Zechariah 12
1 An oracle. The word of Jehovah concerning Israel. Jehovah, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:
Et Udsagn; HERRENS Ord om Israel. Det lyder fra HERREN, som udspændte Himmelen, grundfæstede Jorden og dannede Menneskets Aand i dets Indre:
2 "Look, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and on Judah also will it be in the siege against Jerusalem.
Se, jeg gør Jerusalem til et berusende Bæger for alle Folkeslag trindt om; ogsaa Juda skal være med til at belejre Jerusalem.
3 It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
Paa hin Dag gør jeg Jerusalem til Løftesten for alle Folkeslag — enhver, som løfter den, skal rive sig paa den! Og alle Jordens Folk skal samle sig imod det.
4 In that day," says Jehovah, "I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
Paa hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, slaar jeg alle Heste med Angst og Rytterne med Vanvid; Judas Hus aabner jeg Øjnene paa, men alle Folkeslagene slaar jeg med Blindhed.
5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Jehovah of hosts their God.'
Og Judas Stammer skal tænke: »Jerusalems Indbyggere er stærke i Hærskarers HERRE, deres Gud.«
6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
Paa 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 paa sit Sted, i Jerusalem.
7 Jehovah also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
Saa giver HERREN først Judas Telte Sejr, for at Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyggere ikke skal vinde større Ry end Juda.
8 In that day Jehovah will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Jehovah before them.
Paa hin Dag værner HERREN om Jerusalems Indbyggere, og den skrøbeligste iblandt dem skal paa hin Dag blive som David, men Davids Hus som Gud, som HERRENS Engel foran dem.
9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Paa hin Dag vil jeg søge at tilintetgøre alle de Folk, som kommer imod Jerusalem.
10 I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of petition; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.
Og saa udgyder jeg over Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyggere Naadens og Bønnens Aand, saa de ser hen til ham, de har gennemstunget, og sørger over ham, som man sørger over en enbaaren Søn, og holder Klage over ham, som man holder Klage over den førstefødte.
11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Paa hin Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem som Sorgen over Hadadrimmon i Megiddos Dal.
12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
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,
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
Levis Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig, Sjim'iternes Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig,
14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
alle de tiloversblevne Slægter hver for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.
