< Zakarias 12 >
1 Herrens Ords Profeti over Israel. Et Udsagn af Herren, som udbreder Himmelen og grundfæster Jorden og danner Menneskets Aand inden i ham:
The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. Thus saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundations of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man in him:
2 Se, jeg gør Jerusalem til en Beruselsesskaal for alle Folkeslag trindt omkring; og det skal ogsaa komme over Juda under Belejringen af Jerusalem.
Behold I will make Jerusalem a lintel of surfeiting to all the people round about: and Juda also shall be in the siege against Jerusalem.
3 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at jeg vil gøre Jerusalem til en Sten at løfte paa for alle Folkefærd, alle, som ville løfte paa den, skulle visselig rive sig; og alle Hedningefolk paa Jorden skulle samle sig imod den.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all people: all that shall lift it up shall be rent and torn, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall be gathered together against her.
4 Paa den Dag, siger Herren, vil jeg slaa alle Heste med Skyhed, og den, som rider paa dem, med Vanvid; og jeg vil oplade mine Øjne over Judas Hus og slaa alle Folkenes Heste med Blindhed.
In that day, saith the Lord, I will strike every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Juda, and will strike every horse of the nations with blindness.
5 Da skulle Fyrsterne i Juda sige i deres Hjerte: Jerusalems Indbyggere ere mig til Styrke i den Herre Zebaoth, deres Gud.
And the governors of Juda shall say in their heart: Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me in the Lord of hosts, their God.
6 Paa den Dag vil jeg gøre Judas Fyrster som en Ildgryde iblandt Træ og som et brændende Blus iblandt Neg, og de skulle fortære til højre og til venstre alle Folkene trindt omkring, og Jerusalem skal blive fremdeles paa sit Sted i Jerusalem.
In that day I will make the governors of Juda like a furnace of fire amongst wood, and as a firebrand amongst hay: and they shall devour all the people round about, to the right hand, and to the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place in Jerusalem.
7 Og Herren skal frelse Judas Telte først, for at Davids Hus's Herlighed og Jerusalems Indbyggeres Herlighed ikke skal ophøje sig over Juda.
And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda, as in the beginning: that the house of David, and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not boast and magnify themselves against Juda.
8 Paa den Dag skal Herren beskærme Indbyggerne i Jerusalem, og det skal ske, at den, som er skrøbelig iblandt dem, skal være paa den Dag som David og Davids Hus som Guder som Herrens Engel foran deres Ansigt.
In that day shall the Lord protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that hath offended among them in that day shall be as David: and the house of David, as that of God, as an angel of the Lord in their sight.
9 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at jeg vil søge at ødelægge alle de Hedningefolk, som komme imod Jerusalem.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 Og jeg vil udgyde over Davids Hus og over Jerusalems Indbyggere Naadens og Bønnens Aand, og de skulle se til mig, som de have gennemstunget; og de skulle sørge over ham med en Sorg som over den eneste og klage bitterligt over ham, som man klager bitterligt over den førstefødte.
And I will pour out upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace, and of prayers: and they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for an only son, and they shall grieve over him, as the manner is to grieve for the death of the firstborn.
11 Paa den Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem, sopi Sorgen fra Hadad-Rimmon, i Megiddons Dal.
In that day there shall be a great lamentation in Jerusalem like the lamentation of Adadremmon in the plain of Mageddon.
12 Og Landet skal sørge, hver Slægt for sig; Davids Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig; Nathans Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig;
And the land shall mourn: families and families apart: the families of the house of David apart, and their women apart:
13 Levis Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig; Simeis Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig;
The families of the house of Nathan apart, and their women apart: the families of the house of Levi apart, and their women apart: the families of Semei apart, and their women apart.
14 alle de øvrige Slægter, hver Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.
All the rest of the families, families and families apart, and their women apart.
