2 ベテルかの時シヤレゼル、レゲンメレクおよびその從者を遣してヱホバを和めさせ
And Beth-El sends Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of YHWH,
3 かつ萬軍のヱホバの室にをる祭司に問しめ且豫言者に問しめて言けらく我今まで年久しく爲きたりしごとく尚五月をもて哭きかつ齋戒すべきやと
speaking to the priests who [are] at the house of YHWH of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, “Do I weep in the fifth month—being separated—as I have done these so many years?”
4 ここにおいて萬軍のヱホバの言我に臨めり云く
And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts to me, saying,
5 國の諸民および祭司に告て言へ汝らは七十年のあひだ五月と七月とに斷食しかつ哀哭せしがその斷食せし時果して我にむかひて斷食せしや
“Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,
6 汝ら食ひかつ飮は全く己のために食ひ己のために飮ならずや
When you fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh [months]—even these seventy years—did you keep the fast [to] Me? And when you eat, and when you drink, is it not you who are eating, and you who are drinking?
7 在昔ヱルサレムおよび周圍の邑々人の住ふありて平安なりし時南の地および平野にも人の住ひをりし時に已往の預言者によりてヱホバの宣ひたりし言を汝ら知ざるや
Are [these] not the words that YHWH proclaimed by the hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem’s being inhabited, and [in] safety, and its cities around it, and the south and the plain—abiding?”
8 ヱホバの言ゼカリヤに臨めり云く

9 萬軍のヱホバかく宣へり云く正義き審判を行ひ互に相愛しみ相憐め
“Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Judge [with] true judgment, And do kindness and mercy with one another.
10 寡婦孤兒旅客および貧者を虐ぐるなかれ人を害せんと心に圖る勿れと
And do not oppress widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, And you do not devise the calamity of one another in your heart.
11 然るに彼等は肯て耳を傾けず背を向け耳を鈍くして聽ず
And they refuse to attend, And they give a stubborn shoulder, And their ears are made heavy against hearing.
12 且その心を金剛石のごとくし萬軍のヱホバがその御霊をもて已往の預言者に由て傳へたまひし律法と言詞に聽したがはざりき是をもて大なる怒萬軍のヱホバより出て臨めり
And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the Law, and the words, That YHWH of Hosts sent by His Spirit, By the hand of the former prophets, And there is great wrath from YHWH of Hosts.
13 彼かく呼はりたれども彼等聽ざりき其ごとく彼ら呼はるとも我聽じ萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
And it comes to pass, as He called, And they have not listened, So they call, and I do not listen,” said YHWH of Hosts.
14 我かれらをその識ざる諸の國に吹散すべし其後にてこの地は荒て往來する者なきに至らん彼等かく美しき國を荒地となす
“And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not known, The land has been desolate behind them, Of any passing by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a desolation!”
