Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
No oitavo mês do segundo ano de Dario, a palavra do SENHOR veio ao profeta Zacarias, filho de Berequias, filho de Ido, dizendo:
2 The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.
O SENHOR se irou muito contra vossos pais.
3 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.
Portanto dize-lhes: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Voltai-vos a mim, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, e eu me voltarei a vós, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos.
4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked thoughts. But they did not heed, and neither did they pay attention to me, says the Lord.
E não sejais como vossos pais, aos quais os profetas antigos clamavam, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Convertei-vos de vossos maus caminhos e de vossos maus atos; porém não escutaram, nem me deram ouvidos, diz o SENHOR.
5 Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?
Onde estão vossos pais? E os profetas, vivem eles para sempre?
6 Yet truly my words and my lawfulness, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, were indeed comprehended by your fathers, and so they were converted, and they said: Just as the Lord of hosts decided to do to us, according to our ways and according to our inventions, so has he done to us.
Porém quanto às minhas palavras e meus estatutos que havia mandado a meus servos os profetas, não alcançaram a vossos pais? Assim eles, arrependendo-se, diziam: Tal como o SENHOR dos exércitos planejou fazer segundo nossos caminhos e nossos antos, assim ele fez conosco.
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is called Shevat, 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 vigésimo quarto dia do décimo primeiro mês (que é o mês de Sebate), no ano segundo de Dario, a palavra do SENHOR veio ao profeta Zacarias, filho de Berequias, filho de Ido, dizendo:
8 I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.
Vi de noite, e eis um homem montado sobre um cavalo vermelho, parado entre as murtas que estavam num vale profundo; e atrás dele estavam cavalos vermelhos, castanhos, e brancos.
9 And I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me, “I will reveal to you what these are.”
E eu disse: Meu senhor, o que são estes? E o anjo que falava comigo me disse: Eu te mostrarei o que estes são.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth.”
Então o homem que estava entre os murtas respondeu, dizendo: Estes são os que o SENHOR enviou para andarem pela terra.
11 And those who stood among the myrtle trees answered the angel of the Lord, and they said, “We have walked through the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited and is at rest.”
E eles responderam ao anjo do SENHOR que estava entre os murtas, e disseram: Nós já andamos pela terra, e eis que toda a terra está tranquila e quieta.
12 And the angel of the Lord answered and said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry? This is now the seventieth year.”
Então o anjo do SENHOR disse: Ó SENHOR dos exércitos, até quando não terás compaixão de Jerusalém e das cidades de Judá, contra as quais ficaste irado estes setenta anos?
13 And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.
E o SENHOR respondeu ao anjo que falava comigo palavras boas, palavras de consolo.
14 And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me: Cry out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great zeal.
E o anjo que falava comigo me disse: Fala em voz alta, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Tenho grande zelo por Jerusalém e por Sião;
15 And, with a great anger, I am angry with the wealthy nations. Though I had been angry a little, truly they advanced further in evil.
E tenho muito grande ira contra as nações tranquilas; porque eu estava pouco irado, porém elas pioraram o mal.
16 Because of this, thus says the Lord: I will be turned back, towards Jerusalem, with mercies; and my house will be built upon this, says the Lord of hosts. And the building line will be extended over Jerusalem.
Portanto assim diz o SENHOR: Eu me voltarei a Jerusalém com misericórdia; minha casa será reconstruída nela, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, e a corda de medir será estendida sobre Jerusalém.
17 Until then, cry out saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Until then, my cities will flow with good things, and, until then, the Lord will comfort Zion, and, until then, he will single out Jerusalem.
Fala em voz alta mais, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Minhas cidades novamente transbordarão de prosperidade; porque o SENHOR novamente consolará a Sião, e novamente escolherá a Jerusalém.
18 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw. And behold: four horns.
Depois levantei meus olhos, e olhei, e eis que havia quatro chifres.
19 And I said to the angel, who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah and Israel and Jerusalem.”
E perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: O que são estes? E ele me disse: Estes são os chifres que dissiparam Judá, a Israel, e Jerusalém.
20 And the Lord showed me four workmen.
E o SENHOR me mostrou quatro ferreiros.
21 And I said, “What have these come to do?” He spoke, saying, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah, through every single man, and none of them lifted up his head. And these have come to frighten them away, so as to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which have lifted up a horn over the land of Judah, so as to scatter it.”
Então eu disse: O que estes vêm a fazer? E ele falou, dizendo: Estes são os chifres que dispersaram Judá, de modo que ninguém levantava sua cabeça. Estes [ferreiros] vieram para derrubar os chifres das nações, que levantaram [seus] chifres contra a terra de Judá para dispersá-la.
