Zacarías 1

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 En el octavo mes del año segundo de Darío fue dirigida la palabra de Yahveh al profeta Zacarías (hijo de Berekías), hijo de Iddó, en estos términos:	1 In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2 «Yahveh se ha irritado mucho contra vuestros padres».	2 The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.
3 Les dirás: «Así dice Yahveh Sebaot: Volveos a mí - oráculo de Yahveh Sebaot - y yo me volveré a vosotros, dice Yahveh Sebaot.	3 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.
4 No seáis como vuestros padres, a quienes los antiguos profetas gritaban así: “¡Volveos de vuestros malos caminos y de vuestras malas obras!” Pero ellos no escucharon ni me hicieron caso - oráculo de Yahveh -.	4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked thoughts. But they did not heed, and neither did they pay attention to me, says the Lord.
5 Vuestros padres ¿dónde están? Y los profetas ¿van a vivir por siempre?	5 Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?
6 Sin embargo, mis palabras y preceptos que yo había prescrito a mis siervos los profetas ¿no alcanzaron a vuestros padres? Por eso se volvieron ellos y dijeron: “Como Yahveh Sebaot había decidido tratarnos, según nuestros caminos y nuestras obras, así nos ha tratado”».	6 Yet truly my words and my lawfulness, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, were indeed comprehended by your fathers, and so they were converted, and they said: Just as the Lord of hosts decided to do to us, according to our ways and according to our inventions, so has he done to us.
7 El día veinticuatro del undécimo mes (que es el mes de Sebat), el año segundo de Darío, fue dirigida la palabra de Yahveh al profeta Zacarías (hijo de (Berekías), hijo de Iddó, en estos términos:	7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is called Shevat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 He tenido una visión esta noche. Era un hombre que montaba un caballo rojo; estaba de pie entre los mirtos que hay en la hondonada; detrás de él, caballos rojos, alazanes y blancos.	8 I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.
9 Yo dije: «¿Quiénes son éstos, señor mío?» El ángel que hablaba conmigo me dijo: «Yo te enseñaré quiénes son éstos».	9 And I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me, “I will reveal to you what these are.”
10 Y el hombre que estaba entre los mirtos intervino y dijo: «Estos son los que ha enviado Yahveh a recorrer la tierra».	10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth.”
11 Entonces ellos se dirigieron al ángel de Yahveh que estaba entre los mirtos y dijeron: «Hemos recorrido la tierra y hemos visto que toda la tierra vive en paz».	11 And those who stood among the myrtle trees answered the angel of the Lord, and they said, “We have walked through the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited and is at rest.”
12 Tomó la palabra el ángel de Yahveh y dijo: «Oh Yahveh Sebaot, ¿hasta cuándo seguirás sin apiadarte de Jerusalén y de las ciudades de Judá, contra las cuales estás irritado desde hace setenta años?»	12 And the angel of the Lord answered and said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry? This is now the seventieth year.”
13 Yahveh respondió al ángel que hablaba conmigo palabras buenas, palabras de consuelo.	13 And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.
14 Y el ángel que hablaba conmigo me dijo: «Clama y di: Así dice Yahveh Sebaot: Celoso estoy por Jerusalén y por Sión con gran celo,	14 And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me: Cry out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great zeal.
15 y con gran irritación irritado contra las naciones que se sienten seguras, y que, cuando yo estaba poco irritado, contribuyeron al mal.	15 And, with a great anger, I am angry with the wealthy nations. Though I had been angry a little, truly they advanced further in evil.
16 Por eso, así dice Yahveh: A Jerusalén me vuelvo con piedad: en ella será reedificada mi Casa - oráculo de Yahveh Sebaot - y el cordel será tendido sobre Jerusalén.	16 Because of this, thus says the Lord: I will be turned back, towards Jerusalem, with mercies; and my house will be built upon this, says the Lord of hosts. And the building line will be extended over Jerusalem.
17 Clama también y di: Así dice Yahveh Sebaot: Aún han de rebosar mis ciudades de bienes; aún consolará Yahveh a Sión y aún elegirá a Jerusalén».	17 Until then, cry out saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Until then, my cities will flow with good things, and, until then, the Lord will comfort Zion, and, until then, he will single out Jerusalem.
	18 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw. And behold: four horns.
	19 And I said to the angel, who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah and Israel and Jerusalem.”
	20 And the Lord showed me four workmen.
	21 And I said, “What have these come to do?” He spoke, saying, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah, through every single man, and none of them lifted up his head. And these have come to frighten them away, so as to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which have lifted up a horn over the land of Judah, so as to scatter it.”
