Zechariah 9

The 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.
Et Udsagn: HERRENs Ord er over Hadraks Land, i Damaskus slår det sig ned - thi Aram forbrød sig mod HERREN - det er over alle, som hader Israel,
And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
også over Hamat, som grænser dertil, Tyrus og Zidon, thi det er såre viist.
And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Tyrus bygged sig en Fæstning og ophobed Sølv som Støv og Guld som Gadeskarn.
Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Se, Herren vil tage det i Eje og styrte dets Bolværk i Havet. det selv skal fortæres af Ild.
Ashkelon 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.
Askalon ser det og frygter, Gaza og Ekron skælver voldsomt, thi Håbet brast. Gaza mister sin Konge, i Askalon skal ingen bo,
And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
i Asdod skal Udskud bo, Jeg gør Ende på Filisterens Hovmod,
And 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.
tager Blodet ud af hans Mund og Væmmelsen bort fra hans Tænder. Også han bliver reddet for vor Gud, han bliver som en Slægt i Juda, Ekron som, en, Jebusit.
And 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.
Som en Vagt lejrer jeg mig formit Hus mod dem, som kommer og går; aldrig mer skal en Voldsmand gå igennem deres Land, thi nu har jeg set det med mine egne Øjne.
Rejoice 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.
Fryd dig såre, Zions Datter, råb med Glæde, Jerusalems Datter! Se, din Konge kommer til dig. Retfærdig og sejrrig er han, ydmyg, ridende på et Æsel, på en Asenindes Føl.
And 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.
Han udrydder Vognene af Efraim, Hestene af Jerusalem, Stridsbuerne ryddes til Side. Hans Ord stifter Fred mellem Folkene, han hersker fra Hav til Hav, fra Floden til Jordens Ende.
As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
For Pagtblodets Skyld vil jeg også slippe dine Fanger ud, ja ud af den vandløse Brønd.
Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
Hjem til Borgen, I Fanger med Håb! Også i Dag forkyndes: Jeg giver dig tvefold Bod!
When 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.
Thi jeg spænder mig Juda som Bue, lægger Efraim på som Pil og vækker dine Sønner, Zion, imod dine Sønner, Javan. Jeg gør dig som Heltens Sværd.
And 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.
Over dem viser sig Herren, hans Pil farer ud som et Lyn. Den Herre HERREN støder i Horn, skrider frem i Søndenstorm;
The 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.
dem værner Hærskarers HERRE. De opæder, nedtramper Slyngekasterne, drikker deres Blod som Vin og fyldes som Offerskålen, som Alterets Hjørner.
And 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.
HERREN deres Gud skal på denne Dag frelse dem som sit Folks Hjord; thi de er Kronesten, der funkler over hans Land.
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
Hvor det er dejligt, hvor skønt! Thi Korn giver blomstrende Ungersvende, Most giver blomstrende Møer.
