撒迦利亚书 8
1 万军之耶和华的话临到我说：
And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,
2 “万军之耶和华如此说：我为锡安心里极其火热，我为她火热，向她的仇敌发烈怒。
These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am angry about the fate of Zion, I am angry about her with great wrath.
3 耶和华如此说：我现在回到锡安，要住在耶路撒冷中。耶路撒冷必称为诚实的城，万军之耶和华的山必称为圣山。
This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.
4 万军之耶和华如此说：将来必有年老的男女坐在耶路撒冷街上，因为年纪老迈就手拿拐杖。
This is what the Lord of armies has said: There will again be old men and old women seated in the open spaces of Jerusalem, every man with his stick in his hand because he is so old.
5 城中街上必满有男孩女孩玩耍。
And the open spaces of the town will be full of boys and girls playing in its open spaces.
6 万军之耶和华如此说：到那日，这事在余剩的民眼中看为希奇，在我眼中也看为希奇吗？这是万军之耶和华说的。
This is what the Lord of armies has said: If this is a wonder to the rest of this people, is it a wonder to me? says the Lord of armies.
7 万军之耶和华如此说：我要从东方从西方救回我的民。
This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will be the saviour of my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8 我要领他们来，使他们住在耶路撒冷中。他们要作我的子民，我要作他们的 神，都凭诚实和公义。”
And I will make them come and be living in Jerusalem and they will be to me a people and I will be to them a God, in good faith and in righteousness.
9 万军之耶和华如此说：“当建造万军之耶和华的殿，立根基之日的先知所说的话，现在你们听见，应当手里强壮。
This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your hands be strong, you who are now hearing these words from the mouths of the prophets, that is to say, in the days when the base of the house of the Lord of armies has been put in place for the building of the house, that is the Temple.
10 那日以先，人得不着雇价，牲畜也是如此；且因敌人的缘故，出入之人不得平安，乃因我使众人互相攻击。
For before those days there was no payment for a man's work, or for the use of a beast, and there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because of the attacker: for I had every man turned against his neighbour.
11 但如今，我待这余剩的民必不像从前。这是万军之耶和华说的。
But now I will not be to the rest of this people as I was in the past, says the Lord of armies.
12 因为他们必平安撒种，葡萄树必结果子，地土必有出产，天也必降甘露。我要使这余剩的民享受这一切的福。
For I will let the seed of peace be planted; the vine will give her fruit and the land will give her increase and the heavens will give their dew; and I will give to the rest of this people all these things for their heritage.
13 犹大家和以色列家啊，你们从前在列国中怎样成为可咒诅的；照样，我要拯救你们，使人称你们为有福的。你们不要惧怕，手要强壮。”
And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.
14 万军之耶和华如此说：“你们列祖惹我发怒的时候，我怎样定意降祸，并不后悔。
For this is what the Lord of armies has said: As it was my purpose to do evil to you when your fathers made me angry, says the Lord of armies, and my purpose was not changed:
15 现在我照样定意施恩与耶路撒冷和犹大家，你们不要惧怕。
So in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.
16 你们所当行的是这样：各人与邻舍说话诚实，在城门口按至理判断，使人和睦。
These are the things which you are to do: Let every man say what is true to his neighbour; and let your judging give peace in your towns.
17 谁都不可心里谋害邻舍，也不可喜爱起假誓，因为这些事都为我所恨恶。这是耶和华说的。”
Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.
18 万军之耶和华的话临到我说：
And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,
19 “万军之耶和华如此说：四月、五月禁食的日子，七月、十月禁食的日子，必变为犹大家欢喜快乐的日子和欢乐的节期；所以你们要喜爱诚实与和平。”
This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of peace.
20 万军之耶和华如此说：“将来必有列国的人和多城的居民来到。
This is what the Lord of armies has said: It will again come about that when peoples and those living in great towns come,
21 这城的居民必到那城，说：‘我们要快去恳求耶和华的恩，寻求万军之耶和华；我也要去。’
And the people of one town go to another and say, Let us certainly go with a request for grace from the Lord, and to give worship to the Lord of armies, then I will go with you.
22 必有列邦的人和强国的民来到耶路撒冷寻求万军之耶和华，恳求耶和华的恩。
And great peoples and strong nations will come to give worship to the Lord of armies in Jerusalem and to make requests for grace from the Lord.
23 万军之耶和华如此说：在那些日子，必有十个人从列国诸族中出来，拉住一个犹大人的衣襟，说：‘我们要与你们同去，因为我们听见 神与你们同在了。’”
This is what the Lord of armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears that God is with you.
