Zacarías 9
Diodati 1885
1IL carico della parola del Signore contro al paese di Hadrac, e contro a Damasco, luogo del suo riposo: Perciocchè al Signore si volge l'occhio degli uomini, e di tutte le tribù d'Israele.
2Ed egli porrà eziandio i termini ad Hamat, e a Tiro, ed a Sidon; benchè quelle città sieno grandemente savie;
3e che Tiro si sia edificata una fortezza, ed abbia ammassato dell'argento, a guisa del fango delle strade.
4Ecco, il Signore la scaccerà, e percoterà i suoi ripari, e li getterà nel mare, ed ella sarà consumata col fuoco.
5Aschelon lo vedrà, e temerà; Gaza anch'ella, e sentirà gran doglia; come anche Ecron; perciocchè quella a cui ella riguardava sarà confusa; e il re perirà di Gaza, ed Aschelon non sarà più abitata.
6E de' bastardi abiteranno in Asdod, ed io distruggerò l'alterezza dei Filistei.
7E torrò il lor sangue dalla lor bocca, e le loro abbominazioni d'infra i lor denti; e ciò che sarà rimasto apparterrà anch'esso all'Iddio nostro, e sarà come un capo in Giuda; ma Ecron sarà come il Gebuseo.
8Ed io mi accamperò intorno alla mia Casa, per difenderla da esercito, da chi va e viene; e l'oppressore non passerà più a loro; perciocchè ora io l'ho riguardata con gli occhi miei.
9Festeggia grandemente, o figliuola di Sion; giubila, figliuola di Gerusalemme. Ecco, il tuo Re, giusto, e Salvatore, umile, e montato sopra un asino, anzi sopra un puledro d'infra le asine, verrà a te.
10Ed io sterminerò di Efraim i carri, e di Gerusalemme i cavalli; e gli archi di guerra saran distrutti; e quel Re parlerà di pace alle nazioni; e la sua signoria sarà da un mare all'altro, e dal Fiume fino agli estremi termini della terra.
11Quant'è a te, ancora, o Sion, per lo sangue del tuo patto, io ho messi in libertà i tuoi prigioni fuor della fossa, ove non era acqua alcuna.
12Ritornate alla fortezza, o prigioni di speranza; ancor oggi ti annunzio che io ti renderò de' beni al doppio.
13Perciocchè io mi ho teso Giuda, come un arco; io ho impugnato Efraim a piena mano, ed ho destati i tuoi figliuoli, o Sion, contro a' tuoi figliuoli, o Iavan; e ti ho renduta simile alla spada di un uomo prode.
14E il Signore apparirà di sopra a loro, e le sue saette saranno tratte, a guisa di folgori; e il Signore Iddio sonerà con la tromba, e camminerà co' turbini dell'Austro.
15Il Signor degli eserciti sarà lor protettore; ed essi mangeranno, e ribatteranno le pietre delle frombole; e berranno, e romoreggeranno, come per lo vino; e saran ripieni, come il bacino, come i canti dell'altare.
16E il Signore Iddio loro li salverà in quel giorno, come la greggia del suo popolo; perciocchè pietre coronate saran rizzate per insegne sopra la sua terra.
17Perciocchè quanta sarà la sua bontà? e quanta la sua bellezza? il frumento farà crescere e fiorire i giovani, e il mosto le fanciulle.
Reina-Valera 1909
1CARGA de la palabra de Jehová contra tierra de Hadrach, y de Damasco su reposo: porque á Jehová están vueltos los ojos de los hombres, y de todas las tribus de Israel.
2Y también Hamath tendrá término en ella; Tiro y Sidón, aunque muy sabia sea.
3Bien que Tiro se edificó fortaleza, y amontonó plata como polvo, y oro como lodo de las calles,
4He aquí, el Señor la empobrecerá, y herirá en la mar su fortaleza, y ella será consumida de fuego.
5Ascalón verá, y temerá; Gaza también, y se dolerá en gran manera: asimismo Ecrón, porque su esperanza será confundida; y de Gaza perecerá el rey, y Ascalón no será habitada.
6Y habitará en Asdod un extranjero, y yo talaré la soberbia de los Palestinos;
7Y quitaré sus sangres de su boca, y sus abominaciones de sus dientes, y quedarán ellos también para nuestro Dios, y serán como capitanes en Judá, y Ecrón como el Jebuseo.
8Y seré real de ejército á mi casa, á causa del que va y del que viene: y no pasará más sobre ellos angustiador; porque ahora miré con mis ojos.
9Alégrate mucho, hija de Sión; da voces de júbilo, hija de Jerusalem: he aquí, tu rey vendrá á ti, justo y salvador, humilde, y cabalgando sobre un asno, así sobre un pollino hijo de asna.
10Y de Ephraim destruiré los carros, y los caballos de Jerusalem; y los arcos de guerra serán quebrados: y hablará paz á las gentes; y su señorío será de mar á mar, y desde el río hasta los fines de la tierra.
11Y tú también por la sangre de tu pacto serás salva; yo he sacado tus presos del aljibe en que no hay agua.
12Tornaos á la fortaleza, oh presos de esperanza: hoy también os anuncio que os daré doblado.
13Porque entesado he para mí á Judá como arco, henchí á Ephraim; y despertaré tus hijos, oh Sión, contra tus hijos, oh Grecia, y te pondré como espada de valiente.
14Y Jehová será visto sobre ellos, y su dardo saldrá como relámpago: y el Señor Jehová tocará trompeta, é irá como torbellinos del austro.
15Jehová de los ejércitos los amparará, y ellos devorarán, y sujetarán á las piedras de la honda, y beberán, y harán estrépito como tomados del vino; y se llenarán como cuenco, ó como los lados del altar.
16Y los salvará en aquel día Jehová su Dios como á rebaño de su pueblo: porque serán engrandecidos en su tierra como piedras de corona.
17Porque ¡cuánta es su bondad, y cuánta su hermosura! El trigo alegrará á los mancebos, y el vino á las doncellas.
King James Version
1The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD.
2And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
3And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
4Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
5Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
11As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
12Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
13When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
14And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
15The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.
16And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
17For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
World English Bible
1A revelation. The LORD’s word is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus— for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD—
2and Hamath, also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
3Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
4Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.
5Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8I will encamp around my house against the army, that no one pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.
9Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem. The battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations. His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
11As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
12Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
13For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have loaded the bow with Ephraim. I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
14The LORD will be seen over them. His arrow will flash like lightning. The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
15The LORD of Armies will defend them. They will destroy and overcome with sling stones. They will drink, and roar as through wine. They will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
16The LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
17For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
