Zechariah 撒迦利亚书09
1The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach and will rest upon Damascus- for the eyes of men and all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord
2and upon Hamath too, which borders on it, and upon Tyre and Sidon, though they are very skillful.
3Tyre has built herself a stronghold; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
4But the Lord will take away her possessions and destroy her power on the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
5Ashkelon will see it and fear; Gaza will writhe 1 in agony, and Ekron too, for her hope will wither 2. Gaza will lose her king and Ashkelon will be deserted 3.
6Foreigners will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines 4.
7I will take the blood from their mouths, the forbidden food from between their teeth. Those who are left will belong to our God and become leaders in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
8But I will defend my house against marauding forces. Never again will an oppressor overrun my people, for now I am keeping watch.
9Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation 5, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the war-horses from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be broken. He will proclaim peace to the nations. His rule will extend from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.
11As for you, because of the blood of my covenant 6 with you, I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12Return to your fortress 7, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.
13I will bend Judah as I bend my bow and fill it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and make you like a warrior's sword.
14Then the Lord will appear over them; his arrow will flash like lightning. The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet 8; he will march in the storms of the south,
15and the Lord Almighty 9 will shield them. They will destroy and overcome with slingstones. They will drink and roar as with wine; they will be full like a bowl used for sprinkling the corners of the altar.
16The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown.
17How attractive and beautiful they will be! Grain will make the young men thrive, and new wine the young women.
