ゼカリヤ書 8
1 萬軍のヱホバの言われに臨めり曰く
And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts, 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 said YHWH of Hosts: I have been zealous for Zion with great zeal, With great heat I have been zealous for her.
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 said YHWH: I have turned back to Zion, And I have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And Jerusalem has been called The City of Truth, And The Mountain of YHWH of Hosts, The Holy Mountain.
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 said YHWH of Hosts: Again old men and old women dwell In broad places of Jerusalem, And each his staff in his hand, Because of abundance of days.
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 broad places of the city are full of boys and girls, Playing in its broad places.
6 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふこの事其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 said YHWH of Hosts: Surely it is wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, Also in My eyes it is wonderful, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
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 said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am saving My people from the land of the rising, And from the land of the going in, of the sun,
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 have brought them in, They have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, In truth and in righteousness.
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 said YHWH of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, You who are hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets, That in the day the house of YHWH of Hosts has been founded, The temple [is] to be built.
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 those days there has been no hiring of man, Indeed, a hiring of beasts there is none; And to him who is going out, And to him who is coming in, There is no peace because of the adversary, And I send all men—each against his neighbor.
11 然れども今は我此民の遺餘者に對すること曩の日のごとくならずと萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ
And now, not as [in] the former days [am] I to the remnant of this people, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
12 即ち平安の種子あるべし葡萄の樹は果を結び地は産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
Because of the sowing of peace, The vine gives her fruit, And the earth gives her increase, And the heavens give their dew, And I have caused the remnant of this people To inherit all these.
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 has come to pass, As you have been a reviling among nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel, So I save you, and you have been a blessing, Do not fear, 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 said YHWH of Hosts: As I purposed to do evil to you, When your fathers made Me angry—said YHWH of Hosts—And I did not relent,
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 I have turned back, I have purposed, in these days, To do good with Jerusalem, And with the house of Judah—do not fear!
16 汝らの爲べき事は是なり汝ら各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] the things that you do: Each speak truth with his neighbor, Judge [with] truth and peaceful judgment 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 do not devise the evil of his neighbor in your heart, And do not love a false oath, For all these [are] things that I have hated, A declaration of YHWH.”
18 萬軍のヱホバの言われに臨めり云く
And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts to 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 said YHWH of Hosts: The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth [months], are to the house of Judah for joy and for rejoicing, and for pleasant appointed times, and the truth and the peace they have loved.
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 said YHWH of Hosts: Yet peoples come, and inhabitants of many 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
Indeed, inhabitants of one Have gone to another, saying, We go diligently, To appease the face of YHWH, To seek YHWH of Hosts—I go, even I.
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
Indeed, many peoples have come in, and mighty nations, To seek YHWH of Hosts in Jerusalem, And to appease the face of YHWH.
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 said YHWH of Hosts: In those days ten men of all languages of the nations take hold, Indeed, they have taken hold on the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying, We go with you, for we heard God [is] with you!”
