Zakarias 12
1 Et Udsagn; HERRENs Ord om Israel. Det lyder fra HERREN; som udspændte Himmelen, grundfæstede Jorden og dannede Menneskets Ånd i dets Indre:
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 et berusende Bæger for alle Folkeslag trindt om; også Juda skal være med til at belejre 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 På hin Dag gør jeg Jerusalem til Løftesten for alle Folkeslag - enhver, som løfter den, skal rive sig på den! Og alle Jordens Folk skal samle sig imod det.
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 På hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, slår jeg alle Heste med Angst og Rytterne med Vanvid; Judas Hus åbner jeg Øjnene på, men alle Folkeslagene slår jeg 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 Og Judas Stammer skal tænke: "Jerusalems Indbyggere er stærke i Hærskarers HERRE, 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 På 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 på 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 Så giver HERREN først Judas Telte Sejr, for at Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyggere ikke skal vinde større Ry end 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 På hin Dag værner HERREN om Jerusalems Indbyggere, og den skrøbeligste iblandt dem skal på hin Dag blive som David, men Davids Hus som Gud, som HERRENs Engel foran dem.
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 På hin Dag vil jeg søge at tilintetgøre alle de Folk, som kommer 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 så udgyder jeg over Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyg- gere Nådens og Bønnens Ånd, så de ser hen til ham, de har gennemstunget, og sørger over ham, som man sørger over en enbåren Søn, og holder Klage over ham, son1 man holder Klage 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 På hin Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem som Sorgen over Hadadrimmon i Megiddos Dal.
On that day will the lamentation be great in Jerusalem, like the lamentation at Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
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,
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, Sjim'iternes 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 tiloversblevne Slægter hver for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.
All the families that remain, every family apart by itself, and their wives apart.
