ゼカリヤ書 6
1 我また目を擧て觀しに四輌の車二の山の間より出きたれりその山は銅の山なり
And once again I lifted mine eyes, and looked, and lo! four chariots, coming forward from between two mountains, —now, the mountains, were mountains of copper.
2 第一の車には赤馬を着け第二の車には黑馬を着け
In the first chariot, were red horses, —and, in the second chariot, black horses;
3 第三の車には白馬を着け第四の車には白點なる強馬を着く
and, in the third chariot, white horses, —and, in the fourth chariot, horses spotted, deep red.
4 我すなはち我に語ふ天の使に問て我主よ是等は何なるやと言けるに
Then began I, and said, unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —What are these, my lord?
5 天の使こたへて我に言ふ是は四の天風にして全地の主の前より罷り出たる者なり
And the messenger answered, and said unto me, —These, are the four winds of the heavens, coming forward after each hath presented itself near the Lord of all the earth.
6 黑馬は北の地をさして進み行き白馬その後に從ふ又白點馬は南の地をさして進みゆき
They in whose chariot are the black horses, are going forth into the land of the North, and, the white, have gone forth after them, —and, the spotted, have gone forth into the land of the South;
7 強馬は進み出て地を徧く行めぐらんとす彼汝ら往き地を徧くめぐれと言たまひければ則ち地を行めぐれり
and, the deep red, have come forward and sought to go their way, that they might journey to and fro in the land, so he said, Go your way, journey to and fro in the land, —and they journeyed to and fro in the land.
8 彼われを呼て我に告て言ふこの北の地に往る者等は北の地にて我靈を安んず
Then made he outcry beside me, and spake unto me, saying, —See, these who are going forth into the land of the North, have settled my spirit in the land of the North.
9 ヱホバの言われに臨めり曰く
Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
10 汝かの囚虜人の中の者ヘルダイ、トビヤおよびヱダヤより取ことをせよ即ちその日に汝かれらがバビロンより歸りて宿りをるゼパニヤの子ヨシヤの家に到り
Take of them of the exile, of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, —then shalt, thou thyself, enter, on that day, yea thou shalt enter the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, [with them] who have come in out of Babylon;
11 金銀を取て冠冕を造りヨザダクの子なる祭司の長ヨシユアの首にこれを冠らせ
yea thou shalt take silver and gold, and make a crown, —and set [it] upon the head of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 彼に語りて言べし萬軍のヱホバ斯言たまふ視よ人ありその名を枝といふ彼おのれの處より生いでてヱホバの宮を建ん
then shalt thou speak unto him, saying, Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —Lo! a man! Bud, is his name, and, out of his own place, shall he bud forth, and shall build the temple of Yahweh;
13 即ち彼者ヱホバの宮を建て尊榮を帶びその位に坐して政事を施しその位にありて祭司とならん此二の者の間に平和の計議あるべし
Yea, he, shall build the temple of Yahweh, and, he, shall bear the honour, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, —and shall become a priest upon his throne, and, the counsel of peace, shall be between the two of them.
14 偖またその冠冕はヘレム、トビヤ、ユダヤおよびゼパニヤの子ヘンの記念のために之をヱホバの殿に納むべし
But, the crown, shall belong to Heldai and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, —for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
15 遠き處の者等來りてヱホバの殿を建ん而して汝らは萬軍のヱホバの我を遣したまひしなるを知にいたらん汝らもし汝らの神ヱホバの聲に聽したがはば是のごとくなるべし
And, they who are afar off, shall come in and shall build at the temple of Yahweh, so shall yea know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you, —and it shall come to pass if ye will, indeed hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh your God.
