< Zechariah 1 >
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, son of Berechiah, 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 “YHWH was angry against your fathers—wrath!
O Senhor se irou por extremo contra vossos paes.
3 And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Return to Me, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And I return to you, said YHWH of Hosts.
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 You will not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets called, Saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Please turn back from your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they did not listen, Nor attend to Me—a declaration of YHWH.
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 live for all time?
Vossos paes, onde estão? e os prophetas, viverão elles para sempre?
6 Only, My words and My statutes, That I commanded My servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers? And they turn back and say: As YHWH of Hosts designed to do to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He has done to us.”
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 (it [is] the month of Sebat), in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet. [He was] 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 have seen by night, and behold, one riding on a red horse, and he is standing between the myrtles that [are] in the shade, and behind him [are] horses, red, bay, and white.
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 And I say, “What [are] these, my lord?” And the messenger who is speaking with me says to me, “I show you what these [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 one who is standing between the myrtles answers and says, “These [are] they whom YHWH has sent to walk up and down in the land.”
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 they answer the Messenger of YHWH who is standing between the myrtles, and say, “We have walked up and down in the land, and behold, all the land is sitting still, 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 And the Messenger of YHWH answers and says, “YHWH of Hosts! Until when do You not pity Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, that You have abhorred these 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 YHWH answers the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, comfortable words.
E respondeu o Senhor ao anjo, que fallava comigo, palavras boas, palavras consoladoras.
14 And the messenger who is speaking with me, says to me, “Call, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem, And for Zion [with] great zeal.
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 [with] great wrath I am angry against the nations who are at ease, For I was a little angry, and they assisted—for evil.
E com grandissima ira estou irado contra as nações descançadas; porque eu estava pouco irado, mas elles auxiliaram o mal.
16 Therefore, thus said YHWH: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And a line is stretched 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 Again call, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Again My cities overflow from good, And YHWH has again comforted Zion, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.”
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 I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, four horns.
E levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que vi quatro cornos.
19 And I say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “What [are] these?” And he says to me, “These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
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 YHWH shows me four artisans.
E o Senhor me mostrou quatro ferreiros.
21 And I say, “What [are] these coming to do?” And He speaks, saying, “These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no one has lifted up his head, and these come to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah—to scatter it.”
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.
