ゼカリヤ書 9
1 ヱホバの言詞の重負ハデラクの地に臨むダマスコはその止る所なりヱホバ世の人を眷みイスラエルの一切の支派を眷みたまへばなり
The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach and its respite in Damascus. For the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is of the Lord.
2 之に界するハマテも然りツロ、シドンも亦はなはだ怜悧ければ同じく然るべし
Hamath also is at its limits, and Tyre and Sidon. For, of course, they have assumed themselves to be exceedingly wise.
3 ツロは自己のために城郭を構へ銀を塵のごとくに積み金を街衢の土のごとくに積めり
And Tyre has built herself a fortress, and she has piled together silver, as if it were soil, and gold, as if it were the mud of the streets.
4 視よ主これを攻取り海にて之が力を打ほろぼしたまふべし是は火にて焚うせん
Behold, the Lord will possess her, and he will strike her strength in the sea, and she will be devoured by fire.
5 アシケロンこれを見て懼れガザもこれを見て太く慄ふエクロンもその望む所の者辱しめらるるに因て亦然りガザには王絶えアシケロンには住者なきに至らん
Ashkelon will see and be afraid. Both Gaza and he will be very sorrowful, as well as Ekron, because her hope has been confounded. And the king will pass away from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6 アシドドにはまた雑種の民すまん我ペリシテ人が誇る所の者を絶べし
And the divider will sit in Ashdod, and I will scatter the arrogance of the Philistines.
7 我これが口より血を取除き之が齒の間より憎むべき物を取除かん是も遺りて我儕の神に歸しユダの牧伯のごとくに成べしまたエクロンはヱブス人のごとくになるべし
And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth, and yet he will be left for our God, and he will be like a governor in Judah, and Ekron will be like a Jebusite.
8 我わが家のために陣を張て敵軍に當り之をして往來すること無らしめん虐遇者かさねて逼ること無るべし我いま我目をもて親ら見ればなり
And I will encircle my house with those who serve me in war, going and returning, and the exactor will no longer pass over them. For now I have seen with my eyes.
9 シオンの女よ大に喜べヱルサレムの女よ呼はれ視よ汝の王汝に來る彼は正義して拯救を賜り柔和にして驢馬に乗る即ち牝驢馬の子なる駒に乗るなり
Rejoice well, daughter of Zion, shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your King will come to you: the Just One, the Savior. He is poor and riding upon a donkey, and upon a colt, the son of a donkey.
10 我エフライムより車を絶ちヱルサレムより馬を絶ん戰爭弓も絶るべし彼國々の民に平和を諭さん其政治は海より海に及び河より地の極におよぶべし
And I will scatter the four-horse chariot out of Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be destroyed. And he will speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power will be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth.
11 汝についてはまた汝の契約の血のために我かの水なき坑より汝の被俘人を放ち出さん
You, likewise, by the blood of your testimony, have sent forth your prisoners from the pit, in which there is no water.
12 望を懷く被俘人よ汝等城に歸れ我今日もなほ告て言ふ我かならず倍して汝等に賚ふべし
Turn back to the fortress, prisoners of hope. Today, I also announce that I will repay you double,
13 我ユダを張て弓となしエフライムを矢となして之につがへんシオンよ我汝の人々を振起してギリシヤの人々を攻しめ汝をして大丈夫の劍のごとくならしむべし
because I have stretched out Judah for myself, like a bow; I have filled Ephraim. And I will raise up your sons, Zion, above your sons, Greece. And I will set you as the sword of the strength.
14 ヱホバこれが上に顯れてその箭を電光のごとくに射いだしたまはん主ヱホバ喇叭を吹ならし南の暴風に乗て出來まさん
And the Lord God will be seen over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning. And the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and he will go forth into the whirlwind of the South.
15 萬軍のヱホバ彼らを護りたまはん彼等は食ふことを爲し投石器の石を踏つけん彼等は飮ことを爲し酒に醉るごとくに聲を擧ん其これに盈さるることは血を盛る鉢のごとく祭壇の隅のごとくなるべし
The Lord of hosts will protect them. And they will devour and subdue with the stones of the sling. And, when drinking, they will become inebriated, as if with wine, and they will be filled like bowls and like the horns of the altar.
16 彼らの神ヱホバ當日に彼らを救ひその民を羊のごとくに救ひたまはん彼等は冠冕の玉のごとくになりて其地に輝くべし
And in that day, the Lord their God will save them as the flock of his people. For holy stones will be lifted up over his land.
17 その福祉は如何計ぞや其美麗は如何計ぞや穀物は童男を長ぜしめ新酒は童女を長ぜしむ
For what is his goodness and what is his beauty, other than grain among the elect and wine springing forth virgins?
