< ゼカリヤ書 12 >
1 イスラエルにかかはるヱホバの言詞の重負 ヱホバ即ち天を舒べ地の基を置ゑ人のうちの靈魂を造る者言たまふ
A revelation of the LORD’s word concerning Israel: The LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:
2 視よ我ヱルサレムをしてその周圍の國民を蹌踉はする杯とならしむべしヱルサレムの攻圍まるる時是はユダにも及ばん
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
3 其日には我ヱルサレムをして諸の國民に對ひて重石とならしむべし之を持擧る者は大傷を受ん地上の諸國みな集りて之に攻寄べし
It will happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
4 ヱホバ言たまふ當日には我一切の馬を撃て駭かせその騎手を撃て狂はせん而して我ユダの家の上に我目を開き諸の國民の馬を撃て盲になすべし
In that day,” says the LORD, “I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness. I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
5 ユダの牧伯等その心の中に謂んヱルサレムの居民はその神萬軍のヱホバに由て我力となるべしと
The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of Armies their God.’
6 當日には我ユダの牧伯等をして薪の下にある火盤のごとく麥束の下にある炬火のごとくならしむべし彼等は右左にむかひその周圍の國民を盡く焚んヱルサレム人はなほヱルサレムにてその本の處に居ことを得べし
In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire amongst wood, and like a flaming torch amongst sheaves. They will devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 ヱホバまづユダの幕屋を救ひたまはん是ダビデの家の榮およびヱルサレムの居民の榮のユダに勝ること無らんためたり
The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
8 當日ヱホバ、ヱルサレムの居民を護りたまはん彼らの中の弱き者もその日にはダビデのごとくなるべしまたダビデの家は神のごとく彼らに先だつヱホバの使のごとくなるべし
In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble amongst them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like the LORD’s angel before them.
9 その日には我ヱルサレムに攻きたる國民をことごとく滅すことを務むべし
It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 我ダビデの家およびヱルサレムの居民に恩惠と祈禱の靈をそそがん彼等はその刺たりし我を仰ぎ觀獨子のため哭くがごとく之がために哭き長子のために悲しむがごとく之がために痛く悲しまん
I will pour on David’s house and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. They will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for his firstborn.
11 その日にはヱルサレムに大なる哀哭あらん是はメギドンの谷なるハダデリンモンに在し哀哭のごとくなるべし
In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
12 國中の族おのおの別れ居て哀哭べし即ちダビデの族別れ居て哀哭きその妻等別れ居て哀哭きナタンの家の族別れ居て哀哭きその妻等別れ居て哀哭かん
The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 レビの家の族別れ居て哀哭きその妻等別れ居て哀哭きシメイの族別れ居て哀哭きその妻等わかれ居て哀哭かん
the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
14 その他の族も凡て然りすなはち族おのおの別れ居て哀哭きその妻等別れ居て哀哭くべし
all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
