Zechariah 12
Darby Translation
12 The burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel. [Thus] saith Jehovah, who stretcheth out the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him:
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of bewilderment unto all the peoples round about, and also against Judah shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone unto all peoples: all that burden themselves with it shall certainly be wounded, and all the nations of the earth shall be assembled together against it.
4 In that day, saith Jehovah, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness; but I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness.
5 And the leaders of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength through Jehovah of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the leaders of Judah like a hearth of fire among wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall dwell again in her own place, in Jerusalem.
7 And Jehovah shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified over Judah.
8 In that day will Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that stumbleth among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David as God, as the Angel of Jehovah before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications; and they shall look on me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for an only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
Zechariah 12
New King James Version
The Coming Deliverance of Judah
12 The [a]burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. Thus says the Lord, (A)who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and (B)forms the spirit of man within him: 2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem (C)a cup of [b]drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 (D)And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem (E)a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. 4 In that day,” says the Lord, (F)“I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the Lord of hosts, their God.’ 6 In that day I will make the governors of Judah (G)like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem.
7 “The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah. 8 In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them. 9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to (H)destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Mourning for the Pierced One
10 (I)“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will (J)look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him (K)as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. 11 In that day there shall be a great (L)mourning in Jerusalem, (M)like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of [c]Megiddo. 12 (N)And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of (O)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 Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves; 14 all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.

Gloria de la Jerusalén futura (12—14)
Jerusalén liberada
12 Profecía:
Esta es la palabra —oráculo del Señor— que dirige a Israel el Señor que desplegó los cielos, cimentó la tierra y creó el espíritu humano:
2 — Voy a convertir a Jerusalén en copa embriagadora para todas las naciones de su entorno; y lo mismo sucederá con todo Judá cuando Jerusalén sea sitiada.
3 Aquel día convertiré a Jerusalén en una piedra que ninguna nación podrá levantar; cualquiera que intente levantarla quedará destrozado. Todas las naciones de la tierra se aliarán contra ella.
4 Aquel día —oráculo del Señor— haré que se desboquen los caballos y se vuelvan locos sus jinetes. Mantendré abiertos los ojos sobre los habitantes de Judá, pero a los caballos de las naciones los dejaré ciegos 5 Pensarán entonces los clanes de Judá: “En el Señor, Dios del universo, está la fuerza de los habitantes de Jerusalén”.
6 Aquel día convertiré a los clanes de Judá en montón ardiente de leña, en tea encendida entre gavillas de mies; a derecha e izquierda devorarán a todas las naciones de su entorno, mientras Jerusalén volverá a ser habitada donde siempre. 7 Pero el Señor salvará en primer lugar a las gentes de Judá para que ni la descendencia de David ni los moradores de Jerusalén se envalentonen a costa de Judá.
8 Aquel día protegerá el Señor a los habitantes de Jerusalén: el más débil entre ellos se sentirá fuerte como David, y la dinastía de David será para ellos como Dios, como un ángel del Señor al frente de ellos.
9 Aquel día exterminaré a todas las naciones que intenten atacar a Jerusalén; 10 derramaré, en cambio, sobre la dinastía de David y los habitantes de Jerusalén un espíritu de gracia y de oración. Dirigirán sus miradas hacia mí, a quien traspasaron, harán duelo como se hace por un hijo único y llorarán amargamente como se llora a un primogénito.
11 Aquel día el duelo en Jerusalén será tan grande como el de Hadad-Rimón en la llanura de Meguido. 12 Todo el país hará duelo, familia por familia: los descendientes de David y de Natán, y también sus mujeres; 13 los descendientes de Leví y de Simeí, y también sus mujeres; 14 y todos los demás clanes, cada uno por su parte, con sus respectivas mujeres.
