Zakarias 12
1 Et Udsagn; HERRENS Ord om Israel. Det lyder fra HERREN, som udspændte Himmelen, grundfæstede Jorden og dannede Menneskets Aand i dets Indre:
This is the burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. Thus declares the LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, who forms the spirit of man within him:
2 Se, jeg gør Jerusalem til et berusende Bæger for alle Folkeslag trindt om; ogsaa Juda skal være med til at belejre Jerusalem.
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples. Judah will be besieged, as well as Jerusalem.
3 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.
On that day, when all the nations of the earth gather against her, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will be severely injured.
4 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.
On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and every rider with madness. I will keep a watchful eye on the house of Judah, but I will strike with blindness all the horses of the nations.
5 Og Judas Stammer skal tænke: »Jerusalems Indbyggere er stærke i Hærskarers HERRE, deres Gud.«
Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts: ‘The people of Jerusalem are my strength, for the LORD of Hosts is their God.’
6 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.
On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among the sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and on the left, while the people of Jerusalem remain secure there.
7 Saa giver HERREN først Judas Telte Sejr, for at Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyggere ikke skal vinde større Ry end Juda.
The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.
8 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.
On that day the LORD will defend the people of Jerusalem, so that the weakest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD going before them.
9 Paa hin Dag vil jeg søge at tilintetgøre alle de Folk, som kommer imod Jerusalem.
So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 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.
Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
11 Paa hin Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem som Sorgen over Hadadrimmon i Megiddos Dal.
On that day the wailing in Jerusalem will be as great as the wailing of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
12 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,
The land will mourn, each clan on its own: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives,
13 Levis Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig, Sjim'iternes Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig,
the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,
14 alle de tiloversblevne Slægter hver for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.
and all the remaining clans and their wives.
