撒迦利亚书 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
审判邻国
9 与以色列各支派一样，
世人的眼目都仰望耶和华。[a]
以下是耶和华的启示：
祂的惩罚必临到哈得拉，
临到大马士革，
2 以及与大马士革比邻的哈马。
极其聪明的泰尔和西顿也无法幸免。
3 泰尔为自己建造堡垒，
堆积的银子多如尘土，
金子多如街上的泥土。
4 然而，看啊，主必夺去她的一切，
摧毁她海上的权势，
使她被火吞噬。
5 亚实基伦见状必陷入恐惧，
迦萨见状必充满痛苦，
以革伦见状必希望破灭。
迦萨必失去君王，
亚实基伦必荒无人烟。
6 混杂的种族必占领亚实突，
我[b]必铲除非利士人的骄傲。
7 我必除去他们口中带血的肉和齿间的可憎之物。
余下的人必归属我[c]，
成为犹大的一族，
以革伦人必像耶布斯人一样归属我。
8 我必在我家四周安营，
不容敌人入侵，
再也不容外人来欺压我的子民，
因为现在我亲自看顾他们。
要来的君王
9 锡安城啊，要充满喜乐！
耶路撒冷城啊，要欢呼！
看啊，你的王到你这里来了！
祂是公义、得胜的王，
谦卑地骑着驴，
骑着一头驴驹。
10 我必铲除以法莲的战车，
铲除耶路撒冷的战马，
战弓必被折断。
祂必向列国宣告和平，
祂必统治四海之疆，
从幼发拉底河直到地极。
11 锡安啊，因为我用血跟你立了约，
我必将你中间被掳的人从无水之坑释放出来。
12 有盼望的被掳者啊，回到你们的堡垒吧。
今日我宣布，我必加倍地补偿你们。
13 我必把犹大当弓拉开，
把以法莲当箭搭上，
使锡安的众子如勇士之剑，
去攻打希腊的众子。
14 耶和华必在他们上面显现，
祂的箭如闪电射出。
主耶和华必吹响号角，
乘南方的暴风而来。
15 万军之耶和华必保护他们，
他们必用弹石消灭、征服敌人，
饮血呐喊，犹如醉酒，
像献祭用的碗盛满了血，
又像祭坛的四角淌满了血。
16 到那天，他们的上帝耶和华必拯救他们，
视他们为一群祂的子民。
他们必如王冠上的宝石闪耀在祂的土地上。
17 那将是何等的奇妙，何等的美好！
五谷必滋养少男，
新酒必滋养少女。
Zechariah 9

Judgment on Neighboring Nations
9 (A)This is the Lord's message:
He has decreed punishment for the land of Hadrach and for the city of Damascus. Not only the tribes of Israel but also the capital of Syria belong to the Lord. 2 Hamath, which borders on Hadrach, also belongs to him, and so do the cities of Tyre and Sidon, with all their skill. 3 Tyre has built fortifications for herself and has piled up so much silver and gold that it is as common as dirt! 4 But the Lord will take away everything she has. He will throw her wealth into the sea, and the city will be burned to the ground.
5 (B)The city of Ashkelon will see this and be afraid. The city of Gaza will see it and suffer great pain. So will Ekron, and her hopes will be shattered. Gaza will lose her king, and Ashkelon will be left deserted. 6 People of mixed race will live in Ashdod. The Lord says, “I will humble all these proud Philistines. 7 They will no longer eat meat with blood in it, or other forbidden food. All the survivors will become part of my people and be like a clan in the tribe of Judah. Ekron will become part of my people, as the Jebusites[a] did. 8 I will guard my land and keep armies from passing through it. I will not allow tyrants to oppress my people any more. I have seen how my people have suffered.”
The Future King
9 (C)Rejoice, rejoice, people of Zion!
Shout for joy, you people of Jerusalem!
Look, your king is coming to you!
He comes triumphant and victorious,
but humble and riding on a donkey—
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 (D)The Lord says,
“I will remove the war chariots from Israel
and take the horses from Jerusalem;
the bows used in battle will be destroyed.
Your king will make peace among the nations;
he will rule from sea to sea,
from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.”
The Restoration of God's People
11 (E)The Lord says,
“Because of my covenant with you
that was sealed by the blood of sacrifices,
I will set your people free—
free from the waterless pit of exile.
12 Return, you exiles who now have hope;
return to your place of safety.
Now I tell you that I will repay you twice over
with blessing for all you have suffered.
13 I will use Judah like a soldier's bow
and Israel like the arrows.
I will use the men of Zion like a sword,
to fight the men of Greece.”
14 The Lord will appear above his people;
he will shoot his arrows like lightning.
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;
he will march in the storms from the south.
15 The Lord Almighty will protect his people,
and they will destroy their enemies.
They will shout in battle like drunk men
and will shed the blood of their enemies;
it will flow like the blood of a sacrifice
poured on the altar from a bowl.[b]
16 When that day comes, the Lord will save his people,
as a shepherd saves his flock from danger.
They will shine in his land
like the jewels of a crown.
17 How good and beautiful the land will be!
The young people will grow strong on its grain and wine.
