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].
Пророческое слово Господа на землю Хадрах, и на Дамаске оно остановится, - ибо око Господа на всех людей, как и на все колена Израилевы, -
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.
и на Емаф, смежный с ним, на Тир и Сидон, ибо он очень умудрился.
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.
И устроил себе Тир крепость, накопил серебра, как пыли, и золота, как уличной грязи.
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.
Вот, Господь сделает его бедным и поразит силу его в море, и сам он будет истреблен огнем.
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.
Увидит это Аскалон - и ужаснется, и Газа - и вострепещет сильно, и Екрон; ибо посрамится надежда его: не станет царя в Газе, и Аскалон будет необитаем.
6 Foreigners will occupy Ashdod [city]. I will cause the [people in all those cities of] Philistia to no longer be proud.
Чужое племя будет жить в Азоте, и Я уничтожу высокомерие Филистимлян.
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].
Исторгну кровь из уст его и мерзости его из зубов его, и он достанется Богу нашему, и будет как тысяченачальник в Иудее, и Екрон будет, как Иевусей.
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.
И Я расположу стан у дома Моего против войска, против проходящих вперед и назад, и не будет более проходить притеснитель, ибо ныне Моими очами Я буду взирать на это.
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.
Ликуй от радости, дщерь Сиона, торжествуй, дщерь Иерусалима: се Царь твой грядет к тебе, праведный и спасающий, кроткий, сидящий на ослице и на молодом осле, сыне подъяремной.
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.
Тогда истреблю колесницы у Ефрема и коней в Иерусалиме, и сокрушен будет бранный лук; и Он возвестит мир народам, и владычество Его будет от моря до моря и от реки до концов земли.
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.
А что до тебя, ради крови завета твоего Я освобожу узников твоих изо рва, в котором нет воды.
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].
Возвращайтесь на твердыню вы, пленники надеющиеся! Что теперь возвещаю, воздам тебе вдвойне.
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.”
Ибо, как лук, Я натяну Себе Иудею и наполню лук Ефремом, и воздвигну сынов твоих, Сион, против сынов твоих, Иония, и сделаю тебя мечом ратоборца.
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.
И явится над ними Господь, и как молния вылетит стрела Его, и возгремит Господь Бог трубою, и шествовать будет в бурях полуденных.
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.
Господь Саваоф будет защищать их, и они будут истреблять и попирать пращные камни, и будут пить и шуметь как бы от вина, и наполнятся как жертвенные чаши, как углы жертвенника.
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.
И спасет их Господь Бог их в тот день, как овец, народ Свой; ибо, подобно камням в венце, они воссияют на земле Его.
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.
О, как велика благость его и какая красота его! Хлеб одушевит язык у юношей и вино - у отроковиц!
