1 AND IT WAS IN YEAR FOUR OF DARIUS THE KING IT CAME [THE] WORD OF YAHWEH TO ZECHARIAH ON [DAY] FOUR OF THE MONTH <THE> NINTH IN KISLEV
A Call to Justice and Mercy
1 In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
2 AND IT HAD SENT BETH- -EL SHAR- -EZER AND REGEM- MELECH AND MEN HIS TO ENTREAT <OBJ.> [THE] FACE OF YAHWEH
2 Now the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, along with their men, to plead before the LORD
3 TO SAY TO THE PRIESTS WHO [BELONGED] TO [THE] HOUSE OF YAHWEH OF HOSTS AND TO THE PROPHETS <TO> SAYING ¿ WILL I WEEP IN THE MONTH <THE> FIFTH WILL I CONSECRATE MYSELF? JUST AS I HAVE DONE THIS HOW MANY? YEARS
3 by asking the priests of the house of the LORD of Hosts, as well as the prophets, “Should I weep and fast in the fifth month, as I have done these many years?”
4 AND IT CAME [THE] WORD OF YAHWEH OF HOSTS TO ME <TO> SAYING
4 Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,
5 SAY TO ALL [THE] PEOPLE OF THE LAND AND TO THE PRIESTS <TO> SAYING THAT YOU FASTED AND YOU MOURNED IN THE FIFTH [MONTH] AND IN THE SEVENTH [MONTH] AND THIS SEVENTY YEAR[S] ¿ REALLY <TO FAST> DID YOU FAST FOR ME ME
5 “Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for these seventy years, was it really for Me that you fasted?
6 AND IF YOU EAT AND IF YOU DRINK ¿ NOT [ARE] YOU THE [ONES WHO] EAT AND [ARE] YOU? THE [ONES WHO] DRINK
6 And when you were eating and drinking, were you not doing so simply for yourselves?
7 ¿ NOT [ARE] <OBJ.> THE WORDS WHICH HE PROCLAIMED YAHWEH BY [THE] HAND OF THE PROPHETS <THE> FORMER WHEN WAS JERUSALEM REMAINING AND AT EASE AND CITIES ITS AROUND IT AND THE NEGEV AND THE SHEPHELAH [WAS] REMAINING
7 Are these not the words that the LORD proclaimed through the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were populous and prosperous, and the Negev and the foothills were inhabited?’”
8 AND IT CAME [THE] WORD OF YAHWEH TO ZECHARIAH <TO> SAYING
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,
9 THUS HE SAYS YAHWEH OF HOSTS <TO> SAYING JUSTICE OF FAITHFULNESS JUDGE AND LOYALTY AND COMPASSION<S> DO EACH WITH BROTHER HIS
9 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Administer true justice. Show loving devotion and compassion to one another.
10 AND [THE] WIDOW AND [THE] FATHERLESS [THE] SOJOURNER AND [THE] POOR MAY NOT YOU OPPRESS AND [THE] HARM OF EACH BROTHER HIS MAY NOT YOU PLAN IN HEART YOUR
10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. And do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.’
11 AND THEY REFUSED TO PAY ATTENTION AND THEY GAVE A SHOULDER STUBBORN AND EARS THEIR THEY MADE HEAVY FROM HEARING
11 But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they stopped up their ears from hearing.
12 AND HEART THEIR THEY MADE FLINT FROM HEARING <OBJ.> THE LAW AND <OBJ.> THE WORDS WHICH HE HAD SENT YAHWEH OF HOSTS BY SPIRIT HIS BY [THE] HAND OF THE PROPHETS <THE> FORMER AND IT WAS WRATH GREAT FROM WITH YAHWEH OF HOSTS
12 They made their hearts like flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of Hosts.
13 AND IT WAS JUST AS HE CALLED AND NOT THEY LISTENED SO THEY CALLED AND NOT I LISTENED HE SAYS YAHWEH OF HOSTS
13 And just as I had called and they would not listen, so when they called I would not listen, says the LORD of Hosts.
14 AND I WILL STORM AWAY THEM TO ALL THE NATIONS WHICH NOT THEY HAVE KNOWN THEM AND THE LAND IT WAS DESOLATE BEHIND THEM FROM [ONE WHO] PASSES BY AND FROM [ONE WHO] RETURNS AND THEY MADE A LAND OF DESIRE INTO A WASTE
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations that they had not known, and the land was left desolate behind them so that no one could come or go. Thus they turned the pleasant land into a desolation.”
