Ang Pagliligtas na Gagawin sa Jerusalem
12 Ito ang mensahe ni Yahweh para sa Israel, ang Diyos na gumawa ng langit at lupa, at nagbigay-buhay sa tao: 2 “Ang Jerusalem ay gagawin kong parang isang mangkok na puno ng alak upang ang sinumang maghangad lumusob dito ay maging parang lasing na susuray-suray. Ang pagkubkob sa Jerusalem ay pagkubkob na rin sa buong Juda. 3 Sa araw na iyon, ang mga bansa ay magkakaisa laban sa Jerusalem ngunit gagawin ko itong tulad sa isang malaking bato na mahirap galawin. Sinumang gumalaw nito ay naghahanap ng sakit ng katawan. 4 Tatakutin ko ang kanilang mga kabayo at magugulo ang mga kawal na sakay nito. Babantayan ko ang Juda at bubulagin ang mga kabayo ng kaaway. 5 Dahil dito, sasabihin ng mga taga-Juda na ang lakas ng Jerusalem ay buhat kay Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat, ang kanilang Diyos.
6 “Sa araw na iyon, ang Juda ay gagawin kong parang apoy na tutupok sa kakahuyan at sulo na susunog sa ginapas na palay. Lilipulin niya ang mga karatig-bansa at ang Jerusalem naman ay muling titirhan ng mga tao.
7 “Ang unang pagtatagumpayin ko ay ang mga sambahayan ng Juda upang ang karangalan ng angkan ni David at ng mga taga-Jerusalem ay hindi humigit sa ibang bayan ng Juda. 8 Sa araw na iyon, palalakasin ko ang mga taga-Jerusalem upang pati ang mga mahihina ay magiging sinlakas ni David. Ang sambahayan ni David ay magiging makapangyarihang tulad ng Diyos, tulad ng anghel ni Yahweh na nanguna sa kanila. 9 At sa araw na iyon, mawawasak ang alinmang bansang mangangahas sumakop sa Jerusalem.
10 “Ang(A) (B) lahi ni David at ang mga taga-Jerusalem ay gagawin kong mahabagin at mapanalanginin. Sa gayon, kapag pinagmasdan nila ang kanilang sinaksak ng sibat ay tatangisan nila itong parang kaisa-isang anak o anak na panganay. 11 Sa araw na iyon, ang iyakan sa Jerusalem ay matutulad sa nangyari noon sa Hadad-rimon sa kapatagan ng Megido. 12 Tatangis ang buong lupain, ang bawat sambahayan, ang lahi ni David, pati ang kababaihan doon, ang lahi ni Natan, pati ang sambahayan doon, 13 ang lahi ni Levi, pati ang kababaihan doon, ang lahi ni Simei, pati ang kababaihan doon, 14 at ang iba pang lahi, pati ang kanilang kababaihan.”
Zechariah 12
English Standard Version
The Lord Will Give Salvation
12 (A)The oracle of the word of the Lord concerning Israel: Thus declares the Lord, (B)who stretched out the heavens and (C)founded the earth and (D)formed the spirit of man within him: 2 “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem (E)a cup of staggering to (F)all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem (G)will also be against Judah. 3 (H)On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. (I)All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And (J)all the nations of the earth will gather against it. 4 (K)On that day, declares the Lord, (L)I will strike every horse (M)with panic, and its rider (N)with madness. But for the sake of the house of Judah I will keep my eyes open, when I strike every horse of the peoples (O)with blindness. 5 Then the clans of Judah shall say to themselves, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem have strength through the Lord of hosts, their God.’
6 (P)“On that day I will make the clans of Judah (Q)like a blazing pot in the midst of wood, like a flaming torch among sheaves. And (R)they shall devour to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while (S)Jerusalem shall again be inhabited in its place, in Jerusalem.
7 “And the Lord will give salvation to the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not surpass that of Judah. 8 (T)On that day (U)the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that (V)the feeblest among them on that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, (W)like the angel of the Lord, going before them. 9 (X)And on that day (Y)I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Him Whom They Have Pierced
10 “And (Z)I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and (AA)pleas for mercy, so that, (AB)when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, (AC)they shall mourn for him, (AD)as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 11 (AE)On that day (AF)the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great (AG)as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land shall mourn, (AH)each family[a] by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of (AI)Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; 13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of (AJ)the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves; 14 and all the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
