Zechariah 1
New American Standard Bible
A Call to Repentance
1 In the eighth month of the second year of (A)Darius, the word of the Lord came to (B)Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of (C)Iddo saying, 2 “The Lord was very (D)angry with your fathers. 3 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “(E)Return to Me,” declares the Lord of armies, “[a]that I may return to you,” says the Lord of armies. 4 “Do not be (F)like your fathers, to whom the (G)former prophets proclaimed, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “(H)Return now from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.”’ But they did (I)not listen or pay attention to Me,” declares the Lord. 5 “Your (J)fathers, where are they? And the (K)prophets, do they live forever? 6 But did My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, not [b](L)overtake your fathers? Then they repented and said, ‘(M)Just as the Lord of armies planned to do to us in accordance with our ways and our deeds, so He has dealt with us.’”’”
Patrol of the Earth
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, that is, the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, [c]as follows: 8 I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a (N)red horse, and he was standing among the (O)myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, [d]sorrel, and (P)white horses behind him. 9 Then I said, “What are these, my (Q)lord?” And the (R)angel who was speaking with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.” 10 And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees responded and said, “These are the ones whom the Lord has sent to [e](S)patrol the earth.” 11 So they responded to the angel of the Lord who was (T)standing among the myrtle trees and said, “We have [f]patrolled the earth, and behold, (U)all the earth is [g]still and quiet.”
12 Then the angel of the Lord said, “Lord of armies, (V)how long will You (W)take no pity on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been (X)indignant for these (Y)seventy years?” 13 And the Lord responded to the (Z)angel who was speaking with me with [h]gracious words, (AA)comforting words. 14 So the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “(AB)Proclaim, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “I am (AC)exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion. 15 But I am very (AD)angry with the nations who are (AE)carefree; for while I was only a little angry, they [i](AF)furthered the disaster.” 16 Therefore the Lord says this: “I will (AG)return to Jerusalem with compassion; My (AH)house will be built in it,” declares the Lord of armies, “and a measuring (AI)line will be stretched over Jerusalem.”’ 17 Again, proclaim, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “My (AJ)cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again (AK)comfort Zion and again (AL)choose Jerusalem.”’”
18 [j]Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, there were four horns. 19 So I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the (AM)horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” 20 Then the Lord showed me four (AN)craftsmen. 21 And I said, “What are these coming to do?” And he said, “These are the (AO)horns that have scattered Judah so that no one lifts up his head; but these craftsmen have come to frighten them, to (AP)throw down the horns of the nations who have lifted up their horns against the land of Judah in order to scatter it.”

Zacarias 1
Nova Versão Transformadora
Chamado para voltar ao Senhor
1 Em novembro[a] do segundo ano do reinado de Dario, o Senhor deu esta mensagem ao profeta Zacarias, filho de Berequias, neto de Ido:
2 “Eu, o Senhor, fiquei extremamente irado com seus antepassados. 3 Portanto, diga ao povo: ‘Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: Voltem-se para mim, e eu me voltarei para vocês, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos’. 4 Não sejam como seus antepassados, que não quiseram ouvir nem deram atenção quando os antigos profetas lhes disseram: ‘Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: Deixem seus caminhos maus e abandonem suas práticas perversas’.
5 “Onde estão agora seus antepassados? Morreram há muito tempo, assim como os profetas. 6 Mas tudo que eu disse e ordenei por meio de meus servos, os profetas, aconteceu a seus antepassados. Por isso, eles se arrependeram e disseram: ‘Recebemos do Senhor dos Exércitos o que merecíamos. Ele fez o que havia prometido’”.
Um homem entre as murtas
7 Três meses depois, no dia 15 de fevereiro,[b] o Senhor deu outra mensagem ao profeta Zacarias, filho de Berequias, neto de Ido.
8 Numa visão durante a noite, vi um homem montado num cavalo vermelho, parado entre algumas murtas num desfiladeiro. Atrás dele, havia cavaleiros montados em cavalos vermelhos, marrons e brancos. 9 Perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: “Meu senhor, o que significam estes cavalos?”.
“Eu lhe mostrarei”, o anjo respondeu.
10 O cavaleiro que estava entre as murtas explicou: “Eles são aqueles que o Senhor enviou para percorrer a terra”.
11 Então os outros cavaleiros disseram ao anjo do Senhor, que estava entre as murtas: “Percorremos toda a terra, e ela está em paz”.
12 Quando o anjo do Senhor ouviu isso, disse: “Ó Senhor dos Exércitos, durante estes setenta anos tens estado irado com Jerusalém e as cidades de Judá. Quanto tempo levará para voltares a ter compaixão delas?”. 13 E, ao anjo que falava comigo, o Senhor respondeu com palavras boas e consoladoras.
14 Então o anjo me disse: “Proclame esta mensagem: ‘Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: Tenho grande zelo por Jerusalém e pelo monte Sião, 15 mas estou extremamente irado com as outras nações que agora vivem tranquilas. Eu estava apenas um pouco irado com meu povo, mas as nações fizeram que ele sofresse muito.
16 “‘Portanto, assim diz o Senhor: Voltei a mostrar compaixão por Jerusalém. Meu templo será reconstruído, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, e serão tiradas medidas para a reconstrução de Jerusalém’.[c]
17 “Diga também: ‘Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: As cidades de Israel voltarão a transbordar de prosperidade, e o Senhor voltará a consolar Sião e escolherá Jerusalém para si’”.
Quatro chifres e quatro ferreiros
18 [d]Então levantei os olhos e vi quatro chifres de animais. 19 “O que significam estes chifres?”, perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo.
Ele respondeu: “Estes chifres representam as nações que dispersaram Judá, Israel e Jerusalém”.
20 Então o Senhor me mostrou quatro ferreiros. 21 “O que estes homens vieram fazer?”, perguntei.
O anjo respondeu: “Os quatro chifres são as nações que dispersaram e humilharam Judá. Agora, os ferreiros vieram para aterrorizar, derrubar e destruir essas nações”.

Zechariah 1
New International Version
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)
