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 prophecy of the word of the Lord concerning Israel, Saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within 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 cup of confusion unto all the people round about; and also against Judah, who will have to be at 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 on that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the people; all that burden themselves with it shall be severely cut: yet then will be gathered together against it all the nations of the earth.
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.
On that day, saith the Lord, will I smite every horse with dizziness, and his rider with madness; but over the house of Judah will I open my eyes, while I will smite every horse of the people 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 chiefs of Judah will say in their heart, A strong support for me are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through 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.
On that day will I make the chiefs of Judah like a fire-hearth among the wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the people round about; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even 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.
The Lord also will save the tents of Judah first: in order that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become boastful over Judah.
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.
On that day will the Lord be a shield around the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and the feeblest among them shall be on that day like David; and the house of David shall be like divine beings, like an angel of the Lord before them.
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 on that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that are 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.
But I will pour out over the house of David, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they will look up toward me [for every one] whom they have thrust through, and they will lament for him, as one lamenteth for an only son, and weep bitterly for him, as one weepeth bitterly for the first-born.
11 Paa den Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem, sopi Sorgen fra Hadad-Rimmon, i Megiddons Dal.
On that day will the lamentation be great in Jerusalem, like the lamentation at Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
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 will mourn, every family apart by itself: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 Levis Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig; Simeis Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig;
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shim'i apart, and their wives apart;
14 alle de øvrige Slægter, hver Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.
All the families that remain, every family apart by itself, and their wives apart.
