Zacarias 9
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Parurusahan ng Dios ang mga Bansang Kalaban ng Israel
9 Ito ang mensahe ng Panginoon:
Sinabi ng Panginoon na parurusahan niya ang mga lungsod ng Hadrac at Damascus, dahil ang lahat ay dapat sa kanya, lalo na ang mga lahi ng Israel.[a] 2 Parurusahan din ng Panginoon ang Hamat na malapit sa mga lungsod ng Hadrac at Damascus, pati na ang lungsod ng Tyre at Sidon, kahit pa napakahusay ng mga mamamayan nito. 3 Ang mga taga-Tyre ay nagpatayo ng matitibay na pader at nag-ipon ng maraming pilak at ginto na para bang nagtatambak lang ng lupa. 4 Ngunit kukunin ng Panginoon ang kanilang mga ari-arian at itatapon niya sa dagat ang kanilang mga kayamanan. At ang kanilang lungsod ay tutupukin ng apoy.
5 Makikita ito ng mga taga-Ashkelon at matatakot sila. Mamimilipit sa sakit ang mga taga-Gaza at ganoon din ang mga taga-Ekron dahil mawawala ang kanilang inaasahan. Mamamatay ang hari ng Gaza, at ang Ashkelon ay hindi na matitirhan. 6 Ang Ashdod ay titirhan ng ibaʼt ibang lahi. Lilipulin ng Panginoon ang ipinagmamalaki ng mga Filisteo. 7 Hindi na sila kakain ng karneng may dugo[b] o ng mga pagkaing ipinagbabawal na kainin. Ang matitira sa kanila ay ibibilang ng ating Dios na kanyang mga mamamayan na parang isang angkan mula sa Juda. Ang mga taga-Ekron ay magiging kabilang sa mga mamamayan ng Panginoon katulad ng mga Jebuseo.[c] 8 Iingatan ng Panginoon ang kanyang templo[d] laban sa mga sumasalakay. Wala nang mang-aapi sa mga mamamayan niya dahil binabantayan na niya sila.
Ang Darating na Hari ng Jerusalem
9 Sinabi ng Panginoon, “Sumigaw kayo sa kagalakan, kayong mga mamamayan ng Zion, ang lungsod ng Jerusalem, dahil ang inyong hari ay darating na. Matuwid siya at mapagtagumpay. Mapagpakumbaba siya, at darating na nakasakay sa bisirong asno. 10 Ipaaalis niya ang mga karwahe at mga kabayong pandigma sa Israel at sa Juda.[e] Babaliin ang mga panang ginagamit sa pandigma. Ang haring darating ay magdadala ng kapayapaan sa mga bansa. Maghahari siya mula sa isang dagat hanggang sa isa pang dagat,[f] at mula sa Ilog ng Eufrates hanggang sa dulo ng mundo.”[g]
Palalayain ng Dios ang Nabihag na mga Taga-Israel
11 Sinabi pa ng Panginoon, “Tungkol naman sa inyo na mga taga-Israel, palalayain ko ang mga nabihag sa inyo. Sila ay parang mga taong inihulog sa balon na walang tubig. Palalayain ko sila dahil sa kasunduan ko sa inyo na pinagtibay sa pamamagitan ng dugo. 12 Kayong mga binihag na umaasang mapalaya, bumalik na kayo sa inyong mga lugar kung saan ligtas kayo. Sinasabi ko ngayon sa inyo na ibabalik ko nang doble ang mga nawala sa inyo. 13 Gagamitin kong parang pana ang Juda at parang palaso ang Israel. Gagawin kong parang espada ng kawal ang mga taga-Zion, at lilipulin nila ang mga taga-Grecia.”
Tutulungan ng Dios ang mga Taga-Israel
14 Magpapakita ang Panginoon sa ibabaw ng kanyang mga mamamayan. Kikislap ang kanyang pana na parang kidlat. Patutunugin ng Panginoong Dios ang trumpeta; at darating siyang kasama ng bagyong mula sa timog. 15 Iingatan ng Panginoong Makapangyarihan ang kanyang mga mamamayan. Tatapak-tapakan lang nila ang mga batong ibinabato sa kanila ng mga kaaway nila. Magkakainan at mag-iinuman sila upang ipagdiwang ang kanilang tagumpay. Magsisigawan sila na parang mga lasing. Mabubusog sila ng inumin katulad ng mangkok na punong-puno ng dugong iwiniwisik sa mga sulok ng altar. 16-17 Sa araw na iyon, ililigtas sila ng Panginoon na kanilang Dios bilang kanyang mga tupa. Napakaganda nilang tingnan sa kanilang lupain. Ang katulad nilaʼy mamahaling batong kumikislap sa korona. Magiging sagana sila sa mga butil at ubas na magpapalakas sa kanilang mga kabataan.

New King James Version
Israel Defended Against Enemies
9 The [a]burden of the word of the Lord
Against the land of Hadrach,
And (A)Damascus its resting place
(For (B)the eyes of men
And all the tribes of Israel
Are on the Lord);
2 Also against (C)Hamath, which borders on it,
And against (D)Tyre and (E)Sidon, though they are very (F)wise.
3 For Tyre built herself a tower,
Heaped up silver like the dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
4 Behold, (G)the Lord will cast her out;
He will destroy (H)her power in the sea,
And she will be devoured by fire.
5 Ashkelon shall see it and fear;
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And (I)Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.
The king shall perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 “A[b] mixed race shall settle (J)in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the (K)Philistines.
7 I will take away the blood from his mouth,
And the abominations from between his teeth.
But he who remains, even he shall be for our God,
And shall be like a leader in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
8 (L)I will camp around My house
Because of the army,
Because of him who passes by and him who returns.
No more shall an oppressor pass through them,
For now I have seen with My eyes.
The Coming King(M)
9 “Rejoice (N)greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, (O)your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I (P)will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
The (Q)battle bow shall be cut off.
He shall speak peace to the nations;
His dominion shall be (R)‘from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.’
God Will Save His People
11 “As for you also,
Because of the blood of your covenant,
I will set your (S)prisoners free from the waterless pit.
12 Return to the stronghold,
(T)You prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare
That I will restore (U)double to you.
13 For I have bent Judah, My bow,
Fitted the bow with Ephraim,
And raised up your sons, O Zion,
Against your sons, O Greece,
And made you like the sword of a mighty man.”
14 Then the Lord will be seen over them,
And (V)His arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And go (W)with whirlwinds from the south.
15 The Lord of hosts will (X)defend them;
They shall devour and subdue with slingstones.
They shall drink and roar as if with wine;
They shall be filled with blood like [c]basins,
Like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will (Y)save them in that day,
As the flock of His people.
For (Z)they shall be like the [d]jewels of a crown,
(AA)Lifted like a banner over His land—
17 For (AB)how great is [e]its goodness
And how great its (AC)beauty!
(AD)Grain shall make the young men thrive,
And new wine the young women.

English Standard Version
Judgment on Israel's Enemies
9 The oracle of the word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach
and (A)Damascus is its resting place.
For the Lord has an eye on mankind
and on all the tribes of Israel,[a]
2 (B)and on Hamath also, which borders on it,
(C)Tyre and (D)Sidon, though (E)they are very wise.
3 Tyre has built herself (F)a rampart
and (G)heaped up silver like dust,
and fine gold like the mud of the streets.
4 But behold, the Lord will strip her of her possessions
and strike down (H)her power on the sea,
and (I)she shall be devoured by fire.
5 (J)Ashkelon shall see it, and be afraid;
Gaza too, and shall writhe in anguish;
Ekron also, because its hopes are confounded.
The king shall perish from Gaza;
Ashkelon shall be uninhabited;
6 (K)a mixed people[b] shall dwell in Ashdod,
and I will cut off the pride of Philistia.
7 I will take away (L)its blood from its mouth,
and (M)its abominations from between its teeth;
(N)it too shall be a remnant for our God;
it shall be like (O)a clan in Judah,
and Ekron shall be like the Jebusites.
8 Then (P)I will encamp at my house as a guard,
(Q)so that none shall march to and fro;
(R)no oppressor shall again march over them,
(S)for now I see with my own eyes.
The Coming King of Zion
9 (T)Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
(U)Behold, (V)your king is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is he,
(W)humble and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 (X)I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and (Y)the war horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow shall be cut off,
and (Z)he shall speak peace to the nations;
(AA)his rule shall be from sea to sea,
and from (AB)the River[c] to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you also, because of (AC)the blood of my covenant with you,
(AD)I will set your prisoners free from (AE)the waterless pit.
12 Return to your stronghold, O (AF)prisoners of hope;
today I declare that (AG)I will restore to you double.
13 For (AH)I have bent Judah as my bow;
I have made Ephraim its arrow.
I will stir up your sons, O Zion,
against your sons, (AI)O Greece,
and wield you like a warrior's sword.
The Lord Will Save His People
14 Then the Lord will appear over them,
and (AJ)his arrow will go forth like lightning;
(AK)the Lord God will sound the trumpet
and will march forth in (AL)the whirlwinds (AM)of the south.
15 The Lord of hosts (AN)will protect them,
and (AO)they shall devour, (AP)and tread down the sling stones,
and (AQ)they shall drink and roar as if drunk with wine,
and be full like a bowl,
drenched (AR)like the corners of the altar.
16 On that day the Lord their God will save them,
as (AS)the flock of his people;
for (AT)like the jewels of a crown
they shall shine on his land.
17 (AU)For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty!
(AV)Grain shall make the young men flourish,
and new wine the young women.

New International Version
Judgment on Israel’s Enemies
9 A prophecy:(A)
The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak
and will come to rest on Damascus(B)—
for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel
are on the Lord—[a]
2 and on Hamath(C) too, which borders on it,
and on Tyre(D) and Sidon,(E) though they are very skillful.
3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
she has heaped up silver like dust,
and gold like the dirt of the streets.(F)
4 But the Lord will take away her possessions
and destroy(G) her power on the sea,
and she will be consumed by fire.(H)
5 Ashkelon(I) will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
and I will put an end(J) to the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God(K)
and become a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.(L)
8 But I will encamp(M) at my temple
to guard it against marauding forces.(N)
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
for now I am keeping watch.(O)
The Coming of Zion’s King
9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!(P)
Shout,(Q) Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,(R)
righteous and victorious,(S)
lowly and riding on a donkey,(T)
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.(U)
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow will be broken.(V)
He will proclaim peace(W) to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River[b] to the ends of the earth.(X)
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant(Y) with you,
I will free your prisoners(Z) from the waterless pit.(AA)
12 Return to your fortress,(AB) you prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice(AC) as much to you.
13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow(AD)
and fill it with Ephraim.(AE)
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,(AF)
and make you like a warrior’s sword.(AG)
The Lord Will Appear
14 Then the Lord will appear over them;(AH)
his arrow will flash like lightning.(AI)
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;(AJ)
he will march in the storms(AK) of the south,
15 and the Lord Almighty will shield(AL) them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.(AM)
They will drink and roar as with wine;(AN)
they will be full like a bowl(AO)
used for sprinkling[c] the corners(AP) of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day(AQ)
as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.(AR)
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.
