Zacarias 7
1 Aconteceu pois, no anno quarto do rei Dario, que a palavra do Senhor veiu a Zacharias, no dia quarto do nono mez, que é chisleu.
And it happened, in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Kislev.
2 Quando foram enviados á casa de Deus, Saresar, e Regemmelech, e os homens d'elle, para supplicarem o rosto do Senhor,
And Sharezer and Regemmelech, and the men who were with them, sent to the house of God, to entreat the face of the Lord,
3 Dizendo aos sacerdotes, que estavam na casa do Senhor dos Exercitos, e aos prophetas: Chorarei eu no quinto mez, separando-me, como o tenho feito por tantos annos?
to speak to the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts and to the prophets, saying: “Must there be weeping with me in the fifth month, and must I sanctify myself, as I have now done for many years?”
4 Então a palavra do Senhor dos Exercitos veiu a mim, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:
5 Falla a todo o povo d'esta terra, o aos sacerdotes, dizendo: Quando jejuastes, e pranteastes, no quinto e no setimo mez, a saber, estes setenta annos, porventura, jejuando, jejuastes para mim, para mim, digo?
Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying: Although you may have fasted and mourned in the fifth and the seventh month for these seventy years, did you indeed keep a fast unto me?
6 Ou quando comestes, e quando bebestes, não fostes vós os que comieis e vós os que bebieis?
And when you did eat and drink, did you not eat for yourselves, and drink only for yourselves?
7 Não são estas as palavras que o Senhor prégou pelo ministerio dos prophetas primeiros, quando Jerusalem estava habitada e quieta, com as suas cidades ao redor d'ella? e o sul e a campina eram habitados?
Are not these the words that the Lord has spoken by the hand of the former prophets, when Jerusalem was still inhabited, so that it would prosper, itself and the cities around it, and those inhabitants towards the South and in the plains?
8 E a palavra do Senhor veiu a Zacharias, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying:
9 Assim fallou o Senhor dos Exercitos, dizendo: Julgae juizo verdadeiro, executae piedade e misericordias cada um com seu irmão;
Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: Judge with true judgment, and act with mercy and compassion, each and every one with his brother.
10 E não opprimaes a viuva, nem o orphão, nem o estrangeiro, nem o pobre, nem intente o mal cada um contra o seu irmão no seu coração.
And do not find fault with the widow, and the orphan, and the newcomer, and the poor. And let not a man consider evil in his heart towards his brother.
11 Porém não quizeram escutar, e me deram o hombro rebelde, e ensurdeceram os seus ouvidos, para que não ouvissem.
But they were not willing to pay attention, and they turned aside their shoulder to depart, and they pressed upon their ears, so that they would not hear.
12 E fizeram o seu coração como diamante, para que não ouvissem a lei, nem as palavras que o Senhor dos Exercitos enviava pelo seu Espirito pelo ministerio dos prophetas primeiros: d'onde veiu a grande ira do Senhor dos Exercitos.
And they set their heart like the hardest stone, so that they would not hear the law and the words that the Lord of hosts has sent with his Spirit by the hand of the former prophets. And so a great indignation came from Lord of hosts.
13 E aconteceu que, como elle clamou, e elles não ouviram, assim tambem elles clamaram, mas eu não ouvi, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos.
And it happened, just as he had spoken, and they did not pay attention. So then, they shall cry out, and I will not heed, says the Lord of hosts.
14 E os espalhei com tempestade entre todas as nações, que elles não conheciam, e a terra foi assolada atraz d'elles, de sorte que ninguem passava por ella, nem se tornava: porque teem feito da terra desejada uma desolação.
And I dispersed them throughout all the kingdoms that they did not know. And the land was left desolate behind them, so that no one was passing through or returning. And they made the desirable land into a deserted place.
