Un llamado a volver al Señor
1 En el mes octavo del segundo año del reinado de Darío, la palabra del Señor vino al profeta Zacarías, hijo de Berequías y nieto de Idó:
2 «El Señor está ardiendo en ira contra los antepasados de ustedes. 3 Por lo tanto, advierte al pueblo que así dice el Señor de los Ejércitos:
»“Vuélvanse a mí,
y yo me volveré a ustedes”,
afirma el Señor de los Ejércitos.
4 »“No sean como sus antepasados,
a quienes les proclamaron
los antiguos profetas
que así dice el Señor de los Ejércitos:
‘Vuélvanse de sus malos caminos
y de sus malas prácticas’.
Porque ellos no me obedecieron
ni me prestaron atención”,
afirma el Señor.
5 »“¿Dónde están los antepasados de ustedes?
¿Acaso los profetas vivirán para siempre?
6 ¿No se cumplieron en sus antepasados
las palabras y los estatutos
que a mis siervos los profetas
ordené comunicarles?
»”Entonces ellos se volvieron al Señor y dijeron: ‘El Señor de los Ejércitos nos ha tratado tal y como había decidido hacerlo: conforme a lo que merecen nuestros caminos y nuestras acciones’ ”».
El hombre entre los arrayanes
7 En el segundo año del reinado de Darío, en el día veinticuatro del mes de sebat, que es el mes undécimo, la palabra del Señor vino al profeta Zacarías, hijo de Berequías y nieto de Idó: 8 Una noche tuve una visión, en la que vi a un hombre montado en un caballo rojo. Ese hombre se detuvo entre los arrayanes que había en una hondonada. Detrás de él había jinetes en caballos rojos, marrones y blancos. 9 Yo pregunté: «¿Qué significan estos jinetes, mi señor?». El ángel que hablaba conmigo me respondió: «Voy a explicarte lo que significan». 10 Y el hombre que estaba entre los arrayanes me dijo: «El Señor ha enviado estos jinetes a recorrer la tierra».
11 Los jinetes informaron al ángel del Señor que estaba entre los arrayanes: «Hemos recorrido toda la tierra. Por cierto, la encontramos tranquila y en paz». 12 Ante esto, el ángel del Señor respondió: «Señor de los Ejércitos, ¿hasta cuándo te negarás a compadecerte de Jerusalén y de las ciudades de Judá con las que has estado enojado estos setenta años?».
13 El Señor respondió con palabras buenas y consoladoras al ángel que hablaba conmigo. 14 Luego el ángel me dijo: «Proclama este mensaje de parte del Señor de los Ejércitos:
»“Mi amor por Jerusalén y por Sión
me hace sentir celos por ellas.
15 En cambio, estoy lleno de ira
con las naciones engreídas.
Mi enojo era poco,
pero ellas lo agravaron”.
16 »Por lo tanto, así dice el Señor:
“Volveré a compadecerme de Jerusalén.
Allí se reconstruirá mi Templo
y se extenderá el cordel de medir sobre Jerusalén”,
afirma el Señor de los Ejércitos.
17 »Proclama además lo siguiente de parte del Señor de los Ejércitos:
»“Otra vez mis ciudades rebosarán de bienes,
otra vez el Señor consolará a Sión,
otra vez escogerá a Jerusalén”».
Cuatro cuernos y cuatro herreros
18 Alcé la vista y vi ante mí cuatro cuernos. 19 Pregunté entonces al ángel que hablaba conmigo: «¿Qué significan estos cuernos?». Y el ángel me respondió: «Estos cuernos son los poderes que dispersaron a Judá, a Israel y a Jerusalén».
20 Luego el Señor me mostró cuatro herreros. 21 Pregunté: «¿Y estos qué han venido a hacer?». Me respondió: «Los cuernos son los poderes que dispersaron a Judá, a tal punto que nadie pudo volver a levantar la cabeza. Los herreros han venido para aterrorizarlos y deshacer el poder de las naciones que levantaron su cuerno contra la tierra de Judá y dispersaron a sus habitantes».

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

A Call to Return to the Lord
1 In the eighth month of the second year of Darius,(A) the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah(B) son of Berekiah,(C) the son of Iddo:(D)
2 “The Lord was very angry(E) with your ancestors. 3 Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Return(F) to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’(G) says the Lord Almighty. 4 Do not be like your ancestors,(H) to whom the earlier prophets(I) proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways(J) and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me,(K) declares the Lord.(L) 5 Where are your ancestors now? And the prophets, do they live forever? 6 But did not my words(M) and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your ancestors?(N)
“Then they repented and said, ‘The Lord Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve,(O) just as he determined to do.’”(P)
The Man Among the Myrtle Trees
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo.(Q)
8 During the night I had a vision, and there before me was a man mounted on a red(R) horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, brown and white horses.(S)
9 I asked, “What are these, my lord?”
The angel(T) who was talking with me answered, “I will show you what they are.”(U)
10 Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones the Lord has sent to go throughout the earth.”(V)
11 And they reported to the angel of the Lord(W) who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have gone throughout the earth and found the whole world at rest and in peace.”(X)
12 Then the angel of the Lord said, “Lord Almighty, how long(Y) will you withhold mercy(Z) from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah,(AA) which you have been angry with these seventy(AB) years?” 13 So the Lord spoke(AC) kind and comforting words(AD) to the angel who talked with me.(AE)
14 Then the angel who was speaking to me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I am very jealous(AF) for Jerusalem and Zion, 15 and I am very angry with the nations that feel secure.(AG) I was only a little angry,(AH) but they went too far with the punishment.’(AI)
16 “Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I will return(AJ) to Jerusalem with mercy, and there my house will be rebuilt. And the measuring line(AK) will be stretched out over Jerusalem,’ declares the Lord Almighty.(AL)
17 “Proclaim further: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘My towns will again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again comfort(AM) Zion and choose(AN) Jerusalem.’”(AO)
Four Horns and Four Craftsmen
18 Then I looked up, and there before me were four horns. 19 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these?”
He answered me, “These are the horns(AP) that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.”
20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. 21 I asked, “What are these coming to do?”
He answered, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise their head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations who lifted up their horns(AQ) against the land of Judah to scatter its people.”[a](AR)
