Zacarías 7
Zürcher Bibel 1931
1IM vierten Jahre des Königs Darius erging das Wort des Herrn an Sacharja; am vierten Tage des neunten Monats, im Monat Chislew,
2da sandten Bel-Sarezer und Regem-Melech Männer, um den Herrn anzuflehen
3und um die Priester am Hause des Herrn der Heerscharen und die Propheten zu befragen: Sollen wir auch fernerhin im fünften Monat trauern und fasten, wie wir es nun schon so viele Jahre getan haben? (a) Sac 8:19; Jer 52:12
4Da erging an mich das Wort des Herrn der Heerscharen:
5Sprich zu allem Volk des Landes und zu den Priestern: Wenn ihr nun schon siebzig Jahre lang im fünften und siebenten Monat gefastet und geklagt habt, habt ihr da für mich gefastet? (a) 2Kön 25:25
6Und wenn ihr esst und wenn ihr trinkt, esst ihr da nicht für euch, und trinkt ihr nicht für euch?
7Sind nicht dies die Worte, die der Herr durch die frühern Propheten hat verkünden lassen, als Jerusalem samt den umliegenden Städten noch bewohnt und ruhig war und auch das Südland und die Niederung noch bewohnt war?
8Und es erging an Sacharja das Wort des Herrn:
9So spricht der Herr der Heerscharen: "Pflegt wahrhaftiges Recht und übt Güte und Barmherzigkeit gegeneinander! (a) Mi 6:8
10Bedrückt nicht Witwen und Waisen, Fremdlinge und Arme, und sinnt nicht auf Arges widereinander in eurem Herzen!" (a) 2Mo 22:21 22; Jes 1:17 23; Jer 7:5 6
11Sie aber weigerten sich, darauf zu merken, sie waren halsstarrig und machten ihre Ohren taub. (1) d.h. die Väter.
12Sie machten ihr Herz hart wie Diamant, sodass sie die Weisung und die Worte nicht hörten, die der Herr der Heerscharen durch seinen Geist mittelst der frühern Propheten sandte. So kam denn vom Herrn der Heerscharen ein gewaltiger Zorn (über sie). (a) Jes 48:4; Jer 5:3
13Und wie er rief, sie aber nicht hörten - ebenso, sprach nun der Herr der Heerscharen, sollen sie jetzt rufen, ich aber werde nicht hören. (a) Jes 1:15; Jer 11:11
14Und ich verwehte sie wie ein Sturm über alle Völker, die ihnen unbekannt waren, und hinter ihnen wurde das Land verödet, sodass niemand mehr hin und her zog, und so machten sie das liebliche Land zur Wüste.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y ACONTECIÓ en el año cuarto del rey Darío, que fué palabra de Jehová á Zacarías á los cuatro del mes noveno, que es Chisleu;
2Cuando fué enviado á la casa de Dios, Saraser, con Regem-melech y sus hombres, á implorar el favor de Jehová,
3Y á hablar á los sacerdotes que estaban en la casa de Jehová de los ejércitos, y á los profetas, diciendo: ¿Lloraremos en el mes quinto? ¿haremos abstinencia como hemos hecho ya algunos años?
4Fué pues á mí palabra de Jehová de los ejércitos, diciendo:
5Habla á todo el pueblo del país, y á los sacerdotes, diciendo: Cuando ayunasteis y llorasteis en el quinto y en el séptimo mes estos setenta años, ¿habéis ayunado para mí?
6Y cuando coméis y bebéis, ¿no coméis y bebéis para vosotros?
7¿No son estas las palabras que publicó Jehová por mano de los profetas primeros, cuando Jerusalem estaba habitada y quieta, y sus ciudades en sus alrededores, y el mediodía y la campiña se habitaban?
8Y fué palabra de Jehová á Zacarías, diciendo:
9Así habló Jehová de los ejércitos, diciendo: Juzgad juicio verdadero, y haced misericordia y piedad cada cual con su hermano:
10No agraviéis á la viuda, ni al huérfano, ni al extranjero, ni al pobre; ni ninguno piense mal en su corazón contra su hermano.
11Empero no quisieron escuchar, antes dieron hombro rebelado, y agravaron sus oídos para no oir:
12Y pusieron su corazón como diamante, para no oir la ley ni las palabras que Jehová de los ejércitos enviaba por su espíritu, por mano de los profetas primeros: fué, por tanto, hecho grande castigo por Jehová de los ejércitos.
13Y aconteció que como él clamó, y no escucharon, así ellos clamaron, y yo no escuché, dice Jehová de los ejércitos;
14Antes los esparcí con torbellino por todas las gentes que ellos no conocían, y la tierra fué desolada tras de ellos, sin quedar quien fuese ni viniese; pues tornaron en asolamiento el país deseable.
King James Version
1And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;
2When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
3And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
4Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
5Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
6And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
8And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
9Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
10And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
13Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
14But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
World English Bible
1In the fourth year of King Darius, the LORD’s word came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
2The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech and their men to entreat the LORD’s favor,
3and to speak to the priests of the house of the LORD of Armies and to the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?”
4Then the word of the LORD of Armies came to me, saying,
5“Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?
6When you eat and when you drink, don’t you eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves?
7Aren’t these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?’”
8The LORD’s word came to Zechariah, saying,
9“Thus has the LORD of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.
10Don’t oppress the widow, the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’
11But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
12Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law and the words which the LORD of Armies had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the LORD of Armies.
13It has come to pass that, as he called and they refused to listen, so they will call and I will not listen,” said the LORD of Armies;
14“but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate.”
