< 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 oracle of the word of Yahweh, on Israel, —Declareth Yahweh—Stretching out the heavens, and founding the earth, and fashioning 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.
Lo! I am making Jerusalem a bowl of reeling to all the peoples, round about, —Moreover also, on Judah, shall it 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 lifting-stone, to all the peoples, all who seek to lift her, shall, cut themselves in pieces, —though all the nations of the earth, gather themselves 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, Declareth Yahweh, I will smite every horse with terror, and his rider with madness, —and, over the house of Judah, will I keep opening mine eyes, and, every horse of the peoples, will I smite with blindness.
5 Da skulle Fyrsterne i Juda sige i deres Hjerte: Jerusalems Indbyggere ere mig til Styrke i den Herre Zebaoth, deres Gud.
Then will the chiefs of Judah say in their hearts, —A strength unto me, [would be] the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in Yahweh 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, will I make the chiefs of Judah like a pan of fire among sticks, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf, so shall they devour, on the right hand and on the left, all the peoples round about; so shall Jerusalem yet, be inhabited, in her own place, as 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.
But Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, —lest the honour of the house of David, and the honour of the inhabitant of Jerusalem, should be magnified 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.
In that day, will Yahweh, throw a covering, around the inhabitant of Jerusalem, so shall the tottering among them, in that day, become like David, —and the house of David—like God, like the messenger of Yahweh, 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, 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.
But I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem, the spirit of favour, and of supplications, and they will look unto me, whom they have pierced, —and will wail over him, as one waileth over an only son, and will make bitter outcry over him, as one maketh bitter outcry over a firstborn.
11 Paa den Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem, sopi Sorgen fra Hadad-Rimmon, i Megiddons Dal.
In that day, will the wailing, be great, in Jerusalem, as the wailing of 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;
So shall the land, wail, family by 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;
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 Shimei, apart, —and their wives apart:
14 alle de øvrige Slægter, hver Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.
All the families that remain, family by family, apart, —and their wives, apart.
