撒迦利亚书 9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
审判哈得拉与大马士革
9 以下是耶和华的默示：
耶和华的话临到哈得拉地，落在大马士革（世人的眼睛和以色列各支派都仰望耶和华），
2 又临到大马士革边界的哈马，
还有推罗、西顿，尽管她们有极大的智慧。
3 推罗为自己建造了堡垒，
堆积银子，多如尘沙，
积聚精金，多如街上的泥土。
4 看哪！主必夺去她的一切，
摧毁她海上的势力，
她必被火吞灭。
5 亚实基伦看见了，就必害怕；
迦萨看见了也必非常痛苦；
以革伦因失去盼望而蒙羞。
迦萨的王必灭亡，
亚实基伦必不再有人居住。
6 混杂的种族（“混杂的种族”或译：“私生子”）必住在亚实突，
我必除掉非利士人的骄傲。
7 我必除去他们口中的血，
和他们牙齿间可憎之物。
余剩下来的人要归于我们的 神，
像犹大的一族；
以革伦人也必像耶布斯人一样。
8 我必在我的家四围安营，
不容敌军出入往来；
欺压人的不能再侵犯我的子民，
因我现在亲眼看顾他们。
要来的王
9 锡安的居民哪！要大大喜乐。
耶路撒冷的居民（“居民”原文作“女子”）哪！应当欢呼。
看哪！你的王来到你这里了，
他是公义的，是得胜的。
他又是温柔的，他骑着驴，
骑的是小驴。
10 我必从以法莲除掉战车，
从耶路撒冷除掉战马。
争战的弓必被除掉，
他要向列国宣讲和平。
他的统治权必从这海延伸到那海，
从幼发拉底河直到地极。
神应许复兴他的子民
11 锡安哪！至于你，因着我与你立约的血，我把你中间被囚禁的人从无水的坑里释放出来。
12 你们被囚仍有盼望的人哪！要归回保障。
今天我要宣告：我必加倍补偿给你。
13 我把犹大作我手上拉开的弓，
把以法莲作我弓上的箭。
锡安哪！我必激动你的众子，去攻击希腊的众子；
我必使你像勇士的刀剑。
14 耶和华必在他子民头上显现，
他的箭必像闪电一般射出；
主耶和华必吹起号角，
乘着南方的暴风而行。
15 万军之耶和华必护卫他们，
他们要用投石器投石吞灭和制伏敌人；
他们必喝血，并且喧嚷，像喝醉了酒一样；
他们必像献祭用的碗盛满了血，
又像祭坛的角，沾满了血。
16 到那日，耶和华他们的 神必拯救他们，
待他的子民好象羊群一样，
因为他们必像冠冕上的宝石，
闪耀在他的地上。
17 他们将是多么的善，多么的美；
五谷和新酒使少男少女生气蓬勃。
Zechariah 9
King James Version
9 The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the Lord.
2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
14 And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
15 The Lord of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.
16 And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
Zechariah 9
Contemporary English Version
Israel's Enemies Will Be Punished
9 (A)(B) This is a message
from the Lord:
His eyes are on everyone,
especially the tribes
of Israel.[a]
So he pronounces judgment
against the cities
of Hadrach and Damascus.[b]
2 Judgment will also fall
on the nearby city
of Hamath,
as well as on Tyre and Sidon,[c]
whose people are clever.
3 Tyre has built a fortress
and piled up silver and gold,
as though they were dust
or mud from the streets.
4 Now the Lord will punish Tyre
with poverty;
he will sink its ships
and send it up in flames.
5 (C) Both Ashkelon and Gaza
will tremble with fear;
Ekron will lose all hope.
Gaza's king will be killed,
and Ashkelon emptied
of its people.
6 A mob of half-breeds
will settle in Ashdod,[d]
and the Lord himself
will rob Philistia of pride.
7 No longer will the Philistines
eat meat with blood in it
or any unclean food.[e]
They will become part
of the people of our God
from the tribe of Judah.
And God will accept
the people of Ekron,
as he did the Jebusites.[f]
8 God says, “I will stand guard
to protect my temple from those
who come to attack.
I know what's happening,
and no one will mistreat
my people ever again.”
The Lord Tells about the Coming King
9 (D) Everyone in Jerusalem,
celebrate and shout!
Your king has won a victory,
and he is coming to you.
He is humble
and rides on a donkey;
he comes on the colt
of a donkey.
10 (E) I, the Lord, will take away
war chariots and horses
from Israel[g] and Jerusalem.
Bows that were made for battle
will be broken.
I will bring peace to nations,
and your king will rule
from sea to sea.
His kingdom will reach
from the Euphrates River
across the earth.
The Lord Promises To Rescue Captives
11 (F) When I made a sacred agreement
with you, my people,
we sealed it with blood.[h]
Now some of you are captives
in waterless pits,
but I will come to your rescue
12 and offer you hope.
Return to your fortress,
because today I will reward you
with twice what you had.
13 I will use Judah as my bow
and Israel[i] as my arrow.
I will take the people of Zion
as my sword
and attack the Greeks.
The Lord Will Protect His People
14 Like a cloud, the Lord God
will appear over his people,
and his arrows will flash
like lightning.
God will sound his trumpet
and attack in a whirlwind
from the south.
15 The Lord All-Powerful
will protect his people,
and they will trample down
the sharpshooters
and their slingshots.
They will drink and get rowdy;
they will be as full as a bowl
at the time of sacrifice.
16 The Lord God will save them
on that day,
because they are his people,
and they will shine on his land
like jewels in a crown.
17 How lovely they will be.
Young people will grow there
like grain in a field
or grapes in a vineyard.
