Zacarias 7
1 No quarto ano do rei Dario, a palavra de Yahweh chegou a Zacarias no quarto dia do nono mês, o mês de Chislev.
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, [even] in Chislev,
2 O povo de Betel enviou Sharezer e Regem Melech e seus homens para pedir o favor de Javé,
when Bethel had sent Sherezer and Regem-melech, and his men, to supplicate Jehovah,
3 e para falar aos sacerdotes da casa de Javé dos exércitos e aos profetas, dizendo: “Devo chorar no quinto mês, separando-me, como tenho feito nestes tantos anos?
[and] to speak unto the priests that were in the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done now so many years?
4 Então a palavra de Javé dos Exércitos veio a mim, dizendo:
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying,
5 “Fala a todo o povo da terra e aos sacerdotes, dizendo: 'Quando jejuastes e chorastes no quinto e no sétimo mês durante estes setenta anos, jejuastes de todo para mim, realmente para mim?
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye really fast unto me, [even] unto me?
6 Quando comem e quando bebem, não comem para si mesmos e não bebem para si mesmos?
And when ye ate, and when ye drank, was it not you that were eating and drinking?
7 Aren't these the words which Yahweh proclamed by the former prophets when Jerusalem was hababited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?'”
Are not these the words that Jehovah cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and at peace, and her cities round about her, when the south and the lowland were inhabited?
8 A palavra de Javé veio a Zacarias, dizendo:
And the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah, saying,
9 “Assim falou Javé dos Exércitos, dizendo: 'Executem o verdadeiro julgamento e mostrem bondade e compaixão cada homem para com seu irmão'.
Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew loving-kindness and mercies one to another,
10 Não oprimais a viúva, o órfão de pai, o estrangeiro, nem os pobres; e não deixeis que nenhum de vós invente o mal contra seu irmão em seu coração'.
and oppress not the widow and the fatherless, the stranger and the afflicted; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11 Mas eles se recusaram a ouvir, e viraram as costas, e pararam os ouvidos, para que não ouvissem.
But they refused to hearken, and turned a rebellious shoulder, and made their ears heavy, that they should not hear.
12 Yes, fizeram seus corações duros como pedra, para que não ouvissem a lei e as palavras que Javé dos Exércitos havia enviado por seu Espírito pelos antigos profetas. Portanto, grande ira veio de Javé dos Exércitos.
And they made their heart [as] an adamant, that they should not hear the law, and the words that Jehovah of hosts sent by his Spirit by the hand of the former prophets: therefore was there great wrath from Jehovah of hosts.
13 Aconteceu que, como ele chamou e eles se recusaram a ouvir, assim eles chamarão e eu não ouvirei”, disse Javé dos Exércitos;
And it came to pass, like as he called, and they would not hear, so they called, and I would not hear, saith Jehovah of hosts;
14 “mas eu os espalharei com um turbilhão entre todas as nações que eles não conheceram”. Assim a terra ficou desolada depois deles, de modo que nenhum homem passou por eles nem retornou; pois eles tornaram a agradável terra desolada”.
and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not, and the land was desolate after them, so that no one passed through nor returned; and they laid the pleasant land desolate.
