Zechariah

Chapter 1

1 In the eighth8066 month,2320 in the second8147 year8141 of Darius,1867 came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 to Zechariah,2148 the son1121 of Berechiah,1296 the son1121 of Iddo5714 the prophet,5030 saying,559

2 The LORD3068 has been sore displeased7107 with your fathers.1

3 Therefore say559 you to them, Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Turn7725 you to me, said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and I will turn7725 to you, said559 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

4 Be you not as your fathers,1 to whom834 413 the former7223 prophets5030 have cried,7121 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Turn7725 you now4994 from your evil7451 ways,1870 and from your evil7451 doings:4611 but they did not hear,8085 nor3808 listen7181 to me, said5002 the LORD.3068

5 Your fathers,1 where346 are they? and the prophets,5030 do they live2421 for ever?5769

6 But my words1697 and my statutes,2706 which834 I commanded6680 my servants5650 the prophets,5030 did they not take5381 hold5381 of your fathers?1 and they returned7725 and said,559 Like as the LORD3068 of hosts6635 thought2161 to do6213 to us, according to our ways,1870 and according to our doings,4611 so3651 has he dealt6213 with us.

7 On the four702 and twentieth6242 day3117 of the eleventh6249 6240 month,2320 which1931 is the month2320 Sebat,7627 in the second8147 year8141 of Darius,1867 came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 to Zechariah,2148 the son1121 of Berechiah,1296 the son1121 of Iddo5714 the prophet,5030 saying,559

8 I saw7200 by night,3915 and behold2009 a man376 riding7392 on a red122 horse,5483 and he stood5975 among996 the myrtle1918 trees that were in the bottom;4699 and behind310 him were there red122 horses,5483 speckled,8320 and white.3836

9 Then said559 I, O my lord,113 what4100 are these?428 And the angel4397 that talked1696 with me said559 to me, I will show7200 you what4100 these428 be.

10 And the man376 that stood5975 among996 the myrtle1918 trees answered6030 and said,559 These428 are they whom834 the LORD3068 has sent7971 to walk1980 to and fro through the earth.776

11 And they answered6030 the angel4397 of the LORD3068 that stood5975 among996 the myrtle1918 trees, and said,559 We have walked1980 to and fro through the earth,776 and, behold,2009 all3605 the earth776 sits3427 still, and is at rest.8252

12 Then the angel4397 of the LORD3068 answered6030 and said,559 O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 how5704 long5704 will you not have mercy7355 on Jerusalem3389 and on the cities5892 of Judah,3063 against which834 you have had indignation2194 these2088 three score7657 and ten years?8141

13 And the LORD3068 answered6030 the angel4397 that talked1696 with me with good2896 words1697 and comfortable5150 words.1697

14 So the angel4397 that communed1696 with me said559 to me, Cry7121 you, saying,559 Thus3541 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 I am jealous7065 for Jerusalem3389 and for Zion6726 with a great1419 jealousy.7068

15 And I am very sore displeased7107 with the heathen1471 that are at ease:7600 for I was but a little4592 displeased,7107 and they helped5826 forward the affliction.7451

16 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 I am returned7725 to Jerusalem3389 with mercies:7356 my house1004 shall be built1129 in it, said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and a line6957 shall be stretched5186 forth on Jerusalem.3389

17 Cry7121 yet,5750 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 My cities5892 through prosperity2896 shall yet5750 be spread6327 abroad;6527 and the LORD3068 shall yet5750 comfort5162 Zion,6726 and shall yet5750 choose977 Jerusalem.3389

18 Then lifted5375 I up my eyes,5869 and saw,7200 and behold2009 four702 horns.7161

19 And I said559 to the angel4397 that talked1696 with me, What4100 be these?428 And he answered559 me, These428 are the horns7161 which834 have scattered2219 Judah,3063 Israel,3478 and Jerusalem.3389

20 And the LORD3068 showed7200 me four702 carpenters.2796

21 Then said559 I, What4100 come935 these428 to do?6213 And he spoke,559 saying,559 These428 are the horns7161 which834 have scattered2219 Judah,3063 so that no3808 man376 did lift5375 up his head:7218 but these428 are come935 to fray2729 them, to cast3034 out the horns7161 of the Gentiles,1471 which lifted5375 up their horn7161 over413 the land776 of Judah3063 to scatter2219 it.

撒迦利亞書

第1章

1 大流士王第二年八月,耶和華的話臨到易多的孫子、比利家的兒子先知撒迦利亞,說:

2 「耶和華曾甚不喜悅你們列祖[sore displeased with your fathers]

3 所以你要對以色列人說,大軍之耶和華如此說:大軍之耶和華說[saith the LORD of hosts],你們要轉向我,我就轉向你們,這是大軍之耶和華說的。

4 不要效法你們列祖,從前的先知[have]呼叫他們說:『大軍之耶和華如此說:你們要[Turn][from]你們的惡道惡行;』他們卻不聽,也不順從我,這是耶和華說的。

5 你們的列祖在哪裏呢?那些先知能永遠存活嗎?

6 只是我的言語和律例,就是所吩咐我僕人眾先知的,豈不抓住[take hold of]你們列祖嗎?他們就回頭,說:『大軍之耶和華定意按我們的行動作為向我們怎樣行,他已照樣行了。』」

7 大流士第二年十一月,就是細罷特月二十四日,耶和華的話臨到易多的孫子、比利家的兒子先知撒迦利亞,說:

8 「我夜間觀看,見一人騎著紅馬,站在窪地番石榴樹中間。在他身後又有紅馬、 [speckled]馬,和白馬。」

9[Then]說:「[my]主啊,這些[these]是甚麼意思?」那與我說話的天使對我說[the angel that talked with me said unto me]:「我要指示你這些[these]是甚麼意思。」

10 那站在番石榴樹中間的人回答[answered]說:「這些[These]是奉耶和華差遣在遍地走來走去的。」

11 那些騎馬的對站在番石榴樹中間耶和華的天使[angel]說:「我們已在遍地走來走去,見全地都安息平靜。」

12 於是,耶和華的天使[angel]說:「大軍之耶和華啊,你惱恨耶路撒冷和猶大的城邑已經七十年,你不施憐憫要到幾時呢?」

13 耶和華就用美善話並安慰話[good words and comfortable words]回答那與我說話的天使。

14 與我談論[communed]的天使對我說:「你要宣告說,大軍之耶和華如此說:我為耶路撒冷為錫安,心裏極其火熱。

15極其不悅[very sore displeased]那安逸的異教之民[heathen];因我從前稍稍不悅[little displeased]我民,他們就加害過分。

16 所以耶和華如此說:我已經回到[returned]耶路撒冷,仍施憐憫;我的殿必重建在其中,準繩必拉在耶路撒冷之上,這是大軍之耶和華說的。

17 你要[yet]宣告說,大軍之耶和華如此說:我的城邑必[yet]豐盛開廣[spread abroad];耶和華必[yet]安慰錫安,揀選耶路撒冷。」

18 於是[Then],我舉目觀看,見有四角。

19 我就問與我說話的天使說:「這些[these]是甚麼意思?」他回答說:「這些[These]是打散猶大、以色列,和耶路撒冷的角。」

20 耶和華又指四個木匠[carpenters]給我看。

21 我說:「他們來作甚麼呢?」他說:「這些[These]將猶大打散了[have scattered Judah]的角,使人不敢抬頭;但這些[these are][to]來威嚇他們[them][to][out]外邦人[Gentiles]的角,就是舉起打散猶大地的角。」

1 大流士王第二年八月,耶和華的話臨到易多的孫子、比利家的兒子先知撒迦利亞,說:

2 The LORD3068 has been sore displeased7107 with your fathers.1

2 「耶和華曾甚不喜悅你們列祖[sore displeased with your fathers]

3 Therefore say559 you to them, Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Turn7725 you to me, said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and I will turn7725 to you, said559 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

3 所以你要對以色列人說,大軍之耶和華如此說:大軍之耶和華說[saith the LORD of hosts],你們要轉向我,我就轉向你們,這是大軍之耶和華說的。

4 Be you not as your fathers,1 to whom834 413 the former7223 prophets5030 have cried,7121 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Turn7725 you now4994 from your evil7451 ways,1870 and from your evil7451 doings:4611 but they did not hear,8085 nor3808 listen7181 to me, said5002 the LORD.3068

4 不要效法你們列祖,從前的先知[have]呼叫他們說:『大軍之耶和華如此說:你們要[Turn][from]你們的惡道惡行;』他們卻不聽,也不順從我,這是耶和華說的。

5 Your fathers,1 where346 are they? and the prophets,5030 do they live2421 for ever?5769

5 你們的列祖在哪裏呢?那些先知能永遠存活嗎?

6 But my words1697 and my statutes,2706 which834 I commanded6680 my servants5650 the prophets,5030 did they not take5381 hold5381 of your fathers?1 and they returned7725 and said,559 Like as the LORD3068 of hosts6635 thought2161 to do6213 to us, according to our ways,1870 and according to our doings,4611 so3651 has he dealt6213 with us.

6 只是我的言語和律例,就是所吩咐我僕人眾先知的,豈不抓住[take hold of]你們列祖嗎?他們就回頭,說:『大軍之耶和華定意按我們的行動作為向我們怎樣行,他已照樣行了。』」

7 On the four702 and twentieth6242 day3117 of the eleventh6249 6240 month,2320 which1931 is the month2320 Sebat,7627 in the second8147 year8141 of Darius,1867 came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 to Zechariah,2148 the son1121 of Berechiah,1296 the son1121 of Iddo5714 the prophet,5030 saying,559

7 大流士第二年十一月,就是細罷特月二十四日,耶和華的話臨到易多的孫子、比利家的兒子先知撒迦利亞,說:

8 I saw7200 by night,3915 and behold2009 a man376 riding7392 on a red122 horse,5483 and he stood5975 among996 the myrtle1918 trees that were in the bottom;4699 and behind310 him were there red122 horses,5483 speckled,8320 and white.3836

8 「我夜間觀看,見一人騎著紅馬,站在窪地番石榴樹中間。在他身後又有紅馬、 [speckled]馬,和白馬。」

9 Then said559 I, O my lord,113 what4100 are these?428 And the angel4397 that talked1696 with me said559 to me, I will show7200 you what4100 these428 be.

9[Then]說:「[my]主啊,這些[these]是甚麼意思?」那與我說話的天使對我說[the angel that talked with me said unto me]:「我要指示你這些[these]是甚麼意思。」

10 And the man376 that stood5975 among996 the myrtle1918 trees answered6030 and said,559 These428 are they whom834 the LORD3068 has sent7971 to walk1980 to and fro through the earth.776

10 那站在番石榴樹中間的人回答[answered]說:「這些[These]是奉耶和華差遣在遍地走來走去的。」

11 And they answered6030 the angel4397 of the LORD3068 that stood5975 among996 the myrtle1918 trees, and said,559 We have walked1980 to and fro through the earth,776 and, behold,2009 all3605 the earth776 sits3427 still, and is at rest.8252

11 那些騎馬的對站在番石榴樹中間耶和華的天使[angel]說:「我們已在遍地走來走去,見全地都安息平靜。」

12 Then the angel4397 of the LORD3068 answered6030 and said,559 O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 how5704 long5704 will you not have mercy7355 on Jerusalem3389 and on the cities5892 of Judah,3063 against which834 you have had indignation2194 these2088 three score7657 and ten years?8141

12 於是,耶和華的天使[angel]說:「大軍之耶和華啊,你惱恨耶路撒冷和猶大的城邑已經七十年,你不施憐憫要到幾時呢?」

13 And the LORD3068 answered6030 the angel4397 that talked1696 with me with good2896 words1697 and comfortable5150 words.1697

13 耶和華就用美善話並安慰話[good words and comfortable words]回答那與我說話的天使。

14 So the angel4397 that communed1696 with me said559 to me, Cry7121 you, saying,559 Thus3541 said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 I am jealous7065 for Jerusalem3389 and for Zion6726 with a great1419 jealousy.7068

14 與我談論[communed]的天使對我說:「你要宣告說,大軍之耶和華如此說:我為耶路撒冷為錫安,心裏極其火熱。

15 And I am very sore displeased7107 with the heathen1471 that are at ease:7600 for I was but a little4592 displeased,7107 and they helped5826 forward the affliction.7451

15極其不悅[very sore displeased]那安逸的異教之民[heathen];因我從前稍稍不悅[little displeased]我民,他們就加害過分。

16 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 I am returned7725 to Jerusalem3389 with mercies:7356 my house1004 shall be built1129 in it, said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and a line6957 shall be stretched5186 forth on Jerusalem.3389

16 所以耶和華如此說:我已經回到[returned]耶路撒冷,仍施憐憫;我的殿必重建在其中,準繩必拉在耶路撒冷之上,這是大軍之耶和華說的。

17 Cry7121 yet,5750 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 My cities5892 through prosperity2896 shall yet5750 be spread6327 abroad;6527 and the LORD3068 shall yet5750 comfort5162 Zion,6726 and shall yet5750 choose977 Jerusalem.3389

17 你要[yet]宣告說,大軍之耶和華如此說:我的城邑必[yet]豐盛開廣[spread abroad];耶和華必[yet]安慰錫安,揀選耶路撒冷。」

18 Then lifted5375 I up my eyes,5869 and saw,7200 and behold2009 four702 horns.7161

18 於是[Then],我舉目觀看,見有四角。

19 And I said559 to the angel4397 that talked1696 with me, What4100 be these?428 And he answered559 me, These428 are the horns7161 which834 have scattered2219 Judah,3063 Israel,3478 and Jerusalem.3389

19 我就問與我說話的天使說:「這些[these]是甚麼意思?」他回答說:「這些[These]是打散猶大、以色列,和耶路撒冷的角。」

20 And the LORD3068 showed7200 me four702 carpenters.2796

20 耶和華又指四個木匠[carpenters]給我看。

21 Then said559 I, What4100 come935 these428 to do?6213 And he spoke,559 saying,559 These428 are the horns7161 which834 have scattered2219 Judah,3063 so that no3808 man376 did lift5375 up his head:7218 but these428 are come935 to fray2729 them, to cast3034 out the horns7161 of the Gentiles,1471 which lifted5375 up their horn7161 over413 the land776 of Judah3063 to scatter2219 it.

21 我說:「他們來作甚麼呢?」他說:「這些[These]將猶大打散了[have scattered Judah]的角,使人不敢抬頭;但這些[these are][to]來威嚇他們[them][to][out]外邦人[Gentiles]的角,就是舉起打散猶大地的角。」
