Zakharia 9
1 Ucapan Ilahi. Firman TUHAN datang atas negeri Hadrakh dan berhenti di Damsyik. Sebab kepunyaan Tuhanlah kota-kota Aram serta segala suku Israel;
The burden of a word of YHWH against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh—his place of rest: (When to YHWH [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel).
2 juga Hamat yang berbatas kepadanya, pula Tirus dan Sidon, sekalipun mereka sangat bijaksana.
And also Hamath borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!
3 Tirus mendirikan tembok benteng bagi dirinya dan menimbun perak seperti debu dan emas seperti lumpur di jalan.
And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, And heaps silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
4 Namun sesungguhnya, Tuhan akan membuatnya miskin dan akan melontarkan kekuatannya ke dalam laut, dan kota itu sendiri akan habis dimakan api.
Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, And He has struck her force in the sea, And she is consumed with fire.
5 Askelon akan melihatnya, lalu takut; juga Gaza, lalu gemetar sangat; Ekronpun, sebab harapannya sudah kandas. Dari Gaza raja akan binasa dan Askelon tidak akan didiami lagi.
Ashkelon sees and fears, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron—for her expectation dried up, And a king has perished from Gaza, And Ashkelon does not remain,
6 Di Asdod akan diam keturunan campuran, dan kebanggaan orang Filistin akan Kulenyapkan.
“And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellence of the Philistines.
7 Aku akan melenyapkan darah dari mulutnya dan kejijikan dari antara giginya, dan yang tinggal dari merekapun akan menjadi kepunyaan Allah kita. Mereka akan dianggap seperti suatu kaum di Yehuda, dan orang Ekron seperti orang Yebus.
And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he has remained, even he, to our God, And he has been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 Aku berkemah dekat rumah-Ku sebagai pengawal terhadap mereka yang lalu-lalang; tidak akan ada lagi penindas mendatanginya, sebab sekarang Aku sendiri telah mengindahkannya.
And I have pitched a camp for My house, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And an exactor does not pass through against them again, For now, I have seen with My eyes.
9 Bersorak-soraklah dengan nyaring, hai puteri Sion, bersorak-sorailah, hai puteri Yerusalem! Lihat, rajamu datang kepadamu; ia adil dan jaya. Ia lemah lembut dan mengendarai seekor keledai, seekor keledai beban yang muda.
Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Behold, your King comes to you, Righteous and having salvation, Afflicted—and riding on a donkey, And on a colt—a son of female donkeys.
10 Ia akan melenyapkan kereta-kereta dari Efraim dan kuda-kuda dari Yerusalem; busur perang akan dilenyapkan, dan ia akan memberitakan damai kepada bangsa-bangsa. Wilayah kekuasaannya akan terbentang dari laut sampai ke laut dan dari sungai Efrat sampai ke ujung-ujung bumi.
And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Indeed, the bow of battle has been cut off, And He has spoken peace to nations, And His rule [is] from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.
11 Mengenai engkau, oleh karena darah perjanjian-Ku dengan engkau, Aku akan melepaskan orang-orang tahananmu dari lobang yang tidak berair.
Also You—by the blood of Your covenant, I have sent Your prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.
12 Kembalilah ke kota bentengmu, hai orang tahanan yang penuh harapan! Pada hari ini juga Aku memberitahukan: Aku akan memberi ganti kepadamu dua kali lipat!
Return to a stronghold, You prisoners of the hope, Even today a second announcer I restore to you.
13 Sebab Aku melentur Yehuda bagi-Ku, busur Kuisi dengan Efraim, dan Aku mengayunkan anak-anakmu, hai Sion, terhadap anak-anakmu, hai Yunani, dan Aku akan memakai engkau seperti pedang seorang pahlawan.
For I have trodden for Myself with Judah, I have filled a bow [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up your sons, O Zion, Against your sons, O Javan, And I have set you as the sword of a hero.”
14 TUHAN akan menampakkan diri kepada mereka, dan anak panah-Nya akan melayang keluar seperti kilat. Dan Tuhan ALLAH akan meniup sangkakala dan akan berjalan maju dalam angin badai dari selatan.
And YHWH appears for them, And His arrow has gone forth as lightning, And Lord YHWH blows with a horn, And He has gone with whirlwinds of the south.
15 TUHAN semesta alam akan melindungi mereka, dan mereka akan menghabisi dan menginjak-injak pengumban-pengumban. Mereka akan minum darah seperti minum anggur dan menjadi penuh seperti bokor penyiraman, seperti penjuru-penjuru mezbah.
YHWH of Hosts covers them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Indeed, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an altar.
16 TUHAN, Allah mereka, akan menyelamatkan mereka pada hari itu; seperti kawanan domba umat-Nya itu, sungguh, mereka seperti permata-permata mahkota yang berkilap-kilap, demikianlah mereka di tanah TUHAN.
And their God YHWH has saved them in that day, As a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.
17 Sungguh, alangkah baiknya itu dan alangkah indahnya! Teruna bertumbuh pesat karena gandum, dan anak dara karena anggur.
For what His goodness! And what His beauty! Grain the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!
