Zechariah 12
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Herrens Ords Profeti over Israel. Et Udsagn af Herren, som udbreder Himmelen og grundfæster Jorden og danner Menneskets Aand inden i ham:
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the people around, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.
Se, jeg gør Jerusalem til en Beruselsesskaal for alle Folkeslag trindt omkring; og det skal ogsaa komme over Juda under Belejringen af Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be assembled against it.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at jeg vil gøre Jerusalem til en Sten at løfte paa for alle Folkefærd, alle, som ville løfte paa den, skulle visselig rive sig; og alle Hedningefolk paa Jorden skulle samle sig imod den.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
Paa den Dag, siger Herren, vil jeg slaa alle Heste med Skyhed, og den, som rider paa dem, med Vanvid; og jeg vil oplade mine Øjne over Judas Hus og slaa alle Folkenes Heste med Blindhed.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
Da skulle Fyrsterne i Juda sige i deres Hjerte: Jerusalems Indbyggere ere mig til Styrke i den Herre Zebaoth, deres Gud.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people around, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem.
Paa den Dag vil jeg gøre Judas Fyrster som en Ildgryde iblandt Træ og som et brændende Blus iblandt Neg, og de skulle fortære til højre og til venstre alle Folkene trindt omkring, og Jerusalem skal blive fremdeles paa sit Sted i Jerusalem.
7 The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not magnify [themselves] against Judah.
Og Herren skal frelse Judas Telte først, for at Davids Hus's Herlighed og Jerusalems Indbyggeres Herlighed ikke skal ophøje sig over Juda.
8 In that day will the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
Paa den Dag skal Herren beskærme Indbyggerne i Jerusalem, og det skal ske, at den, som er skrøbelig iblandt dem, skal være paa den Dag som David og Davids Hus som Guder som Herrens Engel foran deres Ansigt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at jeg vil søge at ødelægge alle de Hedningefolk, som komme imod Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] first-born.
Og jeg vil udgyde over Davids Hus og over Jerusalems Indbyggere Naadens og Bønnens Aand, og de skulle se til mig, som de have gennemstunget; og de skulle sørge over ham med en Sorg som over den eneste og klage bitterligt over ham, som man klager bitterligt over den førstefødte.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Paa den Dag skal Sorgen blive stor i Jerusalem, sopi Sorgen fra Hadad-Rimmon, i Megiddons Dal.
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
Og Landet skal sørge, hver Slægt for sig; Davids Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig; Nathans Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig;
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
Levis Hus's Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig; Simeis Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig;
14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
alle de øvrige Slægter, hver Slægt for sig og deres Kvinder for sig.
