'Zacarias 7 ' not found for the version: Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version.

Ang di pagsunod ang dahilan ng pagkabihag.

At nangyari, (A)nang ikaapat na taon ng haring si Dario, na ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Zacarias nang ikaapat na araw ng ikasiyam na buwan, sa makatuwid baga'y sa (B)Chislev.

Sinugo nga ng mga taga Beth-el si Sareser at si Regem-melech, at ang kanilang mga lalake, upang hilingin ang lingap ng Panginoon,

At upang magsalita sa (C)mga saserdote ng bahay ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, at sa (D)mga propeta, na sabihin, Iiyak baga ako (E)sa ikalimang buwan, na ako'y hihiwalay, gaya ng aking ginawa nitong maraming taon?

Nang magkagayo'y dumating ang salita ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa akin, na nagsasabi,

Salitain mo sa lahat ng tao ng lupain at sa mga saserdote, na iyong sabihin, Nang kayo'y magayuno, (F)at tumangis ng ikalima at (G)ikapitong buwan, (H)nito ngang pitong pung taon, kayo baga'y nagayunong lubos sa akin, para sa akin?

At pagka kayo'y nagsisikain, at pagka kayo'y nagsisiinom, di baga kayo'y nagsisikain sa ganang inyong sarili at nagsisiinom, sa ganang inyong sarili?

Di baga ninyo dapat dinggin ang mga salita na isinigaw ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng mga unang propeta, nang ang Jerusalem ay tinatahanan at nasa kaginhawahan, at ang mga bayan niyaon na nangasa palibot niya, at (I)ang Timugan, at ang mababang lupain ay tinatahanan?

At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Zacarias na nagsasabi,

Ganito ang sinalita ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na nagsasabi, (J)Mangaglapat kayo ng tunay na kahatulan, at magpakita ng kaawaan at ng kahabagan ang bawa't isa sa kaniyang kapatid,

10 At huwag ninyong pighatiin ang babaing bao, (K)ni ang ulila man, ang taga ibang lupa, ni ang dukha man; at sinoman sa inyo ay huwag magisip ng kasamaan sa inyong puso laban sa kaniyang kapatid.

11 Nguni't kanilang tinanggihang dinggin, at kanilang iniurong ang balikat, at (L)nagtakip ng pakinig, upang huwag nilang marinig.

12 Oo, kanilang ginawa na parang batong diamante ang kanilang puso upang huwag magsidinig ng kautusan, at ng mga salita na ipinasugo ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang Espiritu, ng mga unang propeta: kaya't dumating ang malaking poot na mula sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo.

13 At nangyari, na kung paanong siya'y sumigaw, at hindi nila dininig, ay gayon sila sisigaw, at hindi ko didinggin, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo;

14 Kundi aking pangangalatin sila sa pamamagitan ng ipoipo sa gitna ng lahat na bansa na hindi nila nakilala. Ganito nasira ang lupain pagkatapos nila, na anopa't (M)walang tao na nagdadaan o nagbabalik: sapagka't kanilang inihandusay na sira ang kaayaayang lupain.

Sur le jeûne

Le sens du jeûne

La quatrième année du règne de Darius, le quatrième jour du neuvième mois, le mois de Kislev[a], l’Eternel adressa la parole à Zacharie. Béthel-Sarétser, un haut fonctionnaire impérial, et ses gens avaient envoyé une délégation pour implorer l’Eternel[b] et pour demander aux prêtres du Temple du Seigneur des armées célestes, et aux prophètes : Dois-je continuer à pleurer et à jeûner au cinquième mois comme je le fais depuis tant d’années[c] ?

Le Seigneur des armées célestes m’adressa la parole en ces termes :

Parle à toute la population du pays et aux prêtres et demande-leur : Quand, pendant soixante-dix années, vous avez jeûné et pris le deuil au cinquième et au septième mois[d], est-ce pour moi que vous avez observé ce jeûne ? Et quand vous mangez et buvez, n’est-ce pas pour votre propre satisfaction que vous le faites ? N’est-ce pas là ce que l’Eternel a déjà fait proclamer par les prophètes d’autrefois, au temps où Jérusalem était bien établie et jouissait de la tranquillité, entourée de ses villes, et que le Néguev et le pays plat étaient peuplés ?

Les causes de l’exil

L’Eternel adressa la parole à Zacharie en ces termes :

Voici ce que déclare le Seigneur des armées célestes : Rendez des jugements conformes à la vérité, agissez les uns envers les autres avec amour et compassion. 10 N’exploitez pas la veuve et l’orphelin, ni l’immigré et les démunis, et ne tramez aucun mal les uns contre les autres[e].

11 Mais ils ont refusé d’écouter : ils se sont rebellés et se sont bouché les oreilles pour ne pas entendre. 12 Ils ont rendu leur cœur aussi dur que le diamant pour ne pas entendre la Loi et les paroles que le Seigneur des armées célestes leur avait adressées par l’intermédiaire des prophètes d’autrefois qui parlaient sous l’action de l’Esprit. Alors le Seigneur des armées célestes s’est mis dans une grande colère, 13 et il a dit : Puisque je les ai appelés, et qu’ils ne m’ont pas écouté, à leur tour ils appelleront, et je ne les écouterai pas.

14 Je les ai dispersés parmi toutes sortes de peuples qu’ils ne connaissaient pas, et le pays est resté dévasté derrière eux ; personne n’y passait plus, personne n’y revenait. D’un pays magnifique, ils ont fait une terre désolée.

Justice and Mercy, Not Fasting

In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah(A) on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev.(B) The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melek, together with their men, to entreat(C) the Lord(D) by asking the priests of the house of the Lord Almighty and the prophets, “Should I mourn(E) and fast in the fifth(F) month, as I have done for so many years?”

Then the word of the Lord Almighty came to me: “Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted(G) and mourned in the fifth and seventh(H) months for the past seventy years,(I) was it really for me that you fasted? And when you were eating and drinking, were you not just feasting for yourselves?(J) Are these not the words the Lord proclaimed through the earlier prophets(K) when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were at rest(L) and prosperous, and the Negev and the western foothills(M) were settled?’”(N)

And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah: “This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice;(O) show mercy and compassion to one another.(P) 10 Do not oppress the widow(Q) or the fatherless, the foreigner(R) or the poor.(S) Do not plot evil against each other.’(T)

11 “But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly(U) they turned their backs(V) and covered their ears.(W) 12 They made their hearts as hard as flint(X) and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets.(Y) So the Lord Almighty was very angry.(Z)

13 “‘When I called, they did not listen;(AA) so when they called, I would not listen,’(AB) says the Lord Almighty.(AC) 14 ‘I scattered(AD) them with a whirlwind(AE) among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land they left behind them was so desolate that no one traveled through it.(AF) This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.(AG)’”
