< 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内の靈魂を造る者言たまふ
An oracle. This is the message of the Lord about Israel. The Lord who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the human spirit within people 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
Look! I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness for all the surrounding peoples. There will be a siege of 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
On that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone to be lifted up by all the peoples. All who lift it up will surely hurt themselves! 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
On that day, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness. But over the house of Judah I will keep watch, though I strike every horse belonging to 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
And the chieftains of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The strength of the inhabitants is in the Lord of hosts 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 in the woods, like a torch among sheaves, they will devour right and left all the surrounding peoples. But Jerusalem will abide on its own site.
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
And the Lord will first give victory to the tents of Judah, so that the glory of the house of David, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not exalted 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 protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the feeblest among them will in that day be like David, and the house of David like God, like the messenger of the Lord 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
And in that day I will seek to destroy all the nations who have come up 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
And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of pity and compassion. They will look on him whom they have pierced and they will lament for him as one laments for an only son. They will bitterly grieve for him as one grieves for the 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りし哀哭のごとくなるべし
In that day mourning will be as great in Jerusalem as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain 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
And the land will mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves, and the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves,
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
and the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves, the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves,
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
and all the families who are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
