ゼカリヤ書 9
1 ヱホバの言詞の重負ハデラクの地に臨むダマスコはその止る所なりヱホバ世の人を眷みイスラエルの一切の支派を眷みたまへばなり
An oracle. The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD;
2 之に界するハマテも然りツロ、シドンも亦はなはだ怜悧ければ同じく然るべし
and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
3 ツロは自己のために城郭を構へ銀を塵のごとくに積み金を街衢の土のごとくに積めり
Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
4 視よ主これを攻取り海にて之が力を打ほろぼしたまふべし是は火にて焚うせん
Look, the LORD will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.
5 アシケロンこれを見て懼れガザもこれを見て太く慄ふエクロンもその望む所の者辱しめらるるに因て亦然りガザには王絶えアシケロンには住者なきに至らん
Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6 アシドドにはまた雑種の民すまん我ペリシテ人が誇る所の者を絶べし
Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 我これが口より血を取除き之が齒の間より憎むべき物を取除かん是も遺りて我儕の神に歸しユダの牧伯のごとくに成べしまたエクロンはヱブス人のごとくになるべし
I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 我わが家のために陣を張て敵軍に當り之をして往來すること無らしめん虐遇者かさねて逼ること無るべし我いま我目をもて親ら見ればなり
I will camp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.
9 シオンの女よ大に喜べヱルサレムの女よ呼はれ視よ汝の王汝に來る彼は正義して拯救を賜り柔和にして驢馬に乗る即ち牝驢馬の子なる駒に乗るなり
Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion. Shout, daughter of Jerusalem. Look, your king comes to you. He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 我エフライムより車を絶ちヱルサレムより馬を絶ん戰爭弓も絶るべし彼國々の民に平和を諭さん其政治は海より海に及び河より地の極におよぶべし
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the farthest parts of the earth.
11 汝についてはまた汝の契約の血のために我かの水なき坑より汝の被俘人を放ち出さん
As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
12 望を懷く被俘人よ汝等城に歸れ我今日もなほ告て言ふ我かならず倍して汝等に賚ふべし
Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
13 我ユダを張て弓となしエフライムを矢となして之につがへんシオンよ我汝の人々を振起してギリシヤの人々を攻しめ汝をして大丈夫の劍のごとくならしむべし
For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
14 ヱホバこれが上に顯れてその箭を電光のごとくに射いだしたまはん主ヱホバ喇叭を吹ならし南の暴風に乗て出來まさん
The LORD will be seen over them; and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and the LORD will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
15 萬軍のヱホバ彼らを護りたまはん彼等は食ふことを爲し投石器の石を踏つけん彼等は飮ことを爲し酒に醉るごとくに聲を擧ん其これに盈さるることは血を盛る鉢のごとく祭壇の隅のごとくなるべし
The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
16 彼らの神ヱホバ當日に彼らを救ひその民を羊のごとくに救ひたまはん彼等は冠冕の玉のごとくになりて其地に輝くべし
The LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
17 その福祉は如何計ぞや其美麗は如何計ぞや穀物は童男を長ぜしめ新酒は童女を長ぜしむ
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty. Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
