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).
Onus verbi Domini in terra Hadrach, et Damasci requiei eius: quia Domini est oculus hominis, et omnium tribuum Israel.
2 And also Hamath borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!
Emath quoque in terminis eius, et Tyrus, et Sidon: assumpserunt quippe sibi sapientiam valde.
3 And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, And heaps silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
Et aedificavit Tyrus munitionem suam, et coacervavit argentum quasi humum, et aurum ut lutum platearum.
4 Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, And He has struck her force in the sea, And she is consumed with fire.
Ecce Dominus possidebit eam, et percutiet in mari fortitudinem eius, et haec igne devorabitur.
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,
Videbit Ascalon, et timebit: et Gaza, et dolebit nimis: et Accaron, quoniam confusa est spes eius: et peribit rex de Gaza, et Ascalon non habitabitur.
6 “And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellence of the Philistines.
Et sedebit separator in Azoto, et disperdam superbiam Philisthinorum.
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.
Et auferam sanguinem eius de ore eius, et abominationes eius de medio dentium eius, et relinquetur etiam ipse Deo nostro, et erit quasi dux in Iuda, et Accaron quasi Iebusaeus.
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.
Et circumdabo domum meam ex his, qui militant mihi euntes et revertentes, et non transibit super eos ultra exactor: quia nunc vidi in oculis meis.
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.
Exulta satis filia Sion, iubila filia Ierusalem: ECCE REX TUUS veniet tibi iustus, et salvator: ipse pauper, et ascendens super asinam, et super pullum filium asinae.
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.
Et disperdam quadrigam ex Ephraim, et equum de Ierusalem, et dissipabitur arcus belli: et loquetur pacem Gentibus, et potestas eius a mari usque ad mare, et a fluminibus usque ad fines terrae.
11 Also You—by the blood of Your covenant, I have sent Your prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.
Tu quoque in sanguine testamenti tui emisisti vinctos tuos de lacu, in quo non est aqua.
12 Return to a stronghold, You prisoners of the hope, Even today a second announcer I restore to you.
Convertimini ad munitionem vincti spei, hodie quoque annuncians duplicia reddam tibi.
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.”
Quoniam extendi mihi Iuda quasi arcum, implevi Ephraim: et suscitabo filios tuos Sion super filios tuos Graecia: et ponam te quasi gladium fortium.
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.
Et Dominus Deus super eos videbitur, et exibit ut fulgur, iaculum eius: et Dominus Deus in tuba canet, et vadet in turbine Austri.
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.
Dominus exercituum proteget eos: et devorabunt, et subiicient lapidibus fundae: et bibentes inebriabuntur quasi a vino, et replebuntur ut phialae, et quasi cornua altaris.
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.
Et salvabit eos Dominus Deus eorum in die illa, ut gregem populi sui: quia lapides sancti elevabuntur super terram eius.
17 For what His goodness! And what His beauty! Grain the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!
Quid enim bonum eius est, et quid pulchrum eius, nisi frumentum electorum, et vinum germinans virgines?
