Zacarías 8

And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,

Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová de los ejércitos, diciendo:

Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

The word of the LORD of Armies came to me.

These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am angry about the fate of Zion, I am angry about her with great wrath.

Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Yo he celado á Sión con grande celo, y con grande ira la celé.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

The LORD of Armies says: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”

This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.

Así dice Jehová: Yo he restituído á Sión, y moraré en medio de Jerusalem: y Jerusalem se llamará Ciudad de Verdad, y el monte de Jehová de los ejércitos, Monte de Santidad.

Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

The LORD says: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of the LORD of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’”

This is what the Lord of armies has said: There will again be old men and old women seated in the open spaces of Jerusalem, every man with his stick in his hand because he is so old.

Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Aun han de morar viejos y viejas en las plazas de Jerusalem, y cada cual con bordón en su mano por la multitud de los días.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

The LORD of Armies says: “Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand because of their old age.

And the open spaces of the town will be full of boys and girls playing in its open spaces.

Y las calles de la ciudad serán llenas de muchachos y muchachas, que jugarán en las calles.

And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.

The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”

This is what the Lord of armies has said: If this is a wonder to the rest of this people, is it a wonder to me? says the Lord of armies.

Así dice Jehová de los ejércitos: Si esto parecerá dificultoso á los ojos del resto de este pueblo en aquellos días, ¿también será dificultoso delante de mis ojos? dice Jehová de los ejércitos.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.

The LORD of Armies says: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?” says the LORD of Armies.

This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will be the saviour of my people from the east country, and from the west country;

Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: He aquí, yo salvo mi pueblo de la tierra del oriente, y de la tierra donde se pone el sol;

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;

The LORD of Armies says: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country.

And I will make them come and be living in Jerusalem and they will be to me a people and I will be to them a God, in good faith and in righteousness.

Y traerélos, y habitarán en medio de Jerusalem; y me serán por pueblo, y yo seré á ellos por Dios con verdad y con justicia.

And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

I will bring them, and they will dwell within Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”

This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your hands be strong, you who are now hearing these words from the mouths of the prophets, that is to say, in the days when the base of the house of the Lord of armies has been put in place for the building of the house, that is the Temple.

Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Esfuércense vuestras manos, de vosotros los que oís en estos días estas palabras de la boca de los profetas, desde el día que se echó el cimiento á la casa de Jehová de los ejércitos, para edificar el templo.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

The LORD of Armies says: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of Armies was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.

For before those days there was no payment for a man's work, or for the use of a beast, and there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because of the attacker: for I had every man turned against his neighbour.

Porque antes de estos días no ha habido paga de hombre, ni paga de bestia, ni hubo paz alguna para entrante ni para saliente, á causa del enemigo: y yo dejé todos los hombres, cada cual contra su compañero.

For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.

For before those days there was no wages for man nor any wages for an animal, neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.

But now I will not be to the rest of this people as I was in the past, says the Lord of armies.

Mas ahora no lo haré con el resto de este pueblo como en aquellos días pasados, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.

But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.

But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says the LORD of Armies.

For I will let the seed of peace be planted; the vine will give her fruit and the land will give her increase and the heavens will give their dew; and I will give to the rest of this people all these things for their heritage.

Porque habrá simiente de paz; la vid dará su fruto, y dará su producto la tierra, y los cielos darán su rocío; y haré que el resto de este pueblo posea todo esto.

For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

“For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew. I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.

And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.

Y será que como fuisteis maldición entre las gentes, oh casa de Judá y casa de Israel, así os salvaré, y seréis bendición. No temáis, mas esfuércense vuestras manos.

And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”

For this is what the Lord of armies has said: As it was my purpose to do evil to you when your fathers made me angry, says the Lord of armies, and my purpose was not changed:

Porque así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Como pensé haceros mal cuando vuestros padres me provocaron á ira, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, y no me arrepentí;

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:

For the LORD of Armies says: “As I thought to do evil to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says the LORD of Armies, “and I didn’t repent,

So in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.

Así tornando he pensado de hacer bien á Jerusalem y á la casa de Judá en estos días: no temáis.

So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.

so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.

These are the things which you are to do: Let every man say what is true to his neighbour; and let your judging give peace in your towns.

Estas son las cosas que habéis de hacer: Hablad verdad cada cual con su prójimo; juzgad en vuestras puertas verdad y juicio de paz:

These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,

Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.

Y ninguno de vosotros piense mal en su corazón contra su prójimo, ni améis juramento falso: porque todas estas son cosas que aborrezco, dice Jehová.

And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath; for all these are things that I hate,” says the LORD.

And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,

Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová de los ejércitos, diciendo:

And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,

The word of the LORD of Armies came to me.

This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of peace.

Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: El ayuno del cuarto mes, y el ayuno del quinto, y el ayuno del séptimo, y el ayuno del décimo, se tornarán á la casa de Judá en gozo y alegría, y en festivas solemnidades. Amad pues verdad y paz.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

The LORD of Armies says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”

This is what the Lord of armies has said: It will again come about that when peoples and those living in great towns come,

Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Aun vendrán pueblos, y moradores de muchas ciudades;

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:

The LORD of Armies says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come.

And the people of one town go to another and say, Let us certainly go with a request for grace from the Lord, and to give worship to the Lord of armies, then I will go with you.

Y vendrán los moradores de la una á la otra, y dirán: Vamos á implorar el favor de Jehová, y á buscar á Jehová de los ejércitos. Yo también iré.

And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.

The inhabitants of one will go to another, saying, ‘Let’s go speedily to entreat the favor of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of Armies. I will go also.’

And great peoples and strong nations will come to give worship to the Lord of armies in Jerusalem and to make requests for grace from the Lord.

Y vendrán muchos pueblos y fuertes naciones á buscar á Jehová de los ejércitos en Jerusalem, y á implorar el favor de Jehová.

Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.

Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Armies in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the LORD.”

This is what the Lord of armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears that God is with you.

Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: En aquellos días acontecerá que diez hombres de todas las lenguas de las gentes, trabarán de la falda de un Judío, diciendo: Iremos con vosotros, porque hemos oído que Dios está con vosotros.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

The LORD of Armies says: “In those days, ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
