Zacarías 8
Nova Versão de Acesso Livre
1A palavra de Yahweh dos Exércitos veio a mim, dizendo:
2"Assim diz Yahweh dos Exércitos: 'Tenho por Sião grande zelo; tenho por ela ardente zelo com grande ira!'
3Assim diz Yahweh dos Exércitos: 'Voltarei para Sião e viverei no meio de Jerusalém, porque Jerusalém será chamada 'A Cidade da Verdade' e o monte de Yahweh dos Exércitos será chamado 'O Monte Santo!'".
4Assim diz Yahweh dos Exércitos: "Homens e mulheres idosos voltarão a andar pelas ruas de Jerusalém, cada um com sua bengala por causa da idade avançada.
5As ruas da cidade estarão cheias de meninos e meninas brincando nelas".
6Assim diz Yahweh dos Exércitos: "Se isso parece impossível aos olhos do remanescente deste povo naqueles dias, será que também parece impossível aos Meus olhos?" — esta é a declaração de Yahweh.
7Assim diz Yahweh dos Exércitos: "Eis que estou prestes a resgatar o Meu povo da terra do oriente e da terra do ocidente!
8Porque os trarei de volta e viverão no meio de Jerusalém. Assim, voltarão a ser Meu povo e serei Seu Deus em verdade e em retidão!".
9Assim diz Yahweh dos Exércitos: "Vós que, agora, continuais ouvindo as mesmas palavras que vieram das bocas dos profetas, quando o alicerce da Minha casa foi lançado, fortalecei as vossas mãos para que o templo seja construído.
10Porque, antes daqueles dias, ninguém realizou colheita alguma, não havia salário para os homens nem os animais lhes davam ganho, por causa do inimigo, não havia paz para quem saía ou entrava. Coloquei cada um contra o seu próximo".
11"Mas agora não será como nos dias antigos. Eu estarei com o remanescente deste povo" — esta é a declaração de Yahweh dos Exércitos.
12"Porque sementes de paz serão semeadas; a videira dará o seu fruto e a terra dará o seu alimento; os céus darão o seu orvalho, porque farei o remanescente deste povo herdar todas estas coisas".
13"Casa de Judá e casa de Israel, vós fostes um exemplo de maldição para as outras nações. Então, hei de vos resgatar e sereis uma bênção. Não tenhais medo; fortalecei as vossas mãos!".
14Porque Yahweh dos Exércitos diz: "assim como planejei lhes fazer mal quando os vossos antepassados provocaram a Minha ira e não voltei atrás, diz Yahweh dos Exércitos,
15assim também planejarei nestes dias fazer, novamente, o bem a Jerusalém e à casa de Judá! Não temais!".
16"Eis o que deveis fazer: falar a verdade, cada um ao seu próximo; julgar com verdade, justiça e paz em seus portões;
17não planejar, em vosso coração, fazer o mal um ao outro; e não amar juramentos falsos — porque abomino essas coisas! — esta é a declaração de Yahweh".
18Depois, a palavra de Yahweh dos Exércitos veio a mim, dizendo:
19"Yahweh dos Exércitos diz isto: 'os jejuns, ao quarto mês, ao quinto mês, ao sétimo mês e ao décimo mês, se tornarão tempos de júbilo, alegria e festivais solenes para a casa de Judá! Portanto, ameis a verdade e a paz!'".
20Assim diz Yahweh dos Exércitos: "o povo retornará, até os que vivem em muitas cidades diferentes.
21Os moradores de uma cidade irão para outra cidade e dirão: 'Vamos, rapidamente, suplicar diante da face de Yahweh e buscar Yahweh dos Exércitos!'.
22Muitas pessoas e nações poderosas buscarão Yahweh dos Exércitos em Jerusalém e implorarão pelo favor de Yahweh!".
23Assim diz Yahweh dos Exércitos: "Naqueles dias, dez homens de cada língua e nação apanharão a bainha da vossa túnica e dirão: 'Deixai que vos acompanhemos, porque ouvimos que Deus é convosco!'".
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová de los ejércitos, diciendo:
2Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Yo he celado á Sión con grande celo, y con grande ira la celé.
3Así 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.
4Así 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.
5Y las calles de la ciudad serán llenas de muchachos y muchachas, que jugarán en las calles.
6Así 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.
7Así 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;
8Y traerélos, y habitarán en medio de Jerusalem; y me serán por pueblo, y yo seré á ellos por Dios con verdad y con justicia.
9Así 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.
10Porque 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.
11Mas ahora no lo haré con el resto de este pueblo como en aquellos días pasados, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
12Porque 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.
13Y 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.
14Porque 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;
15Así tornando he pensado de hacer bien á Jerusalem y á la casa de Judá en estos días: no temáis.
16Estas son las cosas que habéis de hacer: Hablad verdad cada cual con su prójimo; juzgad en vuestras puertas verdad y juicio de paz:
17Y ninguno de vosotros piense mal en su corazón contra su prójimo, ni améis juramento falso: porque todas estas son cosas que aborrezco, dice Jehová.
18Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová de los ejércitos, diciendo:
19Así 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.
20Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Aun vendrán pueblos, y moradores de muchas ciudades;
21Y 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.
22Y vendrán muchos pueblos y fuertes naciones á buscar á Jehová de los ejércitos en Jerusalem, y á implorar el favor de Jehová.
23Así 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.
King James Version
1Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
2Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3Thus 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.
4Thus 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.
5And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6Thus 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.
7Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8And 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.
9Thus 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.
10For 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.
11But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
12For 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.
13And 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.
14For 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:
15So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
16These 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:
17And 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.
18And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
19Thus 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.
20Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
21And 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.
22Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
23Thus 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.
World English Bible
1The word of the LORD of Armies came to me.
2The LORD of Armies says: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
3The 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.’”
4The 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.
5The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”
6The 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.
7The LORD of Armies says: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country.
8I 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.”
9The 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.
10For 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.
11But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says the LORD of Armies.
12“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.
13It 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.”
14For 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,
15so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
16These 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,
17and 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.
18The word of the LORD of Armies came to me.
19The 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.”
20The LORD of Armies says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come.
21The 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.’
22Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Armies in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the LORD.”
23The 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.’”
