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。’”

呼籲公義和憐憫
7 大流士王四年九月,即基斯流月四日,耶和華的話傳給了撒迦利亞。 2 那時,伯特利人差遣沙利色、利堅米勒及其隨從去向耶和華求恩。 3 他們問萬軍之耶和華殿裡的祭司和先知:「我們還要照多年的慣例在五月哀傷、禁食嗎?」
4 萬軍之耶和華的話傳給了我,說: 5 「你要對境內的民眾和祭司說,『七十年來,你們在五月和七月禁食、哀傷,難道真的是為了我嗎? 6 你們吃喝,難道不是為自己吃、為自己喝嗎? 7 這些不是耶和華藉從前的先知所宣告的嗎?當時耶路撒冷和周圍的城邑人口興盛、繁榮,南地和丘陵都有人居住。』」
8 耶和華的話又傳給了撒迦利亞,說: 9 「萬軍之耶和華曾對你們的祖先說,『要秉公行義,彼此以慈愛和憐憫相待。 10 不可欺壓寡婦、孤兒、寄居者和窮人,不可設陰謀彼此相害。』 11 他們卻不理會,背過身去,充耳不聞, 12 心如鐵石,不遵從律法,也不遵從萬軍之耶和華藉著祂的靈指示從前的先知所說的話。因此,萬軍之耶和華非常憤怒。 13 祂說,『我曾呼喚他們,他們不聽;將來他們呼求我,我也不聽。 14 我要用旋風把他們吹散到陌生的萬國中,使他們的土地荒涼、杳無人跡,因為他們使美好的土地一片荒涼。』」
Zechariah 7
Darby Translation
7 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, [even] in Chislev,
2 when Bethel had sent Sherezer and Regem-melech, and his men, to supplicate Jehovah,
3 [and] to speak unto the priests that were in the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done now so many years?
4 And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying,
5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye really fast unto me, [even] unto me?
6 And when ye ate, and when ye drank, was it not you that were eating and drinking?
7 Are not these the words that Jehovah cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and at peace, and her cities round about her, when the south and the lowland were inhabited?
8 And the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah, saying,
9 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew loving-kindness and mercies one to another,
10 and oppress not the widow and the fatherless, the stranger and the afflicted; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11 But they refused to hearken, and turned a rebellious shoulder, and made their ears heavy, that they should not hear.
12 And they made their heart [as] an adamant, that they should not hear the law, and the words that Jehovah of hosts sent by his Spirit by the hand of the former prophets: therefore was there great wrath from Jehovah of hosts.
13 And it came to pass, like as he called, and they would not hear, so they called, and I would not hear, saith Jehovah of hosts;
14 and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not, and the land was desolate after them, so that no one passed through nor returned; and they laid the pleasant land desolate.
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.”
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)’”
