Книга пророка Захарии 8
1 И бысть слово Господа Вседержителя (ко мне) глаголя:
Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
2 сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: ревновах по Иерусалиме и Сионе рвением великим и яростию велиею ревновах по нем.
“This is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say: ‘I love [the people of] Jerusalem; I love them very much, and I am very angry with their enemies.’
3 Тако глаголет Господь: обращуся к Сиону и вселюся посреде Иерусалима, и наречется Иерусалим град истинный, и гора Господа Вседержителя гора святая.
So this is what I say: ‘[Some day] I will return to Zion [Hill] and I will live there. [At that time, ] Jerusalem will be called the city [where people] (are faithful to/faithfully obey) me, and [people will say that Zion] Hill [is] holy because it is where the Commander of the armies of angels dwells.’”
4 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: еще сядут старцы и старицы на путех Иерусалимских, кийждо жезл свой имый в руце своей от множества дний:
The Commander of the armies of angels also says this: “[Some day] old men and old women will again sit along the streets of Jerusalem, each of them holding a cane because of their being very old.
5 и путие града исполнятся отрочищ и отроковиц играющих на путех его.
And the city streets with be full of boys and girls playing.”
6 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: аще изнеможет пред останком людий сих во онех днех, еда и предо Мною изнеможет? Глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “[When those things happen, ] it will seem marvelous to the people who are still alive, but it certainly will not [RHQ] seem marvelous to me!”
7 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: се, Аз спасу люди Моя от земли восточныя и от земли западныя
The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “I will rescue my people from countries to the northeast and to the southwest [to which they were forced to go].
8 и введу их (в землю их), и вселюся посреде Иерусалима, и будут Ми в люди, и Аз буду им в Бога во истине и в правде.
I will bring them back [to Judah], and they will [again] live in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God. I will be faithful [to them] and act righteously [toward them].”
9 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: да укрепятся руце вас слышащих во днех сих словеса сия от уст пророческих, от негоже дне основася храм Господа Вседержителя, и церковь отнележе создася.
The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “When the foundation for my temple was laid, there were prophets there who proclaimed messages [from me]. Some of you heard what those prophets said. [So] be brave/courageous [MTY] [while you are building] the temple, in order that you may [finish] building it.
10 Зане прежде дний онех мзда человеком не бе во успех, и мзда скотом не бяше, и исходящему и входящему не бе мира от печали, и послю вся человеки коегождо на искренняго своего.
Before [you started to rebuild the temple], [no one could hire] men or animals [to work for them, because] there was no money to pay for them. And people were afraid to go anywhere because I had caused people to oppose each other, and [they thought that] there were enemies [everywhere].
11 И ныне не по днем онем прежним Аз сотворю останку людий сих, глаголет Господь Вседержитель,
But now I will act differently toward [you] people who are still alive, [differently] than I did previously. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.
12 но покажу мир: виноград даст плод свой, и земля даст жита своя, и небо даст росу свою, и наследити сотворю останком людий Моих сих вся сия.
[From now on, ] it will be peaceful when you plant [your seeds], and your grapevines will produce grapes, and good crops will grow in your fields. There will be rain. I will give all those things to [you] people who are still alive.
13 И будет, яко бесте в клятве во языцех, доме Иудов и доме Израилев, тако спасу вы, и будете в благословении: дерзайте и укрепляйтеся руками вашими.
You [people of] Judah and Israel, [the people of other] nations have cursed you. But I will rescue you, and you will be a blessing [to the people of many nations. So] do not be afraid; work hard [MTY] [to finish building the temple].”
14 Зане сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: якоже помыслих озлобити вы, внегда прогневаша Мя отцы ваши, глаголет Господь Вседержитель, и не раскаяхся:
The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “When your ancestors caused me to become very angry, I decided to punish them. And I did not change my mind.
15 тако уставих и умыслих во дни сия добро сотворити Иерусалиму и дому Иудову: дерзайте.
But now [I will do something different]. I am planning to do good things to [the people of] Jerusalem and [other towns in] Judah. [So] do not be afraid.
16 Сия словеса, яже сотворите: глаголите истину кийждо искреннему своему, истину и суд мирен судите во вратех ваших,
These are the things that you should do: [You should always] tell the truth to each other. In the courts, [your judges must] make decisions according to what is correct and fair.
17 и кийждо злобы искренняго своего не помышляйте в сердцах ваших, и клятвы лживыя не любите, зане вся сия возненавидех, глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
Do not plan to do evil things to others, and do not falsely promise [to do things that you know that you will not do]. I hate all those things.”
18 И бысть слово Господа Вседержителя ко мне глаголя:
The Commander of the armies of angels spoke to me [again].
19 сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: пост четвертый и пост пятый, и пост седмый и пост десятый будут дому Иудову в радость и в веселие и в праздники благи: и возвеселитеся и истину и мир возлюбите.
This is what he said: “The times when you people of Judah (fast/abstain from food) during the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months [of each year] will become good and very happy/joyful [DOU] festivals. But you must want [to speak] truthfully and [be] peaceful.”
20 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: еще людие мнози приидут и живущии во градех многих:
The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “[Some day] people from many [people-groups and foreign] cities will come [here to Jerusalem].
21 и снидутся живущии во пяти градех во един град, глаголюще: грядим помолитися лицу Господню и взыскати лице Господа Вседержителя: иду и аз.
People from one city will go to [the people in] another [city] and say, ‘Let’s [go together to Jerusalem] to worship Yahweh and ask him to bless us; we [ourselves] are going.’
22 И приидут людие мнози и языцы мнози взыскати лица Господа Вседержителя во Иерусалиме и умолити лице Господне.
And [people from] many people-groups and [from] powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to worship Yahweh and ask him to bless them.”
23 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: во оны дни имется десять мужей от всех племен языческих, и имутся за ризу мужа Иудеанина, глаголюще: пойдем с тобою, зане слышахом, яко Бог с вами есть.
The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “At that time, [this is what will happen everywhere]: A group of people from one nation or a group of people who speak another language will grab the fringe/edge of the robe of a Jew and say [to him], ‘We have heard [people say] that God is with you. So allow us to go with you [to Jerusalem to worship him].’”
