Zakari 1-7
Haitian Creole Version
1 ¶ Nan uityèm mwa dizyèm lanne rèy wa Dariyis, Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Zakari, ki te pitit Berekya, pitit pitit Ido. Li ba li mesaj sa a pou pèp la.
2 Li di li: -Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen te fache anpil sou zansèt nou yo.
3 Men koulye a, mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, men sa m' voye di nou: Tounen vin jwenn mwen, m'a tounen vin jwenn nou tou. Se vre wi sa m'ap di nou la a.
4 Pa fè tankou zansèt nou yo. Nan tan lontan pwofèt yo te ba yo mesaj mwen. Yo te di yo: Men sa Seyè a di nou: Kite move chemen n'ap swiv la. Sispann fè sa ki mal. Men, yo pa t' koute m', yo fè tankou se pa avè yo m' t'ap pale. Se vre wi sa m'ap di la a.
5 Kote zansèt nou yo ye koulye a? Eske pwofèt yo te ka viv san yo pa janm mouri?
6 Men, sa m' te di nan pawòl ak lòd mwen te bay pwofèt yo, sèvitè m' yo, pou zansèt nou yo, èske sa pa rive yo vre? Lè sa a, yo vin règrèt sa yo te fè a. Yo rekonèt mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, mwen te pini yo pou jan yo t'ap viv la, pou tou sa yo te fè ki mal, jan mwen te soti pou m' fè l' la.
7 ¶ Nan dezyèm lanne rèy wa Dariyis, vennkatriyèm jou nan onzyèm mwa a, mwa yo rele Cheba a, Seyè a bay pwofèt Zakari, pitit Berekya, pitit pitit Ido a, yon mesaj.
8 Men ki jan pwofèt la rakonte l': -Mwen fè yon vizyon nan mitan lannwit: Mwen wè yon nonm sou yon chwal wouj. Li te kanpe nan mitan yon bann pye jasmen ki te nan yon ti fon anba pyebwa. Te gen yon chwal wouj, yon chwal alzan ak yon chwal blan kanpe dèyè do l'.
9 Mwen mande: -Kisa chwal sa yo ye menm, mèt? Zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan reponn mwen: -Mwen pral fè ou wè sa yo ye.
10 Nonm ki te kanpe nan mitan pye jasmen yo pran lapawòl, li di m' konsa: -Se moun Seyè a te voye al wè sa k'ap pase toupatou sou latè.
11 Chwal yo pale ak zanj Bondye a ki te kanpe nan mitan pye jasmen yo, yo di l' konsa: -Nou te ale toupatou sou latè. Nou te wè tout moun chita byen dousman lakay yo, san bri san kont.
12 Lè sa a, zanj Seyè a pran lapawòl, epi li di: -Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa, sa fè swasanndizan depi ou ankòlè sou lavil Jerizalèm ak sou lavil Jida yo. Kilè w'a resi gen pitye pou yo?
13 Seyè a reponn zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan. Li ba li bon pawòl pou remoute kouraj li.
14 Lèfini, zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan di m': -Men sa pou ou fè moun yo konnen: Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale. Li di: Mwen renmen lavil Jerizalèm ki sou mòn Siyon an anpil anpil.
15 Men, mwen move anpil sou nasyon k'ap mennen lavi dous yo. Mwen te fache sou pèp mwen an, se vre. Men, mwen pa t' twò fache pase sa. Men, nasyon yo pwofite, yo fè gwo malè sou li.
16 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a di: M'ap tounen vin jwenn lavil Jerizalèm ankò, m'ap gen pitye pou li. Yo pral rebati tanp mwen an nan lavil la. Jerizalèm pral kanpe ankò. Se mwen men, Seyè a, ki di sa:
17 Zanj lan di m': -Men yon lòt bagay pou fè yo konnen ankò. Seyè a pale, li di konsa: Lavil mwen yo pral wè zafè yo mache byen ankò. M'ap gen pitye pou mòn Siyon an ankò. Mwen pral chwazi lavil Jerizalèm pou li rele m' pa m' ankò.
18 ¶ Apre sa, mwen fè yon lòt vizyon, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè kat kòn bèf.
19 Mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Kisa kòn sa yo ye, mèt? Li reponn mwen: -Kòn sa yo, se nasyon ki te depòte moun peyi Jida yo, pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
20 Apre sa, Seyè a fè m' wè kat bòs fòjon ak mato nan men yo.
21 Mwen mande l': -Kisa moun sa yo vin fè la a? Li reponn mwen: -Kòn sa yo, se nasyon ki te depòte tout pèp peyi Jida a, ki te fè tout moun Jida yo t'ap mache tèt bese. Men, bòs fòjon sa yo vini pou yo fè nasyon yo pè, pou kraze pouvwa tout nasyon ki t'ap pwofite sou pèp peyi Jida a, lèfini ki te gaye yo toupatou.
2 ¶ Apre sa, mwen fè yon lòt vizyon, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè yon nonm avèk yon chenn pou mezire nan men l'.
2 Mwen mande l': -Kote ou prale? Li reponn mwen: -Mwen pral pran mezi lavil Jerizalèm, pou m' wè ki longè ak ki lajè li genyen.
3 Zanj ki t'ap pale avèk mwen an te rete kanpe. Yon lòt zanj pwoche devan l' vin jwenn li.
4 Premye zanj lan di dezyèm lan: -Kouri al di jenn gason ou wè ak chenn nan men l' lan: sitèlman pral gen moun ak bèt nan lavil Jerizalèm, yo p'ap bezwen bati miray pou fèmen l'.
5 Seyè a pale, li fè konnen se li menm k'ap tankou yon gwo miray dife k'ap fè wonn lavil la pou pwoteje l'. Li di: M'ap rete nan mitan lavil la ak tout pouvwa mwen.
6 ¶ Men sa Seyè a di: -Ey! Nou menm mwen te gaye nan kat kwen latè yo, kouri, kouri kite peyi ki nan nò a.
7 Ey! Nou menm moun Siyon ki rete lavil Babilòn yo, sove kò nou!
8 Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa di: Se li menm ki voye m'. Men sa li di sou nasyon ki te piye pèp li a. Si yon moun manyen pèp la, se tankou si li te foure dwèt nan je m'.
9 Mwen menm mwen pral regle ak nou. Moun nou te fè tounen esklav yo, se yo menm ankò ki pral piye nou. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m'.
10 ¶ Seyè a di ankò: -Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, chante! Fè kè nou kontan! Men m'ap vini pou m' rete nan mitan nou! Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa!
11 Lè sa a, anpil nasyon va vin jwenn Seyè a pou yo sèvi l'. Se pèp pa li menm y'ap ye. L'a vin rete nan mitan yo. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m' kote nou.
12 Seyè a va pran peyi Jida a pou li tankou pòsyon pa l' nan tè yo mete apa pou li a. L'a chwazi lavil Jerizalèm ankò.
13 Se pou tout moun pe bouch yo devan Seyè a, paske l'ap soti kote ki apa pou li a, l'ap vin delivre nou!
3 ¶ Apre sa, Seyè a fè m' wè Jozye, granprèt la, ki te kanpe devan zanj Seyè a. Satan menm te kanpe sou bò dwat Jozye pou l' te ka akize l'.
2 Zanj Seyè a di Satan konsa: -Se pou Seyè a regle ou, Satan. Wi, se pou Seyè a ki renmen lavil Jerizalèm lan regle ou! Nonm sa a tankou yon bout bwa tou limen yo kouri wete nan dife pou l' pa fin boule nèt.
3 Jozye te kanpe la devan zanj Seyè a, ak rad li tou sal.
4 Zanj lan pran lapawòl ankò, li pale ak lòt zanj ki te la tou devan li. Li di yo: -Wete rad sal ki sou li a. Epi li di Jozye konsa: -Ou wè. Mwen wete tout peche ou yo. M'ap ba ou bèl rad pwòp pou ou mete sou ou.
5 Lèfini, li pase yon lòd, li di lòt zanj yo: -Mare tèt li ak yon mouchwa pwòp. Yo mare tèt Jozye ak yon bèl mouchwa pwòp, epi yo mete rad pwòp sou li. Zanj lan menm te kanpe la ap gade.
6 Apre sa, zanj Seyè a pale ak Jozye, li di l' konsa:
7 -Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ou: Si ou fè sa mwen di ou fè, si ou swiv lòd mwen ba ou yo, se ou menm ki pral gouvènen kay mwen an. W'a reskonsab lakou m' lan. M'a koute lapriyè ou menm jan mwen koute lapriyè zanj ki devan m' yo.
8 ¶ Koute byen, ou menm Jozye, granprèt la, ansanm ak prèt parèy ou yo ki la devan ou. Nou pral sèvi remak pou bagay ki gen pou rive a. M'ap fè sèvitè m' lan, sa yo rele Boujon an, vini.
9 Men m'ap mete yon wòch devan Jozye. Wòch sa a gen sèt fas. Se mwen menm ki pral make pawòl ki pou make sou wòch la. Se mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa. M'ap pran yon sèl jou pou m' wete tout peche ki nan peyi a.
10 Jou sa a, yonn pral envite lòt vin lakay nou anba pye rezen ak pye fig frans nou yo. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
4 ¶ Zanj ki t'ap pale ak mwen an vini ankò. Li souke m' tankou yo souke yon moun k'ap dòmi pou fè l' leve.
2 Li di m' konsa: -Sa ou wè la a? Mwen reponn li: -Mwen wè yon lanp sèt branch an lò ki kanpe atè. Li gen yon gwo bòl nan tèt li, avèk sèt lanp sou rebò bòl la. Chak lanp gen sèt bòbèch pou sèt mèch.
3 Bò lanp sèt branch lan te gen de pye oliv, yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch.
4 Apre sa, mwen pran lapawòl, mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Mèt, kisa bagay sa yo ye?
5 Li reponn mwen: -Ou pa konn sa sa yo ye? Mwen reponn li: -Non, mèt! M' pa konnen non!
6 Lè sa a, zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan reponn mwen, li di m': -Men mesaj Seyè a voye pou Zowobabèl: Se pa avèk vanyan sòlda ou yo, ni avèk pwòp kouraj ou ou pral rive nan sa ou gen pou fè a. Men se va avèk pouvwa lespri pa m' m'ap ba ou a. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
7 Pi gwo antrav yo pral disparèt devan ou, Zowobabèl! Pi gwo mòn lan ap tounen yon plenn. Ou gen pou ou pran yon bèl wòch ladan l' pou fè lento pòtay tanp lan. Lè sa a tout moun va rele: Ala bèl sa bèl! Mèsi pou li!
8 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m':
9 -Zowobabèl mete men nan fondasyon kay la. Li gen pou l' fini l'. Lè sa a, pèp mwen an va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te voye ou bò kote yo.
10 Yo te pran ti konmansman sa yo pou anyen. Men, ala kontan y'a kontan lè y'a wè Zowobabèl ap kontwole travay la, filaplon li nan men l'! Zanj lan di m' ankò: -Lanp sèt branch ou wè la a se sèt je Seyè a ki wè tou sa k'ap pase sou latè.
11 ¶ Mwen mande l': -De pye oliv ki chak bò lanp sèt branch lan, yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch, kisa yo ye?
12 De branch oliv sou kote de ti tiyo an lò kote lwil ap koule a, kisa yo vle di?
13 Li reponn mwen. -Ou pa konnen sa yo vle di? Mwen di l': -Non, mèt. M' pa konnen non!
14 Li di m' konsa: -Se de moun Bondye chwazi pou fè travay Seyè a, Mèt latè a.
5 ¶ Mwen wè yon lòt vizyon ankò, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè yon liv an fòm yon woulo papye k'ap vole nan syèl la.
2 Zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan di m': -Kisa ou wè? Mwen reponn li: -Mwen wè yon liv an fòm yon woulo k'ap vole nan syèl la. Li gen trant pye longè ak kenz pye lajè.
3 Epi li di m': -Se madichon ki pral tonbe sou tout latè. Dapre sa ki ekri sou yon bò liv la, yo pral fè tout vòlò disparèt nan peyi a. Dapre sa ki ekri sou lòt bò a, moun k'ap fè sèman pou bay manti pral disparèt nan peyi a tou.
4 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di konsa se li menm menm ki voye madichon sa a pou li antre nan kay tout moun k'ap vòlò, ak nan kay tout moun k'ap pran non m' fè sèman pou bay manti. L'a rete nan kay moun sa yo. Tankou dife, l'ap boule tout bwa ak tout wòch kay yo.
5 ¶ Zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan parèt ankò, li di m' konsa: -Leve je ou. Gade sa k'ap vin koulye a.
6 Mwen mande l': -Kisa l' ye? Li reponn mwen: -Se yon panyen. Se peche moun yo ap fè nan tout peyi a ki ladan l'.
7 Panyen an te gen yon kouvèti plon. Kouvèti a leve. Mwen wè yon gwo fanm chita anndan panyen an.
8 Zanj lan di m' konsa: -Fanm sa a, se mechanste ki non l'! Lèfini, li peze l' antre nan panyen an epi li mete kouvèti plon an sou li.
9 Apre sa mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè de fanm. Yo te gen gwo zèl tankou sigòy. Yo t'ap vole nan syèl la vini. Yo pran panyen an, yo moute avè l'.
10 Mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Kote yo prale ak panyen an la a?
11 Li reponn mwen: -Yo pral bati yon tanp pou li nan peyi Babilòn. Y'ap fè yon pye pou li. Lèfini, y'ap mete l' la pou moun adore l'.
6 ¶ Mwen fè yon lòt vizyon ankò, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè kat cha lagè ki t'ap soti nan fant de mòn fèt an kwiv.
2 Premye cha a te gen chwal wouj ki t'ap rale l'. Dezyèm cha a te gen chwal nwa ki t'ap rale l'.
3 Twazyèm cha a te gen chwal blan ki t'ap rale l'. Katriyèm cha a te gen chwal takte wouj ki t'ap rale l'.
4 Mwen pran lapawòl, mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Sa sa yo ye, mèt?
5 Zanj lan reponn mwen: -Se kat van ki fèk soti devan Mèt tout latè a.
6 Cha chwal nwa yo t'ap rale a pran direksyon peyi ki sou bò nò a. Cha chwal blan yo t'ap rale a pran menm direksyon an. Cha chwal takte wouj yo t'ap rale a pran direksyon peyi ki sou bò sid la.
7 Lè chwal takte wouj yo parèt, yo t'ap pyafe, yo pa t' ka tann ankò pou y' al toupatou sou latè. Zanj lan di yo: -Ale toupatou sou latè! Yo kouri ale toupatou sou latè.
8 Lèfini, zanj lan rele m', li di m' konsa: -Chwal ou wè ki pran direksyon peyi ki sou bò nò a fè kòlè Seyè a tonbe.
9 ¶ Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:
10 -W'a pran ofrann moun ki soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a: Eldayi, Tobija ak Jedaya. W'a ale lakay Jozyas, pitit gason Sofoni an, ki fèk rive soti lavil Babilòn.
11 W'a pran ajan ak lò yo te ba ou yo, w'a fè yon kouwòn, w'a mete l' sou tèt Jozye, pitit gason Jozadak la, granprèt la.
12 Lèfini, w'a pale avè l', w'a di l': Men sa Seyè a di: Men moun yo rele Boujon an. Li pral pouse kote li ye a. Li pral rebati kay ki apa pou Seyè a.
13 Se li menm ki pral rebati kay ki apa pou Seyè a. Yo pral konsidere l' tankou yon wa. Li pral chita sou fòtèy la pou l' gouvènen pèp mwen an. Va gen yon prèt bò kote l'. Y'a travay ansanm ak kè poze.
14 Kouwòn lan menm va rete nan kay ki apa pou Seyè a. L'a sèvi pou fè moun toujou chonje Eldayi, Tobija, Jedaja ak Jozyas, pitit gason Sofoni an.
15 Moun ki rete byen lwen va vini, y'a ede nou rebati tanp Seyè a. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te voye m' kote nou. Se sa menm ki va rive si nou fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou lòd fè.
7 ¶ Katriyèm jou nan nevyèm mwa yo rele mwa Kislev, nan katriyèm lanne rèy wa Dariyis, Seyè a pale ak Zakari.
2 Moun lavil Betèl yo te voye Charezè ak Regèm Melèk ansanm ak moun pa yo vin lapriyè nan pye Seyè a.
3 Yo te voye yo vin mande prèt yo ansanm ak pwofèt k'ap sèvi nan tanp Seyè a keksyon sa a: -Pandan senkyèm mwa a, èske se pou nou toujou pran lapenn pou tanp yo te detwi a? Eske se pou nou toujou fè jèn jan nou te konn fè pandan tout lanne anvan yo?
4 Lè sa a, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
5 -Pale ak tout moun ki nan peyi a ansanm ak prèt yo tou. Mande yo pou mwen: Sa fè swasanndizan depi n'ap fè jèn, depi n'ap pran lapenn sou chak senkyèm ak setyèm mwa. Eske se pou mwen nou te fè tou sa?
6 Konsa tou, lè nou t'ap manje, lè nou t'ap bwè, èske se pa t' pou pwòp plezi pa nou?
7 Se menm mesaj sa a Seyè a te voye pwofèt tan lontan yo vin di nou. Lè sa a, lavil Jerizalèm te plen moun, zafè yo t'ap mache byen. Te plen moun ap viv nan ti bouk ki toutotou lavil la, nan zòn Negèv la ak nan plenn sou bò solèy kouche a.
8 ¶ Seyè a pale ak Zakari, li di l' konsa:
9 -Mwen te pale ak pèp mwen an, mwen te di yo se pou yo rann jistis san patipri. Se pou yo aji ak bon kè yonn ak lòt, se pou yo gen pitye yonn pou lòt.
10 Pa peze vèv yo, ni timoun san papa yo, ni moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou, ni moun ki nan nesesite. Pa rete ap kalkile nan tèt nou jan pou nou fè lòt moun mal.
11 Men, yo te derefize koute m'. Yo t'ap fè wondonmon. Yo bouche zòrèy yo pou yo pa tande.
12 Yo fè kè yo di kou wòch pou yo pa tande lòd ak mesaj mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, mwen te voye ba yo. Se Lespri Seyè a menm ki te mete nan bouch pwofèt tan lontan yo mesaj sa yo. Se konsa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te move anpil sou yo.
13 Sa ki rive lè sa a? Menm jan yo pa t' koute l' lè li t'ap pale ak yo a, li menm tou, li pa t' reponn yo lè yo te lapriyè nan pye l'.
14 Li gaye yo nan mitan yon bann nasyon yo pa t' konnen. Lènmi fin devalize tout peyi a, yo pa kite pesonn ladan l'. Yon bon peyi konsa, yo fè l' tounen yon dezè.
Zechariah 1-7

Zechariah 1-7
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)
A Man With a Measuring Line
2 [b]Then I looked up, and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 I asked, “Where are you going?”
He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.”(AS)
3 While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him 4 and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls(AT) because of the great number(AU) of people and animals in it.(AV) 5 And I myself will be a wall(AW) of fire(AX) around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory(AY) within.’(AZ)
6 “Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “for I have scattered(BA) you to the four winds of heaven,”(BB) declares the Lord.(BC)
7 “Come, Zion! Escape,(BD) you who live in Daughter Babylon!”(BE) 8 For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye(BF)— 9 I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them.[c](BG) Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.(BH)
10 “Shout(BI) and be glad, Daughter Zion.(BJ) For I am coming,(BK) and I will live among you,”(BL) declares the Lord.(BM) 11 “Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people.(BN) I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.(BO) 12 The Lord will inherit(BP) Judah(BQ) as his portion in the holy land and will again choose(BR) Jerusalem. 13 Be still(BS) before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.(BT)”
Clean Garments for the High Priest
3 Then he showed me Joshua(BU) the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan[d](BV) standing at his right side to accuse him. 2 The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you,(BW) Satan! The Lord, who has chosen(BX) Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick(BY) snatched from the fire?”(BZ)
3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. 4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”
Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin,(CA) and I will put fine garments(CB) on you.”
5 Then I said, “Put a clean turban(CC) on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.
6 The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: 7 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements,(CD) then you will govern my house(CE) and have charge(CF) of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.(CG)
8 “‘Listen, High Priest(CH) Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic(CI) of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.(CJ) 9 See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua!(CK) There are seven eyes[e](CL) on that one stone,(CM) and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin(CN) of this land in a single day.
10 “‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit(CO) under your vine and fig tree,(CP)’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
The Gold Lampstand and the Two Olive Trees
4 Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke(CQ) me up, like someone awakened from sleep.(CR) 2 He asked me, “What do you see?”(CS)
I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand(CT) with a bowl at the top and seven lamps(CU) on it, with seven channels to the lamps. 3 Also there are two olive trees(CV) by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”
4 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 He answered, “Do you not know what these are?”
“No, my lord,” I replied.(CW)
6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:(CX) ‘Not(CY) by might nor by power,(CZ) but by my Spirit,’(DA) says the Lord Almighty.
7 “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground.(DB) Then he will bring out the capstone(DC) to shouts(DD) of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’”
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation(DE) of this temple; his hands will also complete it.(DF) Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me(DG) to you.
10 “Who dares despise the day(DH) of small things,(DI) since the seven eyes(DJ) of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone[f] in the hand of Zerubbabel?”(DK)
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees(DL) on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”
13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?”
“No, my lord,” I said.
14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed(DM) to[g] serve the Lord of all the earth.”
The Flying Scroll
5 I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.(DN)
2 He asked me, “What do you see?”(DO)
I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.[h]”
3 And he said to me, “This is the curse(DP) that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief(DQ) will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely(DR) will be banished. 4 The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely(DS) by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.(DT)’”
The Woman in a Basket
5 Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”
6 I asked, “What is it?”
He replied, “It is a basket.(DU)” And he added, “This is the iniquity[i] of the people throughout the land.”
7 Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! 8 He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.(DV)
9 Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork,(DW) and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.
10 “Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.
11 He replied, “To the country of Babylonia[j](DX) to build a house(DY) for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”(DZ)
Four Chariots
6 I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots(EA) coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze. 2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black,(EB) 3 the third white,(EC) and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful. 4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 The angel answered me, “These are the four spirits[k](ED) of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.(EE) 6 The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west,[l] and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”
7 When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth.(EF) And he said, “Go throughout the earth!” So they went throughout the earth.
8 Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit[m] rest(EG) in the land of the north.”(EH)
A Crown for Joshua
9 The word of the Lord came to me: 10 “Take silver and gold from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon.(EI) Go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah. 11 Take the silver and gold and make a crown,(EJ) and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua(EK) son of Jozadak.[n](EL) 12 Tell him this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Here is the man whose name is the Branch,(EM) and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the Lord.(EN) 13 It is he who will build the temple of the Lord, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he[o] will be a priest(EO) on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.’ 14 The crown will be given to Heldai,[p] Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen[q] son of Zephaniah as a memorial(EP) in the temple of the Lord. 15 Those who are far away will come and help to build the temple of the Lord,(EQ) and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.(ER) This will happen if you diligently obey(ES) the Lord your God.”
Justice and Mercy, Not Fasting
7 In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah(ET) on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev.(EU) 2 The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melek, together with their men, to entreat(EV) the Lord(EW) 3 by asking the priests of the house of the Lord Almighty and the prophets, “Should I mourn(EX) and fast in the fifth(EY) month, as I have done for so many years?”
4 Then the word of the Lord Almighty came to me: 5 “Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted(EZ) and mourned in the fifth and seventh(FA) months for the past seventy years,(FB) was it really for me that you fasted? 6 And when you were eating and drinking, were you not just feasting for yourselves?(FC) 7 Are these not the words the Lord proclaimed through the earlier prophets(FD) when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were at rest(FE) and prosperous, and the Negev and the western foothills(FF) were settled?’”(FG)
8 And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah: 9 “This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice;(FH) show mercy and compassion to one another.(FI) 10 Do not oppress the widow(FJ) or the fatherless, the foreigner(FK) or the poor.(FL) Do not plot evil against each other.’(FM)
11 “But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly(FN) they turned their backs(FO) and covered their ears.(FP) 12 They made their hearts as hard as flint(FQ) and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets.(FR) So the Lord Almighty was very angry.(FS)
13 “‘When I called, they did not listen;(FT) so when they called, I would not listen,’(FU) says the Lord Almighty.(FV) 14 ‘I scattered(FW) them with a whirlwind(FX) among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land they left behind them was so desolate that no one traveled through it.(FY) This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.(FZ)’”
