11 G2532 And G544 they resisted G3588 G4337 to take heed, G2532 and G1325 they gave G3577 their backside G3912 ranting, G2532 and G3588 G3775 [²their ears G1473 G925 ¹pressed] G3588 G3361 to not G1522 listen,

12 G2532 and G3588 G2588 their heart G1473 G5021 was ordered G545 for resisting persuasion, G3588 G3361 to not G1522 listen to G3588 G3551 my law, G1473 G2532 and G3588 the G3056 words G3739 which G1821 [³sent out G2962 ¹ the lord G3841 ²almighty] G1722 by G4151 his spirit, G1473 G1722 by G5495 the hands G3588 of the G4396 prophets, G3588 of the ones G1715 before. G2532 And G1096 there was G3709 [²anger G3173 ¹great] G3844 by G2962 the lord G3841 almighty.

13 G2532 And G1510.8.3 it will be G3739 in which G5158 manner G2036 I spoke, G2532 and G3756 they did not G1522 listen to G1473 him, G3779 so G2896 they shall cry out, G2532 and G3766.2 in no way G1522 shall I listen, G3004 says G2962 the lord G3841 almighty.

14 G2532 And G1544 I will cast them G1473 G1519 into G3956 all G3588 the G1484 nations G3739 which G3756 they did not G1097 know.

1 H702 And it came to pass in the fourth H8141 year H4428 of king H1867 Darius, H1697 that the word H3068 of the LORD H2148 came to Zechariah H702 in the fourth H8671 day of the ninth H2320 month, H3691 even in Chisleu;

2 H7971 [H8799] When they had sent H1004 to the house H410 of God H8272 Sherezer H7278 and Regemmelech, H582 and their men, H2470 [H8763] to pray H6440 at the face of H3068 the LORD,

3 H559 [H8800] And to speak H3548 to the priests H1004 who were in the house H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts, H5030 and to the prophets, H559 [H8800] saying, H1058 [H8799] Should I weep H2549 in the fifth H2320 month, H5144 [H8736] separating H6213 [H8804] myself, as I have done H8141 these so many years?

4 H1697 Then came the word H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts H559 [H8800] to me, saying,

5 H559 [H8798] Speak H5971 to all the people H776 of the land, H3548 and to the priests, H559 [H8800] saying, H6684 [H8804] When ye fasted H5594 [H8800] and mourned H2549 in the fifth H7637 and seventh H7657 month, even those seventy H8141 years, H6684 [H8800] did ye at all H6684 [H8804] fast to me, even to me?

6 H398 [H8799] And when ye ate, H8354 [H8799] and when ye drank, H398 [H8802] did ye not eat H8354 [H8802] for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

7 H1697 Should ye not hear the words H3068 which the LORD H7121 [H8804] hath called H3027 by H7223 the former H5030 prophets, H3389 when Jerusalem H3427 [H8802] was inhabited H7961 and in prosperity, H5892 and its cities H5439 around it, H3427 [H8802] when men inhabited H5045 the south H8219 and the plain?

8 H1697 And the word H3068 of the LORD H2148 came to Zechariah, H559 [H8800] saying,

9 H559 [H8804] Thus speaketh H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts, H559 [H8800] saying, H8199 [H8798] Execute H571 true H4941 judgment, H6213 [H8798] and show H2617 mercy H7356 and compassions H376 every man H251 to his brother:

10 H6231 [H8799] And oppress H490 not the widow, H3490 nor the fatherless, H1616 the guest, H6041 nor the poor; H2803 [H8799] and let none of you imagine H7451 evil H376 against H251 his brother H3824 in your heart.

11 H3985 [H8762] But they refused H7181 [H8687] to hearken, H5414 H5637 [H8799] and withdrew H3802 the shoulder, H3513 [H8689] and stopped H241 their ears, H8085 [H8800] that they should not hear.

12 H7760 [H8804] Yea, they made H3820 their hearts H8068 as an adamant stone, H8085 [H8800] lest they should hear H8451 the law, H1697 and the words H3068 which the LORD H6635 of hosts H7971 [H8804] hath sent H7307 in his spirit H3027 by H7223 the former H5030 prophets: H1419 therefore came a great H7110 splintering rage H3068 from the LORD H6635 of hosts.

13 H7121 [H8804] Therefore it is come to pass, that as he called, H8085 [H8804] and they would not hear; H7121 [H8799] so they called, H8085 [H8799] and I would not hear, H559 [H8804] saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts:

14 H5590 [H8762] But I scattered them with a whirlwind H1471 among all the nations H3045 [H8804] whom they knew H776 not. Thus the land H8074 [H8738] was desolate H310 after H5674 [H8802] them, that no man passed through H7725 [H8802] nor returned: H7760 [H8799] for they laid H2532 the pleasant H776 land H8047 desolate.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ It happened also in the fourth yeare of kynge Darius, that the worde of the LORDE came vnto Zachary in the fourth daye of the ix. moneth, which is calleth Casleu: ² what tyme as Sarasar and Rogomelech and the men that were with them, sent vnto Bethel for to praye before ye LORDE: ³ and that they shulde saye vnto the prestes, which were in the house of the LORDE of hoostes, and to the prophetes: Shulde I wepe in the fyfte moneth, and absteyne, as I haue done now certayne yeares? ⁴ Then came the worde of the LORDE of hoostes vnto me, sayenge: ⁵ Speake vnto all the people of the londe, and to the prestes, and saye: when ye fasted and mourned in the v & vij. moneth (now this lxx. yeares) dyd ye fast vnto me? ⁶ When ye ate also and dronke, dyd ye not eate and drinke for youre owne selues? ⁷ Are not these the wordes, which the LORDE spake by his prophetes afore tyme, when Ierusalem was yet inhabited and welthy, she and the cities rounde aboute her: when there dwelt me, both towarde the south and in the playne countrees? ⁸ And the worde of the LORDE came vnto Zachary, sayenge: ⁹ Thus saieth ye LORDE of hoostes: Execute true iudgment: shewe mercy and louynge kyndnesse, euery man to his brother: ¹⁰ Do the wyddowe, the fatherlesse, the straunger, and poore no wronge: and let no man ymagen euell agaynst his brother in his hert. ¹¹ Neuertheles they wolde not take hede, but turned their backes, and stopped their eares, that they shulde not heare. ¹² yee they made their hertes as an Adamant stone, lest they shulde heare the lawe & wordes, which the LORDE of hoostes sent in his holy sprete by the prophetes afore tyme. Wherfore the LORDE of hoostes was very wroth at them. ¹³ And thus is it come to passe, that like as he spake and they wolde not heare: euen so they cried, and I wolde not heare (saieth the LORDE of hoostes) ¹⁴ but scatered them amonge all Gentiles, whom they knewe not. Thus the londe was made so desolate, yt there traualed no man in it nether to ner fro, for that pleasaunt londe was vtterly layed waist.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ It happened also in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, which is called Chislev. ² What time as Sharezer and Regemmelech and the men that were with them, sent unto Bethel for to pray before the LORD: ³ and that they should say unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of Hosts, and to the prophets, "Should I weep in the fifth month, and abstain, as I have done now certain years?" ⁴ Then came the word of the LORD of Hosts unto me, saying, ⁵ "Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, and say, 'When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, now this seventy years, did ye fast unto me? ⁶ When ye ate also and drank, did ye not eat and drink for your own selves? ⁷ Are not these the words, which the LORD spake by his prophets afore time, when Jerusalem was yet inhabited and wealthy, she and the cities round about her: when there dwelt men, both toward the south and in the plain countries?'" ⁸ And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, ⁹ "Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts, 'Execute true judgment, and show mercy and loving-kindness, every man to his brother. ¹⁰ Do the widow, the fatherless, the stranger, and poor no wrong: and let no man imagine evil against his brother in his heart." ¹¹ Nevertheless, they would not take heed, but turned their backs and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. ¹² Yea, they made their hearts as an Adamant stone lest they should hear the law and words, which the LORD of Hosts sent in his holy spirit by the prophets afore time. Wherefore the LORD of Hosts was very wroth at them. ¹³ And thus is it come to pass, that like as he spake and they would not hear: "Even so, they cried and I would not hear, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, ¹⁴ but scattered them among all Gentiles, whom they knew not. Thus the land was made so desolate, that there traveled no man in it neither to nor fro, for that pleasant land was utterly laid waste."

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And in the fourth yeere of King Darius, the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth moneth, euen in Chisleu, ² For they had sent vnto the House of God Sharezer, and Regem-melech and their men to pray before the Lord, ³ And to speake vnto the Priests, which were in the House of the Lord of hostes, and to the Prophets, saying, Should I weepe in the fift moneth, and separate my selfe as I haue done these so many yeeres? ⁴ Then came the word of the Lord of hostes vnto me, saying, ⁵ Speake vnto all the people of the land, and to the Priests, and say, When ye fasted, and mourned in the fift and seuenth moneth, euen the seuentie yeeres, did ye fast vnto me? doe I approoue it? ⁶ And when ye did eate, and when ye did drinke, did ye not eate for your selues, and drinke for your selues? ⁷ Should ye not heare the wordes, which the Lord hath cryed by the ministerie of the former Prophets when Ierusalem was inhabited, and in prosperitie, and the cities thereof round about her, when the South and the plaine was inhabited? ⁸ And the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah, saying, ⁹ Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, Execute true iudgement, and shewe mercy and compassion, euery man to his brother, ¹⁰ And oppresse not the widowe, nor the fatherles, the stranger nor the poore, and let none of you imagine euil against his brother in your heart. ¹¹ But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their eares, that they should not heare. ¹² Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, least they should heare the Lawe and the wordes which the Lord of hostes sent in his spirit by the ministerie of ye former Prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hostes. ¹³ Therefore it is come to passe, that as he cried, and they would not heare, so they cried, and I would not heare, sayth the Lord of hostes. ¹⁴ But I scattered them among all the nations, whom they knew not: thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they layd the pleasant land waste.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius that the word of the Lord came unto Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, in Kislev; ² When they had sent unto Beth-el Sherezer and Regem-melech, and his men, to make entreaty before the Lord. ³ And to say unto the priests who were in the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Shall I weep in the fifth month with abstinence, as I have done already these many years? ⁴ Then came the word of the Lord of hosts unto me, saying, ⁵ Say unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, as followeth, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, already these seventy years, did ye in anywise fast for me, yea, for me? ⁶ And if ye do eat, and if ye do drink, are ye not yourselves those that eat, and yourselves those that drink? ⁷ Are not these the words which the Lord hath proclaimed by means of the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, with her cities round about her, when men inhabited the south, and the lowlands? ⁸ And the word of the Lord came unto Zechariah, saying, ⁹ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true justice, and show kindness and mercy every man to his brother; ¹⁰ And defraud not the widow, or the fatherless, the stranger, or the poor; and imagine not evil in your heart one against the other. ¹¹ But they refused to listen, and turned away rebelliously the shoulder, and stopped their ears, so as not to hear; ¹² And their heart they rendered as an adamant, so as not to hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent through his spirit, by means of the former prophets: wherefore came a great anger from the Lord of hosts. ¹³ And it is come to pass, that as he proclaimed, and they would not hear: so had they to call, and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts; ¹⁴ And I resolved to scatter them with a storm-wind among all the nations that they had not known; and the land was left desolate after them, without any one to pass through it forward or backward; and the pleasant land have they changed into a desert.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu. ² And Beth-El sendeth Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of Jehovah, ³ speaking unto the priests who are at the house of Jehovah of Hosts, and unto the prophets, saying, `Do I weep in the fifth month—being separated—as I have done these so many years?' ⁴ And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts unto me, saying: ⁵ `Speak unto all the people of the land, and unto the priests, saying: ⁶ When ye fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh months —even these seventy years—did ye keep the fast to Me—Me? And when ye eat, and when ye drink, is it not ye who are eating, and ye who are drinking? ⁷ `Are not these the words that Jehovah proclaimed by the hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem's being inhabited, and in safety, and its cities round about it, and the south and the plain—abiding?'
⁸ And there is a word of Jehovah unto Zechariah, saying: ⁹ `Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: True judgment judge ye, And kindness and mercy do one with another. ¹⁰ And widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, ye do not oppress, And the calamity of one another ye do not devise in your heart. ¹¹ And they refuse to attend, And they give a refractory shoulder, And their ears have made heavy against hearing. ¹² And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the law, and the words, That Jehovah of Hosts sent by His Spirit, By the hand of the former prophets, And their is great wrath from Jehovah of Hosts. ¹³ And it cometh to pass, as He called, And they have not hearkened, So do they call, and I do not hearken, Said Jehovah of Hosts. ¹⁴ And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not known, The land hath been desolate behind them, Of any passing by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a desolation!

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it will be in the fourth year to Darius the king, the word of Jehovah was to Zechariah in the fourth to the ninth month, in Chisleu; ² And he will send to the house of God, the chief of the treasure, and the friend of the king, and his men to beseech the face of Jehovah. ³ To speak to the priests which were to the house of Jehovah of armies, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself according as I did, how many the years? ⁴ And the word of Jehovah of armies was to me, saying, ⁵ Say to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh, and this seventy years, fasting, fasted ye to me, me? ⁶ And when ye shall eat, and when ye shall drink, are ye not eating, and are ye not drinking? ⁷ Is it not the words which Jehovah called by the hand of the former prophets in Jerusalem being inhabited and in security, and its cities round about her, and inhabiting the south and the low country? ⁸ And the word of Jehovah will be to Zechariah, saying, ⁹ Thus said Jehovah of armies, saying. Judge ye the judgment of truth, and do mercy and compassions each to his brother. ¹⁰ And the widow and the orphan, the stranger and the poor, ye shall not oppress; and ye shall not purpose evil in your heart a man to his brother. ¹¹ And they will refuse to attend, and they will give a stubborn shoulder, and their ears they made heavy from hearing. ¹² And their heart they set a diamond from hearing the instruction and the words which Jehovah of armies sent by his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: and there will be great wrath from Jehovah of armies. ¹³ And it will be as he called and they heard not; so they shall call, and I will not hear, said Jehovah of armies: ¹⁴ And I will toss them about among all the nations which they knew not: and the land was desolate after them from passing through and from turning back: and they shall set the land of desire for a desolation.

2 H1004 Now they of Beth - H410 el H7971 had sent H8272 Sharezer H7278 and Regem-melech, H582 and their men, H2470 to entreat H6440 the favor H3068 of Jehovah,

3 H559 and to speak H3548 unto the priests H1004 of the house H3068 of Jehovah H6635 of hosts, H5030 and to the prophets, H559 saying, H1058 Should I weep H2549 in the fifth H2320 month, H5144 separating H6213 myself, as I have done H8141 these so many years?

4 H1697 Then came the word H3068 of Jehovah H6635 of hosts H559 unto me, saying,

5 H559 Speak H5971 unto all the people H776 of the land, H3548 and to the priests, H559 saying, H6684 When ye fasted H5594 and mourned H2549 in the fifth H7637 and in the seventh H7657 month, even these seventy H8141 years, H6684 did ye at all H6684 fast unto me, even to me?

6 H398 And when ye eat, H8354 and when ye drink, H398 do not ye eat H8354 for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

7 H1697 Should ye not hear the words H3068 which Jehovah H7121 cried H3027 by H7223 the former H5030 prophets, H3389 when Jerusalem H3427 was inhabited H7961 and in prosperity, H5892 and the cities H5439 thereof round about her, H5045 and the South H8219 and the lowland H3427 were inhabited?

11 H3985 But they refused H7181 to hearken, H5414 and pulled away H3802 the shoulder, H3513 and stopped H241 their ears, H8085 that they might not hear.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it came to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king, that the word of Yahweh came unto Zechariah, on the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu; ² yea when Bethel sent Sherezer and Regemmelech, and his men,––to pacify the face of Yahweh: ³ to speak unto the priests that pertained to the house of Yahweh of hosts, and unto the prophets, saying,––Shall I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years? ⁴ Then came the word of Yahweh of hosts unto me, saying: ⁵ Speak thou unto all the people of the land, and unto the priests, saying,––When ye fasted and lamented in the fifth and in the seventh, even these seventy years, did ye, really fast, unto, me? ⁶ And, when ye used to eat and when ye used to drink, was it not, of your own accord, ye did eat, and, of your own accord, ye did drink? ⁷ Should ye not [have been doing] the things which Yahweh, had proclaimed, by the hand of the former prophets, while yet Jerusalem was inhabited and in peace, with her cities round about her,––and the South and the Lowland were inhabited?
⁸ And the word of Yahweh came unto Zechariah, saying: ⁹ Thus, spake Yahweh of hosts, saying,––With true justice, give ye judgment, and, lovingkindness and compassions, observe ye, one with another; ¹⁰ And, the widow and the fatherless, the sojourner and the humbled, do not ye oppress,––and, wickedness between one man and another, do not ye devise in your hearts. ¹¹ Howbeit they refused to give heed, but put forth a rebellious shoulder,––and, their ears, made they hard of hearing, that they might not hear; ¹² and, their heart, turned they into adamant, that they might not hear the law, nor the words which Yahweh of hosts sent by his spirit, through the former prophets,––and so there came great wrath from Yahweh of hosts. ¹³ Therefore came it to pass that––just as he cried out and they hearkened not, so, used they to cry out, and I used not to hearken, saith Yahweh of hosts; ¹⁴ But I whirled them over all the nations whom they had not known, and, the land, was made desolate after them, that none passed through and returned,––Yea they made of a delightful land––a desolation.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it is coming in the fourth year of Darius the king that the word of Yahweh comes to Zechariah in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu." ² And Bethel is sending Sharezer and Regem-melech and his men to beseech the face of Yahweh, ³ to say to the priests who are in the house of Yahweh of hosts, and to the prophets, saying:Shall I lament in the fifth month, to be sequestered, just as I do this how many years? ⁴ Then the word of Yahweh of hosts is coming to me, saying:" ⁵ Say to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and wailed in the fifth and in the seventh months, even this seventy years--did you really fast to Me? ⁶ And when you are eating, and when you are drinking, are you not the eaters, and you the drinkers? ⁷ Are they not the words which Yahweh calls by the hand of the former prophets, when Jerusalem came to be indwelt and at ease, and her cities round about her, and the south rim, and the lowland were indwelt? ⁸ Then the word of Yahweh is coming to Zechariah, saying, ⁹ Thus speaks Yahweh of hosts, saying:Judge with true judgment, and with kindness and compassion deal each man with his brother, ¹⁰ and you must not extort from a widow or orphan or the sojourner or the humble. And you must not devise evil, each man to his brother, in your heart." ¹¹ Yet they are refusing to attend, and they are giving a stubborn shoulder, and their ears they make heavy against hearing, ¹² and their hearts they make corundum against hearing the law and the words which Yahweh of hosts sent by His spirit, by the hand of the former prophets. And great wrath is coming from Yahweh of hosts." ¹³ And it is coming, just as he calls and they did not hear, so are they calling, and I am not hearing, says Yahweh of hosts." ¹⁴ And I am tossing them with a tempest over all the nations who do not know them. And the land is desolate after them, free from anyone passing or returning, for they have made the coveted land a desolation."

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it came about in the fourth year of King Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month Chislev. ² Now they of Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech to make a request for grace from the Lord, ³ And to say to the priests of the house of the Lord of armies and to the prophets, Am I to go on weeping in the fifth month, separating myself as I have done in past years? ⁴ Then the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying ⁵ Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, When you went without food and gave yourselves to grief in the fifth and the seventh months for these seventy years, did you ever do it because of me? ⁶ And when you are feasting and drinking, are you not doing it only for yourselves? ⁷ Are not these the words which the Lord said to you by the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem was full of people and wealth, and the towns round about her and the South and the Lowland were peopled? ⁸ And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying, ⁹ This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your judging be upright and done in good faith, let every man have mercy and pity for his brother: ¹⁰ Do not be hard on the widow, or the child without a father, on the man from a strange country, or on the poor; let there be no evil thought in your heart against your brother. ¹¹ But they would not give attention, turning their backs and stopping their ears from hearing; ¹² And they made their hearts like the hardest stone, so that they might not give ear to the law and the words which the Lord of armies had said by the earlier prophets: and there came great wrath from the Lord of armies. ¹³ And it came about that as they would not give ear to his voice, so I would not give ear to their voice, says the Lord of armies: ¹⁴ But with a storm-wind I sent them in flight among all the nations of whom they had no knowledge. So the land was waste after them, so that no man went through or came back: for they had made waste the desired land.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it happened in the fourth year of King Darius, the Word of Jehovah came to Zechariah in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chislev. ² And Sherezer and Regem-melech and his men had been sent to the house of God, to seek the favor of Jehovah, ³ to speak to the priests who belong to the house of Jehovah of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, consecrating myself, as I have done these many years? ⁴ And came the Word of Jehovah of Hosts 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 seventh months, even those seventy years, did you truly fast to Me, even to Me? ⁶ And when you ate, and when you drank, was it not for you the eaters, and for you, the drinkers? ⁷ Are not these the Words which Jehovah proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited, and prosperous, and her cities all around her, and the Negev and the Shephelah were inhabited? ⁸ And the Word of Jehovah came to Zechariah, saying, ⁹ So speaks Jehovah of Hosts, saying, Judge true judgment, and practice kindness and pity, each man to his brother. ¹⁰ And do not crush the widow or the orphan, the alien or the poor. And do not devise evil in your heart, of a man against his brother. ¹¹ But they refused to listen, and gave a stubborn shoulder, and made heavy their ears from hearing. ¹² And they made their hearts adamant from hearing the Law and the Words which Jehovah of Hosts has sent through His Spirit, by the former prophets. And great wrath came from Jehovah of Hosts. ¹³ And it will be, as He called, and they did not listen, so they called, and I did not listen, says Jehovah of Hosts. ¹⁴ But I stormed them away on all the nations whom they did not know. And the land has been wasted behind them, from passing and from returning; for they made the land of desire a waste.

CONCERNING FASTING
And so be it, in the fourth year of sovereign Daryavesh, so be the word of Yah Veh to Zechar Yah in the fourth of the ninth month, in Kislav; ² and Beth El sends Shareser and Regem Melech and their men to stroke the face of Yah Veh; ³ and to say to the priests in the house of Yah Veh Sabaoth and to the prophets, saying, Weep I, in the fifth month, separating myself, as I worked these so many years? ⁴ And so be the word of Yah Veh Sabaoth to me, saying, ⁵ Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and chopped in the fifth and seventh - even these seventy years, in fasting, fasted you to me - me? ⁶ And when you ate and when you drank ate you not, and drank you not for yourselves? ⁷ Are not these the words Yah Veh called out by the hand of the former prophets when Yeru Shalem settled serene? And the cities all around her when they settled the south and the lowland? ⁸ And so be the word of Yah Veh to Zechar Yah, saying, ⁹ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: saying, Judge judgment in truth, and every man, work mercy and mercies to his brother: ¹⁰ and oppress not widow and orphan, sojourner and humble; and no man of you fabricate evil against his brother in your heart. ¹¹ And they refuse to hearken; and give a revolting shoulder and heavy their ears that they hear not. ¹² Yes, they set their hearts as a brier lest they hear the torah and the words Yah Veh Sabaoth sends his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: and so be it, a great rage from Yah Veh Sabaoth. ¹³ and so be it, as he calls, and they hearken not; thus they call, and I hearken not, says Yah Veh Sabaoth: ¹⁴ and I storm them among all the goyim whom they know not: and thus desolate the land after them, so that one neither passes through nor returns: for they desolate their land of desire.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of LORD came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chislev. ² Now those of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to entreat the favor of LORD, ³ and to speak to the priests of the house of 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? ⁴ Then the word of LORD of hosts came to me, saying, ⁵ Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, even these seventy years, did ye at all fast to me, even to me? ⁶ And when ye eat, and when ye drink, do ye not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? ⁷ Should ye not hear the words which LORD cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited? ⁸ And the word of LORD came to Zechariah, saying, ⁹ Thus LORD of hosts has spoken, saying, Execute true justice, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother. ¹⁰ And do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the sojourner, nor the poor man.

2 H1004 The people of H410 Bethel H7971 sent H8272 Sharezer H7278 and Regem Melech, H582 and their men, H2470 to entreat H3068 Yahweh's H6440 favor,

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Chislev. ² And Sherezer and Arbeseer the king and his men sent to Bethel, to entreat the favor of the Lord, ³ speaking to the priests that were in the house of the Lord Almighty, and to the prophets, saying, The holy offering has come in here in the fifth month, as it has done already many years. ⁴ And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, ⁵ Speak to the whole people of the land, and to the priests, saying, Though you fasted or lamented in the fifth or seventh months (yea, behold, these seventy years) have you at all fasted to Me? ⁶ And if you eat or drink, do you not eat and drink for yourselves? ⁷ Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and her cities round about her, and the hill country and the low country was inhabited? ⁸ And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying, ⁹ Thus says the Lord Almighty; Judge righteous judgment, and deal mercifully and compassionately, everyone with his brother, ¹⁰ and oppress not the widow, or the fatherless, or the stranger, or the poor; and let not one of you remember in his heart the injury of his brother. ¹¹ But they refused to attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear. ¹² And they made their heart disobedient, so as not to hearken to My law, and the words which the Lord Almighty sent forth by His Spirit by the former prophets: so there was great wrath from the Lord Almighty. ¹³ Therefore it came to pass, that as He spoke and they did not listen, so they shall cry, and I will not listen, says the Lord Almighty. ¹⁴ And I will cast them out among all the nations, whom they know not; and the land behind them shall be made utterly destitute of any going through or returning; for they have made the choice land a desolation.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, [that] the word of the Lord came to Zacharias on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, which is Chaseleu. ² And Sarasar and Arbeseer the king and his men sent to Bethel, and [that] to propitiate the Lord, ³ speaking to the priests that were in the house of the Lord Almighty, and to the prophets, saying, The holy offering has come in hither in the fifth month, as it has done already many years. ⁴ And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, ⁵ Speak to the whole people of the land, and to the priests, saying, Though you⌃ fasted or lamented in the fifth or seventh [months] (yes, behold, these seventy years) have you⌃ at all fasted to me? ⁶ And if you⌃ eat or drink, do you⌃ not eat and drink for yourselves? ⁷ Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and her cities round about her, and the hill country and the low country was inhabited? ⁸ And the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying, ⁹ Thus says the Lord Almighty; Judge righteous judgment, and deal mercifully and compassionately every one with his brother: ¹⁰ and oppress not the widow, or the fatherless, or the stranger, or the poor; and let not one of you remember in his heart the injury of his brother. ¹¹ But they refused to attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear. ¹² And they made their heart disobedient, so as not to listen to my law, and the words which the Lord Almighty sent forth by his Spirit by the former prophets: so there was great wrath from the Lord Almighty. ¹³ And it shall come to pass, [that] as he spoke, and they listened not, so they shall cry, and I will not listen, says the Lord Almighty. ¹⁴ And I will cast them out among all the nations, whom they know not; and the land behind them shall be made utterly destitute of any going through or returning: yes they have made the choice land a desolation.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The word of Jehovah came to Zechariah in the fourth year of King Darius. It was the fourth day of the ninth month that is Chislev. ² Now they of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to request the favor of Jehovah. ³ Therefore speak to the priests of the house of Jehovah of Hosts, and say to the prophets: »Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these many years?« ⁴ Then came the word of Jehovah of Hosts to me: ⁵ »Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying: ‘For the past seventy years did you fast for me when you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months? ⁶ ‘»Did you eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves? ⁷ »‘Should you hear the words that Jehovah cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities near her and the South and the lowland were inhabited?’« ⁸ And the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah: ⁹ »Jehovah of Hosts has spoken: Every man should execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion to his brother! ¹⁰ »Do not oppress the widow. Do not oppress the fatherless. Do not oppress the stranger and do not oppress the poor. And you should not devise evil in your heart against your brother. ¹¹ »They refused to pay heed, turned a stubborn shoulder (resisted), and stopped their ears, that they might not hear. ¹² »They made their hearts hard like flint and would not listen to the law, and the words that Jehovah of Hosts sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. Great anger came from Jehovah of Hosts!« ¹³ »‘I cried, and they would not listen. Now they will cry, and I will not listen,’ said Jehovah of Hosts! ¹⁴ ‘I will scatter them with a whirlwind among the nations that they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned. They tread down the pleasant land and made it desolate.’«

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Rebuke about Selfish FastsDuring the fourth year of the reign of King Darius, a message from the LORD came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month Kislev. ² The people of Bethel were sending Sharezer, Regem-melech, and their men to pray in the LORD’s presence ³ and to speak to the priests assigned to the Temple of the LORD of the Heavenly Armies along with the prophets, asking, “Am I to go about mourning, denying myself throughout the fifth month, as I have these many years?”
⁴ Then this message from the LORD of the Heavenly Armies came to me: ⁵ “Talk to everyone in the land, as well as to the priests. Ask them, ‘When you were fasting and mourning during the fifth and seventh months for the past seventy years, were you really fasting for me? ⁶ And when you eat and drink, you’re eating and drinking for your own benefit, aren’t you? ⁷ Isn’t this what the LORD proclaimed through the former prophets, when a prosperous Jerusalem was inhabited, as were its surrounding cities, the Negev, and the Shephelah?’”
⁸ The Consequence of Turning from GodThis message from the LORD came to Zechariah again: ⁹ “This is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: ‘Administer true justice, and show gracious love and mercy toward each other. ¹⁰ You are not to wrong the widow, orphans, the foreigner, or the poor, and you are not to plan evil against each other. ¹¹ But they refused to pay attention, turned their backs, and stopped listening. ¹² They made their hearts hard like a diamond, to keep from obeying the Law and the messages that the LORD of the Heavenly Armies sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. ¹³ Therefore, just as when I cried out and they would not listen, so also they will cry out, and I will not listen,’ says the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. ¹⁴ ‘I will scatter them to all of the nations, which they have not known.’”
Now the earth was left desolate after them. As a result, no one came or went because they had turned a pleasant land into a desert.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ _⌊And then_⌋,* in the fourth year of King Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Kislev. ² And the people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem-Melech, and their* men, to entreat _⌊the favor_⌋* of Yahweh, ³ saying to the _⌊priests of the house of Yahweh of hosts_⌋* and to the prophets, "Should I mourn in the fifth month and keep myself separate* as I have done for these many years?" ⁴ And the word of Yahweh of hosts came to me, saying, ⁵ "Say to all the people of the land and to the priests: 'When you fasted and lamented in the fifth and seventh months for these seventy years, did you really fast for me? ⁶ And when you eat and drink, are you not eating and drinking for yourselves? ⁷ Are not these the words that Yahweh proclaimed _⌊through_⌋* the former prophets, when Jerusalem and _⌊its surrounding towns_⌋* were inhabited and at ease, and the Negev* and the Shephelah* were inhabited?'" ⁸ And the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah, saying, ⁹ "Thus says Yahweh of hosts: 'Judge with trustworthy justice, and show* steadfast love and compassion _⌊to one another_⌋.* ¹⁰ You must not oppress the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, and the needy.

Thus they turned the pleasant land into a desolation.”

¹¹ But they refused to listen and pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears, that they might not hear. ¹² Yes, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law and the words which Jehovah of hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from Jehovah of hosts.
¹³ And it has happen that, as he cried and they would not hear, so they will cry and I will not hear, said Jehovah of hosts. 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 laid the desirable land desolate.

5 H5971 Rede zu dem ganzen Volke H776 des Landes H3548 und zu den Priestern H559 und sprich H559 : Wenn ihr H2549 im fünften H7657 und im siebten Monat gefastet und gewehklagt habt, und zwar schon siebzig H8141 Jahre, habt ihr irgendwie mir gefastet?

8 H559 Und H1697 das Wort H3068 Jehovas H2148 geschah zu Sacharja also:

14 H7760 und H3045 ich stürmte sie hinweg unter alle Nationen, die sie nicht kannten H8047 , und H1471 das H776 Land H310 wurde hinter H8074 ihnen verwüstet H5674 , so daß niemand hin H7725 und wieder H2532 zieht; und sie machten das köstliche H776 Land zu einer Wüste.

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Het gebeurde nu in het vierde jaar van den koning Darius, dat het woord des HEEREN geschiedde tot Zacharia, op den vierden der negende maand, namelijk in Chisleu. ² Toen men naar het huis van God gezonden had Sarezer, en Regem-melech, en zijn mannen, om het aangezicht des HEEREN te smeken; ³ Zeggende tot de priesters, die in het huis des HEEREN der heirscharen waren, en tot de profeten, zeggende: Moet ik wenen in de vijfde maand, mij afzonderende, gelijk als ik gedaan heb nu zo vele jaren? ⁴ Toen geschiedde het woord des HEEREN der heirscharen tot mij, zeggende: ⁵ Spreek tot het ganse volk dezes lands, en tot de priesters, zeggende: Toen gij vasttet en rouwklaagdet, in de vijfde en in de zevende maand, namelijk nu zeventig jaren, hebt gijlieden Mij, Mij enigszins gevast? ⁶ Of als gij at, en als gij dronkt, waart gij het niet, die daar at, en gij, die daar dronkt? ⁷ Zijn het niet de woorden, welke de HEERE uitriep door den dienst der vorige profeten, toen Jeruzalem bewoond en gerust was, en haar steden rondom haar; en het zuiden en de laagte bewoond was? ⁸ Verder geschiedde het woord des HEEREN tot Zacharia, zeggende: ⁹ Alzo sprak de HEERE der heirscharen, zeggende: Richt een waarachtig gericht, en doet goedertierenheid en barmhartigheden, de een aan den ander; ¹⁰ En verdrukt de weduwe noch den wees, den vreemdeling noch den ellendige; en denkt niet in uw hart de een des anderen kwaad. ¹¹ Maar zij weigerden op te merken, en togen hun schouder terug, en zij verzwaarden hun oren, opdat zij niet hoorden. ¹² En zij maakten hun hart als een diamant, opdat zij niet hoorden de wet en de woorden, die de HEERE der heirscharen zond in Zijn Geest, door den dienst der vorige profeten, waaruit ontstaan is een grote toorn van den HEERE der heirscharen. ¹³ Daarom is het geschied, gelijk als Hij geroepen had, doch zij niet gehoord hebben, alzo riepen zij ook, maar Ik hoorde niet, zegt de HEERE der heirscharen; ¹⁴ Maar Ik heb hen weggestormd onder alle heidenen, welke zij niet kenden; en het land werd achter hen verwoest, zodat er niemand doorging, noch wederkeerde; want zij stelden het gewenste land tot een verwoesting.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Et en la quatrième année du règne de Darius, le quatrième jour du neuvième mois de cheseleu, la parole du Seigneur vint à Zacharie. ² Sarasar et Arbeséer, le roi et ses hommes, envoyèrent en Béthel pour prier le Seigneur; ³ disant aux prêtres du temple du Seigneur tout-puissant et aux prophètes: Les saintes offrandes sont entrées ici le cinquième mois, comme il a déjà été fait en un grand nombre d’années. ⁴ Et ma parole du Seigneur, Dieu des armées, vint à moi, disant ⁵ Parle à tout le peuple de la terre et aux prêtres, et dis-leur: Quand vous avez jeûné et pleuré les cinquième et septième mois de ces soixante-dix années, est-ce pour Moi que vous avez jeûné? ⁶ Et quand vous avez mangé et bu, n’est-ce pas pour vous que vous mangiez et buviez? ⁷ N’est-ce point là ce que vous a dit le Seigneur, par les prophètes d’autrefois, lorsque Jérusalem était habitée et prospérait, ainsi que les villes d’alentour, et que les montagnes et la plaine regorgeaient d’habitants? ⁸ ¶ Et la parole du Seigneur vint à Zacharie, disant face=Helvetica, Arial>: ⁹ Voici ce que dit le Seigneur, maître de toutes choses: Soyez justes quand vous jugez, et que chacun soit compatissant et miséricordieux envers son frère. ¹⁰ Gardez-vous d’opprimer la veuve, l’orphelin, l’étranger, le pauvre; et ne conservez point en vos cœurs un mauvais souvenir des méchancetés de vos frères. ¹¹ Et ils ne le voulurent point entendre, et ils lui tournèrent le dos avec mépris, et pour ne point ouïr ils se bouchèrent les oreilles. ¹² Et ils se firent des cœurs désobéissants, au point d’être indociles à Ma loi et aux paroles que leur envoyait le Seigneur tout-puissant, par Son Esprit et par les prophètes d’autrefois. Et le Seigneur tout-puissant en eut un grand courroux. ¹³ Or voici ce qui arrivera, dit le Seigneur tout-puissant: le Seigneur a parlé et ils n’ont point écouté; de même, quand ils crieront, Je ne les écouterai pas. ¹⁴ Et Je les chasserai; et Je les disperserai parmi les nations qu’ils n’ont point connues; et derrière eux la terre sera dénuée d’allants et venants; et ils auront voué à la destruction une terre que J’avais choisie.

Et il arriva, la quatrième année du roi Darius, que la parole de l'Éternel vint à Zacharie, le quatrième jour du neuvième mois, au mois de Kislev, ² quand Béthel envoya Sharétser et Réguem-Mélec et ses hommes pour implorer l'Éternel, ³ pour parler aux sacrificateurs qui étaient dans la maison de l'Éternel des armées, et aux prophètes, disant: Pleurerai-je au cinquième mois, en me séparant comme j'ai fait, voici tant d'années? ⁴ Et la parole de l'Éternel des armées vint à moi, disant: ⁵ Parle à tout le peuple du pays, et aux sacrificateurs, disant: Quand vous avez jeûné et que vous vous êtes lamentés au cinquième et au septième mois, et cela pendant soixante-dix ans, est-ce réellement pour moi, pour moi, que vous avez jeûné? ⁶ Et quand vous avez mangé et bu, n'est-ce pas vous qui mangiez et qui buviez? ⁷ Ne sont-ce pas là les paroles que l'Éternel a criées par les premiers prophètes, alors que Jérusalem était habitée et jouissait de la paix, ainsi que ses villes qui l'entouraient, et que le midi et le pays plat étaient habités? ⁸
Et la parole de l'Éternel vint à Zacharie, disant: ⁹ Ainsi parle l'Éternel des armées, disant: Prononcez des jugements de vérité, et usez de bonté et de miséricorde l'un envers l'autre, ¹⁰ et n'opprimez pas la veuve et l'orphelin, l'étranger et l'affligé; et ne méditez pas le mal dans votre coeur, l'un contre l'autre. ¹¹ Mais ils refusèrent d'être attentifs, et opposèrent une épaule revêche, et appesantirent leurs oreilles pour ne pas entendre, ¹² et rendirent leur coeur dur comme un diamant, pour ne pas écouter la loi et les paroles que l'Éternel des armées envoyait par son Esprit, par les premiers prophètes; et il y eut une grande colère de la part de l'Éternel des armées. ¹³ Et il arriva que, comme il cria et qu'ils n'écoutèrent pas, de même ils crièrent, et je n'écoutai pas, dit l'Éternel des armées; ¹⁴ et je les dispersai, comme par un tourbillon, parmi toutes les nations qu'ils ne connaissaient pas, et le pays fut désolé derrière eux, de sorte qu'il n'y avait ni allants ni venants; et ils rendirent désolé le pays désirable.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Puis il arriva la quatrième année du Roi Darius, que la parole de l'Eternel fut adressée à Zacharie le quatrième jour du neuvième mois, qui est le mois de Kisleu. ² lorsqu'on eut envoyé Saretser, et Réguem-mélec et ses gens, à la maison du Dieu Fort, pour supplier l'Eternel. ³ Et pour parler aux Sacrificateurs de la maison de l'Eternel des armées, et aux Prophètes, en disant : Pleurerai-je au cinquième mois, me tenant séparé, comme j'ai déjà fait pendant plusieurs années ? ⁴ Et la parole de l'Eternel me fut adressée, en disant : ⁵ Parle à tout le peuple du pays, et aux Sacrificateurs, et leur dis : Quand vous avez jeûné, et pleuré au cinquième mois, et au septième, il y a déjà soixante et dix ans, avez-vous célébré ce jeûne pour l'amour de moi ? ⁶ Et quand vous buvez et mangez, n'est-ce pas vous qui mangez, et vous qui buvez ? ⁷ Ne sont-ce pas les paroles que l'Eternel a fait entendre par le moyen des Prophètes qui ont été ci-devant, lorsque Jérusalem était habitée et paisible, elle et ses villes qui sont autour d'elle, et lors qu'on habitait vers le midi, et dans la plaine ?8 Puis la parole de l'Eternel fut adressée à Zacharie, en disant : ⁸ ⁹ Ainsi avait parlé l'Eternel des armées, en disant : Faites ce qui est vraiment juste, et exercez la miséricorde et la compassion chacun envers son frère. ¹⁰ Et ne faites point de tort à la veuve, ni à l'orphelin, ni à l'étranger, ni à l'affligé, et ne méditez aucun mal dans vos coeurs chacun contre son frère. ¹¹ Mais ils n'y ont point voulu entendre, et ont tiré l'épaule en arrière, et ils ont appesanti leurs oreilles pour ne point ouïr. ¹² Et ils ont rendu leur coeur dur comme le diamant, pour ne point écouter la Loi, et les paroles que l'Eternel des armées envoyait par son Esprit, par le moyen des Prophètes qui ont été ci-devant; c'est pourquoi il y a eu une grande indignation de par l'Eternel des armées. ¹³ Et il est arrivé, que comme quand on leur a crié, ils n'ont point écouté; ainsi, quand ils ont crié, je n'ai point écouté, a dit l'Eternel des armées. ¹⁴ Et je les ai dispersés comme par un tourbillon parmi toutes les nations qu'ils ne connaissaient point, et le pays a été désolé après eux, tellement qu'il n'y a eu personne qui y passât, ni repassât, et on a mis le pays désirable en désolation.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ La quatrième année du roi Darius, la parole de l'Eternel fut adressée à Zacharie, le quatrième jour du neuvième mois, qui est le mois de Kisleu. ² On avait envoyé de Béthel Scharetser et Réguem-Mélec avec ses gens pour implorer l'Eternel, ³ et pour dire aux sacrificateurs de la maison de l'Eternel des armées et aux prophètes: Faut-il que je pleure au cinquième mois et que je fasse abstinence, comme je l'ai fait tant d'années? ⁴ La parole de l'Eternel des armées me fut adressée, en ces mots: ⁵ Dis à tout le peuple du pays et aux sacrificateurs: Quand vous avez jeûné et pleuré au cinquième et au septième mois, et cela depuis soixante-dix ans, est-ce pour moi que vous avez jeûné? ⁶ Et quand vous mangez et buvez, n'est-ce pas vous qui mangez et vous qui buvez? ⁷ Ne connaissez-vous pas les paroles qu'a proclamées l'Eternel par les premiers prophètes, lorsque Jérusalem était habitée et tranquille avec ses villes à l'entour, et que le midi et la plaine étaient habités? ⁸ La parole de l'Eternel fut adressée à Zacharie, en ces mots: ⁹ Ainsi parlait l'Eternel des armées: Rendez véritablement la justice, Et ayez l'un pour l'autre de la bonté et de la miséricorde. ¹⁰ N'opprimez pas la veuve et l'orphelin, l'étranger et le pauvre, Et ne méditez pas l'un contre l'autre le mal dans vos coeurs. ¹¹ Mais ils refusèrent d'être attentifs, ils eurent l'épaule rebelle, et ils endurcirent leurs oreilles pour ne pas entendre. ¹² Ils rendirent leur coeur dur comme le diamant, pour ne pas écouter la loi et les paroles que l'Eternel des armées leur adressait par son esprit, par les premiers prophètes.

10 H6231 N’opprimez H8799 H490 pas la veuve H3490 et l’orphelin H1616 , l’étranger H6041 et le pauvre H2803 , Et ne méditez H8799 H376 pas l’un H251 contre l’autre H7451 le mal H3824 dans vos cœurs.

11 H3985 Mais ils refusèrent H8762 H7181 d’être attentifs H8687 H3802 , ils eurent l’épaule H5414 rebelle H8799 H5637 H8802 H3513 , et ils endurcirent H8689 H241 leurs oreilles H8085 pour ne pas entendre H8800 .

12 H7760 Ils rendirent H8804 H3820 leur cœur H8068 dur comme le diamant H8085 , pour ne pas écouter H8800 H8451 la loi H1697 et les paroles H3068 que l’Eternel H6635 des armées H7971 leur adressait H8804 H7307 par son esprit H3027 , par H7223 les premiers H5030 prophètes H3068 . Ainsi l’Eternel H6635 des armées H1419 s’enflamma d’une grande H7110 colère.

13 H7121 Quand il appelait H8804 H8085 , ils n’ont pas écouté H8804 H8085 : aussi n’ai-je pas écouté H8799 H7121 , quand ils ont appelé H8799 H559 , dit H8804 H3068 l’Eternel H6635 des armées.

14 H5590 Je les ai dispersés H8762 H1471 parmi toutes les nations H3045 qu’ils ne connaissaient H8804 H776 pas ; le pays H8074 a été dévasté H8738 H310 derrière H5674 eux, il n’y a plus eu ni allants H8802 H7725 ni venants H8802 H776 ; et d’un pays H2532 de délices H7760 ils ont fait H8799 H8047 un désert.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y aconteció en el año cuarto del rey Darío, que vino Palabra del SEÑOR a Zacarías, a los cuatro del mes noveno, que es Quisleu; ² Cuando fue enviado a la Casa de Dios, Sarezer, con Regem-melec y sus hombres, a implorar el favor del SEÑOR, ³ y a preguntar a los sacerdotes que estaban en la casa del SEÑOR de los ejércitos, y a los profetas, diciendo: ¿Lloraremos en el mes quinto? ¿Haremos abstinencia como hemos hecho ya algunos años? ⁴ Vino, pues, a mí palabra del SEÑOR de los ejércitos, diciendo: ⁵ Habla a todo el pueblo del país, y a los sacerdotes, diciendo: Cuando ayunasteis y llorasteis en el quinto y en el séptimo mes estos setenta años, ¿habéis ayunado para mí? ⁶ Y cuando coméis y bebéis, ¿no coméis y bebéis para vosotros? ⁷ ¿No son éstas las palabras que publicó el SEÑOR por mano de los profetas primeros, cuando Jerusalén estaba habitada y quieta, y sus ciudades en sus alrededores, y el mediodía y la campiña se habitaban? ⁸ Y vino palabra del SEÑOR a Zacarías, diciendo: ⁹ Así habló el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, diciendo: Juzgad juicio verdadero, y haced misericordia y piedad cada cual con su hermano; ¹⁰ no agraviéis a la viuda, ni al huérfano, ni al extranjero, ni al pobre; ni ninguno piense mal en su corazón contra su hermano. ¹¹ Pero no quisieron escuchar, antes dieron hombro rebelado, y agravaron sus oídos para no oír; ¹² y pusieron su corazón como diamante, para no oír la ley ni las palabras que el SEÑOR de los ejércitos enviaba por su Espíritu, por mano de los profetas primeros; fue, por tanto, hecho gran castigo por el SEÑOR de los ejércitos. ¹³ Y aconteció que como él clamó, y no escucharon, así ellos clamaron, y yo no escuché, dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos; ¹⁴ antes los esparcí con torbellino por todos los gentiles que ellos no conocían, y la tierra fue desolada tras ellos, sin quedar quien fuese ni viniese; pues tornaron en asolamiento el país deseable.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Në vitin e katërt të mbretit Dar, ditën e katërt të muajit të nëntë, që është Kislevi, ndodhi që fjala e Zotit iu drejtua Zakarias. ² Kishin dërguar Sharetserin, bashkë me Regemelekun dhe njerëzit e tij, në Bethel për të kërkuar me lutje favorin e Zotin, ³ dhe për të folur me priftërinjtë që ishin në shtëpinë e Zotit të ushtrive dhe me profetët, duke thënë: "A duhet të qaj në muajin e pestë dhe të agjëroj si kam bërë gjatë shumë viteve?". ⁴ Atëherë fjala e Zotit m'u drejtua, duke thënë: ⁵ "Folu gjithë popullit të vendit dhe priftërinjve dhe thuaj: "Kur keni agjëruar dhe jeni pikëlluar në muajin e pestë dhe në të shtatin gjatë këtyre shtatëdhjetë viteve, a keni agjëruar në të vërtetë për mua, pikërisht për mua? ⁶ Po më pas, kur keni ngrënë dhe pirë, mos vallë keni ngrënë dhe pirë për veten tuaj? ⁷ A nuk janë këto fjalët që Zoti i ushtrive ka shpallur me anë të profetëve të së kaluarës, kur Jeruzalemi ishte i banuar dhe i qetë bashkë me qytetet e tij të afërta dhe gjithashtu Negevi dhe fusha ishin të banuara?"". ⁸ Fjala e Zotit iu drejtua Zakarias, duke thënë: ⁹ "Kështu thotë Zoti i ushtrive: Zbatoni me përpikëri drejtësinë dhe tregoni secili mirësi dhe mëshirë për vëllezërit tuaj. ¹⁰ Mos e shtypni të venë dhe jetimin, të huajin dhe të varfërin; dhe askush të mos kurdisë në zemër të vet të keqen kundër vëllait të vet. ¹¹ Por ata nuk deshën të dëgjojnë, kthyen krahët me kryeneçësi dhe i zunë veshët që të mos dëgjonin. ¹² E bënë zemrën e tyre si diamanti, për të mos dëgjuar ligjin dhe fjalët që Zoti i ushtrive u dërgonte atyre me anë të Frymës së tij, me anë të profetëve të së kaluarës. Kështu u krijua një indinjatë e madhe te Zoti i ushtrive. ¹³ Dhe ndodhi që, mbasi ai thërriste dhe ata nuk ia vinin veshin, ata thirrën dhe unë nuk ua vura veshin", thotë Zoti i ushtrive, ¹⁴ "por i shpërndava me shakullimë midis gjithë kombeve që ata nuk i njihnin.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ В четвертый год царя Дария было слово Господне к Захарии, в четвертый день девятого месяца, Хаслева, ² когда Вефиль послал Сарецера и Регем-Мелеха и спутников его помолиться пред лицем Господа ³ и спросить у священников, которые в доме Господа Саваофа, и у пророков, говоря: „плакать ли мне в пятый месяц и поститься, как я делалэто уже много лет?" ⁴ И было ко мне слово Господа Саваофа: ⁵ скажи всему народу земли сей и священникам так: когда вы постились и плакали в пятом и седьмом месяце, притом уже семьдесят лет, для Меня ли вы постились? для Меня ли? ⁶ И когда вы едите и когда пьете, не для себя ли вы едите, не для себя ли вы пьете? ⁷ Не те же ли слова провозглашал Господь через прежних пророков, когда еще Иерусалим был населен и покоен, и города вокруг него, южная страна и низменность, были населены? ⁸ И было слово Господне к Захарии: ⁹ так говорил тогда Господь Саваоф: производите суд справедливый иоказывайте милость и сострадание каждый брату своему; ¹⁰ вдовы и сироты, пришельца и бедного не притесняйте и зла друг противдруга не мыслите в сердце вашем. ¹¹ Но они не хотели внимать, отворотились от Меня, и уши свои отяготили, чтобы не слышать. ¹² И сердце свое окаменили, чтобы не слышать закона и слов, которыепосылал Господь Саваоф Духом Своим через прежних пророков; за то и постиг их великий гнев Господа Саваофа. ¹³ И было: как Он взывал, а они не слушали, так и они взывали, а Я не слушал, говорит Господь Саваоф. ¹⁴ И Я развеял их по всем народам, которых они не знали, и земля сия опустела после них, так что никто не ходил по ней ни взад, ни вперед, и они сделали вожделенную страну пустынею.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ وكان في السنة الرابعة لداريوس الملك ان كلام الرب صار الى زكريا في الرابع من الشهر التاسع في كسلو ² لما ارسل اهل بيت ايل شراصر ورجم ملك ورجالهم ليصلّوا قدام الرب ³ وليكلموا الكهنة الذين في بيت رب الجنود والانبياء قائلين أأبكي في الشهر الخامس منفصلا كما فعلت كم من السنين هذه ⁴ ثم صار اليّ كلام رب الجنود قائلا ⁵ قل لجميع شعب الارض وللكهنة قائلا. لما صمتم ونحتم في الشهر الخامس والشهر السابع وذلك هذه السبعين سنة فهل صمتم صوما لي انا. ⁶ ولما اكلتم ولما شربتم أفما كنتم انتم الآكلين وانتم الشاربين. ⁷ أليس هذا هو الكلام الذي نادى به الرب عن يد الانبياء الاولين حين كانت اورشليم معمورة ومستريحة ومدنها حولها والجنوب والسهل معمورين ⁸ وكان كلام الرب الى زكريا قائلا. ⁹ هكذا قال رب الجنود قائلا. اقضوا قضاء الحق واعملوا احسانا ورحمة كل انسان مع اخيه. ¹⁰ ولا تظلموا الارملة ولا اليتيم ولا الغريب ولا الفقير ولا يفكر احد منكم شرا على اخيه في قلبكم. ¹¹ فابوا ان يصغوا واعطوا كتفا معاندة وثقّلوا آذانهم عن السمع. ¹² بل جعلوا قلبهم ماسا لئلا يسمعوا الشريعة والكلام الذي ارسله رب الجنود بروحه عن يد الانبياء الاولين فجاء غضب عظيم من عند رب الجنود. ¹³ فكان كما نادى هو فلم يسمعوا كذلك ينادون هم فلا اسمع قال رب الجنود. ¹⁴ واعصفهم الى كل الامم الذين لم يعرفوهم. فخربت الارض وراءهم لا ذاهب ولا آئب فجعلوا الارض البهجة خرابا

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ И в четвъртата година на цар Дарий ГОСПОДНОТО слово беше към Захария, на четвъртия ден от деветия месец, през месец Хаслев. ² А Ветил беше изпратил Сарасар и Регемелех и мъжете му да се помолят пред ГОСПОДА, ³ да говорят на свещениците на дома на ГОСПОДА на Войнствата и на пророците и да кажат: Да плача ли в петия месец, като се отделя, както правих толкова години? ⁴ И словото от ГОСПОДА на Войнствата беше към мен и каза: ⁵ Говори на целия народ на земята и на свещениците и кажи: Когато постехте и скърбяхте в петия и в седмия месец, и това седемдесет години, наистина ли за Мен постехте, за Мен? ⁶ И когато ядете и пиете, не ядете ли и не пиете ли за себе си? ⁷ Не са ли това думите, които ГОСПОД е прогласил чрез предишните пророци, когато Ерусалим е бил населен и в благоденствие, и околните му градове, и югът и низината са били населени? ⁸ И ГОСПОДНОТО слово беше към Захария и каза: ⁹ Така говори ГОСПОД на Войнствата и казва: Съдете с истинен съд и оказвайте милост и състрадание всеки на брат си, ¹⁰ и не угнетявайте вдовицата и сирачето, чужденеца и сиромаха; и не мислете в сърцата си злото всеки на брат си. ¹¹ Но те отказаха да слушат и обърнаха упорито плещите си и запушиха ушите си, за да не чуват. ¹² И направиха сърцето си твърдо като диамант, за да не слушат закона и думите, които ГОСПОД на Войнствата беше изпратил чрез Духа Си чрез предишните пророци; поради което дойде голям гняв от ГОСПОДА на Войнствата. ¹³ Затова, както Той викаше, а те не слушаха, така и те викаха, а Аз не слушах, казва ГОСПОД на Войнствата, ¹⁴ а ги разпръснах като с вихрушка между всичките народи, които не познаваха. Така земята запустя след тях, така че нямаше кой да минава и да се връща, защото направиха желаната земя на пустош.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Četvrte godine kralja Darija, četvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca, Kisleva, dođe riječ Jahvina Zahariji. ² Betel je naime poslao Sar-Esera i Regem-Meleka s njihovim ljudima da mole lice Jahvino ³ i da pitaju svećenike u Domu Jahve nad Vojskama i proroke: "Hoćemo li plakati petoga mjeseca i postiti, kao što činimo već tolike godine?" ⁴ Tada mi dođe riječ Jahve nad Vojskama: "Reci svemu puku zemlje i svećenicima: ⁵ 'Kad postite i naričete petoga i sedmoga mjeseca već sedamdeset godina, zar meni postite? ⁶ A kad jedete i pijete, zar sebi ne jedete i pijete? ⁷ Nisu li to propisi koje je Jahve objavio preko negdašnjih proroka kada Jeruzalem bijaše naseljen i miran kao i gradovi oko njega i kada bijaše napučen Negeb i Šefela?'" ⁸ Riječ Jahvina dođe Zahariji: ⁹ "Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Sudite istinito i budite dobrostivi i milosrdni jedni drugima. ¹⁰ Ne tlačite udovu ni sirotu, ni došljaka ni uboga, i ne snujte u srcu pakosti jedan prema drugom.' ¹¹ Ali oni ne htjedoše poslušati, već prkosno okrenuše leđa; zatisnuše uši da ne bi čuli; ¹² otvrdnuše srcem kao kremen, da ne bi čuli Zakon i riječi koje im je slao Jahve nad Vojskama, svojim duhom, preko drevnih proroka. I Jahve nad Vojskama silno se tad razgnjevi. ¹³ I zato, kao što je on zvao a oni ga ne slušaše, tako su sad oni zvali a ja ih nisam slušao - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama. ¹⁴ I razmeo sam ih među sve narode kojih ne poznavahu, a zemlja iza njih bi opustošena, te nitko nije njome prolazio niti se vraćao. Tako su zemlju blagostanja obratili u pustoš!"

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Potom stalo se léta čtvrtého Daria krále, stalo se slovo Hospodinovo k Zachariášovi, čtvrtého dne měsíce devátého, kterýž jest Kislef, ² Když poslal do domu Božího Sarezer a Regemmelech, i muži jeho, aby se kořili tváři Hospodinově, ³ A aby mluvili k kněžím, kteříž byli v domě Hospodina zástupů, i k prorokům, řkouce: Budeme-li plakati měsíce pátého, oddělujíce se, jako jsme činili již po mnoho let? ⁴ I stalo se slovo Hospodina zástupů ke mně, řkoucí: ⁵ Rci všemu lidu této země i kněžím takto: Když jste se postívali a kvílili, pátého a sedmého měsíce, a to po sedmdesáte let, zdaliž jste se opravdu mně, mně, pravím, postili? ⁶ A když jíte aneb pijete, zdaliž ne pro sebe jíte a ne pro sebe pijete? ⁷ Zdaliž tato nejsou slova, kteráž prohlásil Hospodin skrze proroky předešlé, když ještě Jeruzalém seděl bezpečně a užíval pokoje, i města jeho vůkol něho, a lid v straně polední i na rovinách bydlil? ⁸ I stalo se slovo Hospodinovo k Zachariášovi, řkoucí: ⁹ Takto mluvíval Hospodin zástupů, řka: Soud pravý vynášejte, a milosrdenství a lítosti dokazujte jeden každý k bližnímu svému. ¹⁰ A vdovy ani sirotka, příchozího ani chudého neutiskejte, a zlého žádný bližnímu svému neobmýšlejte v srdci svém. ¹¹ Ale nechtěli pozorovati, a nastavili ramene urputného, a uši své obtížili, aby neslyšeli. ¹² A srdce své učinili kámen přetvrdý, aby neslyšeli zákona toho a slov těch, kteráž posílal Hospodin zástupů Duchem svým skrze proroky předešlé. Pročež přišel hněv veliký od Hospodina zástupů. ¹³ Nebo stalo se, že jakož volajícího neslyšeli, tak když volali, neslyšel jsem, praví Hospodin zástupů. ¹⁴ A vichřicí rozptýlil jsem je mezi všecky ty národy, kterýchž neznali, a země tato spustla po nich, tak že nebylo žádného, kdo by tudy chodil, a tak přivedli zemi žádoucí na spuštění.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og det skete i Kong Darius's fjerde Aar, at HERRENS Ord kom til Sakarias paa den fjerde Dag i den niende Maaned, det er i Kislev. ² Og Bethel sendte Sarezer og Regem-Melek og hans Mænd for at bede ydmygelig for HERRENS Ansigt, ³ idet de skulde sige til Præsterne som vare ved den HERRE Zebaoths Hus, og til Profeterne saaledes: Mon jeg skal græde i den femte Maaned under Afholdenhed, som jeg har gjort nu saa mange Aar? ⁴ Da kom den HERRE Zebaoths Ord til mig saalunde: ⁵ Sig til alt Folket i Landet og til Præsterne: Naar I have fastet og sørget i den femte og i den syvende Maaned, og dette nu i halvfjeldsindstyve Aar, mon I da virkelig have fastet for mig? ⁶ Og naar I æde, og naar I drikke, er det da ikke eder, som æde, og eder, som drikke ⁷ Mindes I ikke de Ord, som HERREN forkyndte ved de første Profeter, der Jerusalem var beboet og var rolig, og dens Stæder trindt omkring den Sydlandet og Lavlandet vare beboede? ⁸ Og HERRENS Ord kom til Sakarias saaledes: ⁹ Saa siger den HERRE Zebaoth: Dømmer Sandheds Dom, og gører Miskundhed og Barmhjertighed, hver imod sin Broder, ¹⁰ og undertrykker ikke Enken eller den faderløse, den fremmede eller den elendige; og optænker ikke ondt imod en Broder i eders Hjerte ¹¹ Men de vægrede sig ved at give Agt derpaa og vendte modvilligt Ryg, og de gjorde deres Øren tunghørende for ikke at høre. ¹² Og de gjorde deres Hjerte som Demarit for ikke at høre Loven og Ordene, hvilke den HERRE Zebaoth sendte ved sin Aand igennem de første Profeter, og der kom en stor Vrede fra den HERRE Zebaoth: ¹³ Og det skete, ligesom han raabte, og de hørte ikke: Saaledes skulle de raabe, og jeg vil ikke høre, sagde den HERRE Zebaoth; ¹⁴ men jeg vil bortdrive dem som ved en Storm iblandt alle de Hedningefolk, som de ikke, have kendt, og Landet skal være Ødelagt efter dem, saa at ingen gaar igennem det frem eller tilbage. Og de gjorde det herlige Land til en Ørk.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 大利烏王第四年九月，就是基斯流月初四日，耶和華的話臨到撒迦利亞。 ² 那時伯特利人已經打發沙利色和利堅米勒，並跟從他們的人，去懇求耶和華的恩， ³ 並問萬軍之耶和華殿中的祭司和先知說：我歷年以來，在五月間哭泣齋戒，現在還當這樣行麼？ ⁴ 萬軍之耶和華的話就臨到我說： ⁵ 你要宣告國內的眾民和祭司，說：你們這七十年，在五月、七月禁食悲哀，豈是絲毫向我禁食麼？ ⁶ 你們吃喝，不是為自己吃，為自己喝麼？ ⁷ 當耶路撒冷和四圍的城邑有居民，正興盛，南地高原有人居住的時候，耶和華藉從前的先知所宣告的話，你們不當聽麼？ ⁸ 耶和華的話又臨到撒迦利亞說： ⁹ 萬軍之耶和華曾對你們的列祖如此說：要按至理判斷，各人以慈愛憐憫弟兄。 ¹⁰ 不可欺壓寡婦、孤兒、寄居的，和貧窮人。誰都不可心裡謀害弟兄。 ¹¹ 他們卻不肯聽從，扭轉肩頭，塞耳不聽， ¹² 使心硬如金鋼石，不聽律法和萬軍之耶和華用靈藉從前的先知所說的話。故此，萬軍之耶和華大發烈怒。 ¹³ 萬軍之耶和華說：我曾呼喚他們，他們不聽；將來他們呼求我，我也不聽！ ¹⁴ 我必以旋風吹散他們到素不認識的萬國中。這樣，他們的地就荒涼，甚至無人來往經過，因為他們使美好之地荒涼了。

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ja neljäntenä kunigas Dariuksen vuotena tapahtui Herran sana Sakarjalle, neljäntenä päivänä yhdeksännessä kuukaudessa, joka kutsutaan Kislev. ² Kuin he lähettivät Sareserin, ja Regemmelekin, ja heidän miehensä Jumalan huoneeseen rukoilemaan Herran eteen, ³ Ja sanomaan papeille, jotka olivat Herran Zebaotin huoneessa, ja prophetaille: vieläkö minun nyt pitää itkemän viidentenä kuukautena, ja vaivaaman minuani, niinkuin minä tähän asti muutamina vuosina tehnyt olen? ⁴ Ja Herran Zebaotin sana tapahtui minulle ja sanoi: ⁵ Puhu kaikelle maan kansalle ja papeille, sanoen: kuin te paastositte ja paruitte viidennellä ja seitsemännellä kuukaudella, nyt seitsemänkymmentä vuotta, oletteko te minulle paastonneet? ⁶ Ja kuin te syötte ja juotte, ettekö te syö ja juo itse teillenne? ⁷ Eikö tämä se ole, jota Herra antoi entisten prophetain saarnata, kuin vielä Jerusalemissa asuttiin, ja oli lepo kaupungeissa ympärillä, kuin asuttiin sekä etelään päin että laaksoissa? ⁸ Ja Herran sana tapahtui Sakarjalle, sanoen: ⁹ Näin sanoo Herra Zebaot: tuomitkaat oikein, ja tehkäät jokainen hyvää ja laupiutta veljellensä. ¹⁰ Ja älkäät tehkö vääryyttä leskille ja orvoille, muukalaisille ja köyhille: ja älkään kenkään ajatelko pahaa sydämessänsä veljiänsä vastaan. ¹¹ Mutta ei he näistä tahtoneet ottaa vaaria, vaan käänsivät selkänsä minua vastaan, ja tukitsivat korviansa, ettei he kuulisi; ¹² Ja asettivat sydämensä niinkuin timantin, ettei he kuulisi lakia ja sanoja, jotka Herra Zebaot hengellänsä lähetti entisten prophetain kautta: sentähden on niin suuri viha Herralta Zebaotilta tullut. ¹³ Ja se on niin tapahtunut kuin saarnattiinkin; mutta ettei he tahtoneet kuulla, niin en minäkään tahtonut kuulla, kuin he huusivat, sanoo Herra Zebaot. ¹⁴ Ja niin minä olen heidät hajoittanut kaikkein pakanain sekaan, joita ei he tunteneet; ja maa on heidän jälkeensä autioksi jäänyt, ettei kenkään siinä vaella eikä asu; sillä he ovat sen ihanan maan hävittäneet.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kuningas Daarejaveksen neljäntenä vuotena tuli Herran sana Sakarjalle, neljäntenä päivänä yhdeksännessä kuussa, kislev-kuussa. ² Beetel oli lähettänyt Sareserin ja Regem-Melekin miehinensä etsimään Herran mielisuosiota ³ ja kysymään Herran Sebaotin temppelin papeilta ynnä profeetoilta näin: "Onko minun viidennessä kuussa itkettävä ja noudatettava pidättyväisyyttä, niin kuin minä olen tehnyt jo kuinka monina vuosina?" ⁴ Niin minulle tuli tämä Herran Sebaotin sana: ⁵ "Sano kaikelle maan kansalle ja papeille näin: Kun te olette paastonneet ja valittaneet viidennessä ja seitsemännessä kuussa, ja jo seitsemänäkymmenenä vuotena, niin minulleko te olette paastonne paastonneet? ⁶ Ja kun olette syöneet ja juoneet, niin ettekö te ole itsellenne syöneet ja juoneet? ⁷ Eikö niin: pitäkää ne sanat, jotka Herra on julistanut entisten profeettain kautta, kun Jerusalem vielä oli asuttuna ja levossa, ympärillään alaisensa kaupungit, ja Etelämaa ja Alankomaa olivat asutut?" ⁸ Ja Sakarjalle tuli tämä Herran sana: ⁹ "Näin sanoo Herra Sebaot: Tuomitkaa oikea tuomio, tehkää laupeus ja olkaa armahtavaiset kukin veljellenne, ¹⁰ leskeä, orpoa, muukalaista ja kurjaa älkää sortako, älkääkä miettikö mielessänne pahaa, kukin veljeänsä vastaan. ¹¹ Mutta he eivät tahtoneet ottaa vaaria, vaan käänsivät uppiniskaisina selkänsä ja kovettivat korvansa, etteivät kuulisi. ¹² Ja he tekivät sydämensä kovaksi kuin timantti, etteivät kuulisi lakia eikä niitä sanoja, mitkä Herra Sebaot on lähettänyt Henkensä voimalla entisten profeettain kautta; ja niin on Herralta Sebaotilta tullut suuri vihastus. ¹³ Samoin kuin hän huusi, mutta he eivät kuulleet, samoin he huutavat, mutta minä en kuule, sanoo Herra Sebaot. ¹⁴ Ja minä myrskynä karkoitan heidät kaikkien pakanakansojen sekaan, joita he eivät tunne, ja maa jää heidän jälkeensä autioksi menijöistä ja tulijoista. Ihanan maan he tekevät autioksi."

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ És lõn a Dárius király negyedik esztendejében, hogy szóla az Úr Zakariáshoz a kilenczedik hónapnak, a Kiszlévnek negyedikén, ² Mikor elküldék az Isten házába Saréczert és Régem-Méleket és társait, hogy esedezzenek az Úr színe elõtt, ³ [És] hogy megkérdezzék a papokat, a kik a Seregek Urának házában vannak, és megkérdezzék a prófétákat is: Sírjak-é az ötödik hónapban [és] bõjtöljek-é, a mint cselekedtem azt néhány esztendõ óta? ⁴ Szóla ekkor a Seregeknek Ura nékem, mondván: ⁵ Szólj az ország minden népének és a papoknak, mondván: Mikor bõjtöltetek és gyászoltatok az ötödik és hetedik [hónap]ban, és pedig hetven esztendeig: avagy bõjtölvén, nékem bõjtöltetek-é? ⁶ És mikor ettetek, és mikor ittatok: avagy nem magatoknak ettetek és magatoknak ittatok-é? ⁷ Avagy nem [ezek] a beszédek-é [azok,] a melyeket szólott vala az Úr az elõbbi próféták által, mikor még Jeruzsálem népes és gazdag vala a körülte levõ városokkal együtt, és mind a déli táj, mind a lapály-föld népes vala? ⁸ És szóla az Úr Zakariásnak, mondván: ⁹ Így szólt a Seregeknek Ura, mondván: Igaz ítélettel ítéljetek, és irgalmasságot és könyörületességet gyakoroljon kiki az õ felebarátjával! ¹⁰ Özvegyet és árvát, jövevényt és szegényt meg ne sarczoljatok, és egymás ellen még szívetekben se gondoljatok gonoszt. ¹¹ De nem akarák meghallani, sõt vállaikat vonogaták, és bedugák füleiket, hogy ne halljanak. ¹² Szívöket is megkeményíték, hogy ne hallják a törvényt és az igéket, a melyeket a Seregeknek Ura küldött vala az õ lelke által, az elébbi próféták által.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pada tanggal empat bulan Kislew, yaitu bulan sembilan, dalam tahun keempat pemerintahan Raja Darius, TUHAN memberi pesan lagi kepadaku. ² Penduduk Betel telah mengutus Sarezer dan Regem-Melekh serta anak buah mereka ke Rumah TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa untuk memohon berkat-Nya. ³ Mereka juga disuruh bertanya kepada imam-imam dan para nabi, begini, "Masih perlukah kami meratapi kehancuran Rumah TUHAN dengan berpuasa pada tiap bulan kelima seperti yang telah kami lakukan bertahun-tahun lamanya?" ⁴ Inilah pesan TUHAN yang datang kepadaku. ⁵ Kata-Nya, "Sampaikanlah kepada seluruh penduduk negeri ini dan kepada para imam, bahwa puasa dan ratapan yang mereka lakukan pada bulan kelima dan ketujuh selama tujuh puluh tahun ini bukanlah penghormatan bagi-Ku. ⁶ Juga ketika mereka makan dan minum, mereka mencari kepuasan sendiri." ⁷ Itulah yang dikatakan TUHAN melalui nabi-nabi di zaman lampau pada waktu Yerusalem masih didiami dan penduduknya makmur. Pada waktu itu orang tidak hanya tinggal di desa-desa di sekitar kota tetapi bahkan di bagian selatan dan di kaki-kaki bukit di sebelah barat. ⁸ TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa memberikan pesan ini kepadaku, ⁹ "Bertahun-tahun yang lalu Kuberikan perintah-perintah ini kepada umat-Ku, 'Kamu harus bersikap adil, berbelaskasihan dan baik hati terhadap sesamamu. ¹⁰ Janganlah menindas para janda, anak-anak yatim-piatu, orang-orang asing yang menetap di tengah-tengah kamu, atau siapa saja yang dalam keadaan susah. Dan jangan pula merencanakan yang jahat terhadap sesamamu.' ¹¹ Tetapi umat-Ku keras kepala dan sama sekali tak mau mendengarkan; mereka menyumbat telinga mereka supaya tidak mendengar. ¹² Mereka mengeraskan hati mereka sehingga menjadi sekeras batu. Aku marah sekali karena mereka tidak menurut ajaran-ajaran yang telah Kuberikan kepada mereka dengan perantaraan nabi-nabi yang dahulu. ¹³ Aku tidak menjawab doa mereka, karena mereka pun tidak mendengarkan ketika Aku berbicara. ¹⁴ Seperti badai, Aku telah menyapu mereka sehingga mereka terpaksa tinggal di negeri-negeri asing. Tanah yang subur ini telah menjadi sunyi sepi tak berpenghuni dan tandus."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ POI avvenne nell’anno quarto del re Dario, che la parola del Signore fu indirizzata a Zaccaria, nel quarto giorno del nono mese, cioè, di Chisleu; ² quando que’ della Casa di Dio ebbero mandati Sareser, e Reghemmelec, e i lor principali, per far supplicazione nel cospetto del Signore; ³ e per dire a’ sacerdoti della Casa del Signor degli eserciti, ed a’ profeti, in questa maniera: Piangerò io nel quinto mese, separandomi, come ho fatto già per tanti anni? ⁴ E la parola del Signore mi fu indirizzata, dicendo: ⁵ Parla a tutto il popolo del paese, ed ai sacerdoti, dicendo: Quando voi avete digiunato, e pianto, nel quinto, e nel settimo mese, lo spazio di settant’anni, avete voi pur digiunato a me? ⁶ E quando voi mangiate, e quando bevete, non siete voi quelli che mangiate, e che bevete? ⁷ Non son queste le parole che il Signore ha fatte predicare per li profeti de’ tempi passati, mentre Gerusalemme era abitata, e tranquilla, insieme con le sue città d’intorno; ed era parimente abitata la parte meridionale, e la pianura? ⁸ Poi la parola del Signore fu indirizzata a Zaccaria, dicendo: ⁹ Così disse già il Signor degli eserciti: Fate fedel giudicio, ed usate benignità, e pietà, ciascuno inverso il suo fratello. ¹⁰ E non oppressate la vedova, nè l’orfano, nè il forestiere nè il povero; e non macchinate nel vostro cuore male alcuno l’un contro all’altro. ¹¹ Ma essi ricusarono di attendere, e porsero una spalla ritrosa, ed aggravarono le loro orecchie, per non ascoltare; ¹² e rendettero il cuor loro simile ad un diamante, per non ascoltar la Legge, nè le parole che il Signor degli eserciti mandava a dir loro per lo suo Spirito, per lo ministerio de’ profeti de’ tempi passati; laonde vi è stata grande indegnazione da parte del Signor degli eserciti. ¹³ Ed è avvenuto che, come quando egli chiamava, essi non ascoltarono; così, quando hanno gridato, io non li ho ascoltati, ha detto il Signor degli eserciti. ¹⁴ Ed io li ho dissipati fra tutte le genti, le quali essi non conoscevano; e il paese è stato desolato dietro a loro, senza che alcuno andasse, o venisse più per esso; ed essi han messo il paese dilettissimo in desolazione.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ E avvenne che il quarto anno del re Dario la parola dell’Eterno fu rivolta a Zaccaria, il quarto giorno del nono mese, cioè di Chisleu. ² Quelli di Bethel avean mandato Saretser e Reghem-melec con la loro gente per implorare il favore dell’Eterno, ³ e per parlare ai sacerdoti della casa dell’Eterno degli eserciti e ai profeti, in questo modo: "Dobbiam noi continuare a piangere il quinto mese e a fare astinenza come abbiam fatto per tanti anni?" ⁴ E la parola dell’Eterno mi fu rivolta in questi termini: ⁵ "Parla a tutto il popolo del paese e ai sacerdoti, e di’: Quando avete digiunato e fatto cordoglio il quinto e il settimo mese durante questi settant’anni, avete voi digiunato per me, proprio per me? ⁶ E quando mangiate e quando bevete, non siete voi che mangiate, voi che bevete? ⁷ Non dovreste voi dare ascolto alle parole che l’Eterno degli eserciti ha proclamate per mezzo dei profeti di prima, quando Gerusalemme era abitata e tranquilla, con le sue città all’intorno, ed eran pure abitati il mezzogiorno e la pianura?" ⁸ E la parola dell’Eterno fu rivolta a Zaccaria, in questi termini: ⁹ "Così parlava l’Eterno degli eserciti: Fate giustizia fedelmente, e mostrate l’uno per l’altro bontà e compassione; ¹⁰ e non opprimete la vedova né l’orfano, lo straniero né il povero; e nessuno di voi macchini del male contro il fratello nel suo cuore. ¹¹ Ma essi rifiutarono di fare attenzione, opposero una spalla ribelle, e si tapparono gli orecchi per non udire. ¹² Resero il loro cuore duro come il diamante, per non ascoltare la legge e le parole che l’Eterno degli eserciti mandava loro per mezzo del suo spirito, per mezzo dei profeti di prima; perciò ci fu grande indignazione da parte dell’Eterno degli eserciti. ¹³ E avvenne che siccome egli chiamava, e quelli non davano ascolto, così quelli chiameranno, e io non darò ascolto, dice l’Eterno degli eserciti; ¹⁴ e li disperderò tra tutte le nazioni ch’essi non hanno mai conosciute, e il paese rimarrà desolato dietro a loro, senza più nessuno che vi passi o vi ritorni.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Potem stało się roku czwartego Daryjusza króla, stało się słowo Pańskie do Zacharyjasza dnia czwartego, miesiąca dziewiątego, który jest Kislew; ² Gdy posłał lud do domu Bożego Sarassara i Regiemmelecha, i mężów jego, aby się modlili przed obliczem Pańskiem; ³ I aby mówili do kapłanów, którzy byli w domu Pana zastępów, także i do proroków, mówiąc: Izali jeszcze płakać będę miesiąca piątego, wyłączywszy się tak, jakom już czynił przez kilka lat? ⁴ I stało się słowo Pana zastępów do mnie, mówiąc: ⁵ Rzecz do wszystkiego ludu tej ziemi, i do kapłanów, mówiąc: Gdyście pościli i płakali piątego i siódmego miesiąca przez te siedmdziesiąt lat, izażeście mnie, mnie, mówię, post pościli? ⁶ A gdy jecie albo pijecie, izali nie sobie jecie i nie sobie pijecie? ⁷ Izaliście nie tak czynić mieli według słowa, które przepowiedział Pan przez proroków przeszłych, gdy jeszcze Jeruzalem bezpieczeństwa i pokoju używało, i miasta jego około niego, i lud w stronie południowej i po polach mieszkał (w pokoju?) ⁸ I stało się słowo Pańskie do Zacharyjasza, mówiąc: ⁹ Tak powiedział Pan zastępów, mówiąc: Sprawiedliwie sądźcie, a miłosierdzie i litość pokazujcie każdy nad bliźnim swoim; ¹⁰ A wdowy i sieroty, i przychodnia, i ubogiego nie uciskajcie, i złego jeden przeciwko drugiemu nie myślcie w sercu swojem. ¹¹ Ale nie chcieli dbać; i obrócili się tyłem, a uszy swe zatulili, aby nie słuchali. ¹² Serca też swe zatwardzili jako dyjament, aby nie słuchali zakonu tego i słów, które posyłał Pan zastępów duchem swoim przez proroków przeszłych, skąd przyszedł wielki gniew od Pana zastępów. ¹³ Bo jako oni, gdy ich wołano, nie słuchali, tak też, gdy oni wołali, nie wysłuchałem, mówi Pan zastępów. ¹⁴ I rozproszyłem ich jako wicher między wszystkie narody, które nie znali, i ta ziemia spustoszała po nich, tak, że nie był przechodzący i wracający się, a tak ziemię pożądaną w spustoszenie obrócili.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Aconteceu no ano quarto do rei Dario, que a palavra do Senhor veio a Zacarias, no dia quarto do nono mês, que é quisleu: ² Ora, o povo de Betel tinha enviado Sarécer, e Reguem-Mélec, e os seus homens, para suplicarem o favor do Senhor, ³ e para dizerem aos sacerdotes, que estavam na casa do Senhor dos exércitos, e aos profetas: Chorarei eu no quinto mês, com jejum, como o tenho feito por tantos anos? ⁴ Então a palavra do Senhor dos exércitos veio a mim, dizendo: ⁵ Fala a todo o povo desta terra, e aos sacerdotes, dizendo: Quando jejuastes, e pranteastes, no quinto e no sétimo mês, durante estes setenta anos, acaso foi mesmo para mim que jejuastes? ⁶ Ou quando comeis e quando bebeis, não é para vós mesmos que comeis e bebeis? ⁷ Não eram estas as palavras que o Senhor proferiu por intermédio dos profetas antigos, quando Jerusalém estava habitada e próspera, juntamente com as suas cidades ao redor dela, e quando o Sul e a campina eram habitados? ⁸ E a palavra do Senhor veio a Zacarias, dizendo: ⁹ Assim falou o Senhor dos exércitos: Executai juízo verdadeiro, mostrai bondade e compaixão cada um para com o seu irmão; ¹⁰ e não oprimais a viúva, nem o órfão, nem o estrangeiro, nem o pobre; e nenhum de vós intente no seu coração o mal contra o seu irmão. ¹¹ Eles, porém, não quiseram escutar, e me deram o ombro rebelde, e taparam os ouvidos, para que não ouvissem. ¹² Sim, fizeram duro como diamante o seu coração, para não ouvirem a lei, nem as palavras que o Senhor dos exércitos enviara pelo seu Espírito mediante os profetas antigos; por isso veio a grande ira do Senhor dos exércitos. ¹³ Assim como eu clamei, e eles não ouviram, assim também eles clamaram, e eu não ouvi, diz o Senhor dos exércitos; ¹⁴ mas os espalhei com um turbilhão por entre todas as nações, que eles não conheceram. Assim, pois, a terra foi assolada atrás deles, de sorte que ninguém passava por ela, nem voltava; porquanto fizeram da terra desejada uma desolação.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Så var det i kong Darius' fjerde år, da kom Herrens ord til Sakarias på den fjerde dag i den niende måned, i måneden kislev. ² For Betel hadde sendt Sareser og Regem-Melek og hans menn for å bønnfalle Herren ³ og spørre prestene i Herrens, hærskarenes Guds hus og profetene: Skal vi gråte og faste i den femte måned, som vi nu har gjort i så mange år? ⁴ Da kom Herrens, hærskarenes Guds ord til mig, og det lød så: ⁵ Si til alt folket i landet og til prestene: Når I har fastet og klaget i den femte* og i den syvende** måned, og det nu i sytti år***, er det da for min skyld I har fastet? / {* da blev templet ødelagt; 2KG 25, 8 fg.} / {** da blev Gedalja myrdet; 2KG 25, 25. JER 41, 2.} / {*** SKR 1, 12. JER 25, 11.} ⁶ Og når I eter og drikker, er det da ikke I selv som eter, og I selv som drikker? ⁷ Minnes I ikke de ord Herren lot utrope ved de forrige profeter, da Jerusalem lå der i ro og fred med sine byer rundt om, og likeså sydlandet og lavlandet? ⁸ Og Herrens ord kom til Sakarias, og det lød så: ⁹ Så sa Herren, hærskarenes Gud: Døm rettferdige dommer og vis miskunnhet og barmhjertighet mot hverandre, ¹⁰ og undertrykk ikke enker og farløse, fremmede og arminger, og tenk ikke ut ondt mot hverandre i eders hjerte! ¹¹ Men de vilde ikke akte på det, men satte i sin gjenstridighet skulderen imot, og sine ører gjorde de døve, så de ikke hørte, ¹² og sitt hjerte gjorde de hårdt som en diamant, så de ikke hørte på loven og de ord Herren, hærskarenes Gud, sendte ved sin Ånd gjennem de forrige profeter; derfor kom det en stor vrede fra Herren, hærskarenes Gud. ¹³ Og likesom han ropte, og de ikke hørte, således, sa Herren, hærskarenes Gud, skal de rope, og jeg vil ikke høre, ¹⁴ men jeg vil sprede dem som i en stormvind blandt alle hedningefolkene, som de ikke kjenner, og landet skal ligge øde efter dem, så ingen drar frem eller tilbake der. Og således gjorde de det herlige land til en ørken.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ În anul al patrulea al împăratului Dariu, Cuvîntul Domnului a vorbit lui Zaharia, în ziua a patra a lunii a noua, care este luna lui Chisleu. ² Cei din Betel trimiseseră pe Şareţer şi pe Reghem-Melec cu oamenii săi, să se roage Domnului, ³ şi să întrebe pe preoţii din Casa Domnului oştirilor şi pe prooroci:,,Trebuie să plîng şi în luna a cincea şi să mă înfrînez, cum am făcut atîţia ani?`` ⁴ Atunci Cuvîntul Domnului oştirilor mi -a vorbit astfel: ⁵ ,,Spune la tot poporul ţării şi preoţilor: ...Cînd aţi postit şi aţi plîns în luna a cincea şi a şaptea, în aceşti şaptezeci de ani, oare pentru Mine aţi postit voi? ⁶ Şi cînd mîncaţi şi beţi, nu sînteţi voi ceice mîncaţi şi beţi? ⁷ Nu cunoaşteţi cuvintele, pe cari le -a vestit Domnul prin proorocii de mai înainte, cînd Ierusalimul era încă locuit şi liniştit împreună cu cetăţile lui de primprejur, şi cînd şi partea de miază-zi şi cîmpia erau locuite?``... ⁸ Cuvîntul Domnului a vorbit lui Zaharia astfel: ⁹ ,,Aşa a vorbit Domnul oştirilor: ...Faceţi cu adevărat dreptate, şi purtaţi-vă cu bunătate şi îndurare unul faţă de altul. ¹⁰ Nu asupriţi pe văduvă şi pe orfan, nici pe străin şi pe sărac, şi niciunul să nu gîndească rău în inima lui împotriva fratelui său.``... ¹¹ Dar ei n'au vrut să ia aminte, ci au întors spatele, şi şi-au astupat urechile ca să n'audă. ¹² Şi-au făcut inima ca diamantul de tare, ca să n'asculte Legea, nici cuvintele pe cari li le spunea Domnul oştirilor, prin Duhul Său, prin proorocii de mai înainte. Din pricina aceasta Domnul oştirilor S'a aprins de o mare mînie. ¹³ Cînd chema El, ei n'au vrut s'asculte:,,De aceea nici Eu n'am vrut s'ascult, cînd au chemat ei, zice Domnul oştirilor.`` ¹⁴ ,,Ci i-am împrăştiat printre toate neamurile pe cari nu le cunoşteau; ţara a fost pustiită în urma lor, aşa că nimeni nu mai venea şi nu mai pleca din ea; şi dintr -o ţară plăcută cum era, au făcut o pustie!``

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ І сталося, у четвертому році царя Дарія було Господнє слово до Захарія четвертого дня дев'ятого місяця, кіслева. ² І послав Бет-Ел Сар'ецера й Реґем-Мелеха та людей його, щоб Господа вблагати, ³ щоб сказати священикам, які в домі Господа Саваота, та пророкам, говорячи: Чи я маю плакати п'ятого місяця та постити, як я робив це багато років? ⁴ І було слово Господа Саваота таке: ⁵ Говори до всього народу землі й до священиків, кажучи: Якщо ви постили та лементували п'ятого й сьомого місяця, і то сімдесят років чи то ви постили для Мене? ⁶ А коли ви їсте та коли ви п'єте, чи ж то не собі ви їсте й не собі ви п'єте? ⁷ Чи ж це не ті слова, які Господь виголошував через давніх пророків, коли Єрусалим був населений та спокійний, і його міста навколо нього, і південь, і рівнина були населені? ⁸ І було до Захарія слово Господнє таке: ⁹ Так говорить Господь Саваот, промовляючи: Судіть суд по правді, і чиніть один одному милосердя та милість. ¹⁰ А вдови й сироти, чужинця та вбогого не гнобіть, і не думайте зла один одному в серці своєму! ¹¹ Та вони не хотіли слухати, і відвернули своє рамено від Мене, а вуха свої вчинили тяжкими, щоб не слухати, ¹² і серце своє зробили кременем, щоб не слухати Закону, та тих слів, що послав Господь Саваот Своїм Духом через давніх пророків. І був великий гнів від Господа Саваота. ¹³ І сталося, як Я кликав, то вони не слухалися, так вони будуть кликати, та не буду Я слухати, каже Господь Саваот. ¹⁴ І розвіяв Я їх по всіх народах, які не знали їх, а Край був спустошений по них, так що не було такого, хто б переходив чи вертався, і вони зробили улюблений Край спустошенням.
