< Zakarias 1 >

1 I den ottende Måned i Darius's andet Regeringsår kom HERRENs Ord til Profeten Zakarias, en Søn af Berekja, en Søn af Iddo, således:
In the month eighth in year two of Darius it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah [the] son of Berekiah [the] son of Iddo the prophet saying.
2 HERREN var fuld af Harme imod eders Fædre.
He was angry Yahweh towards ancestors your anger.
3 Men sig til dem: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Vend om til mig, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, så vil jeg vende om til eder, siger Hærskarers HERRE.
And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh of hosts return to me [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts so I may return to you he says Yahweh of hosts.
4 Vær ikke som eders Fædre, til hvem de tidligere Profeter talte således: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Vend om fra eders onde Veje og onde Gerninger! Men de hørte ikke og ænsede mig ikke, lyder det fra HERREN.
May not you be like ancestors your whom they proclaimed to them the prophets former saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts turn back please from ways your evil (and deeds your *Qk) evil and not they listened and not they paid attention to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
5 Eders Fædre, hvor er de? Og Profeterne, lever de evigt?
Ancestors your where? [are] they and the prophets ¿ to forever do they live.
6 Men mine Ord og Bud, som jeg overgav mine Tjenere Profeterne, nåede de ikke eders Fædre, så de måtte vende om og sige: "Som Hærskarers HERRE havde sat sig for at gøre imod os for vore Vejes og Gerningers Skyld, således gjorde han."
Nevertheless - words my and statutes my which I commanded servants my the prophets ¿ not did they overtake ancestors your and they repented and they said just as he planned Yahweh of hosts to do to us according to ways our and according to deeds our so he has done with us.
7 På den fire og tyvende dag i den ellevte Måned, det er Sjebat Måned, i Darius's andet Regeringsår kom HERRENs Ord til Profeten Zakarias, en Søn af Berekja, en Søn af Iddo, således:
On day twenty and four of one plus ten month it [was] [the] month of Shebat in year two of Darius it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah [the] son of Berekiah [the] son of Iddo the prophet saying.
8 Jeg skuede i Nat, og se, en Mand på en rød Hest holdt mellem Bjergene ved den dybe Kløft, og bag ham var der røde, mørke, hvide og brogede Heste.
I saw - the night and there! a man [was] riding on a horse red and he [was] standing between the myrtle trees which [were] in the hollow and [were] behind him horses red sorrel and white.
9 Jeg spurgte: "Hvad betyder de, Herre?" Og Engelen, som talte med mig, sagde: "Jeg vil vise dig, hvad de betyder."
And I said what? [are] these O lord my and he said to me the angel who was speaking with me I I will show you what? they [are] these.
10 Så tog Manden, som holdt mellem Bjergene, til Orde og sagde: "Det er dem, HERREN udsender, for at de skal drage Jorden rundt."
And he answered the man who was standing between the myrtle trees and he said these [are those] whom he has sent Yahweh to go about on the earth.
11 Og de tog til Orde og sagde til HERRENs Engel, som stod mellem Bjergene: "Vi drog Jorden rundt, og se, hele Jorden er rolig og stille.
And they answered [the] angel of Yahweh who was standing between the myrtle trees and they said we have gone about on the earth and there! all the earth [is] dwelling and [is] undisturbed.
12 HERRENs Engel tog da til Orde og sagde: "Hærskarers HERRE! Hvor længe varer det, før du forbarmer dig over Jerusalem og Judas Byer, som du nu har været vred på i halvfjerdsindstyve År?"
And he answered [the] angel of Yahweh and he said O Yahweh of hosts until when? you not will you have compassion on Jerusalem and [the] cities of Judah which you have been indignant this seventy year[s].
13 Og til Svar gav HERREN Engelen, som talte med mig, gode og trøstende Ord.
And he answered Yahweh the angel who was speaking with me words good words comfort.
14 Engelen, som talte med mig, sagde så til mig: Tal og sig: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Jeg er fuld af Nidkærhed for Jerusalem og Zion
And he said to me the angel who was speaking with me proclaim saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion jealousy great.
15 og af Harme mod de trygge Hedninger, fordi de hjalp til at gøre Ulykken stor, da min Vrede kun var lille.
And anger great I [am] angry towards the nations at ease which I I was angry a little and they they have helped for evil.
16 Derfor, så siger HERREN: Jeg vender mig til Jerusalem og forbarmer mig over det; mit Hus skal opbygges der, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, og der skal udspændes Målesnor over Jerusalem.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion house my it will be rebuilt in it [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts (and a measuring-line *QK) it will be stretched out over Jerusalem.
17 Tal videre: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Mine Byer skal atter strømme med Velsignelse, og HERREN vil atter trøste Zion og udvælge Jerusalem.
Again - proclaim saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts again they will overflow cities my from good and he will comfort Yahweh again Zion and he will choose again Jerusalem.
18 Derpå løftede jeg mine Øjne og skuede, og se, der var fire Horn.
And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! four horns.
19 Jeg spurgte Engelen, som talte med mig: "Hvad betyder de?" Han svarede: "Det er de Horn, som har spredt Juda, Israel og Jerusalem."
And I said to the angel who was speaking with me what? [are] these and he said to me these [are] the horns which they scattered Judah Israel and Jerusalem.
20 Så lod HERREN mig se fire Smede.
And he showed me Yahweh four craftsmen.
21 Jeg spurgte: "Hvad kommer de for?" Og han svarede: "Hine er de Horn, som spredte Juda, så det ikke kunde løfte sit Hoved; og nu kommer disse for at hvæsse Økser til at slå Hornene til Jorden på de Hedninger, som løftede deres Horn mod Judas Land for at sprede det."
And I said what? [are] these coming to do and he said saying these [are] the horns which they scattered Judah according to [the] mouth of a man not he lifted up head his and they have come these [craftsmen] to terrify them to throw down [the] horns of the nations which lifted up a horn against [the] land of Judah to scatter it.
