Zakariás 9
1 Az Úr igéjének terhe a Kadrák földe ellen; Damaskus lesz pedig annak nyugvóhelye (mert az Úr szemmel tartja az embereket és Izráelnek minden törzsét);
[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].
2 És Hámát is, a mely szomszédos vele; Tírus és Sídon, noha igen okosak!
[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.
3 Várat épített magának Tírus, és annyi az ezüstje rakáson, mint a por, és az aranya, mint az utczák sara.
[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.
4 Ímé szegénynyé teszi őt az Úr, és megrontja hatalmát a tengeren, magát pedig tűz emészti meg.
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.
5 Meglátja ezt Askalon és megretten; Gáza is és igen bánkódik; Ekron is, mert megszégyenült reménységében. Mert kivész a király Gázából, és Askalon lakatlan marad.
[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.
6 Asdódban pedig idegenek laknak, és a Filiszteusok kevélységét megtöröm.
Foreigners will occupy Ashdod [city]. I will cause the [people in all those cities of] Philistia to no longer be proud.
7 Kivonszom a vért szájukból és útálatosságaikat fogaik közül, és ő is a mi Istenünké marad; és olyan lesz, mint egy fejedelem Júdában, Ekron pedig, mint a Jebuzeus.
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].
8 És tábort járok házam körül, mint a sereg ellen, az ide-oda kóborlók ellen, és nem megy át többé rajtok a sarczoló, mert most szemmel tartom őt.
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.
9 Örülj nagyon, Sionnak leánya, örvendezz, Jeruzsálem leánya! Ímé, jön néked a te királyod; igaz és szabadító ő; szegény és szamárháton ülő, azaz nőstényszamárnak vemhén.
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.
10 És kivesztem a szekeret Efraimból és a lovat Jeruzsálemből, kivesztem a harczi kézívet is, és békességet hirdet a pogányoknak; és uralkodik tengertől tengerig, és a folyamtól a föld határáig.
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.
11 Sőt a veled való szövetségnek véréért a te foglyaidat is kibocsátom a kútból, a melyben nincs víz.
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.
12 Térjetek vissza az erősséghez, reménységnek foglyai! Ma is azt hirdetem néktek: kétszeresen megfizetek néked!
[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].
13 Mert kifeszítem Júdát magamnak mintegy kézívet és megtöltöm Efraimot; és felindítom fiaidat, oh Sion, a te fiaid ellen, oh Jáván, és olyanná teszlek, mint a hős fegyvere.
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.”
14 És megjelen felettök az Úr, és nyila repül mint a villámlás; az Úr Isten kürtöt fuvall, és déli szelekben nyomul elő.
[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.
15 A Seregeknek Ura megoltalmazza őket; megemésztik és letapossák a parittya-köveket, és isznak és zajongnak, mint a bortól, és megtelnek, mint a csészék és mint az oltár szegletei.
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.
16 És megsegíti őket az Úr, az ő Istenök ama napon, mint az ő népének nyáját, és mint korona-kövek ragyognak az ő földén.
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.
17 Oh, mily nagy az ő jósága és mily nagy az ő kedvessége! Ifjakat tesz virágzóvá a gabona, és leányokat a must.
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.
