Zakarias 9
1 Et Udsagn: HERRENs Ord er over Hadraks Land, i Damaskus slår det sig ned - thi Aram forbrød sig mod HERREN - det er over alle, som hader Israel,
The oracle of the word of Yahweh on the land of Hadrach, and, Damascus, shall be the resting-place thereof, —For, Yahweh, hath an eye—to mankind, and to all the tribes of Israel;
2 også over Hamat, som grænser dertil, Tyrus og Zidon, thi det er såre viist.
Moreover also, Hamath, adjoineth thereto, Tyre and Zidon, —because very wise;
3 Tyrus bygged sig en Fæstning og ophobed Sølv som Støv og Guld som Gadeskarn.
Therefore did Tyre build a stronghold for herself, —and did heap up silver like dust, yea gold, like the mire of the lanes.
4 Se, Herren vil tage det i Eje og styrte dets Bolværk i Havet. det selv skal fortæres af Ild.
Lo! My Lord, shall dispossess her, and smite, into the sea, her fortress, —and, she herself, in fire, shall be consumed.
5 Askalon ser det og frygter, Gaza og Ekron skælver voldsomt, thi Håbet brast. Gaza mister sin Konge, i Askalon skal ingen bo,
Ashkelon, shall see, and fear, Gaza, also, which shall writhe in great anguish, Ekron, also, because abashed is her expectation, —and the king, shall perish, from Gaza, and, Ashkelon, not be inhabited;
6 i Asdod skal Udskud bo, Jeg gør Ende på Filisterens Hovmod,
And there shall be seated a half-breed in Ashdod, —So will I cut off the arrogance of the Philistines;
7 tager Blodet ud af hans Mund og Væmmelsen bort fra hans Tænder. Også han bliver reddet for vor Gud, han bliver som en Slægt i Juda, Ekron som, en, Jebusit.
And will take away his reeking prey out of his mouth, and his abominations, from between his teeth, but, he that is left, even he, shall belong to our God, —So shall he become as a chief in Judah, and, Ekron, as a Jebusite!
8 Som en Vagt lejrer jeg mig formit Hus mod dem, som kommer og går; aldrig mer skal en Voldsmand gå igennem deres Land, thi nu har jeg set det med mine egne Øjne.
Then will I encamp about my house—against an army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, neither shall an exactor, tread them down any more, —for, now, have I seen with mine own eyes.
9 Fryd dig såre, Zions Datter, råb med Glæde, Jerusalems Datter! Se, din Konge kommer til dig. Retfærdig og sejrrig er han, ydmyg, ridende på et Æsel, på en Asenindes Føl.
Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he, —lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young ass.
10 Han udrydder Vognene af Efraim, Hestene af Jerusalem, Stridsbuerne ryddes til Side. Hans Ord stifter Fred mellem Folkene, han hersker fra Hav til Hav, fra Floden til Jordens Ende.
So will he cut off the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the war-bow, shall be cut off, So shall he speak peace to the nations, and, his dominion, shall be from sea to sea, and from the river [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.
11 For Pagtblodets Skyld vil jeg også slippe dine Fanger ud, ja ud af den vandløse Brønd.
As for thee also, —By the blood of thy covenant, have I sent forth thy prisoners out of a pit, wherein is no water.
12 Hjem til Borgen, I Fanger med Håb! Også i Dag forkyndes: Jeg giver dig tvefold Bod!
Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope, —Even to-day, do I declare—Double, will I return to thee!
13 Thi jeg spænder mig Juda som Bue, lægger Efraim på som Pil og vækker dine Sønner, Zion, imod dine Sønner, Javan. Jeg gør dig som Heltens Sværd.
For I have bent for me—Judah, As a bow, have I grasped Ephraim, Thus will I rouse up thy sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty one.
14 Over dem viser sig Herren, hans Pil farer ud som et Lyn. Den Herre HERREN støder i Horn, skrider frem i Søndenstorm;
But, Yahweh, over them, will appear, and forth shall go, as lightning, his arrow, —Yea, My Lord Yahweh, with a horn, will blow, and will move along in the whirlwinds of the south.
15 dem værner Hærskarers HERRE. De opæder, nedtramper Slyngekasterne, drikker deres Blod som Vin og fyldes som Offerskålen, som Alterets Hjørner.
Yahweh of hosts, will throw a covering over them, so shall they eat, and trample underfoot sling-stones, and shall drink—shall shout as with wine, —and shall be filled like tossing-bowls, —like the corners of an altar.
16 HERREN deres Gud skal på denne Dag frelse dem som sit Folks Hjord; thi de er Kronesten, der funkler over hans Land.
So will Yahweh their God, save them, on that day. yea, as a flock of sheep, his people, —for [they shall be like] the jewels of a diadem sparkling over his land.
17 Hvor det er dejligt, hvor skønt! Thi Korn giver blomstrende Ungersvende, Most giver blomstrende Møer.
For how excellent it is! Yea how beautiful! Corn, shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
