撒迦利亚书 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
呼吁公义和怜悯
7 大流士王四年九月,即基斯流月四日,耶和华的话传给了撒迦利亚。 2 那时,伯特利人差遣沙利色、利坚米勒及其随从去向耶和华求恩。 3 他们问万军之耶和华殿里的祭司和先知:“我们还要照多年的惯例在五月哀伤、禁食吗?”
4 万军之耶和华的话传给了我,说: 5 “你要对境内的民众和祭司说,‘七十年来,你们在五月和七月禁食、哀伤,难道真的是为了我吗? 6 你们吃喝,难道不是为自己吃、为自己喝吗? 7 这些不是耶和华借从前的先知所宣告的吗?当时耶路撒冷和周围的城邑人口兴盛、繁荣,南地和丘陵都有人居住。’”
8 耶和华的话又传给了撒迦利亚,说: 9 “万军之耶和华曾对你们的祖先说,‘要秉公行义,彼此以慈爱和怜悯相待。 10 不可欺压寡妇、孤儿、寄居者和穷人,不可设阴谋彼此相害。’ 11 他们却不理会,背过身去,充耳不闻, 12 心如铁石,不遵从律法,也不遵从万军之耶和华借着祂的灵指示从前的先知所说的话。因此,万军之耶和华非常愤怒。 13 祂说,‘我曾呼唤他们,他们不听;将来他们呼求我,我也不听。 14 我要用旋风把他们吹散到陌生的万国中,使他们的土地荒凉、杳无人迹,因为他们使美好的土地一片荒凉。’”
撒迦利亞書 7
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
被擄者詢主仍禁食否
7 大流士王第四年九月,就是基斯流月初四日,耶和華的話臨到撒迦利亞。 2 那時伯特利人已經打發沙利色和利堅米勒並跟從他們的人,去懇求耶和華的恩, 3 並問萬軍之耶和華殿中的祭司和先知說:「我歷年以來,在五月間哭泣齋戒,現在還當這樣行嗎?」
撒迦利亞告以禁食非主所悅
4 萬軍之耶和華的話就臨到我說: 5 「你要宣告國內的眾民和祭司說:你們這七十年在五月、七月禁食悲哀,豈是絲毫向我禁食嗎? 6 你們吃喝,不是為自己吃、為自己喝嗎? 7 當耶路撒冷和四圍的城邑有居民,正興盛,南地高原有人居住的時候,耶和華藉從前的先知所宣告的話,你們不當聽嗎?」
民散異邦乃因其惡
8 耶和華的話又臨到撒迦利亞說: 9 「萬軍之耶和華曾對你們的列祖如此說:『要按至理判斷,各人以慈愛憐憫弟兄。 10 不可欺壓寡婦、孤兒、寄居的和貧窮人,誰都不可心裡謀害弟兄。』 11 他們卻不肯聽從,扭轉肩頭,塞耳不聽, 12 使心硬如金鋼石,不聽律法和萬軍之耶和華用靈藉從前的先知所說的話。故此,萬軍之耶和華大發烈怒。 13 萬軍之耶和華說:我曾呼喚他們,他們不聽,將來他們呼求我,我也不聽。 14 我必以旋風吹散他們到素不認識的萬國中。這樣,他們的地就荒涼,甚至無人來往經過,因為他們使美好之地荒涼了。」
Zechariah 7
New International Version
Justice and Mercy, Not Fasting
7 In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah(A) on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev.(B) 2 The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melek, together with their men, to entreat(C) the Lord(D) 3 by asking the priests of the house of the Lord Almighty and the prophets, “Should I mourn(E) and fast in the fifth(F) month, as I have done for so many years?”
4 Then the word of the Lord Almighty came to me: 5 “Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted(G) and mourned in the fifth and seventh(H) months for the past seventy years,(I) was it really for me that you fasted? 6 And when you were eating and drinking, were you not just feasting for yourselves?(J) 7 Are these not the words the Lord proclaimed through the earlier prophets(K) when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were at rest(L) and prosperous, and the Negev and the western foothills(M) were settled?’”(N)
8 And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah: 9 “This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice;(O) show mercy and compassion to one another.(P) 10 Do not oppress the widow(Q) or the fatherless, the foreigner(R) or the poor.(S) Do not plot evil against each other.’(T)
11 “But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly(U) they turned their backs(V) and covered their ears.(W) 12 They made their hearts as hard as flint(X) and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets.(Y) So the Lord Almighty was very angry.(Z)
13 “‘When I called, they did not listen;(AA) so when they called, I would not listen,’(AB) says the Lord Almighty.(AC) 14 ‘I scattered(AD) them with a whirlwind(AE) among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land they left behind them was so desolate that no one traveled through it.(AF) This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.(AG)’”
