Zachariasza 9
1 Brzemię słowa Pańskiego przeciwko ziemi, która jest w około ciebie, a Damaszek będzie odpocznieniem jego; albowiem oko Pańskie przypatruje się ludziom i wszystkim pokoleniom Izraelskim;
[This is another] message [that I received] from Yahweh. [Yahweh said, ] “I watch [MTY] everyone, especially the tribes of Israel; [so] I will [punish the people in] the Hadrach [region] and in Damascus [city] [because of what they did to the people of Israel].
2 Nawet i do Emat dosięże, i do Tyru i do Sydonu, choć jest mądry bardzo.
[I will also punish the people in] nearby Hamath [city]. I will also [punish the people in] Tyre and Sidon [cities], even though they are [considered to be] [IRO] very wise.
3 Bo sobie Tyr obronę zbudował, i nazbierał srebra jako prochu, a złota jako błota po ulicach.
[The people in] Tyre built a high wall [around their city]. They piled up [huge amounts of] silver and gold as though they were [piles of] dirt in the streets.
4 Oto Pan go wypędzi, a wrazi w morze siłę jego, a sam od ognia pożarty będzie.
But [I], Yahweh, will cause their precious possessions to be taken away and all their ships to be destroyed, and their city will be destroyed by a fire.
5 Co widząc Aszkalon, ulęknie się, także Gaza wielce żałośne będzie, i Akaron, przeto, że je zawstydziła nadzieja ich; i zginie król z Gazy, a Aszkalon nie będzie osadzone;
[The people in Ashkelon city] will see that [happen], and they will become very afraid. [The people in] Gaza [city] will shake because of being terrified, and [the people in Ekron city] will shake too, because they will no longer expect [to prosper]. The king of [the city of] Gaza will be killed, and [the city of] Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 I będzie mieszkał bękart w Azocie, a tak wykorzenię pychę Filistyńczyków.
Foreigners will occupy Ashdod [city]. I will cause the [people in all those cities of] Philistia to no longer be proud.
7 I odejmę krew każdego od ust jego, i obrzydliwości jego od zębów jego; zostawiony też będzie i on Bogu naszemu, aby był jako książę w Judzie, a Akaron jako Jebuzejczycy.
I will no longer allow them to eat [MTY] meat that still has blood in it, and I will forbid them to eat [MTY] food that I [MTY] have not allowed them to eat [because it was offered to idols]. [At that time, ] the people [in Philistia] who survive will worship me, and they will become [my people, like] the people of Judah are. The Philistine people of Ekron will also become my people like [SIM] the people of Jebus did [when they were conquered].
8 I położę się obozem u domu swego dla wojska, i dla przechodzącego a wracającego się; i nie przejdzie więcej przez nich łupieżca, przeto, że się tak teraz podoba w oczach moich.
I will protect my temple, and I will not allow any [enemy soldiers] to enter it. No [enemies] will harm my people again, because I will be watching [over my people] carefully.
9 Wesel się bardzo, córko Syońska! wykrzykaj, córko Jeruzalemska! Oto król twój przyjdzie tobie sprawiedliwy i zbawiciel ubogi i siedzący na ośle, to jest, na oślęciu, źrebiątku oślicy.
Rejoice very much, [you people of] Jerusalem [APO, DOU] and shout joyfully, because your king will be coming to you. He is righteous and victorious; [but he will be] gentle, and [he will be] riding on a donkey, on a young female donkey.
10 Bo wytracę wozy z Efraima, i konie z Jeruzalemu, i będzie połamany łuk wojenny; i ogłosi pokój narodom, a władza jego (będzie) od morza aż do morza, i od rzeki aż do kończyn ziemi.
I will get rid of the chariots in the Ephraim [region that are used in battles] and [all] the war horses in Jerusalem. [All] the bows used in wars will be broken. [Your king] will proclaim that he will cause things to go well and peacefully in the nations. He will rule [the area] from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Dead] Sea, and from the [Euphrates] River to the most distant places on the earth.
11 Owszem, ty wesel się dla krwi przymierza swego; albowiem wypuściłem więźniów twoich z dołu, w którym niemasz wody.
As for you [my people of Jerusalem], because of the blood [of the animals that were sacrificed to make] my agreement with you, I will free your people who were forced to go to other countries where [it was as though they were kept] in a waterless pit.
12 Wróćcież się tedy do twierdzy, o więźniowie, którzy nadzieję macie! albowiemci i dziś dwojako opowiadam i nagrodzę.
[You people who were] prisoners [in those countries] who [still] confidently expect [God to help you], return to [Judah], where you will be safe. This day I declare that I will give you two blessings for [each of the troubles that you have experienced].
13 Gdyż sobie naciągnę Judę, a łuk napełnię Efraimem; i wzbudzę synów twoich, o Syonie! przeciwko synom twoim, o Jawanie! i zgotuję cię jako miecz mocarza.
I will cause Judah to be like [MET] my bow, and I will cause Israel to be [like] [MET] my arrow. I will enable you young men of Jerusalem to fight against the soldiers of Greece; you will be like [SIM] a warrior’s sword.”
14 Bo się Pan ukaże przeciwko nim, a jako blask wyniknie strzała jego; panujący, mówię, Pan zatrąbi w trąbę, a pójdzie w wichrach południowych.
[Some day] Yahweh will appear [in the sky] above his people, and the arrows that he shoots will be like [SIM] lightning. Yahweh [our] Lord will blow his trumpet, and he will march [fiercely] like [MET] the storms from the south.
15 Pan zastępów ochraniać będzie lud swój, aby podbiwszy sobie kamienie z procy, jedli i pili wykrzykając jako od wina; i napełnią, jako miednice, tak i rogi ołtarza.
The Commander of the armies of angels will protect [his people]; [the soldiers of Judah] will attack and defeat [their enemies who attack them] using slingshots. [Those soldiers of Judah] will drink and celebrate and shout like [SIM] people who are drunk; they will be as full [of wine] as the bowl that holds [the blood of the animals that are sacrificed] and [which is then] sprinkled on the corners of the altar.
16 A tak wybawi ich dnia onego Pan, Bóg ich, jako trzodę ludu swego; bo kamienie wieńcami ozdobione, wystawione będą miasto chorągwi w ziemi jego.
On that day, Yahweh our God will save his people [like a shepherd saves] his flock [of sheep from danger]. In their land, they will be like [SIM] jewels that sparkle on a crown.
17 Albowiem oto o jakie błogosławieństwo jego! i jako wielka ozdoba jego! Zboże młodzieńców, a moszcz panny mowne uczyni.
They will be delightful and beautiful. The young men will become strong from [eating] grain, and the young women will [become strong] from [drinking] new wine.
