Zacarias 1
1 No oitavo mês do segundo ano de Dario veio a palavra do Senhor ao profeta Zacarias, filho de Barachias, filho de Iddo, dizendo:
In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2 O Senhor se irou por extremo contra vossos pais.
The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.
3 Portanto dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: tornai para mim, diz o Senhor dos exércitos, e eu tornarei para vós, diz o Senhor dos exércitos.
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.
4 E não sejais como vossos pais, aos quais gritavam os primeiros profetas, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Convertei-vos agora dos vossos maus caminhos e das vossas más obras; porém não ouviam, nem me escutavam, diz o Senhor.
Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked thoughts. But they did not heed, and neither did they pay attention to me, says the Lord.
5 Vossos pais, onde estão? e os profetas, viverão eles para sempre?
Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?
6 Contudo as minhas palavras e os meus estatutos, que eu mandei aos profetas, meus servos, não alcançaram a vossos pais? E eles tornaram, e disseram: Assim como o Senhor dos exércitos fez tenção de nos tratar, segundo os nossos caminhos, e segundo as nossas obras, assim ele nos tratou.
Yet truly my words and my lawfulness, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, were indeed comprehended by your fathers, and so they were converted, and they said: Just as the Lord of hosts decided to do to us, according to our ways and according to our inventions, so has he done to us.
7 Aos vinte e quatro dias do mês undécimo (que é o mês de Sebat), no segundo ano de Dario, veio a palavra do Senhor ao profeta Zacarias, filho de Barachias, filho de Iddo, dizendo:
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is called Shevat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 Vi de noite, e eis um homem montado num cavalo vermelho, e parava entre as murtas que estavam na profundeza, e atráz dele estavam cavalos vermelhos, morenos e brancos.
I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.
9 E eu disse: Senhor meu, quem são estes? E disse-me o anjo que falava comigo: Eu te mostrarei quem estes são.
And I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me, “I will reveal to you 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 they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth.”
11 E eles responderam ao anjo do Senhor, que estava entre as murtas, e disseram: Nós já andamos pela terra, e eis que toda a terra está assentada e quieta.
And those who stood among the myrtle trees answered the angel of the Lord, and they said, “We have walked through the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited and is at rest.”
12 Então o anjo do Senhor respondeu, e disse: Ó Senhor dos exércitos, até quando não terás compaixão de Jerusalém, e das cidades de Judá, contra as quais estiveste irado estes setenta anos
And the angel of the Lord answered and said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry? This is now the seventieth year.”
13 E respondeu o Senhor ao anjo, que falava comigo, palavras boas, palavras consoladoras.
And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.
14 E o anjo que falava comigo me disse: Clama, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Com grande zelo estou zelando por Jerusalém e por Sião.
And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me: Cry out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great zeal.
15 E com grandíssima ira estou irado contra as nações descançadas; porque eu estava pouco irado, mas eles auxiliaram o mal.
And, with a great anger, I am angry with the wealthy nations. Though I had been angry a little, truly they advanced further in evil.
16 Portanto, o Senhor diz assim: Tornei-me a Jerusalém com misericórdia, a minha casa nela será edificada, diz o Senhor dos exércitos, e o cordel será estendido sobre Jerusalém.
Because of this, thus says the Lord: I will be turned back, towards Jerusalem, with mercies; and my house will be built upon this, says the Lord of hosts. And the building line will be extended over Jerusalem.
17 Clama mais, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: As minhas cidades ainda serão estendidas por causa do bem; porque o Senhor ainda consolará a Sião e ainda escolherá a Jerusalém.
Until then, cry out saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Until then, my cities will flow with good things, and, until then, the Lord will comfort Zion, and, until then, he will single out Jerusalem.
18 E levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que vi quatro cornos.
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw. And behold: four horns.
19 E eu disse ao anjo que falava comigo: Que são estes? E ele me disse: Estes são os poderes que espalharam a Judá, a Israel e a Jerusalém.
And I said to the angel, who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah and Israel and Jerusalem.”
20 E o Senhor me mostrou quatro ferreiros.
And the Lord showed me four workmen.
21 Então eu disse: Que veem estes fazer? E ele falou, dizendo: Estes são os poderes que espalharam a Jerusalém, de maneira que ninguém levantasse a sua cabeça; estes pois vieram para lhes meter medo, para derribarem os poderes das nações que levantaram o seu poder contra a terra de Judá, para a espalharem.
And I said, “What have these come to do?” He spoke, saying, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah, through every single man, and none of them lifted up his head. And these have come to frighten them away, so as to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which have lifted up a horn over the land of Judah, so as to scatter it.”
