見よ、主の日が来る。その時あなたの奪われた物は、あなたの中で分かたれる。
2 [Before that happens, ] Yahweh will cause [the armies of] many [HYP] nations to attack Jerusalem. They will capture the city and steal all the valuable things from your houses and rape the women. They will take half of the people to other countries, but the other half of the people will be allowed to remain in the city.
わたしは万国の民を集めて、エルサレムを攻め撃たせる。町は取られ、家はかすめられ、女は犯され、町の半ばは捕えられて行く。しかし残りの民は町から断たれることはない。
3 Then Yahweh will go out to fight against those nations; he will fight like [SIM] [soldiers] fight in a battle.
その時、主は出てきて、いくさの日にみずから戦われる時のように、それらの国びとと戦われる。
4 On that day, he will stand on Olive [Tree] Hill, east of Jerusalem. Olive [Tree] Hill will be split into two [parts], with a large valley between the parts. Half of the hill will move toward the north and half [will move] toward the south.
その日には彼の足が、東の方エルサレムの前にあるオリブ山の上に立つ。そしてオリブ山は、非常に広い一つの谷によって、東から西に二つに裂け、その山の半ばは北に、半ばは南に移り、
5 People will flee through that valley which extends to the other side (OR, to Azel), like [SIM] people fled when there was an earthquake during the time that King Uzziah ruled Judah. Then Yahweh my God will come with his holy [angels].
わが山の谷はふさがれる。裂けた山の谷が、そのかたわらに接触するからである。そして、あなたがたはユダの王ウジヤの世に、地震を避けて逃げたように逃げる。こうして、あなたがたの神、主はこられる、もろもろの聖者と共にこられる。
6 At that time, there will be no light [from the sun]; it will not become cold and there will be no frost.
その日には、寒さも霜もない。
7 There has been no other time like that time, and only Yahweh knows when it will happen. There will be no daytime or nighttime; there will be [light continually], [even] in the evening.
そこには長い連続した日がある(主はこれを知られる)。これには昼もなく、夜もない。夕暮になっても、光があるからである。
8 At that time, running/fresh water will flow from Jerusalem. One stream will flow toward the east to the [Dead] Sea. The other stream will flow toward the west to the [Mediterranean] Sea. The water will flow [all the time], during (summer/the hot season) as well as in (winter/the cold season).
その日には、生ける水がエルサレムから流れ出て、その半ばは東の海に、その半ばは西の海に流れ、夏も冬もやむことがない。
9 After that time, Yahweh will be the king [who rules] the entire world. [Everyone will know that] Yahweh, and only Yahweh [MTY], is the true God.
主は全地の王となられる。その日には、主ひとり、その名一つのみとなる。
10 [At that time, ] all the land [in Judah] from Geba [town at the north] to Rimmon [town far to] the south of Jerusalem, will become a plain. Jerusalem will remain raised up like it has always been. [It will extend] from the Benjamin Gate and the First Gate [northeast] to the Tower of Hananel, and to the king’s winepresses [to the southwest].
全地はゲバからエルサレムの南リンモンまで、平地のように変る。しかしエルサレムは高くなって、そのもとの所にとどまり、ベニヤミンの門から、先にあった門の所に及び、隅の門に至り、ハナネルのやぐらから、王の酒ぶねにまで及ぶ。
11 Many people will live there, and the city will never be destroyed again. It will be a safe city.
その中には人が住み、もはやのろいはなく、エルサレムは安らかに立つ。
12 But Yahweh will cause the people in all the nations that attacked Jerusalem to be afflicted by a (plague/severe illness). Their flesh will rot while they are still standing up. Their eyes will rot in their sockets and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
エルサレムを攻撃したもろもろの民を、主は災をもって撃たれる。すなわち彼らはなお足で立っているうちに、その肉は腐れ、目はその穴の中で腐れ、舌はその口の中で腐れる。
13 At that time, Yahweh will cause many people to panic. People will grab and attack each other.
その日には、主は彼らを大いにあわてさせられるので、彼らはおのおのその隣り人を捕え、手をあげてその隣り人を攻める。
14 [The people who live in other places in] Judah will fight to defend Jerusalem. They will collect the valuable things from the surrounding nations—a lot of gold and silver and clothes.
ユダもまた、エルサレムに敵して戦う。その周囲のすべての国びとの財宝、すなわち金銀、衣服などが、はなはだ多く集められる。
15 The same plague [that will afflict the people of other nations] will afflict their horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the other work animals in their (camps/places where they have set up their tents).
また馬、騾、らくだ、ろば、およびその陣営にあるすべての家畜にも、この災のような災が臨む。
16 The people of other nations who [previously] came [to fight] against Jerusalem, all those who are still alive, will return to Jerusalem every year to worship the King, the Commander of the armies of angels, and to celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
エルサレムに攻めて来たもろもろの国びとの残った者は、皆年々上って来て、王なる万軍の主を拝み、仮庵の祭を守るようになる。
17 If there are people in those nations who do not go [to Jerusalem to worship there], rain will not fall on their land.
地の諸族のうち、王なる万軍の主を拝むために、エルサレムに上らない者の上には、雨が降らない。
18 If the people of Egypt [or any other nation] do not go to Jerusalem, [they will not have any rain]. And Yahweh will cause them to experience the same plague that afflicted the [people of other] nations that did not celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
エジプトの人々が、もし上ってこない時には、主が仮庵の祭を守るために、上ってこないすべての国びとを撃たれるその災が、彼らの上に臨む。
19 That is how [Yahweh] will punish [the people of] Egypt and [the people of] any [other] nation who do not go [to Jerusalem] to celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
これが、エジプトびとの受ける罰、およびすべて仮庵の祭を守るために上ってこない国びとの受ける罰である。
20 At that time, [the words] ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ will be written on the bells that are fastened to the horses. The [cooking] pots in [the courtyard of the] temple will be [sacred], like the bowls that are near the altar.
その日には、馬の鈴の上に「主に聖なる者」と、しるすのである。また主の宮のなべは、祭壇の前の鉢のように、聖なる物となる。
21 Every pot in Jerusalem and [in other places in] Judah will be dedicated to the Commander of the armies of angels. So everyone who offers sacrifices [there in Jerusalem] will be able to take some of the meat that has been brought for sacrifices, and cook it in their own pots. And at that time, people will no longer buy or sell things in [the courtyard of] the temple of the Commander of the armies of angels.
エルサレムおよびユダのすべてのなべは、万軍の主に対して聖なる物となり、すべて犠牲をささげる者は来てこれを取り、その中で犠牲の肉を煮ることができる。その日には、万軍の主の宮に、もはや商人はいない。
