1 And it came to pass1961 in the fourth702 year8141 of king4428 Darius,1867 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 Zechariah2148 in the fourth702 day of the ninth8671 month,2320 even in Chisleu;3691
|
1 大流士王第四年九月，就是基斯流月初四日，耶和華的話臨到撒迦利亞；
|
|
2 When they had sent7971 unto the house of God1008 Sherezer8272 and Regem-melech,7278 and their men,376 to pray2470 853 before6440 the LORD,3068
|
2 那時他們［they］已經打發沙利亞和利堅．米勒，並跟從他們的人，往神的殿［unto the house of God］在耶和華面前祈禱［pray before the LORD］，
|
|
3 And to speak559 unto413 the priests3548 which834 were in the house1004 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and to413 the prophets,5030 saying,559 Should I weep1058 in the fifth2549 month,2320 separating myself,5144 as834 I have done6213 these2088 so many4100 years?8141
|
3 並問大軍之耶和華殿中的祭司和先知說：「我歷年以來，在五月間哭泣齋戒，現在還當這樣行嗎？」
|
|
4 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 unto413 me, saying,559
|
4 大軍之耶和華的話就臨到我說：
|
|
5 Speak559 unto413 all3605 the people5971 of the land,776 and to413 the priests,3548 saying,559 When3588 ye fasted6684 and mourned5594 in the fifth2549 and seventh7637 month, even those2088 seventy7657 years,8141 did ye at all fast6684 6684 unto me, even to me?589
|
5 「你要宣告國內的眾民和祭司，說：『你們那［those］七十年，在五月、七月禁食悲哀，豈是絲毫向我禁食嗎？
|
|
6 And when3588 ye did eat,398 and when3588 ye did drink,8354 did not3808 ye859 eat398 for yourselves, and drink8354 for yourselves?
|
6 那時［did］，你們吃喝，不是為自己吃，為自己喝嗎？
|
|
7 Should ye not3808 hear853 the words1697 which834 the LORD3068 hath cried7121 by3027 the former7223 prophets,5030 when Jerusalem3389 was1961 inhabited3427 and in prosperity,7961 and the cities5892 thereof round about5439 her, when men inhabited3427 the south5045 and the plain?8219
|
7 當耶路撒冷和四圍的城邑有居民，正興盛，南地和平原［and the plain］有人居住的時候，耶和華藉從前的先知所宣告的話，你們不當聽嗎？』」
|
|
8 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 Zechariah,2148 saying,559
|
8 耶和華的話又臨到撒迦利亞說：
|
|
9 Thus3541 speaketh559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 saying,559 Execute8199 true571 judgment,4941 and show6213 mercy2617 and compassions7356 every man376 to854 his brother: 251
|
9 「大軍之耶和華如此說［Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts］：『要按至理判斷，各人以慈愛憐憫待自己兄弟［to his brother］。
|
|
10 And oppress6231 not408 the widow,490 nor the fatherless,3490 the stranger,1616 nor the poor;6041 and let none408 of you imagine2803 evil7451 376 against his brother251 in your heart.3824
|
10 不可欺壓寡婦、無父的［fatherless］、作客旅的［stranger］，和貧窮人；你們［you］誰都不可心裏謀害他的兄弟［his brother］。』」
|
|
11 But they refused3985 to hearken,7181 and pulled5414 away5637 the shoulder,3802 and stopped3513 their ears,241 that they should not hear.4480 8085
|
11 他們卻不肯聽從，扭轉肩頭，塞耳不聽。
|
|
12 Yea, they made7760 their hearts3820 as an adamant stone,8068 lest they should hear4480 8085 the853 law,8451 and the words1697 which834 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 hath sent7971 in his spirit7307 by3027 the former7223 prophets:5030 therefore came1961 a great1419 wrath7110 from4480 854 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
|
12 他們［they］使心硬如金鋼石，免得他們聽從［lest they should hear］律法和大軍之耶和華用靈藉從前的先知所說的話；故此，大軍之耶和華大發烈怒。
|
|
13 Therefore it is come to pass,1961 that as834 he cried,7121 and they would not3808 hear;8085 so3651 they cried,7121 and I would not3808 hear,8085 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts: 6635
|
13 所以［Therefore］，大軍之耶和華說：「我曾呼喚他們，他們不聽；將來他們呼求我，我也不聽。
|
|
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind5590 among5921 all3605 the nations1471 whom834 they knew3045 not.3808 Thus the land776 was desolate8074 after310 them, that no man passed through4480 5674 nor returned:4480 7725 for they laid7760 the pleasant2532 land776 desolate.8047
|
14 我卻以旋風吹散了他們［But I scattered them with a whirlwind］，散到他們［they］素不認識的列國中。這樣，他們的地就荒涼，甚至無人來往經過；因為他們使美好之地荒涼了。」
