WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Este es el mensaje que el Señor, quien vigila a toda la humanidad, envía contra las ciudades de Jadrac y de Damasco, mensaje al que deben estar muy atentas todas las tribus de Israel,
1 A revelation. Yahweh’s word is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus— for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yahweh—
2 De igual manera su vecina Jamat y las naciones de Tiro y Sidón, que se sienten muy superiores debido a su cultura.
2 and Hamath, also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
3 Aunque Tiro se ha armado hasta los dientes, y se ha enriquecido, al punto que la plata ahí brilla por todas partes y tienen oro hasta para recubrir sus calles,
3 Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
4 el Señor la despojará y echará sus riquezas en el mar; luego será incendiada, quemada hasta quedar convertida en cenizas.
4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.
5 Ascalón verá todo esto y temblará de miedo; Gaza se desesperará y Ecrón estará confundido, sin saber ni siquiera qué hacer, sin esperanza. Gaza se quedará sin rey, y Ascalón se quedará vacía.
5 Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6 Extranjeros tomarán posesión de la ciudad de Asdod, y yo destruiré a los orgullosos filisteos.
6 Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 Arrancaré de un tirón la idolatría que practican como se arranca la presa de una fiera; quitaré de entre sus dientes las presas capturadas en su violencia. Pero nuestro Dios dejará algunos filisteos con vida, los cuales llegarán a ser parte de Judá y serán tratados con mucha consideración; pero los filisteos de Ecrón serán tratados como los jebuseos, con mucha dureza.
7 I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 Y cuidaré mi templo como un vigilante, para impedir que ningún enemigo entre. ¡Nunca más un enemigo atacará a mi pueblo, pues ahora yo soy su poderoso guardián!
8 I will encamp around my house against the army, that no one pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.
9 ¡Regocíjate grandemente, pueblo mío! ¡Grita de alegría, Jerusalén! ¡Tu rey viene montado sobre un burrito! ¡Es un rey justo y humilde, y viene a salvarte!
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 Destruirá los carros de guerra de Efraín y la caballería de Jerusalén. Acabará con el poderío militar de los fuertes y establecerá la paz entre las naciones. Su reino se extenderá de mar a mar, desde el río Éufrates hasta el último rincón de la tierra.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem. The battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations. His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
11 Debido al pacto que hice contigo, el cual sellé con sangre, yo libraré a tus cautivos de ese pozo seco que les servía de prisión.
11 As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
12 ¡Presos, váyanse ahora a la tierra donde está la salvación, porque aún hay esperanza! Prometo ahora darles el doble de cosas buenas por cada dolor que sufrieron.
12 Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
13 Judá, te usaré como si fueras mi arco, y a ti, Efraín, como si fueras mi flecha. Ambos serán instrumentos poderosos, como espada de soldado valiente blandida contra los hijos de Grecia.
13 For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have loaded the bow with Ephraim. I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
14 El Señor dirigirá a su pueblo en la batalla. Sus flechas serán como rayos; el Señor Dios hará sonar la trompeta dando las órdenes en la batalla, y saldrá contra los enemigos como si fuera un torbellino que viene desde el desierto del sur.
14 Yahweh will be seen over them. His arrow will flash like lightning. The Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
15 El Señor Todopoderoso defenderá a su pueblo. Por eso, ellos pisotearán, victoriosos, las armas de sus enemigos; celebrarán con gozo su victoria, beberán vino hasta embriagarse, y derramarán la sangre de sus enemigos, como la sangre de los animales sacrificados que se deposita en los tazones y luego se derrama sobre el altar.
15 Yahweh of Armies will defend them. They will destroy and overcome with sling stones. They will drink, and roar as through wine. They will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
16 Ese día, el Señor su Dios los salvará, los tratará como un pastor a sus ovejas. Y al estar de nuevo en su tierra, brillarán como piedras preciosas.
16 Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
17 ¡Todos apreciarán la bondad y hermosura de Dios! ¡La felicidad del pueblo será muy grande! ¡Qué bello será todo aquello! ¡El trigo dará vigor a sus jóvenes, y el vino dulce alegrará a las muchachas!
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

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).
The words are these: "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." Chapter XXXVI — Different modes of prophecy But when you hear the utterances of the prophets spoken as it were personally, you must not …
… behold, thy King shall come unto thee, just and the Saviour; Himself poor, and mounting an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass: and His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth." How this was done, when the Lord Christ on His journey used a beast of …

Some, again, have a prophetic sense, and of these some are in the future tense: for instance, He shall come openly, and this from Zechariah, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, and this from Micah, Behold, the Lord cometh out of His place and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
