撒迦利亚书 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
对耶路撒冷的应许
8 万军之耶和华的话传给了我，说： 2 “万军之耶和华说，‘我对锡安充满了火热的爱，我为锡安而大发烈怒。 3 我要回到锡安，住在耶路撒冷。耶路撒冷必被称为忠信之城，我的山必被称为圣山。这是万军之耶和华说的。 4 必再次有年纪老迈、手拿拐杖的男女坐在耶路撒冷的街上。这是万军之耶和华说的。 5 街上必到处都是玩耍的男女孩童。’ 6 万军之耶和华说，‘那时，这事在这些余民看来是不可能的，但在我看来毫不稀奇。这是万军之耶和华说的。’ 7 万军之耶和华说，‘看啊，我要从东方和西方救出我的子民， 8 带他们回到耶路撒冷居住。他们要做我的子民，我要做他们信实和公义的上帝。’
9 “万军之耶和华说，‘在奠立万军之耶和华殿的根基那天，众先知都在场。现今听见这些先知之言的人啊，你们要刚强，以便可以建造圣殿！ 10 那日之前，人和牲畜都得不到工钱。在敌人的威胁下，人们出入没有平安。因为我使众人彼此为敌。 11 如今我不会像从前那样对待这些余民了。这是万军之耶和华说的。 12 因为他们必平安地撒种，葡萄树必结果子，土地必出产五谷，天必降下甘霖，我要把这些福气赐给这些余民。 13 犹大家和以色列家啊，从前你们在列国中是受咒诅的，现在我要拯救你们，使你们成为蒙福的人。你们不要惧怕，要刚强。’
14 “万军之耶和华说，‘从前你们的祖先惹我发怒，我决定毫不留情地降祸给他们。这是万军之耶和华说的。 15 现在我决定赐福给耶路撒冷和犹大家。你们不要惧怕。 16 你们所当做的是彼此说真话，在城门口秉公断案，使人和睦。 17 不可设阴谋彼此相害，不可以起假誓为乐，因为这些都是我所憎恶的。这是耶和华说的。’”
18 万军之耶和华的话传给了我，说： 19 “万军之耶和华说，‘四月、五月、七月、十月的禁食必成为犹大家欢喜快乐的日子和幸福的节期。因此，你们要喜爱真理与和平。 20 各族的人和各城的居民都必来这里。这是万军之耶和华说的。 21 这一城的居民必到那一城，说，我们快去向耶和华求恩，去寻求万军之耶和华吧！我自己也去。 22 各民族和各强国必来耶路撒冷寻求万军之耶和华，向耶和华求恩。 23 那时，十个来自列国、讲不同语言的人必拉住一个犹大人的衣角，说，让我们跟你们同去吧，因为我们听说上帝与你们同在。这是万军之耶和华说的。’”

复兴以色列的应许
8 万军之耶和华的话临到我说： 2 “万军之耶和华这样说：‘我十分热爱锡安；我为锡安大发烈怒。’ 3 耶和华这样说：‘我要返回锡安，住在耶路撒冷里面；耶路撒冷必称为“信实之城”，万军之耶和华的山必称为“圣山”。’
4 “万军之耶和华这样说：‘年老的男女必再坐在耶路撒冷的街上；他们因为年纪老迈，各人都手拿拐杖。 5 城里的街上必满了男孩女孩，在街上嬉戏。’
6 “万军之耶和华这样说：‘在那些日子，这事在这余剩的子民眼中被视为不可能的奇迹，在我眼中也视为不可能吗？’这是万军之耶和华的宣告。
7 “万军之耶和华这样说：‘看哪！我必从日出之地和日落之地拯救我的子民。 8 我要把他们领回来，让他们住在耶路撒冷；他们要作我的子民，我也要凭着信实和公义作他们的 神。’
9 “万军之耶和华这样说：‘在万军之耶和华的殿奠立了根基，预备建造的日子，你们这些在当时听过众先知亲口宣告这些话的人，现在你们的手务要刚强。 10 因为在那些日子以前，人作工是没有工价的，牲畜也是这样，并且因有敌人的缘故，人出入就没有平安，我也使众人互相攻击。 11 但现在我待这些余剩的子民必不像从前的日子那样（这是万军之耶和华的宣告）。 12 因为五谷必生长繁茂，葡萄树必结果子，地土必出土产，天也必降下甘露，我要使这些余剩的子民承受这一切。 13 犹大家和以色列家啊！你们从前怎样在万国中成为可咒诅的，将来，我也要怎样拯救你们，使你们成为祝福。你们不要惧怕，你们的手务要刚强。’
14 “万军之耶和华这样说：‘你们的列祖惹我发怒的时候，我曾定意降祸在你们身上，并没有改变心意（这是万军之耶和华说的）； 15 照样，在这些日子里，我定意恩待耶路撒冷和犹大家。你们不要惧怕。 16 你们应当行这些事：你们各人要与邻舍说真话，在你们的城门口要凭着诚实施行带来和平的审判。 17 你们各人不要心里图谋恶事，彼此陷害，也不可好起假誓，因为这些都是我所恨恶的。’这是耶和华的宣告。”
哀哭变成欢乐
18 万军之耶和华的话临到我，说： 19 “万军之耶和华这样说：‘四月的禁食、五月的禁食、七月的禁食和十月的禁食都要变为犹大家欢喜快乐的日子和欢乐的节期。所以，你们要喜爱诚实与和平。’
万民寻求主恩
20 “万军之耶和华这样说：‘将来还有万族的人和多个城市的居民要来。 21 一城的居民到另一城去，对他们说：我们快去恳求耶和华施恩，求告万军之耶和华；我自己也去。 22 必有很多的民族和强大的国家前来，在耶路撒冷求告万军之耶和华，恳求他施恩。’
23 “万军之耶和华这样说：‘在那些日子，必有十个说不同方言，来自列国的人，紧抓住一个犹大人的衣襟，说：让我们与你们同去吧，因为我们听见 神与你们同在。’”
Zechariah 8
King James Version
8 Again the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3 Thus saith 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 Thus saith 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 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6 Thus saith 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? saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8 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 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye 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 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 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 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 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, and I repented not:
15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
17 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, saith the Lord.
18 And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto me, saying,
19 Thus saith 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 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
21 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 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
23 Thus saith 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.
Zechariah 8
Contemporary English Version
The Lord's Promises to Zion
8 The Lord All-Powerful said to me:
2 I love Zion so much that her enemies make me angry. 3 I will return to Jerusalem and live there on Mount Zion. Then Jerusalem will be known as my faithful city, and Zion will be known as my holy mountain.
4 Very old people with walking sticks will once again sit around in Jerusalem, 5 while boys and girls play in the streets. 6 This may seem impossible for my people who are left, but it isn't impossible for me, the Lord All-Powerful. 7 I will save those who were taken to lands in the east and the west, 8 and I will bring them to live in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, faithful to bring about justice.
9 I am the Lord All-Powerful! So don't give up. Think about the message my prophets spoke when the foundation of my temple was laid. 10 Before that time, neither people nor animals were rewarded for their work, and no one was safe anywhere, because I had turned them against each other.
11 My people, only a few of you are left, and I promise not to punish you as I did before. 12 Instead, I will make sure that your crops are planted in peace and your vineyards are fruitful, that your fields are fertile, and the dew falls from the sky. 13 People of Judah and Israel, you have been a curse to the nations, but I will save you and make you a blessing to them. So don't be afraid or lose courage.
14 When your ancestors made me angry, I decided to punish you with disasters, and I didn't hold back. 15 Now you no longer need to be afraid. I have decided to treat Jerusalem and Judah with kindness. 16 (A) But you must be truthful with each other, and in court you must give fair decisions that lead to peace. 17 Don't ever plan evil things against others or tell lies under oath. I, the Lord, hate such things.
A Time of Celebration
18 The Lord All-Powerful told me to say:
19 People of Judah, I, the Lord, demand that whenever you go without food as a way of worshiping me, it should become a time of celebration. No matter if it's the fourth month, the fifth month, the seventh month, or the tenth month, you should have a joyful festival. So love truth and live at peace.
20 I tell you that people will come here from cities everywhere. 21 Those of one town will go to another and say, “We're going to ask the Lord All-Powerful to treat us with kindness. Come and join us.”
22 Many people from strong nations will come to Jerusalem to worship me and to ask me to treat them with kindness. 23 When this happens, ten people from nations with different languages will grab a Jew by his clothes and say, “Let us go with you. We've heard that God is on your side.” I, the Lord All-Powerful, have spoken!
