Zechariah 1
New King James Version
A Call to Repentance(A)
1 In the eighth month (B)of the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came (C)to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of (D)Iddo the prophet, saying, 2 “The Lord has been very angry with your fathers. 3 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Return (E)to Me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts. 4 “Do not be like your fathers, (F)to whom the former prophets preached, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: (G)“Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.” ’ But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the Lord.
5 “Your fathers, where are they?
And the prophets, do they live forever?
6 Yet surely (H)My words and My statutes,
Which I commanded My servants the prophets,
Did they not overtake your fathers?
“So they returned and said:
(I)‘Just as the Lord of hosts determined to do to us,
According to our ways and according to our deeds,
So He has dealt with us.’ ” ’ ”
Vision of the Horses
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet: 8 I saw by night, and behold, (J)a man riding on a red horse, and it stood among the myrtle trees in the hollow; and behind him were (K)horses: red, sorrel, and white. 9 Then I said, (L)“My lord, what are these?” So the angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what they are.”
10 And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, (M)“These are the ones whom the Lord has sent to walk to and fro throughout the earth.”
11 (N)So they answered the Angel of the Lord, who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked to and fro throughout the earth, and behold, all the earth is [a]resting quietly.”
The Lord Will Comfort Zion
12 Then the Angel of the Lord answered and said, “O Lord of hosts, (O)how long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which You were angry (P)these seventy years?”
13 And the Lord answered the angel who talked to me, with (Q)good and comforting words. 14 So the angel who spoke with me said to me, [b]“Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“I am (R)zealous[c] for Jerusalem
And for Zion with great [d]zeal.
15 I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease;
For (S)I was a little angry,
And they helped—but with evil intent.”
16 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord:
(T)“I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy;
My (U)house (V)shall be built in it,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And (W)a surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’
17 “Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“My cities shall again [e]spread out through prosperity;
(X)The Lord will again comfort Zion,
And (Y)will again choose Jerusalem.” ’ ”
Vision of the Horns
18 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were four (Z)horns. 19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?”
So he answered me, (AA)“These are the [f]horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. 21 And I said, “What are these coming to do?”
So he said, “These are the (AB)horns that scattered Judah, so that no one could lift up his head; but [g]the craftsmen are coming to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations that (AC)lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

A Call to Return to the Lord
1 In the eighth month, (A)in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet (B)Zechariah, the son of (C)Berechiah, son of (D)Iddo, saying, 2 (E)“The Lord was very angry with your fathers. 3 Therefore say to them, Thus declares the Lord of hosts: (F)Return to me, says the Lord of hosts, and (G)I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. 4 (H)Do not be like your fathers, (I)to whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, (J)Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But (K)they did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. 5 Your fathers, where are they? And (L)the prophets, do they live forever? 6 (M)But my words and my statutes, which I commanded (N)my servants the prophets, did they not (O)overtake your fathers? So they repented and said, (P)‘As the Lord of hosts purposed to deal with us for (Q)our ways and (R)deeds, so has he dealt with us.’”
A Vision of a Horseman
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet (S)Zechariah, the son of (T)Berechiah, son of (U)Iddo, saying, 8 “I saw in the night, and behold, (V)a man riding on a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen, and behind him were (W)red, sorrel, and white horses. 9 Then I said, ‘What are these, my lord?’ (X)The angel who talked with me said to me, ‘I will show you what they are.’ 10 So (Y)the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, (Z)‘These are they whom the Lord has sent to (AA)patrol the earth.’ 11 And they answered (AB)the angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, and said, (AC)‘We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth (AD)remains at rest.’ 12 Then (AE)the angel of the Lord said, (AF)‘O Lord of hosts, (AG)how long will you (AH)have no mercy on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, against which you have been angry these (AI)seventy years?’ 13 And the Lord answered (AJ)gracious and comforting words to (AK)the angel who talked with me. 14 So (AL)the angel who talked with me said to me, ‘Cry out, Thus says the Lord of hosts: (AM)I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion. 15 (AN)And I am exceedingly angry with the nations that are (AO)at ease; (AP)for while I was angry but a little, (AQ)they furthered the disaster. 16 Therefore, thus says the Lord, (AR)I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy; (AS)my house shall be built in it, declares the Lord of hosts, and (AT)the measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem. 17 Cry out again, Thus says the Lord of hosts: (AU)My cities shall again overflow with prosperity, (AV)and the Lord will again comfort Zion and again (AW)choose Jerusalem.’”
A Vision of Horns and Craftsmen
18 [a] And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, (AX)four horns! 19 And I said to (AY)the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, (AZ)“These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” 20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. 21 And I said, “What are these coming to do?” He said, (BA)“These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one raised his head. And these have come (BB)to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations (BC)who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

Zacarias 1
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang Panginoon ay muling nagsalita sa bayan.
1 (A)Nang ikawalong buwan, (B)nang ikalawang taon ni Dario, dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Zacarias na anak ni Berechias, na anak ni (C)Iddo, na propeta, na nagsasabi,
2 Ang Panginoo'y totoong naghinanakit sa inyong mga magulang.
3 Kaya't sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo. (D)Manumbalik kayo sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, at ako'y manunumbalik sa inyo, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
4 (E)Huwag kayong maging gaya ng inyong mga magulang, (F)na siyang mga pinagsabihan ng mga unang propeta, na nangagsabi, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Manumbalik kayo ngayon na mula sa inyong mga masamang lakad, at sa inyong mga masamang gawain: nguni't hindi nila dininig, o pinakinggan man ako, sabi ng Panginoon.
5 Ang inyong mga magulang, saan nangandoon sila? at ang mga propeta, nangabubuhay baga sila ng magpakailan man?
6 (G)Nguni't ang aking mga salita at ang aking mga palatuntunan, na aking iniutos sa aking mga lingkod na mga propeta, hindi baga nagsiabot sa inyong mga magulang? at sila'y nanumbalik at nangagsabi, (H)Kung paano ang inisip na gawin ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa amin, (I)ayon sa aming mga lakad, at ayon sa aming mga gawa, gayon ang ginawa niya sa amin.
Ang mga kabayo na pangitain ni Zacarias.
7 Nang ikadalawang pu't apat na araw ng ikalabing isang buwan, na siyang buwan ng Sebath, nang ikalawang taon ni Dario, dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Zacarias, na anak ni Berechias, na anak ni Iddo, na propeta, na nagsasabi,
8 Aking nakita sa gabi, at, narito, ang (J)isang lalaking nakasakay sa isang mapulang kabayo, at siya'y tumayo sa mga puno ng mirto, na nasa pinakamababa; at sa likuran niya'y may mga (K)kabayong mapula, alazan, at maputi.
9 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi, Oh Panginoon ko, ano ang mga ito? At (L)ang anghel na nakikipagusap sa akin ay nagsabi sa akin, Aking ipakikita sa iyo kung ano-ano ang mga ito.
10 At ang lalake na nakatayo sa mga puno ng mirto ay sumagot at nagsabi, Ang mga ito yaong mga sinugo ng Panginoon na magsilibot sa lupa.
11 At sila'y nagsisagot sa anghel ng Panginoon na nakatayo sa mga puno ng mirto, at nagsabi, Aming nilibot ang lupa, at, narito, ang buong lupa ay tahimik, at tiwasay.
12 Nang magkagayo'y ang anghel ng Panginoon ay sumagot at nagsabi, Oh Panginoon ng mga hukbo, (M)hanggang kailan mawawalan ka ng habag sa Jerusalem at sa mga bayan ng Juda, (N)laban sa iyong mga kinagalitan (O)nitong pitong pung taon?
13 At ang Panginoo'y sumagot sa anghel na nakikipagusap sa akin ng mga mabuting salita, (P)ng mga salitang pangaliw.
14 Sa gayo'y ang anghel na nakikipagusap sa akin ay nagsabi sa akin. Ikaw ay humiyaw, na iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo: (Q)Ako'y naninibugho sa Jerusalem at sa Sion ng malaking paninibugho.
15 At ako'y totoong naghihinanakit sa mga bansa na mga tiwasay; (R)sapagka't ako'y naghinanakit ng kaunti, at sila'y nagsitulong ng pagbubungad ng kadalamhatian.
16 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Ako'y nagbalik sa Jerusalem na may taglay na mga pagkahabag; ang aking bahay ay matatayo (S)roon, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, at (T)isang pising panukat ay mauunat sa ibabaw ng Jerusalem.
17 Humiyaw ka pa uli, na iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Ang aking mga bayan ay sasagana dahil sa pagkasulong; at (U)aaliwin pa ng Panginoon ang Sion, at (V)pipiliin pa ang Jerusalem.
18 At aking itinanaw ang aking mga mata, at aking nakita, at, narito, ang (W)apat na sungay.
19 At aking sinabi sa (X)anghel na nakikipagusap sa akin, Ano ang mga ito? At siya'y sumagot sa akin, (Y)Ito ang mga sungay sa nagpangalat sa Juda, sa Israel, at sa Jerusalem.
20 At ipinakita sa akin ng Panginoon ang apat na panday.
21 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko, Ano ang ipinaritong gawin ng mga ito? At siya'y nagsalita na nagsabi, Ito ang mga sungay na nagpangalat sa Juda, na anopa't walang lalake na nagtaas ng kaniyang ulo; nguni't ang mga ito'y naparito upang takutin sila, upang ihulog ang mga sungay ng mga bansa, na (Z)nagtaas ng kanilang mga sungay laban sa lupain ng Juda upang pangalatin.
