Zacarias 9
1 Uma revelação. A palavra de Yahweh é contra a terra de Hadrach, e descansará sobre Damasco... para o olho do homem e de todas as tribos de Israel é para Yahweh...
[This is another] message [that I received] from Yahweh. [Yahweh said, ] “I watch [MTY] everyone, especially the tribes of Israel; [so] I will [punish the people in] the Hadrach [region] and in Damascus [city] [because of what they did to the people of Israel].
2 e Hamath, também, que faz fronteira com ela, Tyre e Sidon, porque eles são muito sábios.
[I will also punish the people in] nearby Hamath [city]. I will also [punish the people in] Tyre and Sidon [cities], even though they are [considered to be] [IRO] very wise.
3 Tyre construiu ela mesma uma fortaleza, e amontoou prata como o pó, e ouro fino como a lama das ruas.
[The people in] Tyre built a high wall [around their city]. They piled up [huge amounts of] silver and gold as though they were [piles of] dirt in the streets.
4 Eis que o Senhor a despojará, e ele atingirá o poder dela no mar; e ela será devorada com fogo.
But [I], Yahweh, will cause their precious possessions to be taken away and all their ships to be destroyed, and their city will be destroyed by a fire.
5 Ashkelon o verá, e temerá; Gaza também, e vai escrever em agonia; assim como Ekron, pois sua expectativa será desapontada; e o rei perecerá de Gaza, e Ashkelon não será habitada.
[The people in Ashkelon city] will see that [happen], and they will become very afraid. [The people in] Gaza [city] will shake because of being terrified, and [the people in Ekron city] will shake too, because they will no longer expect [to prosper]. The king of [the city of] Gaza will be killed, and [the city of] Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 Foreigners habitará em Ashdod, e eu vou cortar o orgulho dos filisteus.
Foreigners will occupy Ashdod [city]. I will cause the [people in all those cities of] Philistia to no longer be proud.
7 Eu tirarei seu sangue da boca, e suas abominações de entre seus dentes; e ele também será um resquício para nosso Deus; e ele será como chefe em Judá, e Ekron como um Jebusite.
I will no longer allow them to eat [MTY] meat that still has blood in it, and I will forbid them to eat [MTY] food that I [MTY] have not allowed them to eat [because it was offered to idols]. [At that time, ] the people [in Philistia] who survive will worship me, and they will become [my people, like] the people of Judah are. The Philistine people of Ekron will also become my people like [SIM] the people of Jebus did [when they were conquered].
8 Vou acampar ao redor de minha casa contra o exército, que ninguém passa ou retorna; e nenhum opressor passará mais por eles: por enquanto vi com meus olhos.
I will protect my temple, and I will not allow any [enemy soldiers] to enter it. No [enemies] will harm my people again, because I will be watching [over my people] carefully.
9 Alegre-se muito, filha de Zion! Grita, filha de Jerusalém! Eis que vosso Rei vem até vós! Ele é justo, e tem salvação; humilde e montado em um burro, mesmo em um potro, o potro de um burro.
Rejoice very much, [you people of] Jerusalem [APO, DOU] and shout joyfully, because your king will be coming to you. He is righteous and victorious; [but he will be] gentle, and [he will be] riding on a donkey, on a young female donkey.
10 Vou cortar a carruagem de Ephraim e o cavalo de Jerusalém. O arco de batalha será cortado; e ele falará de paz às nações. Seu domínio será de mar a mar, e do rio até os confins da terra.
I will get rid of the chariots in the Ephraim [region that are used in battles] and [all] the war horses in Jerusalem. [All] the bows used in wars will be broken. [Your king] will proclaim that he will cause things to go well and peacefully in the nations. He will rule [the area] from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Dead] Sea, and from the [Euphrates] River to the most distant places on the earth.
11 Quanto a você também, por causa do sangue de seu convênio, Eu libertei seus prisioneiros do poço no qual não há água.
As for you [my people of Jerusalem], because of the blood [of the animals that were sacrificed to make] my agreement with you, I will free your people who were forced to go to other countries where [it was as though they were kept] in a waterless pit.
12 Voltem-se para a fortaleza, seus prisioneiros da esperança! Ainda hoje, declaro que lhe devolverei o dobro.
[You people who were] prisoners [in those countries] who [still] confidently expect [God to help you], return to [Judah], where you will be safe. This day I declare that I will give you two blessings for [each of the troubles that you have experienced].
13 Pois de fato eu dobro Judá como um arco para mim. Eu carreguei o arco com Efraim. Eu agitarei seus filhos, Zion, contra seus filhos, Grécia, e fará você gostar da espada de um homem poderoso.
I will cause Judah to be like [MET] my bow, and I will cause Israel to be [like] [MET] my arrow. I will enable you young men of Jerusalem to fight against the soldiers of Greece; you will be like [SIM] a warrior’s sword.”
14 Yahweh será visto por cima deles. Sua seta piscará como um relâmpago. O Senhor Yahweh tocará a trombeta, e irá com os redemoinhos do sul.
[Some day] Yahweh will appear [in the sky] above his people, and the arrows that he shoots will be like [SIM] lightning. Yahweh [our] Lord will blow his trumpet, and he will march [fiercely] like [MET] the storms from the south.
15 Yahweh de Exércitos os defenderá. Eles destruirão e vencerão com pedras de funda. Eles vão beber, e rugir como através do vinho. Eles serão preenchidos como tigelas, como os cantos do altar.
The Commander of the armies of angels will protect [his people]; [the soldiers of Judah] will attack and defeat [their enemies who attack them] using slingshots. [Those soldiers of Judah] will drink and celebrate and shout like [SIM] people who are drunk; they will be as full [of wine] as the bowl that holds [the blood of the animals that are sacrificed] and [which is then] sprinkled on the corners of the altar.
16 Yahweh seu Deus os salvará naquele dia como o rebanho de seu povo; pois elas são como as jóias de uma coroa, erguido nas alturas sobre suas terras.
On that day, Yahweh our God will save his people [like a shepherd saves] his flock [of sheep from danger]. In their land, they will be like [SIM] jewels that sparkle on a crown.
17 Por quão grande é sua bondade, e como é grande sua beleza! O grão fará os jovens florescerem, e vinho novo as virgens.
They will be delightful and beautiful. The young men will become strong from [eating] grain, and the young women will [become strong] from [drinking] new wine.
