撒迦利亚书2 Zechariah

章:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

2:1 我又举目观看,见一人手拿准绳。

I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2:2 我说,你往那里去。他对我说,要去量耶路撒冷,看有多宽多长。

Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

2:3 与我说话的天使去的时候,又有一位天使迎着他来,

And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

2:4 对他说,你跑去告诉那少年人说,耶路撒冷必有人居住,好像无城墙的乡村,因为人民和牲畜甚多。

And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:

2:5 耶和华说,我要作耶路撒冷四围的火城,并要作其中的荣耀。

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

2:6 耶和华说,我从前分散你们在天的四方。(原文作犹如天的四风),现在你们要从北方之地逃回。这是耶和华说的。

Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.

2:7 与巴比伦人同住的锡安民哪,应当逃脱。

Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

2:8 万军之耶和华说,在显出荣耀之后,差遣我去惩罚那掳掠你们的列国。摸你们的,就是摸他眼中的瞳人。

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

2:9 看哪,我(或作他)要向他们抡手,他们就必作服事他们之人的掳物,你们便知道万军之耶和华差遣我了。

For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.

2:10 锡安城阿,应当欢乐歌唱,因为我来要住在你中间。这是耶和华说的。

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.

2:11 那时,必有许多国归附耶和华,作他(原文作我)的子民。他(原文是我)要住在你中间,你就知道万军之耶和华差遣我到你那里去了。

And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

2:12 耶和华必收回犹大作他圣地的分,也必再拣选耶路撒冷。

And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

2:13 凡有血气的,都当在耶和华面前静默无声。因为他兴起,从圣所出来了。

Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.

撒迦利亚书2参考

准绳是……
2:1 手拿准绳之人象徵百姓归回、重建耶路撒冷的盼望,他要量出根基的四界(参1:16;耶31:38-40)。

有家不能回和有家不回,两者的区别不言自明……
2:6-7 许多被掳的犹太人没有归回耶路撒冷,他们选择留在巴比伦,贪享当地的财富和安全。但撒迦利亚叫他们要快快地离开那里。这是一个紧急的呼吁,因为巴比伦快要被毁灭了,而且巴比伦那侈靡的习俗,会使神的子民忘记将属灵的事摆在首位。可惜大多数的以色列人不听警告,仍然留在巴比伦。

神看子民如他眼中的瞳人,我们怎么看其他弟兄姊妹──
2:8 在神的眼中,基督徒非常宝贵(参诗116:15),是他所爱的儿女(参诗103:13)。所以亏待任何基督徒就等于亏待神。耶稣曾告诉门徒,说我们帮助别人,就是帮助他;我们不理或凌辱别人,也就等于不理或凌辱他(参太25:34-46)。所以我们要小心,我们怎样对待弟兄姊妹,也就是怎样对待神。

神住在百姓中间,是指末世吗?
2:9-12 “我”(2:9)可能指弥赛亚而言,他在末后要审判所有欺压神子民的人。神应许要住在他百姓中间,必有多国的人认识他(参约1:14;启21:3)。

必有许多国归附耶和华──神对亚伯拉罕的应许,难道应验了?
2:11-12 神没有忘记他对亚伯拉罕所说的话:“地上的万族都要因你得福”(创12:3)。亚伯拉罕是以色列民族之祖,神应许他的后裔要福泽全人类。自从弥赛亚耶稣降世以来,这个应许就应验了──万族皆藉著他而来到神面前。
