Zechariah 12 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 Palabra del Señor acerca de Israel. El Señor, que extiende los cielos, pone los cimientos de la tierra y forma el espíritu del ser humano en su interior, dice:
1 A revelation of Yahweh’s word concerning Israel: Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:
2 «Haré de Jerusalén una copa que llena de miedo a todos los pueblos de alrededor, cuando la ciudad sea sitiada.
2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
3 En ese día haré de Jerusalén una piedra muy pesada para todos los pueblos. Todos los que la levanten quedarán gravemente heridos, y todas las naciones de la tierra se reunirán contra ella.
3 It will happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
4 En ese día, dice el Señor, llenaré de miedo a todos los caballos y haré enloquecer a sus jinetes. Mantendré mis ojos abiertos sobre el pueblo de Judá y dejaré ciegos a todos los caballos de los pueblos.
4 In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness. I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
5 Las familias de Judá pensarán: Los habitantes de Jerusalén tienen su fuerza en el Señor de los ejércitos, su Dios.
5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Yahweh of Armies their God.’
6 En ese día haré que las familias de Judá sean como una olla llena de fuego entre los árboles y como un palo encendido entre el grano cortado. Destruirán a todos los pueblos de alrededor, a derecha e izquierda. Jerusalén volverá a estar habitada en el lugar que le pertenece, en Jerusalén.
6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 El Señor salvará primero las tiendas de Judá, para que la gloria de la familia de David y de los habitantes de Jerusalén no sea mayor que la de Judá.
7 Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
8 En ese día el Señor protegerá a los habitantes de Jerusalén. El más débil de ellos será tan fuerte como David, y la familia de David será como Dios, como el ángel del Señor que va delante de ellos.
8 In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like Yahweh’s angel before them.
9 En ese día me ocuparé de destruir a todas las naciones que ataquen Jerusalén.
9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 Derramaré sobre la familia de David y sobre los habitantes de Jerusalén el espíritu de gracia y de oración. Mirarán al que hirieron con sus propias manos y llorarán por él como por un hijo único. Su dolor será amargo, como el de quien llora por su hijo mayor.
10 I will pour on David’s house and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. They will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for his firstborn.
11 En ese día habrá un gran llanto en Jerusalén, como el llanto de Hadad-rimón en el valle de Meguido.
11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
12 La tierra entera llorará, cada familia por separado: los de la familia de David por un lado y sus esposas por otro; los de la familia de Natán por un lado y sus esposas por otro;
12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 los de la familia de Leví por un lado y sus esposas por otro; los de la familia de Simei por un lado y sus esposas por otro;
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
14 todas las demás familias por separado, y sus esposas también por separado.
14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and mercy; and they shall look upon me because they have insulted me, and they shall mourn for Him as for one very dear, and shall be in bitterness as for an only-begotten." To whom but to God does it belong to destroy all the nations that are …
