ゼカリヤ書 8
1 萬軍のヱホバの言われに臨めり曰く
Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
2 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ我シオンのために甚だしく心を熱して妬く思ひ大なる忿怒を起して之がために妬く思ふ
Thus says the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3 ヱホバかく言たまふ今我シオンに歸れり我ヱルサレムの中に住んヱルサレムは誠實ある邑と稱へられ萬軍のヱホバの山は聖山と稱へらるべし
Thus says the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
4 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふヱルサレムの街衢には再び老たる男老たる女坐せん皆年高くして各々杖を手に持べし
Thus says the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
5 またその邑の街衢には男の兒女の兒滿て街衢に遊び戯れん
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふこの事その日には此民の遺餘者の目に奇といふとも我目に何の奇きこと有んや萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
Thus says the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? says the LORD of hosts.
7 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ視よ我わが民を日の出る國より日の入る國より救ひ出し
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8 かれらを携へ來りてヱルサレムの中に住しめん彼らは我民となり我は彼らの神となりて共に誠實と正義に居ん
And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
9 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ汝ら萬軍のヱホバの室なる殿を建んとて其基礎を置たる日に起りし預言者等の口の言詞を今日聞く者よ汝らの腕を強くせよ
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, all of you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
10 此日の先には人も工の價を得ず獸畜も工の價を得ず出者も入者も仇の故をもて安然ならざりき即ち我人々をして互に相攻しめたり
For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
11 然れども今は我此民の遺餘者に對すること曩の日の如くならずと萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ
But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, says the LORD of hosts.
12 即ち平安の種子あるべし葡萄の樹は果を結び地は產物を出し天は露を與へん我この民の遺餘者にこれを盡く獲さすべし
For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
13 ユダの家およびイスラエルの家よ汝らが國々の中に呪詛となりしごとく此度は我なんぢらを救ふて祝言とならしめん懼るる勿れ汝らの腕を強くせよ
And it shall come to pass, that as all of you were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and all of you shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
14 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ在昔汝らの先祖我を怒らせし時に我これに災禍を降さんと思ひて之を悔ざりき萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
For thus says the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, says the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:
15 是のごとく我また今日ヱルサレムとユダの家に福祉を降さんと思ふ汝ら懼るる勿れ
So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear all of you not.
16 汝らの爲べき事は是なり汝ら各々たがひに眞實を言べし又汝等の門にて審判する時は眞實を執て平和の審判を爲べし
These are the things that all of you shall do; Speak all of you every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
17 汝等すべて人の災害を心に圖る勿れ僞の誓を好む勿れ是等はみな我が惡む者なりとヱホバ言たまふ
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, says the LORD.
18 萬軍のヱホバの言われに臨めり云く
And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
19 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ四月の斷食五月の斷食七月の斷食十月の斷食かへつてユダの家の宴樂となり欣喜となり佳節となるべし惟なんぢら眞實と平和を愛すべし
Thus says the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
20 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ國々の民および衆多の邑の居民來り就ん
Thus says the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
21 即ちこの邑の居民往てかの邑の者に向ひ我儕すみやかに往てヱホバを和め萬軍のヱホバを求めんと言んに我も往べしと答へん
And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
22 衆多の民強き國民ヱルサレムに來りて萬軍のヱホバを求めヱホバを和めん
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
23 萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ其日には諸の國語の民十人にてユダヤ人一箇の裾を拉へん即ち之を拉へて言ん我ら汝らと與に往べし其は我ら神の汝らと偕にいますを聞たればなり
Thus says the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
