Zechariah 7
1 And it was in year four of Darius the king it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah on [day] four of the month ninth in Kislev.
Og det skete i Kong Darius's fjerde Aar, at Herrens Ord kom til Sakarias paa den fjerde Dag i den niende Maaned, det er i Kislev.
2 And it had sent Beth-el Shar-ezer and Regem-Melech and men his to entreat [the] face of Yahweh.
Og Bethel sendte Sarezer og Regem-Melek og hans Mænd for at bede ydmygelig for Herrens Ansigt,
3 To say to the priests who [belonged] to [the] house of Yahweh of hosts and to the prophets saying ¿ will I weep in the month fifth will I consecrate myself? just as I have done this how many? years.
idet de skulde sige til Præsterne, som vare ved den Herre Zebaoths Hus, og til Profeterne saaledes: Mon jeg skal græde i den femte Maaned under Afholdenhed, som jeg har gjort nu saa mange Aar?
4 And it came [the] word of Yahweh of hosts to me saying.
Da kom den Herre Zebaoths Ord til mig saalunde:
5 Say to all [the] people of the land and to the priests saying that you fasted and you mourned in the fifth [month] and in the seventh [month] and this seventy year[s] ¿ really did you fast for me me.
Sig til alt Folket i Landet og til Præsterne: Naar I have fastet og sørget i den femte og i den syvende Maaned, og dette nu i halvfjerdsindstyve Aar, mon I da virkelig have fastet for mig?
6 And if you eat and if you drink ¿ not [are] you the [ones who] eat and [are] you? the [ones who] drink.
Og naar I æde, og naar I drikke, er det da ikke eder, som æde, og eder, som drikke?
7 ¿ Not [are] the words which he proclaimed Yahweh by [the] hand of the prophets former when was Jerusalem remaining and at ease and cities its around it and the Negev and the Shephelah [was] remaining.
Mindes I ikke de Ord, som Herren forkyndte ved de første Profeter, der Jerusalem var beboet og var rolig, og dens Stæder trindt omkring den og Sydlandet og Lavlandet vare beboede?
8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah saying.
Og Herrens Ord kom til Sakarias saaledes:
9 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts saying justice of faithfulness judge and loyalty and compassion do each with brother his.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Dømmer Sandheds Dom, og gører Miskundhed og Barmhjertighed, hver imod sin Broder,
10 And [the] widow and [the] fatherless [the] sojourner and [the] poor may not you oppress and [the] harm of each brother his may not you plan in heart your.
og undertrykker ikke Enken eller den faderløse, den fremmede eller den elendige; og optænker ikke ondt imod en Broder i eders Hjerte!
11 And they refused to pay attention and they gave a shoulder stubborn and ears their they made heavy from hearing.
Men de vægrede sig ved at give Agt derpaa og vendte modvilligt Ryg, og de gjorde deres Øren tunghørende for ikke at høre.
12 And heart their they made flint from hearing the law and the words which he had sent Yahweh of hosts by spirit his by [the] hand of the prophets former and it was wrath great from with Yahweh of hosts.
Og de gjorde deres Hjerte som Demant for ikke at høre Loven og Ordene, hvilke den Herre Zebaoth sendte ved sin Aand igennem de første Profeter, og der kom en stor Vrede fra den Herre Zebaoth.
13 And it was just as he called and not they listened so they called and not I listened he says Yahweh of hosts.
Og det skete, ligesom han raabte, og de hørte ikke: Saaledes skulle de raabe, og jeg vil ikke høre, sagde den Herre Zebaoth;
14 And I will storm away them to all the nations which not they have known them and the land it was desolate behind them from [one who] passes by and from [one who] returns and they made a land of desire into a waste.
men jeg vil bortdrive dem som ved en Storm iblandt alle de Hedningefolk, som de ikke have kendt, og Landet skal være ødelagt efter dem, saa at ingen gaar igennem det frem eller tilbage. Og de gjorde det herlige Land til en Ørk.
