1 萬軍のヱホバの言われに臨めり曰く
Againe the worde of the Lord of hostes came to me, saying,
2 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ我シオンのために甚だしく心を熱して妬く思ひ大なる忿怒を起して之がために妬く思ふ
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I was ielous for Zion with great ielousie, and I was ielous for her with great wrath.
3 ヱホバかく言たまふ今我シオンに歸れり我ヱルサレムの中に住んヱルサレムは誠實ある邑と稱へられ萬軍のヱホバの山は聖山と稱へらるべし
Thus saith the Lord, I wil returne vnto Zion, and wil dwel in the mids of Ierusalem: and Ierusalem shalbe called a citie of trueth, and the Mountaine of the Lord of hostes, the holy Mountaine.
4 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふヱルサレムの街衢には再び老たる男老たる女坐せん皆年高くして各々杖を手に持べし
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, There shall yet olde men and olde women dwell in the streetes of Ierusalem, and euery man with his staffe in his hand for very age.
5 またその邑の街衢には男の兒女の兒滿て街衢に遊び戯れん
And the streetes of the citie shalbe full of boyes and girles, playing in the streetes thereof.
6 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふこの事その日には此民の遺餘者の目に奇といふとも我目に何の奇きこと有んや萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Though it be vnpossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these dayes, should it therefore be vnpossible in my sight, sayth the Lord of hostes?
7 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ視よ我わが民を日の出る國より日の入る國より救ひ出し
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will deliuer my people from the East countrey, and from the West countrey.
8 かれらを携へ來りてヱルサレムの中に住しめん彼らは我民となり我は彼らの神となりて共に誠實と正義に居ん
And I wil bring them, and they shall dwel in the mids of Ierusalem, and they shalbe my people, and I wil be their God in trueth, and in righteousnes.
9 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ汝ら萬軍のヱホバの室なる殿を建んとて其基礎を置たる日に起りし預言者等の口の言詞を今日聞く者よ汝らの腕を強くせよ
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Let your hands be strong, ye that heare in these dayes these words by the mouth of the Prophets, which were in the day, that the foundation of the House of the Lord of hostes was laide, that the Temple might be builded.
10 此日の先には人も工の價を得ず獸畜も工の價を得ず出者も入者も仇の故をもて安然ならざりき即ち我人々をして互に相攻しめたり
For before these dayes there was no hire for man nor any hire for beast, neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men, euery one against his neighbour.
11 然れども今は我此民の遺餘者に對すること曩の日の如くならずと萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ
But nowe, I wil not intreate the residue of this people as aforetime, saith the Lord of hostes.
12 即ち平安の種子あるべし葡萄の樹は果を結び地は產物を出し天は露を與へん我この民の遺餘者にこれを盡く獲さすべし
For the seede shall be prosperous: the vine shall giue her fruite, and the ground shall giue her increase, and the heauens shall giue their dewe, and I will cause the remnant of this people to possesse all these things.
13 ユダの家およびイスラエルの家よ汝らが國々の中に呪詛となりしごとく此度は我なんぢらを救ふて祝言とならしめん懼るる勿れ汝らの腕を強くせよ
And it shall come to passe, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Iudah, and house of Israel, so wil I deliuer you, and ye shalbe a blessing: feare not, but let your hands be strong.
14 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ在昔汝らの先祖我を怒らせし時に我これに災禍を降さんと思ひて之を悔ざりき萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, As I thought to punish you, when your fathers prouoked me vnto wrath, sayth the Lord of hostes, and repented not,
15 是のごとく我また今日ヱルサレムとユダの家に福祉を降さんと思ふ汝ら懼るる勿れ
So againe haue I determined in these daies to doe well vnto Ierusalem, and to the house of Iudah: feare ye not.
16 汝らの爲べき事は是なり汝ら各々たがひに眞實を言べし又汝等の門にて審判する時は眞實を執て平和の審判を爲べし
These are ye things that ye shall doe. Speake ye euery man the trueth vnto his neighbour: execute iudgement truely and vprightly in your gates,
17 汝等すべて人の災害を心に圖る勿れ僞の誓を好む勿れ是等はみな我が惡む者なりとヱホバ言たまふ
And let none of you imagine euill in your hearts against his neighbour, and loue no false othe: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord.
18 萬軍のヱホバの言われに臨めり云く
And the worde of the Lord of hostes came vnto me, saying,
19 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ四月の斷食五月の斷食七月の斷食十月の斷食かへつてユダの家の宴樂となり欣喜となり佳節となるべし惟なんぢら眞實と平和を愛すべし
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, The fast of the fourth moneth, and the fast of the fift, and the fast of the seuenth, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Iudah ioy and gladnes, and prosperous hie feasts: therefore loue the trueth and peace.
20 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ國々の民および衆多の邑の居民來り就ん
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, That there shall yet come people, and the inhabitants of great cities.
21 即ちこの邑の居民往てかの邑の者に向ひ我儕すみやかに往てヱホバを和め萬軍のヱホバを求めんと言んに我も往べしと答へん
And they that dwell in one citie, shall go to another, saying, Vp, let vs go and pray before the Lord, and seeke the Lord of hostes: I wil go also.
22 衆多の民強き國民ヱルサレムに來りて萬軍のヱホバを求めヱホバを和めん
Yea, great people and mightie nations shall come to seeke the Lord of hostes in Ierusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
23 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ其日には諸の國語の民十人にてユダヤ人一箇の裾を拉へん即ち之を拉へて言ん我ら汝らと與に往べし其は我ら神の汝らと偕にいますを聞たればなり
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, In those dayes shall ten men take holde out of all languages of the nations, euen take holde of the skirt of him that is a Iewe, and say, We will go with you: for we haue heard that God is with you.
