Zakarias 12

1 Et Udsagn; HERRENs Ord om Israel. Det lyder fra HERREN; som udspændte Himmelen, grundfæstede Jorden og dannede Menneskets Ånd i dets Indre:

The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. The Lord, stretching forth the heavens and founding the earth and forming the spirit of man within him, says:

2 Se, jeg gør Jerusalem til et berusende Bæger for alle Folkeslag trindt om; også Juda skal være med til at belejre Jerusalem.

Behold, I will set Jerusalem as a lintel of the effects of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, yet even Judah will be in the blockade against Jerusalem.

3 På hin Dag gør jeg Jerusalem til Løftesten for alle Folkeslag - enhver, som løfter den, skal rive sig på den! Og alle Jordens Folk skal samle sig imod det.

And this shall be: In that day, I will set Jerusalem as a burdensome stone to every people. All who will lift it up will be torn to pieces. And all the kingdoms of the earth will be gathered together against her.

4 På hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, slår jeg alle Heste med Angst og Rytterne med Vanvid; Judas Hus åbner jeg Øjnene på, men alle Folkeslagene slår jeg med Blindhed.

In that day, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with stupor and his rider with madness. And I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and I will strike every horse of the people with blindness.

5 Og Judas Stammer skal tænke: "Jerusalems Indbyggere er stærke i Hærskarers HERRE, deres Gud."

And the governors of Judah will say in their heart, “Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me, in the Lord of hosts, their God.”

6 På hin Dag gør jeg Judas Stammer til en Ildgryde mellem Brændestykker, et brændende Blus mellem Neg, og de skal æde til højre og venstre alle Folkeslag trindt om, og Jerusalem bliver roligt på sit Sted, i Jerusalem.

In that day, I will set the governors of Judah like a flaming furnace among wood, and like a flaming torch among hay. And they will devour, to the right and to the left, all the surrounding peoples. And Jerusalem will be inhabited again, in her own place, in Jerusalem.

7 Så giver HERREN først Judas Telte Sejr, for at Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyggere ikke skal vinde større Ry end Juda.

And the Lord will save the tabernacles of Judah, just as in the beginning, so that the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not glorify themselves boastfully against Judah.

8 På hin Dag værner HERREN om Jerusalems Indbyggere, og den skrøbeligste iblandt dem skal på hin Dag blive som David, men Davids Hus som Gud, som HERRENs Engel foran dem.

In that day, the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and even he who will have offended from them, in that day, will be like David, and the house of David will be like that of God, just like an angel of the Lord in their sight.

9 På hin Dag vil jeg søge at tilintetgøre alle de Folk, som kommer imod Jerusalem.

And this shall be in that day: I will seek to crush all the Gentiles that come against Jerusalem.

10 Og så udgyder jeg over Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyg- gere Nådens og Bønnens Ånd, så de ser hen til ham, de har gennemstunget, og sørger over ham, som man sørger over en enbåren Søn, og holder Klage over ham, son1 man holder Klage over den førstefødte.

And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of prayers. And they will look upon me, whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son, and they will feel sorrow over him, as one would be sorrowful at the death of a firstborn.

11 På hin Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem som Sorgen over Hadadrimmon i Megiddos Dal.

In that day, there will be a great lamentation in Jerusalem, like the lamentation of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

12 Landet skal sørge, hver Slægt for sig, Davids Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig, Natans Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig,

And the earth will mourn: families and families separately; the families of the house of David separately, and their women separately;

13 Levis Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig, Sjim'iternes Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig,

the families of the house of Nathan separately, and their women separately; the families of the house of Levi separately, and their women separately; the families of Shimei separately, and their women separately;

14 alle de tiloversblevne Slægter hver for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.

all the rest of the families, families and families separately, and their women separately.
