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
They asked of Jehovah rain in a time of latter rain, Jehovah is making lightnings, And rain [in] showers He doth give to them. To each — the herb 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
Because the teraphim did speak iniquity, And the diviners have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak, [With] vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed as a flock, They are afflicted, for 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
Against the shepherds did Mine anger burn, And against the he-goats I lay a charge, For inspected hath Jehovah of Hosts His flock, the house of Judah, And set them as His beauteous horse in 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 [is] a corner-stone, From him a nail, from him a battle-bow, From him goeth forth every exactor 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
And they have been as heroes, Treading in mire of out-places in battle, And they have fought, for Jehovah [is] with them, And have put to shame riders of horses.
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
And I have made mighty the house of Judah, And the house of Joseph I do save, And I have caused them to dwell, for I have loved them, And they have been as [if] I had not cast them off, For I [am] Jehovah their God, And I answer 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
And Ephraim hath been as a hero, And rejoiced hath their heart as wine, And their sons see, and they have rejoiced, Rejoice doth their heart in Jehovah.
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 hist for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they did multiply.
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
And I sow them among peoples, And in far-off places they remember Me, And they have lived with their sons, And they have turned back.
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
And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And from Asshur I do gather them, And unto the land of Gilead and Lebanon I do bring them in, And there is not found for them [space].
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
And He hath passed over through the sea, And hath pressed and smitten billows in the sea, And dried up have been all depths of a flood, And brought down hath been the excellency of Asshur, And the rod of Egypt doth turn aside.
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
And I have made them mighty in Jehovah, And in His name they walk up and down, An affirmation of Jehovah!
