Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto 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 Yahweh, was sore displeased, with your fathers:
O Senhor se irou por extremo contra vossos paes.
3 therefore shalt thou say unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Return ye unto me, urgeth Yahweh of hosts, —that I may return unto you, saith Yahweh 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 Do not become like your fathers, unto whom the former prophets, proclaimed, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Return, I pray you, from your wicked ways, and from your wicked practices; but they heard not, nor hearkened unto me, declareth Yahweh.
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, to times age-abiding, do they live?
Vossos paes, onde estão? e os prophetas, viverão elles para sempre?
6 Howbeit, as for my words and my statutes with which I charged my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and so they returned and said, Just as Yahweh of hosts planned to do unto us, according to our ways and according to our practices, So hath he dealt with 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 Upon the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the same, is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, as followeth:
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 looked by night, And lo! a man riding upon a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees, in the shade; and, after him, were 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 Then said I, What are these, my lord? And the messenger who was speaking with me, said unto me, I, will shew thee 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 So the man who was standing among the myrtle-trees responded, and said, —These, are they whom Yahweh, hath sent, to go to and fro 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 Then responded they to the messenger of Yahweh, who was standing among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have gone to and fro through the earth, —and lo! all the earth, resteth and is quiet.
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 messenger of Yahweh responded, and said, O Yahweh of hosts! How long wilt, thou, not have compassion upon Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, —against which thou hast had indignation 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 Yahweh answered the messenger who was speaking with me, in words that were pleasant, —words that were consoling,
E respondeu o Senhor ao anjo, que fallava comigo, palavras boas, palavras consoladoras.
14 Then the messenger who was speaking with me, said unto me, Proclaim thou, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I am jealous for Jerusalem, and for Zion, with a great jealousy;
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 a great displeasure, am I displeased with the careless nations, —in that, when, I, was displeased (for) a little, then, they, helped forward the calamity,
E com grandissima ira estou irado contra as nações descançadas; porque eu estava pouco irado, mas elles auxiliaram o mal.
16 Wherefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, I have returned to Jerusalem, with compassions, My house, shall be built therein, declareth Yahweh of hosts, and, a line, shall be stretched forth 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 Further, proclaim thou, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet, shall my cities overflow with blessing! So will Yahweh yet, have compassion, upon Zion, and yet make choice of 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 Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, —and lo! Four Horns.
E levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que vi quatro cornos.
19 And I said unto the messenger who was speaking with me, What are these? And he said unto me, These, are the horns which 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 Then Yahweh shewed me Four Craftsmen.
E o Senhor me mostrou quatro ferreiros.
21 And I said, What are these coming in to do? And he spake, saying, These, are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head, but these [others] have come in to put them in fear, to cast down the horns of the nations, the which have lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter her.
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.
