Young's Literal Translation
Again
the
word of the
LORD
of Hosts came
to
me
, saying:
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
of Hosts, saying:
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “
I am
jealous
for Zion with great zeal ;
I am
jealous
for her with
great
fervor
. ”
`Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: I have
been
zealous
for Zion with great zeal ,
With
great
heat
I have
been
zealous
for her.
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
I will
return
to
Zion and dwell
in Jerusalem .
Then
Jerusalem will
be
called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the
LORD
of Hosts will
be
called
the Holy Mountain. ”
Thus
said
Jehovah
: I have
turned
back
unto
Zion ,
And I
have
dwelt
in the
midst
of
Jerusalem ,
And
Jerusalem hath
been
called `
The city of truth, '
And the mountain of Jehovah
of Hosts ,
`
The holy mountain. '
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “
Old men and old women will
again
sit
along
the
streets
of Jerusalem, each with
a
staff in hand because of great
age
.
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Again
dwell
do
old men and old women ,
In
broad
places
of Jerusalem, And
each his
staff in his
hand ,
Because of abundance
of
days
.
And the
streets
of the city will
be
filled
with
boys and girls playing there
. ”
And broad
places
of the city are
full
of
boys and girls ,
Playing in
its
broad
places
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “If
this
is impossible
in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these
days, should
it
also be
impossible
in My
eyes ?”
declares
the
LORD
of Hosts.
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Surely
it
is wonderful
in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those
days, Also in Mine
eyes it
is
wonderful,
An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “
I will
save
My people from the land of the east
and from the land of the west.
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Lo,
I am
saving
My people from the land of the rising,
And from the land of the going
in,
of
the
sun,
I will
bring
them back
to
dwell
in Jerusalem, where
they will
be
My
people, and I will
be
their
faithful
and
righteous
God. ”
And
I have
brought
them in ,
They
have
dwelt
in
the
midst
of
Jerusalem, And
they have
been
to
Me
for
a
people, And I am
to
them
for
God ,
In
truth
and
in
righteousness
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “
Let your hands be strong, you
who now
hear
these words spoken
by
the
prophets
who
were
present
when
the foundations
were
laid
to
rebuild
the temple
, the house of the
LORD
of Hosts.
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, Ye
who are
hearing
in
these days
these
words from
the mouth
of
the prophets
, That
in
the day
the
house of Jehovah
of Hosts Hath
been
founded,
the
temple
`is'
to
be
built
.
For before those days neither
man nor
beast
received
wages
, nor
was
there safety
from
the
enemy
for
anyone
who came
or
went
, for
I had
turned
every
man
against his neighbor
.
For ,
before those days there
hath
been
no
hiring
of
man, Yea,
a
hiring
of
beasts
there is
none;
And
to
him
who is
going
out
, And
to
him
who
is
coming
in,
There
is
no
peace
because
of
the
adversary,
And
I send
all
men
--
each
against his neighbour
.
But
now I
will
not treat
the remnant of this people as
I
did
in
the
past
, ”
declares
the
LORD
of Hosts.
And
now ,
not as
`in'
the former
days
`am'
I
to
the
remnant of this people, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts.
“For
the seed
will
be
prosperous
, the vine will
yield
its
fruit, the ground
will
yield
its
produce
, and the skies
will
give their dew .
To
the remnant of this people I
will
give
all these things
as
an
inheritance
.
Because
of
the sowing
of
peace
, The vine doth
give
her
fruit, And
the earth
doth
give
her
increase
, And the heavens
do
give their dew ,
And
I
have
caused
the remnant of this people To
inherit
all these.
As you
have been a curse
among the
nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will
save you, and you
will
be
a blessing .
Do not be
afraid;
let your hands be strong. ”
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
As ye
have been a reviling
among nations, O house of Judah ,
and house of Israel, So I save you, and ye
have
been
a blessing ,
Do not fear,
let your hands be strong.
For this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says:
“Just
as I resolved
to bring
disaster
upon
you when your fathers provoked
Me to
anger
, and I did not relent,”
says
the
LORD
of
Hosts
,
For ,
thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
As I did
purpose
to do
evil
to
you ,
When your fathers made
Me wroth
, Said
Jehovah
of
Hosts,
and I did not repent
,
“
so now
I have resolved
to do good again
to
Jerusalem and Judah .
Do
not be
afraid.
So I have turned
back,
I
have
purposed,
in
these
days,
To do good with
Jerusalem ,
And with
the
house
of
Judah --
fear
not !
These are the things you
must
do: Speak truth to
one
another
, render
true
and sound
judgments
in your gates,
These `
are '
the things that
ye
do: Speak ye
truth each
with
his
neighbour
, Truth
and peaceful
judgment
judge
in your gates,
do not plot
evil
in your hearts
against
your
neighbor
, and do not love to
swear
falsely
, for I
hate
all these things, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
And
each
the
evil
of
his
neighbour
ye
do not devise
in your heart
, And a
false
oath
ye
do not love, For all these `are'
things that
I
have
hated
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
Then
the
word of the
LORD
of Hosts came
to
me, saying ,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
of Hosts unto
me, saying :
“This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: The fasts
of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth months will
become
times
of joy and gladness
, cheerful
feasts
for the house
of
Judah.
Therefore
you
are
to
love
both
truth and peace. ”
`Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: The fast
of the fourth, and
the fast
of
the
fifth, and
the fast
of
the
seventh, and the fast
of
the
tenth `
months ',
are
to
the
house
of Judah
for
joy and for
rejoicing
, and
for pleasant
appointed
seasons,
and
the truth and the
peace they
have
loved
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “Peoples
will
yet come —the
residents
of many cities —
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Yet come do
peoples,
and
inhabitants
of many cities ,
and
the
residents
of one city
will
go
to another, saying: ‘Let
us
go at
once
to plead
before
the LORD
and
to seek the
LORD
of Hosts .
I myself
am
going
. ’
Yea,
gone
have
inhabitants
of one To another, saying: We
go diligently,
To appease
the face
of
Jehovah,
To seek Jehovah
of Hosts --
I go,
even
I
.
And
many peoples and strong
nations will
come
to seek the
LORD
of Hosts in Jerusalem and to plead
before
the LORD
. ”
Yea,
come
in
have
many peoples ,
and mighty
nations ,
To seek Jehovah
of Hosts in Jerusalem ,
And to appease
the face
of
Jehovah
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “
In those days ten men from
the nations of
every
tongue
will
tightly
grasp
the robe
of a Jew, saying ,
‘Let
us
go with you, for we have
heard that
God is with you .’”
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: In those days take
hold
do
ten men of
all
languages
of
the nations ,
Yea,
they
have
taken
hold
on
the skirt
of a man,
a
Jew, saying :
We
go with you, for we heard God `
is '
with you !
