  匝加利亞 met 加俾額爾! 圖:http://worldcoincatalog.com/AC/C4/Judah/Judaea.jpg
  Ju'daea(猶太地區) 在猶太王黑落德的時候,阿彼雅班中有一位司祭名叫匝加利亞, 他的妻子是出於亞郎的後代,名叫依撒伯爾。 二人在天主前是義人,都照上主的一切誡命和禮規行事,無可指摘。 但是,他們沒有孩子,因為依撒伯爾素不生育,兩人又都上了年紀。 正逢匝加利亞輪著他的班次,在天主前盡司祭的職務時, 按著司祭的常例,他抽中了籤,得進上主的聖所獻香。 獻香的時候,眾百姓都在外面祈禱。 有一位上主的天使站在香壇右邊顯現給他。 匝加利亞一見,驚惶失措,害怕起來; 但天使向他說: 「匝加利亞,不要害怕!  因為你的祈禱已蒙應允,你的妻子依撒伯爾要給你生一個兒子,  你要給他起名叫若翰。  你必要喜樂歡躍,許多人也要因他的誕生而喜樂,  因為他在上主面將是偉大的,淡酒濃酒他都不喝,  而且,他還在母胎中就要充滿聖神;  他要使許多以色列子民轉向上主,他們的天主;  他要以厄里亞的精神和能力,在衪在前面先行,使為父的心轉向兒子,  使悖逆者轉向義人的心意,並為上主準備一個善良的百姓。」 匝加利亞遂向天使說: 「我憑著什麼能知道這事呢? 因為我已經老了,我的妻子也上了年紀。」 天使回答說: 「我是站在天主在前面的加俾額爾,奉命來向你說話,報給你這個喜訊。  看,你必成為啞吧,不能說話,直到這些事成就的那一天,  因為你沒有相信我的話;但我的話屆時必要應驗。」 百姓等候匝加利亞,都奇怪他滯留在聖所內。 及至他出來後,竟不能與他們講話, 他們這才知道他在聖所中見了異象,他已成了啞吧,只給他們打手勢 他供職的日期一滿,就回了家。 幾天以後,他的妻子依撒伯爾受了孕,自己躲藏了五個月,說: 「上主在眷顧的日子這樣待了我,除去了我在人間的恥辱。」 5 In the days of King Herod(黑落德) of Judaea(猶太) there lived a priest(司 祭) called Zechariah(匝加利亞) who belonged to the Abijah(阿彼雅)section of the priesthood, and he had a wife, Elizabeth(依撒伯爾) by name, who was a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both were upright in the sight of God and impeccably carried out all the commandments and observances of the Lord. 7 But they were childless: Elizabeth was barren and they were both advanced in years. 8 Now it happened that it was the turn of his section to serve, and he was exercising his priestly office before God 9 when it fell to him by lot, as the priestly custom was, to enter the Lord's sanctuary and burn incense there. 10 And at the hour of incense all the people were outside, praying. 11 Then there appeared to him the angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense. 12 The sight disturbed Zechariah and he was overcome with fear. 13 But the angel said to him, 'Zechariah, do not be afraid, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth is to bear you a son and you shall name him John. 14 He will be your joy and delight and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he must drink no wine, no strong drink; even from his mother's womb he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, 16 and he will bring back many of the 'Israelites to the Lord their God. 17 With the spirit and power of Elijah(厄里亞), he will go before him to reconcile fathers to their children and the disobedient to the good sense of the upright, preparing for the Lord a people fit for him.' 18 Zechariah said to the angel, 'How can I know this? I am an old man and my wife is getting on in years.' 19 The angel replied, 'I am Gabriel(加俾額爾), who stand in God's presence, and I have been sent to speak to you and bring you this good news. 20 Look! Since you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time, you will be silenced and have no power of speech until this has happened.' 21 Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zechariah and were surprised that he stayed in the sanctuary so long. 22 When he came out he could not speak to them, and they realised that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. But he could only make signs to them and remained dumb. 23 When his time of service came to an end he returned home. 24 Some time later his wife Elizabeth conceived and for five months she kept to herself, saying, 25 'The Lord has done this for me, now that it has pleased him to take away the humiliation I suffered in public.'    單字: dumb (a) 啞的 deaf (a) 聾的 humiliation *n. 恥辱, 丟臉, 謙卑 conceive *v. 想像, 構思, 以為, 表達, 懷孕 dumb *a. 啞的, 無聲的, 沉默的 sign *n. 符號, 招牌, 徵兆, 正負號, 手勢; v. 簽名, 打手勢表達 --> make signs 打手勢 vision *n. 視覺, 先見之明, 眼光, 洞察力, 視力, 幻想; v. 夢見, 想像, 顯示 --> to see a vision 看到啟示 speech *n. 言語, 說話, 說話方式, 演說, 講話 --> He has no power of speech. 他失去講話的能力 appoint *vt. 指派, 委派, 任命, 分派, 分配, 指定, 約定 presence *n. 出席, 面前, 存在, 風度, 態度 -> I am Gabriel(加俾額爾), who stand in God's presence.
