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。’”

禁食问题
7 大利乌王第四年九月，就是基斯流月初四日，耶和华的话临到撒迦利亚。 2 那时，伯特利人差派了沙利色、利坚米勒和他的随从，去恳求耶和华施恩。 3 他们询问万军之耶和华殿里的众祭司，以及众先知说：“我们还要在五月哭泣和禁食，像我们这许多年来所行的吗？”
4 万军之耶和华的话临到我，说： 5 “你要告诉这地的人民和祭司说：‘这七十年来，你们在五月和七月禁食哀哭，岂是真的为我禁食呢？ 6 你们吃，你们喝，岂不是为你们自己吃，为你们自己喝吗？ 7 这些话耶和华不是曾借着从前的先知宣告了吗？那时，耶路撒冷和四围的城镇都有人居住，很是兴旺，南地和高地都有人居住。’”
被掳是因为悖逆 神
8 耶和华的话又临到撒迦利亚说： 9 “万军之耶和华曾这样告诉你们的列祖说：‘你们要执法公正，各人要以慈爱和怜悯待自己的兄弟。 10 寡妇、孤儿、寄居的和贫穷人，你们都不可欺压，也不可各自心里图谋恶事，陷害自己的兄弟。’ 11 但他们不肯听从，反而硬着颈项，充耳不闻（“反而硬着颈项，充耳不闻”直译作“转着固执的肩膊，使自己的耳朵发沉不听”）。 12 他们使自己的心刚硬如金钢石，不肯听从律法和万军之耶和华借着他的灵、透过从前的先知所说的话。因此，万军之耶和华非常忿怒。 13 我曾呼唤他们，他们不听；照样，将来他们呼求我，我也不听。这是万军之耶和华说的。 14 我用旋风把他们吹散到他们不认识的列国去，他们留下的地就荒凉了，以致无人来往经过，因为他们使这美好之地变为荒凉了。”
Zechariah 7
New Life Version
It Is Better to Obey Than Go without Food
7 In the fourth year of King Darius, the Word of the Lord came to Zechariah. This was on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev. 2 Now the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regemmelech and their men to ask for the Lord’s favor. 3 They asked the religious leaders of the house of the Lord of All, and the men who speak for God, “Should I cry and go without food in the fifth month, as I have done these many years?” 4 Then the Word of the Lord of All came to me saying, 5 “Say to all the people of the land and to the religious leaders, ‘When you went without food and cried in sorrow in the fifth and seventh months these 70 years, was it to honor Me? 6 When you eat and drink, do you not eat and drink for yourselves? 7 Are not these the words the Lord made known through the men who spoke for Him in the past? They spoke these words when Jerusalem was full of people and riches, together with the cities around it, and when the Negev and the lower hills were full of people.’”
People Taken Away Because Of Not Obeying
8 Then the Word of the Lord came to Zechariah saying, 9 “The Lord of All said, ‘Do what is right and be kind and show loving-pity to one another. 10 Do not make it hard for the woman whose husband has died, or the child who has no parents, or the stranger, or the poor. Do not make sinful plans in your hearts against one another.’ 11 But they would not listen. They turned away and stopped their ears from hearing. 12 They made their hearts like hard stone, so that they could not hear the Law and the words which the Lord of All had sent by His Spirit through the men who spoke for Him in the past. So the Lord of All became very angry. 13 When I called, they would not listen. So when they called, I would not listen,” says the Lord of All. 14 “With the wind of a storm I sent them everywhere among all the nations that they had not known. The land was laid waste behind them, so that no one could come or go. They turned the good land into an empty waste.”
