Zechariah 9
1 The burden of a word of YHWH against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh—his place of rest: (When to YHWH [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel).
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,
2 And also Hamath borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!
også over Hamat, som grænser dertil, Tyrus og Zidon, thi det er såre viist.
3 And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, And heaps silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
Tyrus bygged sig en Fæstning og ophobed Sølv som Støv og Guld som Gadeskarn.
4 Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, And He has struck her force in the sea, And she is consumed with fire.
Se, Herren vil tage det i Eje og styrte dets Bolværk i Havet. det selv skal fortæres af Ild.
5 Ashkelon sees and fears, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron—for her expectation dried up, And a king has perished from Gaza, And Ashkelon does not remain,
Askalon ser det og frygter, Gaza og Ekron skælver voldsomt, thi Håbet brast. Gaza mister sin Konge, i Askalon skal ingen bo,
6 “And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellence of the Philistines.
i Asdod skal Udskud bo, Jeg gør Ende på Filisterens Hovmod,
7 And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he has remained, even he, to our God, And he has been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.
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.
8 And I have pitched a camp for My house, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And an exactor does not pass through against them again, For now, I have seen with My eyes.
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.
9 Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Behold, your King comes to you, Righteous and having salvation, Afflicted—and riding on a donkey, And on a colt—a son of female donkeys.
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.
10 And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Indeed, the bow of battle has been cut off, And He has spoken peace to nations, And His rule [is] from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.
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.
11 Also You—by the blood of Your covenant, I have sent Your prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.
For Pagtblodets Skyld vil jeg også slippe dine Fanger ud, ja ud af den vandløse Brønd.
12 Return to a stronghold, You prisoners of the hope, Even today a second announcer I restore to you.
Hjem til Borgen, I Fanger med Håb! Også i Dag forkyndes: Jeg giver dig tvefold Bod!
13 For I have trodden for Myself with Judah, I have filled a bow [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up your sons, O Zion, Against your sons, O Javan, And I have set you as the sword of a hero.”
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.
14 And YHWH appears for them, And His arrow has gone forth as lightning, And Lord YHWH blows with a horn, And He has gone with whirlwinds of the south.
Over dem viser sig Herren, hans Pil farer ud som et Lyn. Den Herre HERREN støder i Horn, skrider frem i Søndenstorm;
15 YHWH of Hosts covers them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Indeed, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an altar.
dem værner Hærskarers HERRE. De opæder, nedtramper Slyngekasterne, drikker deres Blod som Vin og fyldes som Offerskålen, som Alterets Hjørner.
16 And their God YHWH has saved them in that day, As a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.
HERREN deres Gud skal på denne Dag frelse dem som sit Folks Hjord; thi de er Kronesten, der funkler over hans Land.
17 For what His goodness! And what His beauty! Grain the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!
Hvor det er dejligt, hvor skønt! Thi Korn giver blomstrende Ungersvende, Most giver blomstrende Møer.
