< ゼカリヤ書 12 >

1 イスラエルにかかはるヱホバの言詞の重負 ヱホバ即ち天を舒べ地の基を置ゑ人のうちの靈魂を造る者言たまふ
This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning Israel—a declaration of Yahweh, who stretched out the skies and laid the foundation of the earth, who fashions the spirit of mankind within man,
2 視よ我ヱルサレムをしてその周圍の國民を蹌踉はする杯とならしむべしヱルサレムの攻圍まるる時是はユダにも及ばん
“See, I am about to make Jerusalem into a cup causing all the peoples surrounding her to stagger about. It will also be like that for Judah during the siege against Jerusalem.
3 其日には我ヱルサレムをして諸の國民に對ひて重石とならしむべし之を持擧る者は大傷を受ん地上の諸國みな集りて之に攻寄べし
On that day, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. Anyone trying to lift that stone will hurt himself very much, and all the nations of the earth will gather against that city.
4 ヱホバ言たまふ當日には我一切の馬を撃て駭かせその騎手を撃て狂はせん而して我ユダの家の上に我目を開き諸の國民の馬を撃て盲になすべし
On that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will strike every horse with confusion and its rider with madness. Over the house of Judah I will open my eyes, but every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness.
5 ユダの牧伯等その心の中に謂んヱルサレムの居民はその神萬軍のヱホバに由て我力となるべしと
Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are our strength because of Yahweh of hosts, their God.'
6 當日には我ユダの牧伯等をして薪の下にある火盤のごとく麥束の下にある炬火のごとくならしむべし彼等は右左にむかひその周圍の國民を盡く焚んヱルサレム人はなほヱルサレムにてその本の處に居ことを得べし
On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like firepots among wood and like a flaming torch among standing grain, for they will consume all the surrounding peoples on their right and on their left. Jerusalem will again live in her own place.”
7 ヱホバまづユダの幕屋を救ひたまはん是ダビデの家の榮およびヱルサレムの居民の榮のユダに勝ること無らんためたり
Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and the honor of those who live in Jerusalem may not be greater than the rest of Judah.
8 當日ヱホバ、ヱルサレムの居民を護りたまはん彼らの中の弱き者もその日にはダビデのごとくなるべしまたダビデの家は神のごとく彼らに先だつヱホバの使のごとくなるべし
On that day Yahweh will be the defender of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on that day those who are weak among them will be like David, while the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh in front of them.
9 その日には我ヱルサレムに攻きたる國民をことごとく滅すことを務むべし
“On that day that I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 我ダビデの家およびヱルサレムの居民に恩惠と祈禱の靈をそそがん彼等はその刺たりし我を仰ぎ觀獨子のため哭くがごとく之がために哭き長子のために悲しむがごとく之がために痛く悲しまん
But I will pour out a spirit of compassion and pleading on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so they will look on me, the one they have pierced. They will mourn for me, as one mourns for an only son; they will bitterly lament for him like those who lament the death of a firstborn son.
11 その日にはヱルサレムに大なる哀哭あらん是はメギドンの谷なるハダデリンモンに在し哀哭のごとくなるべし
On that day the laments in Jerusalem will be like the laments at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
12 國中の族おのおの別れ居て哀哭べし即ちダビデの族別れ居て哀哭きその妻等別れ居て哀哭きナタンの家の族別れ居て哀哭きその妻等別れ居て哀哭かん
The land will mourn, each clan separate from other clans. The clan of the house of David will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the house of Nathan will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.
13 レビの家の族別れ居て哀哭きその妻等別れ居て哀哭きシメイの族別れ居て哀哭きその妻等わかれ居て哀哭かん
The clan of the house of Levi will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the Shimeites will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.
14 その他の族も凡て然りすなはち族おのおの別れ居て哀哭きその妻等別れ居て哀哭くべし
Every clan of the remaining clans—each clan will be separate and the wives will be separate from the men.”
