Zechariah 12
1 The burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel. Thus says Jehovah, who stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him:
Et Udsagn; HERRENS Ord om Israel. Det lyder fra HERREN, som udspændte Himmelen, grundfæstede Jorden og dannede Menneskets Aand i dets Indre:
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also it shall be in the siege against Jerusalem.
Se, jeg gør Jerusalem til et berusende Bæger for alle Folkeslag trindt om; ogsaa Juda skal være med til at belejre Jerusalem.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it shall be severely wounded. And all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.
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.
4 In that day, says Jehovah, I will smite every horse with terror, and his rider with madness. And I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness.
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.
5 And the chieftains of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Jehovah of hosts their God.
Og Judas Stammer skal tænke: »Jerusalems Indbyggere er stærke i Hærskarers HERRE, deres Gud.«
6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. And they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left, and Jerusalem shall yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
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.
7 Jehovah also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
Saa giver HERREN først Judas Telte Sejr, for at Davids Hus og Jerusalems Indbyggere ikke skal vinde større Ry end Juda.
8 In that day Jehovah shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And he who is feeble among them at that day shall be as David, and the house of David shall be as God, as the agent of Jehovah before them.
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.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Paa hin Dag vil jeg søge at tilintetgøre alle de Folk, som kommer imod Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication. And they shall look to me whom they have pierced. And they shall mourn for him, as a man mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as a man who is in bitterness for his firstborn.
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.
11 In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Paa hin Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem som Sorgen over Hadadrimmon i Megiddos Dal.
12 And the land shall mourn, every 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,
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,
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart, the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart,
Levis Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig, Sjim'iternes Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig,
14 all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
alle de tiloversblevne Slægter hver for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.
