Zechariah 9
1 “This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning the land of Hadrak and Damascus, its resting place; for the eyes of all humanity and all the tribes of Israel are toward Yahweh.
神諭：上主的話臨於哈得辣客地，停在大馬士革，因為阿蘭的眼珠也像以色列的各支派一樣，是屬於上主的。
2 This declaration also concerns Hamath, which borders on Damascus, and it concerns Tyre and Sidon, for they are very wise.
哈瑪特也要屬於衪的版圖，還有極其明智的漆東。
3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver like dust and refined gold like mud in the streets.
提洛為自己建築了碉堡，堆積的銀子多如塵土，金子像街市上的泥土。
4 Look! The Lord will dispossess her and destroy her strength on the sea, so she will be devoured by fire.
看，吾主必要佔據她，把她的財富拋入海中；她必為火所吞滅。
5 Ashkelon will see and be afraid! Gaza also will tremble greatly! Ekron, her hopes will be disappointed! The king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall no longer be inhabited!
阿市克隆見了，必要害怕；迦薩也要極度戰憟，厄龍隆也是如此，因為依賴的，遭受了羞辱。
6 Strangers will make their homes in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
迦薩的君王必要喪亡，阿市刻隆沒有人居住。當我這樣消除了培肋舍特人的傲慢，
7 For I will remove their blood from their mouths and their abominations from between their teeth. Then they will become a remnant for our God like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will become like the Jebusites.
由他的口中除去血的祭肉，從他的牙齒間除去可憎的祭肉之後，他的遺民也必要歸屬於我們的天主，有如猶大中的一個家族；厄刻龍也必像耶步斯人。
8 I will camp around my land against enemy armies, so no one can pass through or return, for no oppressor will overrun them, for now I see with my own eyes!
我要我的自作營寨，防禦往來的人，不再讓殘暴者由他們中間經過，因為如今我要親眼防守。
9 Shout with great joy, daughter of Zion! Shout with happiness, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold! Your king is coming to you with righteousness and is rescuing you. He is humble and is riding on a donkey, on the colt of a donkey.
熙雍女子，妳應盡量喜樂! 耶路撒冷女子，妳應該歡呼! 看，妳君王到妳這裏來，衪是正義的，勝利的，謙遜的，騎在驢上，騎在驢駒上。
10 Then I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow will be cut off from battle; for he will speak peace to the nations, and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!
衪由厄弗辣因剷除戰車，從耶路撒冷除掉戰馬，作戰的弓箭也要被消滅；衪要向萬民宣佈和平，衪的權柄由這海到那海，從大河直到地極。
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the pit where there is no water.
妳，熙雍女子! 因了妳盟約的血，我要從無水的地牢中釋放好的俘虜。
12 Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! Even today I am declaring that I will return double to you,
懷著希望的俘虜，必要回到妳這裏。熙雍女子! 我必雙倍償還妳在充軍之日所遭受的一切，
13 for I have bent Judah as my bow. I have filled my quiver with Ephraim. I have roused your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and have made you, Zion, like a warrior's sword!”
因為我要以3作我張開的弓，以厄弗辣因作我弓上的箭。熙雍! 我要鼓勵妳的子民，使妳有如勇士的劍，為攻擊雅汪子民。
14 Yahweh will appear to them, and his arrows will shoot out like lightning! For my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet and will advance with the storms from Teman.
上主必要在他們上面出現，像閃電一般射出衪的箭；吾主上主必要吹起號角，乘著南方的旋風前來。
15 Yahweh of hosts will defend them, and they will devour them and defeat the stones of the slings. Then they will drink and shout like men drunk on wine, and they will be filled with wine like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
萬軍的上主必保衛他們，使他們前進，踐踏石的人；他們必要喝他們的血，有如喝酒；飽享鮮血，有如祭壇的四角。
16 So Yahweh their God will rescue them on that day, as the flock of his people. They are the jewels of a crown that will shine on his land.
到那一天，上主他們的天主，必要拯救他們，要牧放衪的百姓，有如牧羊群；他們將如王冠上的寶石，在衪的地上閃爍。
17 How good and how beautiful they will be! The young men will flourish on grain and the virgins on sweet wine!”
那時，此地是多麼幸福，多麼美麗! 五榖滋養少男；新酒培育少處女。
