1 Volví a recibir un mensaje del Señor Todopoderoso.
1 The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
2 El Señor Todopoderoso dice: «Es tanto mi amor por Jerusalén, que hasta siento celos por ella, sí, unos celos que me llenan de ira contra sus enemigos.
2 Yahweh of Armies says: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
3 Ahora voy a regresar a mi tierra y habitaré en Jerusalén, y Jerusalén será conocida como “Ciudad Fiel”, y Sion será llamado “Monte Santo”».
3 Yahweh says: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of Yahweh of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’”
4 El Señor Todopoderoso declara: «En las calles de Jerusalén se volverán a sentar los ancianos y las ancianas, andarán apoyados en su bastón, debido a su avanzada edad. Sí, sus habitantes vivirán de nuevo muchos años.
4 Yahweh of Armies says: “Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand because of their old age.
5 De nuevo, los niños y las niñas de la ciudad jugarán confiados en sus calles».
5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”
6 El Señor Todopoderoso dice: «Esto parece increíble para ustedes que son un resto pequeño y desalentado, pero no es una cosa difícil para mí.
6 Yahweh of Armies says: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?” says Yahweh of Armies.
7 Pueden estar seguros de que yo rescataré a mi pueblo desde el oriente hasta el occidente, de dondequiera que hayan sido llevados cautivos.
7 Yahweh of Armies says: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country.
8 Yo los haré volver a su casa nuevamente, y ellos vivirán tranquilos en Jerusalén, y serán mi pueblo, y yo seré su Dios, un Dios justo y fiel».
8 I will bring them, and they will dwell within Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”
9 El Señor Todopoderoso dice: «A ustedes que han escuchado los mensajes de los profetas, desde el momento en que se comenzaron a echar los cimientos del templo del Señor Todopoderoso, les digo: ¡Anímense y pónganse a trabajar!
9 Yahweh of Armies says: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Yahweh of Armies was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
10 Recuerden que anteriormente no se les pagaba ningún salario, ni a los animales se les daba su alimento. Nadie podía viajar tranquilo de un lado a otro, debido al enemigo. Yo mismo hice que los habitantes del país estuvieran enemistados unos con otros.
10 For before those days there was no wages for man nor any wages for an animal, neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.
11 »Pero ahora todo es diferente con ustedes, que son el pequeño grupo de los que han superado el exilio, dice el Señor Todopoderoso.
11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says Yahweh of Armies.
12 Yo estoy poniendo las bases para que ustedes gocen de paz y prosperidad. Sus cosechas serán abundantes, los viñedos estarán sobrecargados de uvas, la tierra será fecunda y habrá abundancia de lluvia para sus cosechas. Todas estas bendiciones serán dadas al pequeño grupo del pueblo que quedó en la tierra después del exilio.
12 “For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew. I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
13 Ustedes, habitantes de Judá e Israel, han sido perseguidos y maltratados por los pueblos vecinos; pero yo voy a defenderlos de aquí en adelante, y serán llenados de cosas buenas por mí. ¡Sigan adelante con entusiasmo en la reconstrucción del templo!
13 It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”
14 Si lo hacen, ciertamente los llenaré de cosas buenas. No cambiaré de parecer. Cuando me enojé contra sus antepasados y prometí que los castigaría, los castigué;
14 For Yahweh of Armies says: “As I thought to do evil to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I didn’t repent,
15 pero ahora no cambiaré mi determinación de hacerles mucho bien y darles todo lo que necesitan. No tengan temor por nada.
15 so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
16 »Esto es lo que tienen que hacer: Digan siempre la verdad. Juzguen de manera justa y de acuerdo a la verdad de los hechos. Vivan en paz con todos.
16 These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,
17 No piensen en causar daño a su prójimo; no juren que algo es verdadero, cuando es falso. Todo este tipo de cosas yo las repruebo, dice el Señor».
17 and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath; for all these are things that I hate,” says Yahweh.
18 Este es otro mensaje que recibí del Señor Todopoderoso:
18 The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
19 «Los ayunos y los otros rituales tradicionales de los meses cuarto, quinto, séptimo y décimo ya no serán expresión de constricción sino de alegría y festejo; serán días de fiesta y de gozo para todo el pueblo. Me interesa más que amen la paz y la verdad.
19 Yahweh of Armies says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”
20 »Gente de diversos pueblos y ciudades vendrán a ustedes,
20 Yahweh of Armies says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come.
21 e irán de una ciudad a otra gritando: “¡Vamos a Jerusalén a pedir que el Señor nos bendiga también a nosotros! ¡Vamos a rendir homenaje al Señor Todopoderoso! ¡Ya estoy listo para partir!”.
21 The inhabitants of one will go to another, saying, ‘Let’s go speedily to entreat the favor of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of Armies. I will go also.’
22 Sí, gente de muchos pueblos, aun naciones poderosas, vendrán a Jerusalén para rendir homenaje al Señor Todopoderoso e implorar su bendición.
22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.”
23 »En aquellos días», dice el Señor Todopoderoso, «sucederá que diez habitantes de diversas naciones agarrarán a un judío por su manto, y le dirán: “¡Por favor, permítenos ir contigo a Jerusalén! ¡Sabemos que Dios está con ustedes!”».
23 Yahweh of Armies says: “In those days, ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”

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).
… ye the truth every man to his neighbour, and execute peaceful judgment in your gates, and let none of you imagine evil in his heart against his brother, and ye shall not love false swearing: for all these things I hate, saith the Lord Almighty." Moreover, David also says in like manner: "What man is there who desireth life, and …
Wash you, make you clean, put away evil from your hearts, learn to do well, seek judgment, protect the oppressed, judge the fatherless (pupillo), plead for the widow; and come, let us reason together, saith the Lord." And again: "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips that they speak no guile; depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, …
