Zechariah 9
1 The oracle of the word of Yahweh on the land of Hadrach, and, Damascus, shall be the resting-place thereof, —For, Yahweh, hath an eye—to mankind, and to all the tribes of Israel;
Et Udsagn: HERRENS Ord er over Hadraks Land, i Damaskus slaar det sig ned — thi Aram forbrød sig mod HERREN — det er over alle, som hader Israel,
2 Moreover also, Hamath, adjoineth thereto, Tyre and Zidon, —because very wise;
ogsaa over Hamat, som grænser dertil, Tyrus og Zidon, thi det er saare viist.
3 Therefore did Tyre build a stronghold for herself, —and did heap up silver like dust, yea gold, like the mire of the lanes.
Tyrus bygged sig en Fæstning og ophobed Sølv som Støv og Guld som Gadeskarn.
4 Lo! My Lord, shall dispossess her, and smite, into the sea, her fortress, —and, she herself, in fire, shall be consumed.
Se, HERREN vil tage det i Eje og styrte dets Bolværk i Havet, det selv skal fortæres af Ild.
5 Ashkelon, shall see, and fear, Gaza, also, which shall writhe in great anguish, Ekron, also, because abashed is her expectation, —and the king, shall perish, from Gaza, and, Ashkelon, not be inhabited;
Askalon ser det og frygter, Gaza og Ekron skælver voldsomt, thi Haabet brast. Gaza mister sin Konge, i Askalon skal ingen bo,
6 And there shall be seated a half-breed in Ashdod, —So will I cut off the arrogance of the Philistines;
i Asdod skal Udskud bo. Jeg gør Ende paa Filisterens Hovmod,
7 And will take away his reeking prey out of his mouth, and his abominations, from between his teeth, but, he that is left, even he, shall belong to our God, —So shall he become as a chief in Judah, and, Ekron, as a Jebusite!
tager Blodet ud af hans Mund og Væmmelsen bort fra hans Tænder. Ogsaa han bliver reddet for vor Gud, han bliver som en Slægt i Juda, Ekron som en Jebusit.
8 Then will I encamp about my house—against an army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, neither shall an exactor, tread them down any more, —for, now, have I seen with mine own eyes.
Som en Vagt lejrer jeg mig for mit Hus mod dem, som kommer og gaar; aldrig mer skal en Voldsmand gaa igennem deres Land, thi nu har jeg set det med mine egne Øjne.
9 Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he, —lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young ass.
Fryd dig saare, Zions Datter, raab med Glæde, Jerusalems Datter! Se, din Konge kommer til dig. Retfærdig og sejrrig er han, ydmyg, ridende paa et Æsel, paa en Asenindes Føl.
10 So will he cut off the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the war-bow, shall be cut off, So shall he speak peace to the nations, and, his dominion, shall be from sea to sea, and from the river [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.
Han udrydder Vognene af Efraim, Hestene af Jerusalem, Stridsbuerne ryddes til Side. Hans Ord stifter Fred mellem Folkene, han hersker fra Hav til Hav, fra Floden til Jordens Ende.
11 As for thee also, —By the blood of thy covenant, have I sent forth thy prisoners out of a pit, wherein is no water.
For Pagtblodets Skyld vil jeg ogsaa slippe dine Fanger ud, ja ud af den vandløse Brønd.
12 Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope, —Even to-day, do I declare—Double, will I return to thee!
Hjem til Borgen, I Fanger med Haab! Ogsaa i Dag forkyndes: Jeg giver dig tvefold Bod!
13 For I have bent for me—Judah, As a bow, have I grasped Ephraim, Thus will I rouse up thy sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty one.
Thi jeg spænder mig Juda som Bue, lægger Efraim paa som Pil og vækker dine Sønner, Zion, imod dine Sønner, Javan. Jeg gør dig som Heltens Sværd.
14 But, Yahweh, over them, will appear, and forth shall go, as lightning, his arrow, —Yea, My Lord Yahweh, with a horn, will blow, and will move along in the whirlwinds of the south.
Over dem viser sig HERREN, hans Pil farer ud som et Lyn. Den Herre HERREN støder i Horn, skrider frem i Søndenstorm;
15 Yahweh of hosts, will throw a covering over them, so shall they eat, and trample underfoot sling-stones, and shall drink—shall shout as with wine, —and shall be filled like tossing-bowls, —like the corners of an altar.
dem værner Hærskarers HERRE. De opæder, nedtramper Slyngekasterne, drikker deres Blod som Vin og fyldes som Offerskaalen, som Alterets Hjørner.
16 So will Yahweh their God, save them, on that day. yea, as a flock of sheep, his people, —for [they shall be like] the jewels of a diadem sparkling over his land.
HERREN deres Gud skal paa denne Dag frelse dem som sit Folks Hjord; thi de er Kronesten, der funkler over hans Land.
17 For how excellent it is! Yea how beautiful! Corn, shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
Hvor det er dejligt, hvor skønt! Thi Korn giver blomstrende Ungersvende, Most giver blomstrende Møer.
