Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
No oitavo mez do segundo anno de Dario veiu a palavra do Senhor ao propheta Zacharias, filho de Barachias, filho de Iddo, dizendo:
2 The Lord has been very angry with your fathers:
O Senhor se irou por extremo contra vossos paes.
3 And you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord of armies: Come back to me, says the Lord of armies, and I will come back to you.
Portanto dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Tornae para mim, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, e eu tornarei para vós, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos.
4 Be not like your fathers, to whom the voice of the earlier prophets came, saying, Be turned now from your evil ways and from your evil doings: but they did not give ear to me or take note, says the Lord.
E não sejaes como vossos paes, aos quaes gritavam os primeiros prophetas, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Convertei-vos agora dos vossos maus caminhos e das vossas más obras; porém não ouviam, nem me escutavam, diz o Senhor.
5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they go on living for ever?
Vossos paes, onde estão? e os prophetas, viverão elles para sempre?
6 But my words and my orders, which I gave to my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? and turning back they said, As it was the purpose of the Lord of armies to do to us, in reward for our ways and our doings, so has he done.
Comtudo as minhas palavras e os meus estatutos, que eu mandei aos prophetas, meus servos, não alcançaram a vossos paes? E elles tornaram, e disseram: Assim como o Senhor dos Exercitos fez tenção de nos tratar, segundo os nossos caminhos, e segundo as nossas obras, assim elle nos tratou.
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Aos vinte e quatro dias do mez undecimo (que é o mez de Sebat), no segundo anno de Dario, veiu a palavra do Senhor ao propheta Zacharias, filho de Barachias, filho de Iddo, dizendo:
8 I saw in the night a man on a red horse, between the mountains in the valley, and at his back were horses, red, black, white, and of mixed colours.
Vi de noite, e eis um homem montado n'um cavallo vermelho, e parava entre as murtas que estavam na profundeza, e atraz d'elle estavam cavallos vermelhos, morenos e brancos.
9 Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who was talking to me said to me, I will make clear to you what they are.
E eu disse: Senhor meu, quem são estes? E disse-me o anjo que fallava comigo: Eu te mostrarei quem estes são.
10 And the man who was between the mountains, answering me, said, These are those whom the Lord has sent to go up and down through the earth.
Então respondeu o homem que estava entre as murtas, e disse: Estes são os que o Senhor tem enviado para andarem pela terra.
11 And the man who was between the mountains, answering, said to the angel of the Lord, We have gone up and down through the earth, and all the earth is quiet and at rest.
E elles responderam ao anjo do Senhor, que estava entre as murtas, e disseram: Nós já andámos pela terra, e eis que toda a terra está assentada e quieta.
12 Then the angel of the Lord, answering, said, O Lord of armies, how long will it be before you have mercy on Jerusalem and on the towns of Judah against which your wrath has been burning for seventy years?
Então o anjo do Senhor respondeu, e disse: Ó Senhor dos Exercitos, até quando não terás compaixão de Jerusalem, e das cidades de Judah, contra as quaes estiveste irado estes setenta annos
13 And the Lord gave an answer in good and comforting words to the angel who was talking to me.
E respondeu o Senhor ao anjo, que fallava comigo, palavras boas, palavras consoladoras.
14 And the angel who was talking to me said to me, Let your voice be loud and say, These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am greatly moved about the fate of Jerusalem and of Zion.
E o anjo que fallava comigo me disse: Clama, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Com grande zelo estou zelando por Jerusalem e por Sião.
15 And I am very angry with the nations who are living untroubled: for when I was only a little angry, they made the evil worse.
E com grandissima ira estou irado contra as nações descançadas; porque eu estava pouco irado, mas elles auxiliaram o mal.
16 So this is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Jerusalem with mercies; my house is to be put up in her, says the Lord of armies, and a line is to be stretched out over Jerusalem.
Portanto, o Senhor diz assim: Tornei-me a Jerusalem com misericordia, a minha casa n'ella será edificada, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, e o cordel será estendido sobre Jerusalem.
17 And again let your voice be loud and say, This is what the Lord of armies has said: My towns will again be overflowing with good things, and again the Lord will give comfort to Zion and take Jerusalem for himself.
Clama mais, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: As minhas cidades ainda serão estendidas por causa do bem; porque o Senhor ainda consolará a Sião e ainda escolherá a Jerusalem.
18 And lifting up my eyes I saw four horns.
E levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que vi quatro cornos.
19 And I said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have sent Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem in flight.
E eu disse ao anjo que fallava comigo: Que são estes? E elle me disse: Estes são os poderes que espalharam a Judah, a Israel e a Jerusalem.
20 And the Lord gave me a vision of four metal-workers.
E o Senhor me mostrou quatro ferreiros.
21 Then I said, What have these come to do? And he said, These are the horns which sent Judah in flight, and kept him from lifting up his head: but these men have come to send fear on them and to put down the nations who are lifting up their horns against the land of Judah to send it in flight.
Então eu disse: Que veem estes fazer? E elle fallou, dizendo: Estes são os poderes que espalharam a Jerusalem, de maneira que ninguem levantasse a sua cabeça; estes pois vieram para lhes metter medo, para derribarem os poderes das nações que levantaram o seu poder contra a terra de Judah, para a espalharem.
