你們要轉向我

¹大利烏王第二年八月，耶和華的話臨到易多的孫子、比利家的兒子先知撒迦利亞，說：In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying:

²「耶和華曾向你們列祖大大發怒。“The LORD was very angry with your fathers.

³所以你要對以色列人說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們要轉向我，我就轉向你們。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。So tell the people that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Return to Me, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of Hosts.’

⁴不要效法你們列祖。從前的先知呼叫他們說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：『你們要回頭離開你們的惡道惡行。』他們卻不聽，也不順從我。這是耶和華說的。Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Turn now from your evil ways and deeds.’ But they did not listen or pay attention to Me, declares the LORD.

⁵你們的列祖在哪裡呢？那些先知能永遠存活嗎？Where are your fathers now? And the prophets, do they live forever?

⁶只是我的言語和律例，就是所吩咐我僕人眾先知的，豈不臨到你們列祖嗎？他們就回頭，說：『萬軍之耶和華定意按我們的行動作為向我們怎樣行，他已照樣行了。』」But did not My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, overtake your fathers? They repented and said, ‘Just as the LORD of Hosts purposed to do to us according to our ways and deeds, so He has done to us.’”

異象一：番石榴樹中騎紅馬的人

⁷大利烏第二年十一月，就是細罷特月二十四日，耶和華的話臨到易多的孫子、比利家的兒子先知撒迦利亞，說：On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo.

⁸「我夜間觀看，見一人騎著紅馬，站在窪地番石榴樹中間。在他身後又有紅馬、黃馬，和白馬。」I looked out into the night and saw a man riding on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in the hollow, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.

⁹我對與我說話的天使說：「主啊，這是甚麼意思？」他說：「我要指示你這是甚麼意思。」“What are these, my lord?” I asked. And the angel who was speaking with me replied, “I will show you what they are.”

¹⁰那站在番石榴樹中間的人說：「這是奉耶和華差遣在遍地走來走去的。」Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones the LORD has sent to patrol the earth.”

¹¹那些騎馬的對站在番石榴樹中間耶和華的使者說：「我們已在遍地走來走去，見全地都安息平靜。」And the riders answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and tranquil.”

¹²於是，耶和華的使者說：「萬軍之耶和華啊，你惱恨耶路撒冷和猶大的城邑已經七十年，你不施憐憫要到幾時呢？」Then the angel of the LORD said, “How long, O LORD of Hosts, will You withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been angry these seventy years?”

¹³耶和華就用美善的安慰話回答那與我說話的天使。So the LORD spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who was speaking with me.

¹⁴與我說話的天使對我說：「你要宣告說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：我為耶路撒冷為錫安，心裡極其火熱。Then the angel who was speaking with me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,

¹⁵我甚惱怒那安逸的列國，因我從前稍微惱怒我民，他們就加害過分。but I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease. For I was a little angry, but they have added to the calamity.’

¹⁶所以耶和華如此說：現今我回到耶路撒冷，仍施憐憫，我的殿必重建在其中，準繩必拉在耶路撒冷之上。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there My house will be rebuilt, declares the LORD of Hosts, and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.’

¹⁷你要再宣告說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：我的城邑必再豐盛發達。耶和華必再安慰錫安，揀選耶路撒冷。」Proclaim further that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘My cities will again overflow with prosperity; the LORD will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’”

異象二：四角和四個匠人

¹⁸我舉目觀看，見有四角。Then I looked up and saw four horns.

¹⁹我就問與我說話的天使說：「這是甚麼意思？」他回答說：「這是打散猶大、以色列，和耶路撒冷的角。」So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he told me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

²⁰耶和華又指四個匠人給我看。Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen.

²¹我說：「他們來做甚麼呢？」他說：「這是打散猶大的角，使人不敢抬頭；但這些匠人來威嚇列國，打掉他們的角，就是舉起打散猶大地的角。」“What are these coming to do?” I asked. And He replied, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise his head; but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations that have lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

異象三：手拿準繩的人

¹我又舉目觀看，見一人手拿準繩。Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.

²我說：「你往哪裡去？」他對我說：「要去量耶路撒冷，看有多寬多長。」“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”

³與我說話的天使去的時候，又有一位天使迎著他來，Then the angel who was speaking with me went forth, and another angel came forward to meet him

⁴對他說：「你跑去告訴那少年人說，耶路撒冷必有人居住，好像無城牆的鄉村，因為人民和牲畜甚多。and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.

⁵耶和華說：我要作耶路撒冷四圍的火城，並要作其中的榮耀。」For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”

從北方之地逃回

⁶耶和華說：「我從前分散你們在天的四方（原文是猶如天的四風），現在你們要從北方之地逃回。這是耶和華說的。“Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.

⁷與巴比倫人同住的錫安民哪，應當逃脫。“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”

⁸萬軍之耶和華說，在顯出榮耀之後，差遣我去懲罰那擄掠你們的列國，摸你們的就是摸他眼中的瞳人。For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—

⁹看哪，我（或譯：他）要向他們掄手，他們就必作服事他們之人的擄物，你們便知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我了。I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”

我來要住在你中間

¹⁰錫安城啊，應當歡樂歌唱，因為我來要住在你中間。這是耶和華說的。“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD.

¹¹那時，必有許多國歸附耶和華，作他（原文是我）的子民。他（原文是我）要住在你中間，你就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我到你那裡去了。“On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.

¹²耶和華必收回猶大作他聖地的分，也必再揀選耶路撒冷。And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.

¹³凡有血氣的都當在耶和華面前靜默無聲；因為他興起，從聖所出來了。Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”

異象四：大祭司約書亞換上華美衣服

¹天使（原文是他）又指給我看：大祭司約書亞站在耶和華的使者面前；撒但也站在約書亞的右邊，與他作對。Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

²耶和華向撒但說：「撒但哪，耶和華責備你！就是揀選耶路撒冷的耶和華責備你！這不是從火中抽出來的一根柴嗎？」And the LORD said to Satan: “The LORD rebukes you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you! Is not this man a firebrand snatched from the fire?”

³約書亞穿著污穢的衣服站在使者面前。Now Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.

⁴使者吩咐站在面前的說：「你們要脫去他污穢的衣服」；又對約書亞說：「我使你脫離罪孽，要給你穿上華美的衣服。」So the angel said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have removed your iniquity, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”

⁵我說：「要將潔淨的冠冕戴在他頭上。」他們就把潔淨的冠冕戴在他頭上，給他穿上華美的衣服，耶和華的使者在旁邊站立。Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him, as the angel of the LORD stood by.

⁶耶和華的使者告誡約書亞說：Then the angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:

⁷「萬軍之耶和華如此說：你若遵行我的道，謹守我的命令，你就可以管理我的家，看守我的院宇；我也要使你在這些站立的人中間來往。“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, then you will govern My house and will also have charge of My courts; and I will give you a place among these who are standing here.

我僕人大衛的苗裔

⁸大祭司約書亞啊，你和坐在你面前的同伴都當聽。（他們是作預兆的。）我必使我僕人大衛的苗裔發出。Hear now, O high priest Joshua, you and your companions seated before you, who are indeed a sign. For behold, I am going to bring My servant, the Branch.

⁹看哪，我在約書亞面前所立的石頭，在一塊石頭上有七眼。萬軍之耶和華說：我要親自雕刻這石頭，並要在一日之間除掉這地的罪孽。See the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave on it an inscription, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.

¹⁰當那日，你們各人要請鄰舍坐在葡萄樹和無花果樹下。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, you will each invite your neighbor to sit under your own vine and fig tree.’”

異象五：金燈臺和兩棵橄欖樹

¹那與我說話的天使又來叫醒我，好像人睡覺被喚醒一樣。Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me, as a man is awakened from his sleep.

²他問我說：「你看見了甚麼？」我說：「我看見了一個純金的燈臺，頂上有燈盞，燈臺上有七盞燈，每盞有七個管子。“What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps.

³旁邊有兩棵橄欖樹，一棵在燈盞的右邊，一棵在燈盞的左邊。」There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left.”

⁴我問與我說話的天使說：「主啊，這是甚麼意思？」“What are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.

⁵與我說話的天使回答我說：「你不知道這是甚麼意思麼？」我說：「主啊，我不知道。」“Do you not know what they are?” replied the angel. “No, my lord,” I answered.

乃是倚靠我的靈

⁶他對我說：「這是耶和華指示所羅巴伯的。萬軍之耶和華說：不是倚靠勢力，不是倚靠才能，乃是倚靠我的靈方能成事。So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts.

⁷大山哪，你算甚麼呢？在所羅巴伯面前，你必成為平地。他必搬出一塊石頭，安在殿頂上。人且大聲歡呼說：『願恩惠恩惠歸與這殿（殿：或譯石）！』」What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”

⁸耶和華的話又臨到我說：Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

⁹「所羅巴伯的手立了這殿的根基，他的手也必完成這工，你就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我到你們這裡來了。“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you.

¹⁰誰藐視這日的事為小呢？這七眼乃是耶和華的眼睛，遍察全地，見所羅巴伯手拿線鉈就歡喜。」For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven eyes of the LORD, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”

¹¹我又問天使說：「這燈臺左右的兩棵橄欖樹是甚麼意思？」Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”

¹²我二次問他說：「這兩根橄欖枝在兩個流出金色油的金嘴旁邊是甚麼意思？」And I questioned him further, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes from which the golden oil pours?”

¹³他對我說：「你不知道這是甚麼意思麼？」我說：「主啊，我不知道。」“Do you not know what these are?” he inquired. “No, my lord,” I replied.

¹⁴他說：「這是兩個受膏者站在普天下主的旁邊。」So he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth.”

異象六：飛行的書卷

¹我又舉目觀看，見有一飛行的書卷。Again I lifted up my eyes and saw before me a flying scroll.

²他問我說：「你看見甚麼？」我回答說：「我看見一飛行的書卷，長二十肘，寬十肘。」“What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied, “twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”

³他對我說：「這是發出行在遍地上的咒詛。凡偷竊的必按卷上這面的話除滅；凡起假誓的必按卷上那面的話除滅。Then he told me, “This is the curse that is going out over the face of all the land, for according to one side of the scroll, every thief will be removed; and according to the other side, every perjurer will be removed.

⁴萬軍之耶和華說：我必使這書卷出去，進入偷竊人的家和指我名起假誓人的家，必常在他家裡，連房屋帶木石都毀滅了。」I will send it out, declares the LORD of Hosts, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by My name. It will remain inside his house and destroy it, down to its timbers and stones.”

異象七：量器中的婦人

⁵與我說話的天使出來，對我說：「你要舉目觀看，見所出來的是甚麼？」Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, “Now lift up your eyes and see what is approaching.”

⁶我說：「這是甚麼呢？」他說：「這出來的是量器。」他又說：「這是惡人在遍地的形狀。」“What is it?” I asked. And he replied, “A measuring basket is going forth.” Then he continued, “This is their iniquity in all the land.”

⁷（我見有一片圓鉛被舉起來。）這坐在量器中的是個婦人。And behold, the cover of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.

⁸天使說：「這是罪惡。」他就把婦人扔在量器中，將那片圓鉛扔在量器的口上。“This is Wickedness,” he said. And he shoved her down into the basket, pushing down the lead cover over its opening.

⁹我又舉目觀看，見有兩個婦人出來，在她們翅膀中有風，飛得甚快，翅膀如同鸛鳥的翅膀。她們將量器抬起來，懸在天地中間。Then I lifted up my eyes and saw two women approaching, with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

¹⁰我問與我說話的天使說：「她們要將量器抬到哪裡去呢？」“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.

¹¹他對我說：「要往示拿地去，為它蓋造房屋；等房屋齊備，就把它安置在自己的地方。」“To build a house for it in the land of Shinar,” he told me. “And when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its pedestal.”

異象八：四輛車

¹我又舉目觀看，見有四輛車從兩山中間出來；那山是銅山。And again I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.

²第一輛車套著紅馬，第二輛車套著黑馬。The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,

³第三輛車套著白馬，第四輛車套著有斑點的壯馬。the third white horses, and the fourth dappled horses—all of them strong.

⁴我就問與我說話的天使說：「主啊，這是甚麼意思？」So I inquired of the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”

⁵天使回答我說：「這是天的四風，是從普天下的主面前出來的。」And the angel told me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth from their station before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶套著黑馬的車往北方去，白馬跟隨在後；有斑點的馬往南方去。The one with the black horses is going toward the land of the north, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”

⁷壯馬出來，要在遍地走來走去。天使說：「你們只管在遍地走來走去。」牠們就照樣行了。As the strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth; and the LORD said, “Go and patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.

⁸他又呼叫我說：「看哪，往北方去的已在北方安慰我的心。」Then the LORD summoned me and said, “Behold, those going to the land of the north have given rest to My Spirit in the land of the north.”

天上的哈利路亞

¹此後，我聽見好像群眾在天上大聲說：哈利路亞（就是要讚美耶和華的意思）！救恩、榮耀、權能都屬乎我們的　神！After this I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude in heaven, shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!

²他的判斷是真實公義的；因他判斷了那用淫行敗壞世界的大淫婦，並且向淫婦討流僕人血的罪，給他們伸冤。For His judgments are true and just. He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality. He has avenged the blood of His servants that was poured out by her hand.”

³又說：哈利路亞！燒淫婦的煙往上冒，直到永永遠遠。And a second time they called out: “Hallelujah! Her smoke rises forever and ever.”

⁴那二十四位長老與四活物就俯伏敬拜坐寶座的　神，說：阿們！哈利路亞！And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying: “Amen, Hallelujah!”

⁵有聲音從寶座出來說：　神的眾僕人哪，凡敬畏他的，無論大小，都要讚美我們的　神！Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you who serve Him, and those who fear Him, small and great alike!”

全能者作王了

⁶我聽見好像群眾的聲音，眾水的聲音，大雷的聲音，說：哈利路亞！因為主─我們的　神、全能者作王了。And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

羔羊婚娶的時候到了

⁷我們要歡喜快樂，將榮耀歸給他。因為，羔羊婚娶的時候到了；新婦也自己預備好了，Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.

⁸就蒙恩得穿光明潔白的細麻衣。（這細麻衣就是聖徒所行的義。）She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.

被請赴羔羊婚筵的有福了

⁹天使吩咐我說：「你要寫上：凡被請赴羔羊之婚筵的有福了！」又對我說：「這是　神真實的話。」Then the angel told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”

你要敬拜神

¹⁰我就俯伏在他腳前要拜他。他說：「千萬不可！我和你，並你那些為耶穌作見證的弟兄同是作僕人的，你要敬拜　神。」因為預言中的靈意乃是為耶穌作見證。So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

騎白馬的稱為誠信真實

¹¹我觀看，見天開了。有一匹白馬，騎在馬上的稱為誠信真實，他審判，爭戰，都按著公義。Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.

¹²他的眼睛如火焰，他頭上戴著許多冠冕；又有寫著的名字，除了他自己沒有人知道。He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows.

¹³他穿著濺了血的衣服；他的名稱為　神之道。He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God.

¹⁴在天上的眾軍騎著白馬，穿著細麻衣，又白又潔，跟隨他。The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow Him on white horses.

¹⁵有利劍從他口中出來，可以擊殺列國。他必用鐵杖轄管（轄管：原文是牧）他們，並要踹全能　神烈怒的酒醡。And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

¹⁶在他衣服和大腿上有名寫著說：「萬王之王，萬主之主。」And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

神的大筵席

¹⁷我又看見一位天使站在日頭中，向天空所飛的鳥大聲喊著說：「你們聚集來赴　神的大筵席，Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God,

¹⁸可以吃君王與將軍的肉，壯士與馬和騎馬者的肉，並一切自主的為奴的，以及大小人民的肉。」so that you may eat the flesh of kings and commanders and mighty men, of horses and riders, of everyone slave and free, small and great.”

獸和假先知被擒拿

¹⁹我看見那獸和地上的君王，並他們的眾軍都聚集，要與騎白馬的並他的軍兵爭戰。Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies assembled to wage war against the One seated on the horse, and against His army.

²⁰那獸被擒拿；那在獸面前曾行奇事、迷惑受獸印記和拜獸像之人的假先知，也與獸同被擒拿。他們兩個就活活地被扔在燒著硫磺的火湖裡；But the beast was captured along with the false prophet, who on its behalf had performed signs deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both the beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

²¹其餘的被騎白馬者口中出來的劍殺了；飛鳥都吃飽了他們的肉。And the rest were killed with the sword that proceeded from the mouth of the One seated on the horse. And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
