Zacarias 8
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Nangako ang Dios na Pagpapalain Niya ang Jerusalem
8 1-2 Sinabing muli ng Panginoong Makapangyarihan kay Zacarias, “Labis ang aking pagmamalasakit sa Zion. At dahil sa labis kong pagmamalasakit, matindi ang galit ko sa mga kaaway nito. 3 Babalik ako sa Zion, ang lungsod ng Jerusalem, at maninirahan doon. Ang Jerusalem ay tatawaging Tapat na Lungsod at ang aking bundok[a] ay tatawaging Banal na Bundok. 4 Mauupong muli sa mga plasa ng Jerusalem ang matatandang nakatungkod dahil sa katandaan. 5 At mapupuno ang mga plasa ng mga batang naglalaro.”
6 Sinabi pa ng Makapangyarihang Panginoon, “Maaaring imposible itong mangyari sa isip ng mga natitira kong mga mamamayan, pero hindi ito imposible sa akin. 7 Ililigtas ko ang aking mga mamamayang binihag at dinala sa mga lupain sa silangan at sa kanluran. 8 Dadalhin ko sila pabalik sa Jerusalem at patitirahin doon. At minsan pang magiging mga mamamayan ko sila at ako ang kanilang magiging tapat at makatarungang Dios.”
9 Sinabi pa ng Makapangyarihang Panginoon, “Ang mga mensaheng ito ay sinabi rin ng mga propeta noong itinayong muli ang pundasyon ng aking templo. At ngayong napakinggan ninyo itong muli, magpakatatag kayo upang matapos ninyo ang pagpapatayo ng templo. 10 Noong hindi pa sinisimulan ang muling pagpapatayo ng templo, walang pambayad sa mga taong nagtatrabaho at sa mga hayop na ginagamit sa pagtatrabaho, at mapanganib kahit saan dahil pinag-aaway-away ko ang mga tao. 11 Ngunit ngayon, ako, ang Panginoong Makapangyarihan, ay nagsasabi na hindi ko na gagawin iyan sa inyong mga natitira. 12 Mapayapa kayong magtatanim.[b] Magbubunga ang inyong mga tanim na ubas, aani ang inyong mga bukirin, at magkakaroon na ng hamog. Ibibigay ko ang lahat ng ito sa inyo na mga natira. 13 Mga taga-Juda at taga-Israel, isinusumpa kayo ng ibang mga bansa. Ngunit ililigtas ko kayo at magiging pagpapala kayo sa kanila. Kaya huwag kayong matakot, sa halip magpakatatag kayo.”
14 Sinabi pa ng Panginoong Makapangyarihan, “Noong ginalit ako ng inyong mga ninuno, napagpasyahan kong parusahan kayo at huwag kahabagan. 15 Ngunit napagpasyahan ko ngayon na muling maging mabuti sa Jerusalem at Juda. Kaya huwag kayong matakot. 16 Ito ang dapat ninyong gawin: Magsabi kayo ng totoo sa isaʼt isa. Humatol kayo nang tama sa inyong mga hukuman para sa ikabubuti ng lahat. 17 Huwag kayong magbalak ng masama laban sa inyong kapwa, at huwag kayong susumpa ng kasinungalingan dahil ang lahat ng iyan ay aking kinapopootan.”
18-19 Muling sinabi ng Panginoong Makapangyarihan kay Zacarias, “Ang pag-aayuno sa ikaapat, ikalima, ikapito at ikasampung buwan ay magiging masayang araw ng pagdiriwang para sa mga taga-Juda. Kaya pahalagahan ninyo ang katotohanan at kapayapaan.[c] 20 Maraming tao ang darating sa Jerusalem mula sa ibaʼt ibang lungsod. 21 Ang mga mamamayan ng isang lungsod ay pupunta sa isang lungsod at sasabihin nila, ‘Pupunta kami para dumulog at manalangin sa Panginoong Makapangyarihan. Halikayo, sumama kayo sa amin.’
22 “Maraming taong mula sa makapangyarihang mga bansa ang pupunta sa Jerusalem upang dumulog at manalangin sa akin. 23 At sa araw na iyon, sampung dayuhan na galing sa ibang mga bansa na may ibaʼt ibang wika ang lalapit sa isang Judio at sasabihin, ‘Gusto naming sumama sa inyo, dahil narinig namin na ang Dios ay kasama ninyo.’ ”

The Lord Promises to Bless Jerusalem
8 The word of the Lord Almighty came to me.
2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “I am very jealous(A) for Zion; I am burning with jealousy for her.”
3 This is what the Lord says: “I will return(B) to Zion(C) and dwell in Jerusalem.(D) Then Jerusalem will be called the Faithful City,(E) and the mountain(F) of the Lord Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.(G)”
4 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem,(H) each of them with cane in hand because of their age. 5 The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there.(I)”
6 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “It may seem marvelous to the remnant of this people at that time,(J) but will it seem marvelous to me?(K)” declares the Lord Almighty.
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will save my people from the countries of the east and the west.(L) 8 I will bring them back(M) to live(N) in Jerusalem; they will be my people,(O) and I will be faithful and righteous to them as their God.(P)”
9 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Now hear these words, ‘Let your hands be strong(Q) so that the temple may be built.’ This is also what the prophets(R) said who were present when the foundation(S) was laid for the house of the Lord Almighty. 10 Before that time there were no wages(T) for people or hire for animals. No one could go about their business safely(U) because of their enemies, since I had turned everyone against their neighbor. 11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as I did in the past,”(V) declares the Lord Almighty.
12 “The seed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit,(W) the ground will produce its crops,(X) and the heavens will drop their dew.(Y) I will give all these things as an inheritance(Z) to the remnant of this people.(AA) 13 Just as you, Judah and Israel, have been a curse[a](AB) among the nations, so I will save(AC) you, and you will be a blessing.[b](AD) Do not be afraid,(AE) but let your hands be strong.(AF)”
14 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Just as I had determined to bring disaster(AG) on you and showed no pity when your ancestors angered me,” says the Lord Almighty, 15 “so now I have determined to do good(AH) again to Jerusalem and Judah.(AI) Do not be afraid. 16 These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth(AJ) to each other, and render true and sound judgment(AK) in your courts;(AL) 17 do not plot evil(AM) against each other, and do not love to swear falsely.(AN) I hate all this,” declares the Lord.
18 The word of the Lord Almighty came to me.
19 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “The fasts of the fourth,(AO) fifth,(AP) seventh(AQ) and tenth(AR) months will become joyful(AS) and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth(AT) and peace.”
20 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, 21 and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, ‘Let us go at once to entreat(AU) the Lord and seek(AV) the Lord Almighty. I myself am going.’ 22 And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord Almighty and to entreat him.”(AW)
23 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’”(AX)
