Zacarias 12
1 Carga da palavra do Senhor sobre Israel: Falla o Senhor, o que estende o céu, e que funda a terra, e que forma o espirito do homem dentro n'elle.
[This is] a message from Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh is the one who stretched out the sky, who created the earth, and who (gave life to humans/caused humans to be alive). This is what he says:
2 Eis que eu porei a Jerusalem como um copo de tremor para todos os povos em redor, e tambem para Judah, o qual será no cerco contra Jerusalem.
“I will soon cause Jerusalem to be [like] [MET] a cup full [of very strong alcoholic drink], and the people of other nations who drink it will stagger around. And they will come and attack Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah.
3 E será n'aquelle dia que porei a Jerusalem por pedra pesada a todos os povos; todos os que carregarem com ella certamente serão despedaçados, e ajuntar-se-hão contra elle todas as nações da terra
At that time, [the armies of] all the nations will gather to attack Jerusalem, but I will cause [the leaders of] Judah to be [like] [SIM] a very heavy rock, and all who [try to] lift it will be badly injured.
4 N'aquelle dia, diz o Senhor, ferirei de espanto a todos os cavallos, e de loucura os que montam n'elles; mas sobre a casa de Judah abrirei os meus olhos, e ferirei de cegueira a todos os cavallos dos povos.
At that time I will cause every [one of their enemies’] horses to panic, and their riders to become crazy. I [IDM] will protect the people of Judah, but I will cause all their enemies’ horses to become blind.
5 Então os chefes de Judah dirão no seu coração: A minha força são os habitantes de Jerusalem e o Senhor dos Exercitos, seu Deus.
Then the leaders of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people in Jerusalem are strong because the Commander of the armies of angels is their God.’
6 N'aquelle dia porei os chefes de Judah como um brazeiro de fogo debaixo da lenha, e como um tição de fogo entre gavelas; e á banda direita e esquerda consumirão a todos os povos em redor, e Jerusalem será habitada outra vez no seu logar, em Jerusalem.
At that time I will enable the leaders of Judah to be like [SIM] a pan containing hot coals [that is put] in a woodpile [to set it on fire], or like [SIM] a burning torch [that is put] in a [field of] ripe grain [to set it on fire]. The leaders of Judah [and their army] will destroy the people of the surrounding nations in all directions. But [the people of] Jerusalem will remain safe.
7 E o Senhor primeiramente salvará as tendas de Judah, para que a gloria da casa de David e a gloria dos habitantes de Jerusalem não se engrandeça sobre Judah.
And [I], Yahweh, will protect the tents of [the soldiers in other places in] Judah before [I rescue the people of Jerusalem], in order that the leaders of Jerusalem [DOU] will not be honored more than [the people in other places in] Judah [are honored].
8 N'aquelle dia o Senhor amparará os habitantes de Jerusalem; e o que tropeçar entre elles n'aquelle dia será como David, e a casa de David será como Deus, como o anjo do Senhor diante d'elles.
At that time, I will protect [MET] the people of Jerusalem. When that happens, even the weakest people in Jerusalem will be [strong] like [King] David [was]. And the descendants [MTY] of David will [rule the people] like I [would], as though an angel sent from [me], Yahweh, was their leader.
9 E será, n'aquelle dia, que procurarei destruir todas as nações que vierem contra Jerusalem;
At that time, I will prepare to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
10 Porém sobre a casa de David, e sobre os habitantes de Jerusalem, derramarei o Espirito de graça e de supplicações; e olharão para mim, a quem traspassaram: e farão pranto sobre elle, como o pranto sobre o unigenito; e chorarão amargosamente sobre elle, como se chora amargosamente sobre o primogenito.
“I, [Yahweh, ] will cause the descendants [MTY] of [King] David to act very kindly and mercifully. They will look at me, [the one] who has been stabbed, and they will cry bitterly, like people cry for a firstborn son [who has died] [DOU].
11 N'aquelle dia será grande o pranto em Jerusalem, como o pranto de Hadadrimmon no valle de Meggiddon.
At that time, many people in Jerusalem will be crying bitterly, like people cried [when King Josiah was killed in the battle] at Hadad-Rimmon on the Megiddo Plain.
12 E a terra pranteará, cada linhagem á parte: a linhagem da casa de David, á parte, e suas mulheres, á parte, e a linhagem da casa de Nathan, á parte, e suas mulheres, á parte
Many people in Judah will cry, each family by themselves: the male descendants of David by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [David’s son] Nathan by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
13 A linhagem da casa de Levi, a parte, e suas mulheres, á parte; a linhagem de Simei, á parte, e suas mulheres á parte.
the male descendants [MTY] of Levi by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [Levi’s grandson] Shimei by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
14 Todas as mais linhagens, cada linhagem á parte, e suas mulheres á parte.
and all the other members [of the kings’ clans and the priests’ clans] by themselves, and their wives by themselves.”
