Zekeriya 12

¹İsrail hakkında Rab'bin sözünün bildirisi; gökleri geren, yerin temelini atan ve insanın içindeki ruhu şekillendiren Rab şöyle diyor:

²"İşte, Yeruşalim'i çevredeki tüm halklar için sarsılan kapı eşikleri yapacağım; Yahuda'da da Yeruşalim'e karşı bir kuşatma olacak.

³Ve o gün geldiğinde, Yeruşalim'i tüm uluslar için ayaklar altında çiğnenen bir taş yapacağım; onu çiğneyen herkes kesinlikle alay konusu edilecek ve yeryüzünün tüm ulusları ona karşı toplanacak.

⁴O gün," der Her Şeye Gücü Yeten Rab, "her atı dehşetle, binicisini de delilikle vuracağım; ama Yahuda evinin üzerine gözlerimi açacağım ve halkların tüm atlarını körlükle vuracağım.

⁵Yahuda'nın binbaşıları yüreklerinde şöyle diyecekler: 'Yeruşalim'de yaşayanları, kendimiz için onların Tanrısı Her Şeye Gücü Yeten Rab'de bulacağız.'

⁶O gün Yahuda'nın binbaşılarını odunlar arasında yanan bir kor gibi, anızlar arasında yanan bir ateş meşalesi gibi yapacağım; sağdan ve soldan çevredeki tüm halkları yiyip bitirecekler. Yeruşalim ise yine kendi yerinde, Yeruşalim'de iskan edilecek.

⁷Rab, Davut evinin övüncü ve Yeruşalim'de yaşayanların gururu Yahuda'ya karşı büyümesin diye, Yahuda'nın konutlarını başlangıçta olduğu gibi kurtaracaktır.

⁸O gün Rab Yeruşalim'de yaşayanlara kalkan olacak; o gün aralarındaki en zayıf kişi Davut gibi olacak, Davut evi ise Tanrı'nın evi gibi, önlerindeki Rab'bin meleği gibi olacak.

⁹Ve o gün Yeruşalim'e karşı gelen tüm ulusları ortadan kaldırmayı amaçlayacağım.

¹⁰Davut evinin ve Yeruşalim'de yaşayanların üzerine lütuf ve acıma ruhunu dökeceğim; alay ederek tepindikleri için bana bakacaklar ve biricik sevgili evlat için yas tutar gibi onun için dövünerek yas tutacaklar, ilk doğan oğul için acı çekilir gibi acı çekecekler.

¹¹O gün Yeruşalim'deki yas, ovada kesilen nar bahçesindeki yas kadar büyük olacak.

¹²Ülke kabile kabile yas tutacak: Davut evinin kabilesi kendi başına, kadınları kendi başlarına; Natan evinin kabilesi kendi başına, kadınları kendi başlarına;

¹³Levi evinin kabilesi kendi başına, kadınları kendi başlarına; Simeon kabilesi kendi başına, kadınları kendi başlarına;

¹⁴geriye kalan tüm kabileler, her kabile kendi başına ve kadınları kendi başlarına yas tutacak."

¹ΛΗΜΜΑ λόγου Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ· λέγει Κύριος ἐκτείνων οὐρανὸν καὶ θεμελιῶν γῆν καὶ πλάσσων πνεῦμα ἀνθρώπου ἐν αὐτῷ·

²ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ὡς πρόθυρα σαλευόμενα πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς κύκλῳ, καὶ ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ ἔσται περιοχὴ ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

³καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ θήσομαι τὴν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ λίθον καταπατούμενον πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσι· πᾶς ὁ καταπατῶν αὐτὴν ἐμπαίζων ἐμπαίξεται, καὶ ἐπισυναχθήσονται ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς.

⁴ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, πατάξω πάντα ἵππον ἐν ἐκστάσει καὶ τὸν ἀναβάτην αὐτοῦ ἐν παραφρονήσει, ἐπὶ δὲ τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ιούδα διανοίξω τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἵππους τῶν λαῶν πατάξω ἐν ἀποτυφλώσει.

⁵καὶ ἐροῦσιν οἱ χιλίαρχοι ᾿Ιούδα ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν· εὑρήσομεν ἑαυτοῖς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐν Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι Θεῷ αὐτῶν.

⁶ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ θήσομαι τοὺς χιλιάρχους ᾿Ιούδα ὡς δαλόν πυρὸς ἐν ξύλοις καὶ ὡς λαμπάδα πυρὸς ἐν καλάμῃ, καὶ καταφάγονται ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων πάντας τοὺς λαοὺς κυκλόθεν, καὶ κατοικήσει ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἔτι καθ᾿ ἑαυτὴν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

⁷καὶ σώσει Κύριος τὰ σκηνώματα ᾿Ιούδα καθὼς ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς, ὅπως μὴ μεγαλύνηται καύχημα οἴκου Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔπαρσις τῶν κατοικούντων ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ιούδα.

⁸καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὑπερασπιεῖ Κύριος ὑπὲρ τῶν κατοικούντων ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἀσθενῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὡς οἶκος Δαυίδ, ὁ δὲ οἶκος Δαυὶδ ὡς οἶκος Θεοῦ, ὡς ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.

⁹καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ζητήσω τοῦ ἐξᾶραι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐρχόμενα ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

¹⁰καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ πνεῦμα χάριτος καὶ οἰκτιρμοῦ, καὶ ἐπιβλέψονται πρός με ἀνθ᾿ ὧν κατωρχήσαντο καὶ κόψονται ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν κοπετόν, ὡς ἐπ᾿ ἀγαπητῷ, καὶ ὀδυνηθήσονται ὀδύνην ὡς ἐπὶ τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ.

¹¹ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ μεγαλυνθήσεται ὁ κοπετὸς ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ὡς κοπετὸς ῥοῶνος ἐν πεδίῳ ἐκκοπτομένου,

¹²καὶ κόψεται ἡ γῆ κατὰ φυλὰς φυλάς· φυλὴ οἴκου Δαυὶδ καθ᾿ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ᾿ ἑαυτάς, φυλὴ οἴκου Νάθαν καθ᾿ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ᾿ ἑαυτάς,

¹³φυλὴ οἴκου Λευὶ καθ᾿ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ᾿ ἑαυτάς, φυλὴ τοῦ Συμεὼν καθ᾿ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ᾿ ἑαυτάς·

¹⁴πᾶσαι αἱ ὑπολελειμμέναι φυλαί, φυλὴ καθ᾿ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ᾿ ἑαυτάς.

¹The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel; saith the Lord, that stretches out the sky, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.

²Behold, I [will] make Jerusalem as trembling door-posts to all the nations round about, and in Judea there shall be a siege against Jerusalem.

³And it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will make Jerusalem a trodden stone to all the nations: every one that tramples on it shall utterly mock at [it], and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.

⁴In that day, saith the Lord Almighty, I will smite every horse with amazement, and his rider with madness: but I will open mine eyes upon the house of Juda, and I will smite all the horses of the nations with blindness.

⁵And the captains of thousands of Juda shall say in their hearts, We shall find for ourselves the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the Lord Almighty their God.

⁶In that day I will make the captains of thousands of Juda as a firebrand among wood, and as a torch of fire in stubble; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the nations round about: and Jerusalem shall dwell again by herself, [even] in Jerusalem.

⁷And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda as at the beginning, that the boast of the house of David, and the pride of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not magnify themselves against Juda.

⁸And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the weak one among them in that day shall be as David, and the house of David as the house of God, as the angel of the Lord before them.

⁹And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

¹⁰And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon me, because they have mocked [me], and they shall make lamentation for him, as for a beloved [friend], and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn [son].

¹¹In that day the lamentation in Jerusalem shall be very great, as the mourning for the pomegranate grove cut down in the plain.

¹²And the land shall lament in separate families, the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;

¹³the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Symeon by itself, and their wives by themselves;

¹⁴all the families that are left, each family by itself, and their wives by themselves.
