జెకర్యా 12
1 దేవోక్తి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులనుగూర్చి వచ్చిన యెహోవా వాక్కు. ఆకాశమండలమును విశాలపరచి భూమికి పునాదివేసి మనుష్యుల అంతరంగములో జీవాత్మను సృజించు యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చునదేమనగా
2 నేను యెరూషలేము చుట్టునున్న జనులకందరికి మత్తు పుట్టించు పాత్రగా చేయబోవుచున్నాను; శత్రు వులు యెరూషలేమునకు ముట్టడివేయగా అది యూదా మీదికిని వచ్చును.
3 ఆ దినమందు నేను యెరూష లేమును సమస్తమైన జనులకు బరువైన రాయిగా చేతును, దానిని ఎత్తి మోయువారందరు మిక్కిలి గాయ పడుదురు, భూజనులందరును దానికి విరోధులై కూడు దురు.
4 ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కుఆ దినమందు నేను గుఱ్ఱములన్నిటికిని బెదరును, వాటిని ఎక్కువారికి వెఱ్ఱిని పుట్టింతును, యూదావారిమీద నా దృష్టియుంచి జనముల గుఱ్ఱములన్నిటికిని అంధత్వము కలుగజేతును.
5 అప్పుడు యెరూషలేములోని అధికారులుయెరూషలేము నివా సులు తమ దేవుడైన యెహోవాను నమ్ముకొనుటవలన మాకు బలము కలుగుచున్నదని తమ హృదయమందు చెప్పు కొందురు.
6 ఆ దినమున నేను యూదా అధికారులను కట్టెల క్రింది నిప్పులుగాను పనల క్రింది దివిటీగాను చేతును, వారు నలుదిక్కులనున్న జనములనందరిని దహించుదురు. యెరూషలేమువారు ఇంకను తమ స్వస్థలమగు యెరూష లేములో నివసించుదురు.
7 మరియు దావీదు ఇంటి వారును యెరూషలేము నివాసులును, తమకు కలిగిన ఘనతనుబట్టి యూదావారిమీద అతిశయపడకుండునట్లు యెహోవా యూదావారిని మొదట రక్షించును.
8 ఆ కాలమున యెహోవా యెరూషలేము నివాసులకు సంరక్ష కుడుగా నుండును; ఆ కాలమున వారిలో శక్తిహీనులు దావీదువంటివారుగాను, దావీదు సంతతి వారు దేవునివంటి వారుగాను జనుల దృష్టికి యెహోవా దూతలవంటి వారుగాను ఉందురు.
9 ఆ కాలమున యెరూషలేముమీదికి వచ్చు అన్యజనులనందరిని నేను నశింపజేయ పూనుకొనె దను.
10 దావీదు సంతతివారిమీదను యెరూషలేము నివా సులమీదను కరుణ నొందించు ఆత్మను విజ్ఞాపనచేయు ఆత్మను నేను కుమ్మరింపగా వారు తాము పొడిచిన నామీద దృష్టియుంచి, యొకడు తన యేక కుమారుని విషయమై దుఃఖించునట్లు,తన జ్యేష్ఠపుత్రుని విషయమై యొకడు ప్రలా పించునట్లు అతని విషయమై దుఃఖించుచు ప్రలాపింతురు.
11 మెగిద్దోను లోయలో హదదిమ్మోనుదగ్గర జరిగిన ప్రలాపమువలెనే ఆ దినమున యెరూషలేములో బహుగా ప్రలాపము జరుగును.
12 దేశనివాసులందరు ఏ కుటుంబ మునకు ఆ కుటుంబముగా ప్రలాపింతురు, దావీదు కుటుంబి కులు ప్రత్యేకముగాను, వారి భార్యలు ప్రత్యేకముగాను, నాతాను కుటుంబికులు ప్రత్యేకముగాను, వారి భార్యలు ప్రత్యేకముగాను,
13 లేవి కుటుంబికులు ప్రత్యేకముగాను, వారి భార్యలు ప్రత్యేకముగాను, షిమీ కుటుంబికులు ప్రత్యేకముగాను, వారి భార్యలు ప్రత్యేకముగాను,
14 మిగిలిన వారిలో ప్రతి కుటుంబపువారు ప్రత్యేకముగాను, వారి భార్యలు ప్రత్యేకముగాను, ప్రలాపింతురు.
1 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth 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 trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the Lord, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8 In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord 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 upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his 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 Hadadrimmon 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.
1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to record, and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel:
5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
8 Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
11 Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.
12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
23 Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth.
34 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord.
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required:
38 And Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 To offer burnt offerings unto the Lord upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel;
41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever;
42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
