스가랴 1

1다리오 왕 이년 팔월에 여호와의 말씀이 잇도의 손자 베레갸의 아들 선지자 스가랴에게 임하니라 가라사대 2나 여호와가 무리의 열조에게 심히 진노하였느니라 3그러므로 너는 무리에게 고하기를 만군의 여호와께서 이처럼 이르시되 너희는 내게로 돌아오라 나 만군의 여호와의 말이니라 그리하면 내가 너희에게로 돌아가리라 나 만군의 여호와의 말이니라 4너희 열조를 본받지 말라 옛적 선지자들이 그들에게 외쳐 가로되 만군의 여호와께서 말씀하시기를 너희가 악한 길, 악한 행실을 떠나서 돌아오라 하셨다 하나 그들이 듣지 않고 내게 귀를 기울이지 아니하였느니라 나 여호와의 말이니라 5너희 열조가 어디 있느냐 선지자들이 영원히 살겠느냐 6내가 종 선지자들에게 명한 내 말과 내 전례들이 어찌 네 열조에게 임하지 아니하였느냐 그러므로 그들이 돌쳐 이르기를 만군의 여호와께서 우리 길대로 우리 행위대로 우리에게 행하시려고 뜻하신 것을 우리에게 행하셨도다 하였다 하셨느니라 하라 7다리오 왕 이년 십일월 곧 스밧월 이십사일에 잇도의 손자 베레갸의 아들 선지자 스가랴에게 여호와의 말씀이 임하여 이르시니라 8내가 밤에 보니 사람이 홍마를 타고 골짜기 속 화석류나무 사이에 섰고 그 뒤에는 홍마와 자마와 백마가 있기로 9내가 가로되 내 주여 이들이 무엇이니이까 내게 말하는 천사가 내게 이르되 이들이 무엇인지 내가 네게 보이리라 하매 10화석류나무 사이에 선 자가 대답하여 가로되 이는 여호와께서 땅에 두루 다니라고 보내신 자들이니라 11그들이 화석류나무 사이에 선 여호와의 사자에게 고하되 우리가 땅에 두루 다녀보니 온 땅이 평안하여 정온하더이다 12여호와의 사자가 응하여 가로되 만군의 여호와여 여호와께서 언제까지 예루살렘과 유다 성읍들을 긍휼히 여기지 아니하시려나이까 이를 노하신지 칠십 년이 되었나이다 하매 13여호와께서 내게 말하는 천사에게 선한 말씀, 위로하는 말씀으로 대답하시더라 14내게 말하는 천사가 내게 이르되 너는 외쳐 이르기를 만군의 여호와의 말씀에 내가 예루살렘을 위하며 시온을 위하여 크게 질투하며 15안일한 열국을 심히 진노하나니 나는 조금만 노하였거늘 그들은 힘을 내어 고난을 더하였음이라 16그러므로 여호와가 이처럼 말하노라 내가 긍휼히 여기므로 예루살렘에 돌아왔은즉 내 집이 그 가운데 건축되리니 예루살렘 위에 먹줄이 치어지리라 나 만군의 여호와의 말이니라 하셨다 하라 17다시 외쳐 이르기를 만군의 여호와의 말씀에 나의 성읍들이 넘치도록 다시 풍부할 것이라 여호와가 다시 시온을 안위하여 다시 예루살렘을 택하리라 하셨다 하라 18내가 눈을 들어 본즉 네 뿔이 보이기로 19이에 내게 말하는 천사에게 묻되 이들이 무엇이니이까 내게 대답하되 이들은 유다와 이스라엘과 예루살렘을 헤친 뿔이니라 20때에 여호와께서 공장 네 명을 내게 보이시기로 21내가 가로되 그들이 무엇하러 왔나이까 하매 대답하여 가라사대 그 뿔들이 유다를 헤쳐서 사람으로 능히 머리를 들지 못하게 하매 이 공장들이 와서 그것들을 두렵게 하고 이전에 뿔들을 들어 유다 땅을 헤친 열국의 뿔을 떨어 치려 하느니라 하시더라

1In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, Yahweh’s word came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying, 2“Yahweh was very displeased with your fathers. 3Therefore tell them: Thus says Yahweh of Armies: ‘Return to me,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will return to you,’ says Yahweh of Armies. 4Don’t you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says Yahweh of Armies, ‘Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;’ but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says Yahweh. 5Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever? 6But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn’t they overtake your fathers? “Then they repented and said, ‘Just as Yahweh of Armies determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.’” 7On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, Yahweh’s word came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying, 8“I had a vision in the night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses. 9Then I asked, ‘My lord, what are these?’” The angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.” 10The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered, “They are the ones Yahweh has sent to go back and forth through the earth.” 11They reported to Yahweh’s angel who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked back and forth through the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and in peace.” 12Then Yahweh’s angel replied, “O Yahweh of Armies, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?” 13Yahweh answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words. 14So the angel who talked with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 15I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity.” 16Therefore thus says Yahweh: “I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and a line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.”’ 17“Proclaim further, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem.”’” 18I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four horns. 19I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” He answered me, “These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” 20Yahweh showed me four craftsmen. 21Then I asked, “What are these coming to do?” He said, “These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

1In de achtste maand, in het tweede jaar van Darius, geschiedde het woord des HEEREN tot Zacharia, den zoon van Berechja, den zoon van Iddo, den profeet, zeggende: 2De HEERE is zeer vertoornd geweest tegen uw vaderen. 3Daarom zeg tot hen: Alzo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen: Keert weder tot Mij, spreekt de HEERE der heirscharen, zo zal Ik weder tot ulieden keren, zegt de HEERE der heirscharen. 4Weest niet als uw vaderen, tot dewelke de vorige profeten riepen, zeggende: Alzo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen: Bekeert u toch van uw boze wegen, en uw boze handelingen; maar zij hoorden niet, en zij luisterden niet naar Mij, spreekt de HEERE. 5Uw vaderen, waar zijn die? En de profeten, zullen zij in eeuwigheid leven? 6Nochtans Mijn woorden en Mijn inzettingen, die Ik Mijn knechten, den profeten, geboden had, hebben zij uw vaders niet getroffen? zodat zij wederkerende zeiden: Gelijk als de HEERE der heirscharen gedacht heeft ons te doen, naar onze wegen en naar onze handelingen, alzo heeft Hij met ons gedaan. 7Op den vier en twintigsten dag, in de elfde maand (die de maand Schebat is), in het tweede jaar van Darius, geschiedde het woord des HEEREN tot Zacharia, den zoon van Berechja, den zoon van Iddo, den profeet, zeggende: 8Ik zag des nachts, en ziet, een Man rijdende op een rood paard, en Hij stond tussen de mirten, die in de diepte waren; en achter Hem waren rode, bruine en witte paarden. 9En Ik zeide: Mijn Heere! wat zijn deze? Toen zeide tot mij de Engel, Die met mij sprak: Ik zal u tonen, wat deze zijn. 10Toen antwoordde de Man, Die tussen de mirten stond, en zeide: Deze zijn het, die de HEERE uitgezonden heeft, om het land te doorwandelen. 11En zij antwoordden den Engel des HEEREN, Die tussen de mirten stond, en zeiden: Wij hebben het land doorwandeld, en ziet, het ganse land zit en het is stil. 12Toen antwoordde den Engel des HEEREN, en zeide: HEERE der heirscharen! hoe lang zult Gij U niet ontfermen over Jeruzalem, en over de steden van Juda, op welke Gij gram geweest zijt, deze zeventig jaren? 13En de HEERE antwoordde den Engel, Die met mij sprak, goede woorden, troostelijke woorden. 14En de Engel, Die met mij sprak, zeide tot mij: Roep uit, zeggende: Alzo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen: Ik ijver over Jeruzalem en over Sion met een groten ijver. 15En Ik ben met een zeer groten toorn vertoornd tegen die geruste heidenen; want Ik was een weinig toornig, maar zij hebben ten kwade geholpen. 16Daarom zegt de HEERE alzo: Ik ben tot Jeruzalem wedergekeerd met ontfermingen; Mijn huis zal daarin gebouwd worden, spreekt de HEERE der heirscharen, en het richtsnoer zal over Jeruzalem uitgestrekt worden. 17Roep nog, zeggende: Alzo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen: Mijn steden zullen nog uitgespreid worden vanwege het goede; want de HEERE zal Sion nog troosten, en Hij zal Jeruzalem nog verkiezen. 18En ik hief mijn ogen op, en zag; en ziet, er waren vier hoornen. 19En ik zeide tot den Engel, Die met mij sprak: Wat zijn deze? En Hij zeide tot mij: Dat zijn de hoornen, welke Juda, Israel en Jeruzalem verstrooid hebben. 20En de HEERE toonde mij vier smeden. 21Toen zeide ik: Wat komen die maken? En Hij sprak, zeggende: Dat zijn de hoornen, die Juda verstrooid hebben, zodat niemand zijn hoofd ophief; maar deze zijn gekomen om die te verschrikken, om de hoornen der heidenen neder te werpen, welke den hoorn verheven hebben tegen het land van Juda, om dat te verstrooien.
