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:
An oracle. This is the message of the Lord about Israel. The Lord who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the human spirit within people says:
2 Se, jeg gør Jerusalem til et berusende Bæger for alle Folkeslag trindt om; også Juda skal være med til at belejre Jerusalem.
Look! I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness for all the surrounding peoples. There will be a siege of 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.
On that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone to be lifted up by all the peoples. All who lift it up will surely hurt themselves! And all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
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.
On that day, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness. But over the house of Judah I will keep watch, though I strike every horse belonging to the peoples with blindness.
5 Og Judas Stammer skal tænke: "Jerusalems Indbyggere er stærke i Hærskarers HERRE, deres Gud."
And the chieftains of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The strength of the inhabitants is 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 make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire in the woods, like a torch among sheaves, they will devour right and left all the surrounding peoples. But Jerusalem will abide on its own site.
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 first give victory to the tents of Judah, so that the glory of the house of David, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not exalted above 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 the feeblest among them will in that day be like David, and the house of David like God, like the messenger of the Lord before them.
9 På hin Dag vil jeg søge at tilintetgøre alle de Folk, som kommer imod Jerusalem.
And in that day I will seek to destroy all the nations who have come up 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 on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of pity and compassion. They will look on him whom they have pierced and they will lament for him as one laments for an only son. They will bitterly grieve for him as one grieves for the firstborn.
11 På hin Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem som Sorgen over Hadadrimmon i Megiddos Dal.
In that day mourning will be as great in Jerusalem as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon 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 land will mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves, and the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves,
13 Levis Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig, Sjim'iternes Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig,
and the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves, the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves,
14 alle de tiloversblevne Slægter hver for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.
and all the families who are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
