¹劝人民悔改归向　神

¹In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:

²“耶和华曾对你们的列祖大发烈怒，

²`Jehovah was wroth against your fathers — wrath!

³所以，你要对众民说：‘万军之耶和华这样说：你们要转向我（这是万军之耶和华的宣告），我就必转向你们（这是万军之耶和华说的）。

³And thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, turn back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I turn back unto you, said Jehovah of Hosts.

⁴不要效法你们的列祖那样，从前的先知呼唤他们：万军之耶和华这样说，你们要回转，离开你们的恶道和恶行。他们却不听从，也不理会我（这是耶和华的宣告）。

⁴Ye shall not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets called, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Turn back I pray you, From your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they did not hearken, Nor attend to Me — an affirmation of Jehovah.

⁵你们的列祖在哪里呢？那些先知能永远活着吗？

⁵Your fathers — where [are] they? And the prophets — to the age do they live?

⁶然而我吩咐我的仆人众先知的话与条例，不是已报应在你们的列祖身上吗？所以他们就回转，说：万军之耶和华定意按着我们所作所行的对付我们，他已经这样行了。’”

⁶Only, My words, and My statutes, That I commanded My servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers, And they turn back and say: As Jehovah of Hosts designed to do to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He hath done to us?`

⁷骑马者的异象大利乌王第二年十一月（就是细罢特月）二十四日，耶和华的话临到易多的孙子、比利家的儿子撒迦利亚先知，实情如下：

⁷On the twenty and fourth day of the eleventh month, (it [is] the month of Sebat,) in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:

⁸我夜间观看，看见有一个人骑着红马，站在低洼地上的石榴树中间；在他后面还有些红色、栗色和白色的马。

⁸I have seen by night, and lo, one riding on a red horse, and he is standing between the myrtles that [are] in the shade, and behind him [are] horses, red, bay, and white.

⁹我就问：“我主啊，这些是什么？”那与我说话的天使对我说：“我会指示你这些是什么。”

⁹And I say, `What [are] these, my lord?` And the messenger who is speaking with me saith unto me, `I — I do shew thee what these [are].`

¹⁰那站在石榴树中间的人回答：“这些就是耶和华所差遣在遍地巡逻的。”

¹⁰And the one who is standing between the myrtles doth answer and say, `These [are] they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk up and down in the land.`

¹¹那些骑士回报那站在石榴树中间的耶和华使者，说：“我们已经在遍地巡逻；看见全地都安定，一片平静。”

¹¹And they answer the messenger of Jehovah who is standing between the myrtles, and say, `We have walked up and down in the land, and lo, all the land is sitting still, and at rest.`

¹²于是耶和华的使者说：“万军之耶和华啊！你不怜悯耶路撒冷和犹大的城镇，要到几时呢？这七十年来，你一直恼怒它们。”

¹²And the messenger of Jehovah answereth and saith, `Jehovah of Hosts! till when dost Thou not pity Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, that Thou hast abhorred these seventy years?`

¹³耶和华就用满有恩慈和安慰的话回答那与我说话的天使。

¹³And Jehovah answereth the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, comfortable words.

¹⁴那与我说话的天使对我说：“你要宣告：‘万军之耶和华这样说：我为耶路撒冷和锡安心里充满嫉恨。

¹⁴And the messenger who is speaking with me, saith unto me, `Call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem, and for Zion [with] great zeal.

¹⁵我向那些安逸的列国大大恼怒，因为我只是稍微恼怒我的子民，他们却加深他们的祸害。

¹⁵And [with] great wrath I am wroth against the nations who are at ease, For I was a little wroth, and they assisted — for evil.

¹⁶因此，耶和华这样说：我要怀着怜悯的心回到耶路撒冷，我的殿必在城中重建（这是万军之耶和华的宣告）。绳子必拉在耶路撒冷之上。’

¹⁶Therefore, thus said Jehovah: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And a line is stretched over Jerusalem.

¹⁷你要再宣告：‘万军之耶和华这样说：我的城镇必再昌盛繁荣，耶和华必再怜悯锡安，必再拣选耶路撒冷。’”

¹⁷Again call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Again do my cities overflow from good, And Jehovah hath again comforted Zion, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.`

¹⁸四角的异象我又举目观看，看见有四个角。

¹⁸And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four horns.

¹⁹于是我问那与我说话的天使：“这些是什么？”他对我说：“这些就是把犹大、以色列和耶路撒冷赶散的角。”

¹⁹And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, `What [are] these?` And he saith unto me, `These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.`

²⁰四工匠的异象耶和华又使我看见四个匠人。

²⁰And Jehovah doth shew me four artizans.

²¹于是我说：“这些人来作什么？”那天使回答：“他们就是把犹大赶散的角，以致没有一人可以抬起头来；但这些匠人要来惊吓列国，打掉他们的角；这些列国就是曾经举起他们的角攻击犹大地，把犹大地的人赶散的。”（本章第18-21节在《马索拉抄本》为2:1-4）

²¹And I say, `What [are] these coming in to do?` And He speaketh, saying: `These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no one hath lifted up his head, and these come in to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah — to scatter it.`
