Zacharias 1

1 In the eighth month, in the second year of [the reign of] Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the prophet, saying,

ダリヨスの二年八月のヱホバの言イドの子ベレキヤの子なる預言者ゼカリヤに臨めり云く

2 The Lord has been very angry with your fathers.

ヱホバいたく汝らの父等を怒りたまへり

3 And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord Almighty: Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.

萬軍のヱホバかく言ふと汝かれらに告よ萬軍のヱホバ言ふ汝ら我に歸れ萬軍のヱホバいふ我も汝らに歸らん

4 And be you not as your fathers, whom the prophets before charged, saying, Thus says the Lord Almighty: Turn you from your evil ways, and from your evil practices: but they listened not, and attended not to listen to me, says the Lord.

汝らの父等のごとくならざれ前の預言者等かれらに向ひて呼はりて言り萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ請ふ汝らその惡き道を離れその惡き行を棄てて歸れと然るに彼等は聽ず耳を我に傾けざりきヱホバこれを言ふ

5 Where are your fathers, and the prophets? Will they live for ever?

汝らの父等は何處にありや預言者たち永遠に生んや

6 But do you receive my words and mine ordinances, all that I command by my Spirit to my servants the prophets, who lived in the days of your fathers; and they answered and said, As the Lord Almighty determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so has he done to us.

然ながら我僕なる預言者等に我が命じたる吾言とわが法度とは汝らの父等に追及たるに非ずや然ゆゑに彼らかへりて言り萬軍のヱホバ我らの道に循ひ我らの行に循ひて我らに爲んと思ひたまひし事を我らに爲たまへりと

7 On the twenty-fourth [day] in the eleventh month, this is the month Sabat, in the second year of [the reign of] Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the prophet, saying,

ダリヨスの二年十一月すなはちセバテといふ月の二十四日にヱホバの言イドの子ベレキヤの子なる預言者ゼカリヤに臨めり云く

8 I saw by night, and behold a man mounted on a red horse, and he stood between the shady mountains; and behind him were red horses, and grey, and piebald, and white.

我夜觀しに一箇の人赤馬に乗て谷の裏なる鳥拈樹の中に立ちその後に赤馬 駁馬 白馬をる

9 And I said, What are these, [my] lord? And the angel spoke with me said to me, I will show you what these [things] are.

我わが主よ是等は何ぞやと問ひけるに我と語ふ天の使われにむかひて是等の何なるをわれ汝に示さんと言り

10 And the man that stood between the mountains answered, and said to me, These are [they] whom the Lord has sent forth to go round the earth.

鳥拈樹の中に立る人答へて言けるは是等は地上を遍く歩かしめんとてヱホバの遣したまひし者なりと

11 And they answered the angel of the Lord that stood between the mountains, and said, We have gone round all the earth, and, behold, all the earth is inhabited, and is at rest.

彼ら答へて鳥拈樹の中に立るヱホバの使に言けるは我ら地上を行めぐり觀しに全地は穏にして安し

12 Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord Almighty, how long will you have no mercy on Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, which you has disregarded these seventy years?

ヱホバの使こたへて言ふ萬軍のヱホバよ汝いつまでヱルサレムとユダの邑々を恤みたまはざるか汝はこれを怒りたまひてすでに七十年になりぬと

13 And the Lord Almighty answered the angel that spoke with me good words and consolatory sayings.

ヱホバ我と語ふ天の使に嘉事慰事をもて答へたまへり

14 And the angel that spoke with me said to me, Cry out and say, Thus says the Lord Almighty; I have been jealous for Jerusalem and Sion with great jealousy.

かくて我と語ふ天の使我に言けるは汝呼はりて言へ萬軍のヱホバかく言はまふ我ヱルサレムのためシオンのために甚だしく心を熱して嫉妬おもひ

15 And I am very angry with the heathen that combine to attack [her]: forasmuch as I indeed was a little angry, but they combined to attack [her] for evil.

安居せる國々の民を太く怒る其は我すこしく怒りしに彼ら力を出して之に害を加へたればなり

16 Therefore thus says the Lord: I will return to Jerusalem with compassion; and my house shall be rebuilt in her, says the Lord Almighty, and a measuring line shall yet be stretched out over Jerusalem.

ヱホバかく言ふ是故に我憐憫をもてヱルサレムに歸る萬軍のヱホバのたまふ我室その中に建てられ量繩ヱルサレムに張られん

17 And the angel that spoke with me said to me, Cry yet, and say, Thus says the Lord Almighty; Yet shall cities be spread abroad through prosperity; and the Lord shall yet have mercy upon Sion, and shall choose Jerusalem.

汝また呼はりて言へ萬軍のヱホバかく宣ふ我邑々には再び嘉物あふれんヱホバふたたびシオンを慰め再びヱルサレムを簡びたまふべしと

18 And I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold four horns.

かくて我目を擧て觀しに四の角ありければ

19 And I said to the angel that spoke with me, What are these things, [my] lord? And he said to me, These are the horns that have scattered Juda, and Israel, and Jerusalem.

我に語ふ天の使に是等は何なるやと問しに彼われに答へけるは是等はユダ、イスラエルおよびヱルサレムを散したる角なりと

20 And the Lord showed me four artificers.

時にヱホバ四箇の鍛冶を我に見し給へり

21 And I said, What are these coming to do? And he said, These are the horns that scattered Juda, and they broke Israel in pieces, and none of them lifted up his head: and these are come forth to sharpen them for their hands, [even] the four horns, the nations that lifted up the horn against the land of the Lord to scatter it.

我是等は何を爲んとて來れるや問しに斯こたへ給へり是等の角はユダを散して人にその頭を擧しめざりし者なるが今この四箇の者來りて之を威しかのユダの地にむかひて角を擧て之を散せし諸國の角を擲たんとす
