Zechariah 9
1 [This is another] message [that I received] from Yahweh. [Yahweh said, ] “I watch [MTY] everyone, especially the tribes of Israel; [so] I will [punish the people in] the Hadrach [region] and in Damascus [city] [because of what they did to the people of Israel].
Carga da palavra do Senhor contra a terra de Haldrach, e Damasco será o seu repouso; porque o Senhor tem o olho sobre o homem, como sobre todas as tribos de Israel.
2 [I will also punish the people in] nearby Hamath [city]. I will also [punish the people in] Tyre and Sidon [cities], even though they are [considered to be] [IRO] very wise.
E também Hamath nela terá termo: Tiro e Sidon, ainda que seja mui sabia.
3 [The people in] Tyre built a high wall [around their city]. They piled up [huge amounts of] silver and gold as though they were [piles of] dirt in the streets.
E Tiro edificou para si fortalezas, e amontoou prata como o pó, e ouro fino como a lama das ruas.
4 But [I], Yahweh, will cause their precious possessions to be taken away and all their ships to be destroyed, and their city will be destroyed by a fire.
Eis que o Senhor a arrancará da posse, e ferirá no mar a sua força, e ela será consumida pelo fogo.
5 [The people in Ashkelon city] will see that [happen], and they will become very afraid. [The people in] Gaza [city] will shake because of being terrified, and [the people in Ekron city] will shake too, because they will no longer expect [to prosper]. The king of [the city of] Gaza will be killed, and [the city of] Ashkelon will be deserted.
Ascalon o verá e temerá, também Gaza, e terá grande dor; como também Ekron; porque a sua esperança será envergonhada; e o rei de Gaza perecerá, e Ascalon não será habitada
6 Foreigners will occupy Ashdod [city]. I will cause the [people in all those cities of] Philistia to no longer be proud.
E um bastardo habitará em Asdod, e exterminarei a soberba dos philisteus.
7 I will no longer allow them to eat [MTY] meat that still has blood in it, and I will forbid them to eat [MTY] food that I [MTY] have not allowed them to eat [because it was offered to idols]. [At that time, ] the people [in Philistia] who survive will worship me, and they will become [my people, like] the people of Judah are. The Philistine people of Ekron will also become my people like [SIM] the people of Jebus did [when they were conquered].
E da sua boca tirarei o seu sangue, e dentre os seus dentes as suas abominações; e ele também ficará de resto para o nosso Deus; e será como príncipe em Judá, e Ekron como o jebuseu.
8 I will protect my temple, and I will not allow any [enemy soldiers] to enter it. No [enemies] will harm my people again, because I will be watching [over my people] carefully.
E me acamparei ao redor da minha casa, por causa do exército, por causa do que passa, e por causa do que volta, para que não passe mais sobre eles o exator; porque agora já o vi com os meus olhos.
9 Rejoice very much, [you people of] Jerusalem [APO, DOU] and shout joyfully, because your king will be coming to you. He is righteous and victorious; [but he will be] gentle, and [he will be] riding on a donkey, on a young female donkey.
Alegra-te muito, ó filha de Sião; exulta, ó filha de Jerusalém: eis que o teu rei virá a ti, justo e Salvador, pobre, e montado sobre um jumento, sobre um asninho, filho de jumenta.
10 I will get rid of the chariots in the Ephraim [region that are used in battles] and [all] the war horses in Jerusalem. [All] the bows used in wars will be broken. [Your king] will proclaim that he will cause things to go well and peacefully in the nations. He will rule [the area] from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Dead] Sea, and from the [Euphrates] River to the most distant places on the earth.
E destruirei os carros de Ephraim e os cavalos de Jerusalém: também o arco de guerra será destruído, e ele falará paz às nações; e o seu domínio se estenderá de um mar até outro mar, e desde o rio até às extremidades da terra
11 As for you [my people of Jerusalem], because of the blood [of the animals that were sacrificed to make] my agreement with you, I will free your people who were forced to go to other countries where [it was as though they were kept] in a waterless pit.
Quanto a ti também ó Sião, pelo sangue do teu concerto, soltei os teus presos da cova em que não havia água.
12 [You people who were] prisoners [in those countries] who [still] confidently expect [God to help you], return to [Judah], where you will be safe. This day I declare that I will give you two blessings for [each of the troubles that you have experienced].
Voltai à fortaleza ó presos de esperança: também hoje vos anuncío que vos renderei em dobro.
13 I will cause Judah to be like [MET] my bow, and I will cause Israel to be [like] [MET] my arrow. I will enable you young men of Jerusalem to fight against the soldiers of Greece; you will be like [SIM] a warrior’s sword.”
Quando estendi Judá para mim como um arco, e enchi com Ephraim o arco, suscitarei a teus filhos, ó Sião, contra os teus filhos, ó Grécia! e pôr-te-ei como a espada de um valente.
14 [Some day] Yahweh will appear [in the sky] above his people, and the arrows that he shoots will be like [SIM] lightning. Yahweh [our] Lord will blow his trumpet, and he will march [fiercely] like [MET] the storms from the south.
E o Senhor será visto sobre eles, e as suas flechas sairão como o relâmpago; e o Senhor Jehovah tocará buzina, e irá com os redemoinhos do sul
15 The Commander of the armies of angels will protect [his people]; [the soldiers of Judah] will attack and defeat [their enemies who attack them] using slingshots. [Those soldiers of Judah] will drink and celebrate and shout like [SIM] people who are drunk; they will be as full [of wine] as the bowl that holds [the blood of the animals that are sacrificed] and [which is then] sprinkled on the corners of the altar.
O Senhor dos exércitos os amparará, e comerão, depois que os tiverem sujeitado as pedras da funda: também beberão e farão alvoroço como de vinho; e encher-se-ão como a bacia, como os cantos do altar
16 On that day, Yahweh our God will save his people [like a shepherd saves] his flock [of sheep from danger]. In their land, they will be like [SIM] jewels that sparkle on a crown.
E o Senhor seu Deus naquele dia os salvará, como ao rebanho do seu povo; porque como as pedras da coroa serão levantados na sua terra, como bandeira.
17 They will be delightful and beautiful. The young men will become strong from [eating] grain, and the young women will [become strong] from [drinking] new wine.
Porque, quão grande é a sua bondade! e quão grande é a sua formosura! o trigo fará falar os mancebos e o mosto as donzelas.
