Zaccharias Propheta 9
1 onus verbi Domini in terra Adrach et Damasci requiei eius quia Domini est oculus hominis et omnium tribuum Israhel
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 Emath quoque in terminis eius et Tyrus et Sidon adsumpserunt quippe sibi sapientiam valde
And also Hamath borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!
3 et aedificavit Tyrus munitionem suam et coacervavit argentum quasi humum et aurum ut lutum platearum
And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, And heaps silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
4 ecce Dominus possidebit eam et percutiet in mari fortitudinem eius et haec igni devorabitur
Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, And He has struck her force in the sea, And she is consumed with fire.
5 videbit Ascalon et timebit et Gaza et dolebit nimis et Accaron quoniam confusa est spes eius et peribit rex de Gaza et Ascalon non habitabitur
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 et sedebit separator in Azoto et disperdam superbiam Philisthinorum
“And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellence of the Philistines.
7 et auferam sanguinem eius de ore eius et abominationes eius de medio dentium eius et relinquetur etiam ipse Deo nostro et erit quasi dux in Iuda et Accaron quasi Iebuseus
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 et circumdabo domum meam ex his qui militant mihi euntes et revertentes et non transibit super eos ultra exactor quia nunc vidi in oculis meis
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 exulta satis filia Sion iubila filia Hierusalem ecce rex tuus veniet tibi iustus et salvator ipse pauper et ascendens super asinum et super pullum filium asinae
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 et disperdam quadrigam ex Ephraim et equum de Hierusalem et dissipabitur arcus belli et loquetur pacem gentibus et potestas eius a mari usque ad mare et a fluminibus usque ad fines terrae
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 tu quoque in sanguine testamenti tui emisisti vinctos tuos de lacu in quo non est aqua
Also You—by the blood of Your covenant, I have sent Your prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.
12 convertimini ad munitionem vincti spei hodie quoque adnuntians duplicia reddam tibi
Return to a stronghold, You prisoners of the hope, Even today a second announcer I restore to you.
13 quoniam extendi mihi Iudam quasi arcum implevi Ephraim et suscitabo filios tuos Sion super filios tuos Graecia et ponam te quasi gladium fortium
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 et Dominus Deus super eos videbitur et exibit ut fulgur iaculum eius et Dominus Deus in tuba canet et vadet in turbine austri
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 Dominus exercituum proteget eos et devorabunt et subicient lapidibus fundae et bibentes inebriabuntur quasi vino et replebuntur ut fialae et quasi cornua altaris
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 et salvabit eos Dominus Deus eorum in die illa ut gregem populi sui quia lapides sancti elevantur super terram eius
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 quid enim bonum eius est et quid pulchrum eius nisi frumentum electorum et vinum germinans virgines
For what His goodness! And what His beauty! Grain the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!
