Zacarias 1
1 No oitavo mez do segundo anno de Dario veiu a palavra do Senhor ao propheta Zacharias, filho de Barachias, filho de Iddo, dizendo:
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechyah, the son of 'Iddo the prophet, saying,
2 O Senhor se irou por extremo contra vossos paes.
The Lord hath been greatly angry with your fathers.
3 Portanto dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Tornae para mim, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, e eu tornarei para vós, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos.
And [now] say thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Return ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will return unto you: so hath said the Lord of hosts.
4 E não sejaes como vossos paes, aos quaes gritavam os primeiros prophetas, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Convertei-vos agora dos vossos maus caminhos e das vossas más obras; porém não ouviam, nem me escutavam, diz o Senhor.
Be ye not like your fathers, unto whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Do return from your evil ways, and your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor listen unto me, saith the Lord.
5 Vossos paes, onde estão? e os prophetas, viverão elles para sempre?
Your fathers, —where are they! and the prophets, — could they live for ever!
6 Comtudo as minhas palavras e os meus estatutos, que eu mandei aos prophetas, meus servos, não alcançaram a vossos paes? E elles tornaram, e disseram: Assim como o Senhor dos Exercitos fez tenção de nos tratar, segundo os nossos caminhos, e segundo as nossas obras, assim elle nos tratou.
But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, behold, they did overtake your fathers: and [then] they returned and said, Just as the Lord of hosts had purposed to do unto us, in accordance with our ways, and in accordance with our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7 Aos vinte e quatro dias do mez undecimo (que é o mez de Sebat), no segundo anno de Dario, veiu a palavra do Senhor ao propheta Zacharias, filho de Barachias, filho de Iddo, dizendo:
On the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechyahu, the son of 'Iddo the prophet, saying,
8 Vi de noite, e eis um homem montado n'um cavallo vermelho, e parava entre as murtas que estavam na profundeza, e atraz d'elle estavam cavallos vermelhos, morenos e brancos.
I saw this night, and behold there was a man riding upon a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle-trees that were in the deep valley; and behind him were red, pale, and white horses.
9 E eu disse: Senhor meu, quem são estes? E disse-me o anjo que fallava comigo: Eu te mostrarei quem estes são.
And I said, What are these, O my lord? Then said unto me the angel that spoke with me, I will show thee what these are.
10 Então respondeu o homem que estava entre as murtas, e disse: Estes são os que o Senhor tem enviado para andarem pela terra.
And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are those whom the Lord hath sent to traverse the earth.
11 E elles responderam ao anjo do Senhor, que estava entre as murtas, e disseram: Nós já andámos pela terra, e eis que toda a terra está assentada e quieta.
And they answered the angel of the Lord that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have traversed the earth, and, behold, all the earth is inhabited quietly, and is at rest.
12 Então o anjo do Senhor respondeu, e disse: Ó Senhor dos Exercitos, até quando não terás compaixão de Jerusalem, e das cidades de Judah, contra as quaes estiveste irado estes setenta annos
Then commenced the angel of the Lord, and said, O Lord of hosts, how long yet wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast been indignant these seventy years?
13 E respondeu o Senhor ao anjo, que fallava comigo, palavras boas, palavras consoladoras.
And the Lord answered the angel that spoke with me with good words and comforting words.
14 E o anjo que fallava comigo me disse: Clama, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Com grande zelo estou zelando por Jerusalem e por Sião.
And the angel that spoke with me said unto me, Proclaim thou, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 E com grandissima ira estou irado contra as nações descançadas; porque eu estava pouco irado, mas elles auxiliaram o mal.
And with a great anger will I be angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little angry [with Zion], and they helped forward the mischief.
16 Portanto, o Senhor diz assim: Tornei-me a Jerusalem com misericordia, a minha casa n'ella será edificada, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, e o cordel será estendido sobre Jerusalem.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, I am returned to Jerusalem in mercy: my house shall be rebuilt in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and the measuring-line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
17 Clama mais, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: As minhas cidades ainda serão estendidas por causa do bem; porque o Senhor ainda consolará a Sião e ainda escolherá a Jerusalem.
Proclaim yet [farther], saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, My cities shall again overflow with prosperity: and the Lord will again comfort Zion, and make choice again of Jerusalem.
18 E levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que vi quatro cornos.
And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there were four horns.
19 E eu disse ao anjo que fallava comigo: Que são estes? E elle me disse: Estes são os poderes que espalharam a Judah, a Israel e a Jerusalem.
And I said unto the angel who spoke with me, What are these? And he said unto me, These are the horns that have dispersed Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 E o Senhor me mostrou quatro ferreiros.
And the Lord showed me four carpenters.
21 Então eu disse: Que veem estes fazer? E elle fallou, dizendo: Estes são os poderes que espalharam a Jerusalem, de maneira que ninguem levantasse a sua cabeça; estes pois vieram para lhes metter medo, para derribarem os poderes das nações que levantaram o seu poder contra a terra de Judah, para a espalharem.
Then said I, What are these coming to do? And he said as followeth, These are the horns that have dispersed Judah, to the extent that no man could lift up his head; but these are come to terrify them, to cast off the horns of the nations, that have been lifting up their horn over the land of Judah to disperse it.
