撒迦利亞書 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
對耶路撒冷的應許
8 萬軍之耶和華的話傳給了我,說: 2 「萬軍之耶和華說,『我對錫安充滿了火熱的愛,我為錫安而大發烈怒。 3 我要回到錫安,住在耶路撒冷。耶路撒冷必被稱為忠信之城,我的山必被稱為聖山。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 4 必再次有年紀老邁、手拿拐杖的男女坐在耶路撒冷的街上。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 5 街上必到處都是玩耍的男女孩童。』 6 萬軍之耶和華說,『那時,這事在這些餘民看來是不可能的,但在我看來毫不稀奇。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。』 7 萬軍之耶和華說,『看啊,我要從東方和西方救出我的子民, 8 帶他們回到耶路撒冷居住。他們要做我的子民,我要做他們信實和公義的上帝。』
9 「萬軍之耶和華說,『在奠立萬軍之耶和華殿的根基那天,眾先知都在場。現今聽見這些先知之言的人啊,你們要剛強,以便可以建造聖殿! 10 那日之前,人和牲畜都得不到工錢。在敵人的威脅下,人們出入沒有平安。因為我使眾人彼此為敵。 11 如今我不會像從前那樣對待這些餘民了。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 12 因為他們必平安地撒種,葡萄樹必結果子,土地必出產五穀,天必降下甘霖,我要把這些福氣賜給這些餘民。 13 猶大家和以色列家啊,從前你們在列國中是受咒詛的,現在我要拯救你們,使你們成為蒙福的人。你們不要懼怕,要剛強。』
14 「萬軍之耶和華說,『從前你們的祖先惹我發怒,我決定毫不留情地降禍給他們。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 15 現在我決定賜福給耶路撒冷和猶大家。你們不要懼怕。 16 你們所當做的是彼此說真話,在城門口秉公斷案,使人和睦。 17 不可設陰謀彼此相害,不可以起假誓為樂,因為這些都是我所憎惡的。這是耶和華說的。』」
18 萬軍之耶和華的話傳給了我,說: 19 「萬軍之耶和華說,『四月、五月、七月、十月的禁食必成為猶大家歡喜快樂的日子和幸福的節期。因此,你們要喜愛真理與和平。 20 各族的人和各城的居民都必來這裡。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 21 這一城的居民必到那一城,說,我們快去向耶和華求恩,去尋求萬軍之耶和華吧!我自己也去。 22 各民族和各強國必來耶路撒冷尋求萬軍之耶和華,向耶和華求恩。 23 那時,十個來自列國、講不同語言的人必拉住一個猶大人的衣角,說,讓我們跟你們同去吧,因為我們聽說上帝與你們同在。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。』」

Prospettive di salvezza messianica
8 Questa parola del Signore degli eserciti mi fu rivolta: 2 «Così dice il Signore degli eserciti:
Sono acceso di grande gelosia per Sion,
un grande ardore m'infiamma per lei.
3 Dice il Signore: Tornerò a Sion e dimorerò in Gerusalemme. Gerusalemme sarà chiamata Città della fedeltà e il monte del Signore degli eserciti Monte santo». 4 Dice il Signore degli eserciti: «Vecchi e vecchie siederanno ancora nelle piazze di Gerusalemme, ognuno con il bastone in mano per la loro longevità. 5 Le piazze della città formicoleranno di fanciulli e di fanciulle, che giocheranno sulle sue piazze». 6 Dice il Signore degli eserciti: «Se questo sembra impossibile agli occhi del resto di questo popolo in quei giorni, sarà forse impossibile anche ai miei occhi?» - dice il Signore degli eserciti -.
7 Così dice il Signore degli eserciti:
«Ecco, io salvo il mio popolo
dalla terra d'oriente e d'occidente:
8 li ricondurrò ad abitare in Gerusalemme;
saranno il mio popolo e io sarò il loro Dio,
nella fedeltà e nella giustizia».
9 Dice il Signore degli eserciti: «Riprendano forza le vostre mani. Voi in questi giorni ascoltate queste parole dalla bocca dei profeti; oggi vien fondata la casa del Signore degli eserciti con la ricostruzione del tempio.
10 Ma prima di questi giorni
non c'era salario per l'uomo,
né salario per l'animale;
non c'era sicurezza alcuna
per chi andava e per chi veniva
a causa degli invasori:
io stesso mettevo gli uomini l'un contro l'altro.
11 Ora invece verso il resto di questo popolo
io non sarò più come sono stato prima
- dice il Signore degli eserciti -.
12 E' un seme di pace:
la vite produrrà il suo frutto,
la terra darà i suoi prodotti,
i cieli daranno la rugiada:
darò tutto ciò al resto di questo popolo.
13 Come foste oggetto di maledizione fra le genti, o casa di Giuda e d'Israele, così quando vi avrò salvati, diverrete una benedizione. Non temete dunque: riprendano forza le vostre mani».
14 Così dice il Signore degli eserciti: «Come decisi di affliggervi quando i vostri padri mi provocarono all'ira - dice il Signore degli eserciti - e non mi lasciai commuovere, 15 così invece mi darò premura in questi giorni di fare del bene a Gerusalemme e alla casa di Giuda; non temete. 16 Ecco ciò che voi dovrete fare: parlate con sincerità ciascuno con il suo prossimo; veraci e sereni siano i giudizi che terrete alle porte delle vostre città. 17 Nessuno trami nel cuore il male contro il proprio fratello; non amate il giuramento falso, poiché io detesto tutto questo» - oracolo del Signore -.
Risposta alla domanda del digiuno
18 Mi fu ancora rivolta questa parola del Signore degli eserciti: 19 «Così dice il Signore degli eserciti: Il digiuno del quarto, quinto, settimo e decimo mese si cambierà per la casa di Giuda in gioia, in giubilo e in giorni di festa, purché amiate la verità e la pace».
Prospettive di salvezza messianica
20 Dice il Signore degli eserciti: «Anche popoli e abitanti di numerose città si raduneranno 21 e si diranno l'un l'altro: Su, andiamo a supplicare il Signore, a trovare il Signore degli eserciti; ci vado anch'io. 22 Così popoli numerosi e nazioni potenti verranno a Gerusalemme a consultare il Signore degli eserciti e a supplicare il Signore».
23 Dice il Signore degli eserciti: «In quei giorni, dieci uomini di tutte le lingue delle genti afferreranno un Giudeo per il lembo del mantello e gli diranno: Vogliamo venire con voi, perché abbiamo compreso che Dio è con voi».

Obedience and Feasting
8 The word of the Lord of Armies came: 2 The Lord of Armies says this: ‘I am extremely jealous(A) for Zion; I am jealous for her with great wrath.’ 3 The Lord says this: ‘I will return to Zion and live in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the Faithful City;(B) the mountain of the Lord of Armies will be called the Holy Mountain.’ 4 The Lord of Armies says this: ‘Old men and women will again sit along the streets of Jerusalem, each with a staff in hand because of their advanced age. 5 The streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in them.’ 6 The Lord of Armies says this: ‘Though it may seem impossible to the remnant of this people in those days, should it also seem impossible to me? ’ – this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies. 7 The Lord of Armies says this: ‘I will save my people from the land of the east and the land of the west.[a] 8 I will bring them back(C) to live in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their faithful and righteous God.’(D)
9 The Lord of Armies says this: ‘Let your hands be strong, you who now hear these words that the prophets spoke when the foundations were laid for the rebuilding of the temple, the house of the Lord of Armies. 10 For prior to those days neither people nor animals had wages. There was no safety from the enemy for anyone who came or went, for I turned everyone against his neighbour. 11 But now, I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the former days’ – this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies. 12 ‘For they will sow in peace: the vine will yield its fruit, the land will yield its produce, and the skies will yield their dew. I will give the remnant of this people all these things as an inheritance.(E) 13 As you have been a curse among the nations,(F) house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you will be a blessing.(G) Don’t be afraid; let your hands be strong.’ 14 For the Lord of Armies says this: ‘As I resolved to treat you badly when your ancestors provoked me to anger, and I did not relent,’ says the Lord of Armies, 15 ‘so I have resolved again in these days to do what is good to Jerusalem and the house of Judah.(H) Don’t be afraid. 16 These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another; make true and sound decisions within your city gates. 17 Do not plot evil(I) in your hearts against your neighbour,(J) and do not love perjury,(K) for I hate all this’ – this is the Lord’s declaration.
18 Then the word of the Lord of Armies came to me: 19 The Lord of Armies says this: ‘The fast of the fourth month,(L) the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth(M) will become times of joy, gladness, and cheerful festivals for the house of Judah. Therefore, love truth and peace.’ 20 The Lord of Armies says this: ‘Peoples will yet come, the residents of many cities; 21 the residents of one city will go to another, saying: Let’s go at once to plead for the Lord’s favour and to seek the Lord of Armies. I am also going. 22 Many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the Lord of Armies in Jerusalem and to plead for the Lord’s favour.’(N) 23 The Lord of Armies says this: ‘In those days, ten men from nations of every language will grab the robe of a Jewish man tightly, urging: Let us go with you,(O) for we have heard that God is with you.’

The Lord Promises to Bless Jerusalem
8 The word of the Lord Almighty came to me.
2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “I am very jealous(A) for Zion; I am burning with jealousy for her.”
3 This is what the Lord says: “I will return(B) to Zion(C) and dwell in Jerusalem.(D) Then Jerusalem will be called the Faithful City,(E) and the mountain(F) of the Lord Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.(G)”
4 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem,(H) each of them with cane in hand because of their age. 5 The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there.(I)”
6 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “It may seem marvelous to the remnant of this people at that time,(J) but will it seem marvelous to me?(K)” declares the Lord Almighty.
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will save my people from the countries of the east and the west.(L) 8 I will bring them back(M) to live(N) in Jerusalem; they will be my people,(O) and I will be faithful and righteous to them as their God.(P)”
9 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Now hear these words, ‘Let your hands be strong(Q) so that the temple may be built.’ This is also what the prophets(R) said who were present when the foundation(S) was laid for the house of the Lord Almighty. 10 Before that time there were no wages(T) for people or hire for animals. No one could go about their business safely(U) because of their enemies, since I had turned everyone against their neighbor. 11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as I did in the past,”(V) declares the Lord Almighty.
12 “The seed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit,(W) the ground will produce its crops,(X) and the heavens will drop their dew.(Y) I will give all these things as an inheritance(Z) to the remnant of this people.(AA) 13 Just as you, Judah and Israel, have been a curse[a](AB) among the nations, so I will save(AC) you, and you will be a blessing.[b](AD) Do not be afraid,(AE) but let your hands be strong.(AF)”
14 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Just as I had determined to bring disaster(AG) on you and showed no pity when your ancestors angered me,” says the Lord Almighty, 15 “so now I have determined to do good(AH) again to Jerusalem and Judah.(AI) Do not be afraid. 16 These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth(AJ) to each other, and render true and sound judgment(AK) in your courts;(AL) 17 do not plot evil(AM) against each other, and do not love to swear falsely.(AN) I hate all this,” declares the Lord.
18 The word of the Lord Almighty came to me.
19 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “The fasts of the fourth,(AO) fifth,(AP) seventh(AQ) and tenth(AR) months will become joyful(AS) and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth(AT) and peace.”
20 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, 21 and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, ‘Let us go at once to entreat(AU) the Lord and seek(AV) the Lord Almighty. I myself am going.’ 22 And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord Almighty and to entreat him.”(AW)
23 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’”(AX)
