AFR DVK
1
Again the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me], saying,
Weer het die woord van die HERE van leërskare tot my gekom, sê,
2
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
So sê die HERE van leërskare; Ek was ywerig vir Sion met groot ywer, en ek was ywerig vir haar met groot grimmigheid.
3
Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
So sê die HERE; Ek is na Sion teruggekeer, en sal in die midde van Jérusalem woon: en Jérusalem sal die stad van waarheid genoem word; en die berg van die HERE van leërskare die heilige berg.
4
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
So sê die HERE van leërskare; Daar sal nog ou manne en ou vroue in die strate van Jérusalem woon, en elke man met sy staf in sy hand vanweë baie ouderdom.
5
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
En die strate van die stad sal vol wees met seuns en dogters wat in die strate daarvan speel.
6
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
So sê die HERE van leërskare; As dit wonderlik is in die oë van die oorblyfsel van hierdie volk in hierdie dae, moet dit ook in my oë wonderlik wees? sê die HERE van leërskare.
7
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
So sê die HERE van leërskare; Kyk, ek sal my volk red uit die oosteland, en uit die westeland;
8
And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
En ek sal hulle bring, en hulle sal in die midde van Jérusalem woon: en hulle sal my volk wees, en ek sal hulle God wees, in waarheid en in geregtigheid.
9
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which [were] in the day [that] the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
So sê die HERE van leërskare; Laat julle hande sterk wees, julle wat in hierdie dae hierdie woorde hoor deur die mond van die profete, wat in die dag was dat die fondamente van die huis van die HERE van leërskare gelê is, dat die tempel gebou mag word.
10
For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither [was there any] peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
Want voor hierdie dae was daar geen huur vir die mens nie, en ook geen huur vir die dier nie; en daar was geen vrede vir hom wat uitgegaan of ingekom het nie vanweë die verdrukking: want ek het al die mense elkeen teen sy naaste gestel.
11
But now I [will] not [be] unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
Maar nou sal ek nie soos in die vorige dae met die oorblyfsel van hierdie volk wees nie, sê die HERE van leërskare.
12
For the seed [shall be] prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [things].
Want die saad sal voorspoedig wees; die wingerdstok sal sy vrug gee, en die grond sal sy toename gee, en die hemele sal hulle dou gee; en ek sal die oorblyfsel van hierdie volk al hierdie dinge laat erf.
13
And it shall come to pass, [that] as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, [but] let your hands be strong.
En dit sal gebeur, dat soos julle ’n vloek was onder die heidene, o huis van Juda, en huis van Israel; so sal ek julle red, en julle sal ’n seën wees: vrees nie, maar laat julle hande sterk wees.
14
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:
Want so sê die HERE van leërskare; Soos ek bedink het om julle kwaad te doen, toe julle vaders My tot toorn verwek het, sê die HERE van leërskare, en ek het nie berou gehad nie:
15
So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
So het ek weer in hierdie dae bedink om goed te doen aan Jérusalem en aan die huis van Juda: vrees nie.
16
These [are] the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
Dit is die dinge wat julle moet doen; Spreek julle elkeen die waarheid tot sy naaste; voer die oordeel van waarheid en vrede in julle poorte uit:
17
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these [are things] that I hate, saith the LORD.
En laat niemand van julle boosheid teen sy naaste in julle hart bedink nie; en lief nie ’n valse eed nie: want al hierdie is dinge wat ek haat, sê die HERE.
18
And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
En die woord van die HERE van leërskare het tot my gekom, sê,
19
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
So sê die HERE van leërskare; Die vas van die vierde maand, en die vas van die vyfde, en die vas van die sewende, en die vas van die tiende, sal vir die huis van Juda vreugde en blydskap, en vrolike feeste wees: daarom lief die waarheid en vrede.
20
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; [It shall] yet [come to pass], that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
So sê die HERE van leërskare; Dit sal nog gebeur, dat daar volk sal kom, en die inwoners van baie stede:
21
And the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
En die inwoners van een stad sal na ’n ander gaan, sê, Laat ons spoedig gaan om voor die HERE te bid, en om die HERE van leërskare te soek: ek sal ook gaan.
22
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Ja, baie volk en sterk nasies sal kom om die HERE van leërskare in Jérusalem te soek, en om voor die HERE te bid.
23
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days [it shall come to pass], that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard [that] God [is] with you.
So sê die HERE van leërskare; In daardie dae sal dit gebeur, dat tien manne uit al die tale van die nasies sal gryp, selfs sal gryp die slip van hom wat ’n Jood is, sê, Ons sal met julle gaan: want ons het gehoor dat God met julle is.
