ゼカリヤ書 10
1 汝ら春の雨の時に雨をヱホバに乞へヱホバは電光を造り大雨を人々に賜ひ田野において草蔬を各々に賜ふべし
Ask of the LORD rain in the spring time, the LORD who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
2 夫テラピムは空虚き事を言ひ卜筮師はその見る所眞實ならずして虚僞の夢を語る其慰むる所は徒然なり是をもて民は羊のごとくに迷ひ牧者なきに因て惱む
For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
3 我牧者にむかひて怒を發す我牡山羊を罰せん萬軍のヱホバその群なるユダの家を顧み之をしてその美しき軍馬のごとくならしめたまふ
My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats, for the LORD of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
4 隅石彼より出で釘かれより出で軍弓かれより出で宰たる者みな齊く彼より出ん
From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
5 彼等戰ふ時は勇士のごとくにして街衢の泥の中に敵を蹂躙らんヱホバかれらとともに在せば彼ら戰はん馬に騎れる者等すなはち媿を抱くべし
They will be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle. They will fight, because the LORD is with them. The riders on horses will be confounded.
6 我ユダの家を強くしヨセフの家を救はん我かれらを恤むが故に彼らをして歸り住しめん彼らは我に棄られし事なきが如くなるべし我は彼らの神ヱホバなり我かれらに聽べし
“I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, for I have mercy on them. They will be as though I had not cast them off, for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them.
7 エフライム人は勇士に等しくして酒を飮たるごとく心に歡ばん其子等は見て喜びヱホバに因て心に樂しまん
Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine. Yes, their children will see it and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in the LORD.
8 我かれらに向ひて嘯きて之を集めん其は我これを贖ひたればなり彼等は昔殖増たる如くに殖増ん
I will signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were before.
9 我かれらを國々の民の中に捲ん彼等は遠き國において我をおぼへん彼らは其子等とともに生ながらへて歸り來るべし
I will sow them amongst the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will return.
10 我かれらをエジプトの國より携へかへりアッスリヤより彼等を集めギレアデの地およびレバノンに彼らを携へゆかんその居處も無きほどなるべし
I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there won’t be room enough for them.
11 彼艱難の海を通り海の浪を撃破りたまふナイルの淵は盡く涸るアッスリヤの傲慢は卑くせられエジプトの杖は移り去ん
He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt will depart.
12 我彼らをしてヱホバに由て強くならしめん彼等はヱホバの名をもて歩まんヱホバこれを言たまふ
I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
