撒迦利亚书 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶路撒冷必蒙拯救
12 以下是耶和华关于以色列的启示。
铺展穹苍、奠立大地的根基、塑造人灵魂的耶和华说: 2 “看啊,我要使耶路撒冷成为令周围万民昏醉的酒杯。耶路撒冷被围困时,犹大也必受困。 3 到那天,当地上的列国聚集起来攻击耶路撒冷的时候,我要使耶路撒冷成为一块沉重的石头。凡试图举起它的,必伤自己。 4 到那天,我要使所有的战马惊恐,使马上的骑士癫狂。我必看顾犹大家,使列邦的马匹瞎眼。这是耶和华说的。 5 那时,犹大的族长必心里说,‘耶路撒冷的居民从他们的上帝——万军之耶和华那里得到了力量。’
6 “到那天,我必使犹大的族长像木柴中的火盆,像禾捆中的火把,吞噬左右四围的列邦,但耶路撒冷人必仍在原处——耶路撒冷安居。
7 “耶和华必首先拯救犹大的帐篷,免得大卫家和耶路撒冷居民的荣耀超过犹大。 8 到那天,耶和华必保护耶路撒冷的居民,使他们当中最软弱的像大卫一样刚强,使大卫家像上帝一样,像耶和华的天使一样带领他们。 9 到那天,我必毁灭前来攻击耶路撒冷的列国。
10 “我必将施恩和祷告的灵浇灌在大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民身上。他们必仰望我——他们所刺的那位,如丧独子一般为祂哀伤,如丧长子一般为祂痛哭。 11 到那天,耶路撒冷必一片哀声,犹如米吉多平原的哈达临门的哀声。 12 境内家家户户都必哀哭。大卫家的男子在一处,女子在一处;拿单家的男子在一处,女子在一处; 13 利未家的男子在一处,女子在一处;示每家的男子在一处,女子在一处。 14 其余各家也都哀哭,男女分开。
Zechariah 12
New International Reader's Version
The Lord Will Destroy Jerusalem’s Enemies
12 This is a prophecy. It is the Lord’s message about Israel.
The Lord spreads out the heavens. He lays the foundation of the earth. He creates the human spirit within a person. He says, 2 “Jerusalem will be like a cup in my hand. It will make all the surrounding nations drunk from the wine of my anger. Judah will be attacked by its enemies. So will Jerusalem. 3 At that time all the nations on earth will gather together against Jerusalem. Then it will become like a rock that can’t be moved. All the nations that try to move it will only hurt themselves. 4 On that day I will fill every horse with panic. I will make every rider crazy,” announces the Lord. “I will watch over the people of Judah. But I will make all the horses of the nations blind. 5 Then the family groups of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong. That’s because the Lord who rules over all is their God.’
6 “At that time Judah’s family groups will be like a fire pot in a pile of wood. They will be like a burning torch among bundles of grain. They will destroy all the surrounding nations on every side. But Jerusalem will remain unharmed in its place.
7 “I will save the houses in Judah first. The honor of David’s family line is great. So is the honor of those who live in Jerusalem. But their honor will not be greater than the honor of the rest of Judah. 8 At that time I will be like a shield to those who live in Jerusalem. Then even the weakest among them will be great warriors like David. And David’s family line will be like the angel of the Lord who leads them. 9 On that day I will begin to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
Israel’s People Will Mourn Over the One They Pierced
10 “I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on David’s family line. I will also send it on those who live in Jerusalem. They will look to me. I am the one they have pierced. They will mourn over me as someone mourns over an only child who has died. They will be full of sorrow over me. Their sorrow will be just like someone’s sorrow over an oldest son. 11 At that time there will be a lot of weeping in Jerusalem. It will be as great as the weeping of the people at Hadad Rimmon. Hadad Rimmon is in the valley of Megiddo. They were weeping over Josiah’s death. 12 Everyone in the land will mourn. Each family will mourn by themselves and their wives by themselves. That will include the family lines of David, Nathan, 13 Levi, Shimei and 14 all the others.
