1 В четвертый год царя Дария было слово Господне к Захарии, в четвертый день девятого месяца, Хаслева,
1 In the fourth year of King Darius, Yahweh’s word came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
2 когда Вефиль послал Сарецера и Регем-Мелеха и спутников его помолиться пред лицем Господа
2 The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech and their men to entreat Yahweh’s favor,
3 и спросить у священников, которые в доме Господа Саваофа, и у пророков, говоря: "плакать ли мне в пятый месяц и поститься, как я делал это уже много лет?"
3 and to speak to the priests of the house of Yahweh of Armies and to the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?”
4 И было ко мне слово Господа Саваофа:
4 Then the word of Yahweh of Armies came to me, saying,
5 скажи всему народу земли сей и священникам так: когда вы постились и плакали в пятом и седьмом месяце, притом уже семьдесят лет, для Меня ли вы постились? для Меня ли?
5 “Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?
6 И когда вы едите и когда пьете, не для себя ли вы едите, не для себя ли вы пьете?
6 When you eat and when you drink, don’t you eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves?
7 Не те же ли слова провозглашал Господь через прежних пророков, когда еще Иерусалим был населен и покоен, и города вокруг него, южная страна и низменность, были населены?
7 Aren’t these the words which Yahweh proclaimed by the former prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?’”
8 И было слово Господне к Захарии:
8 Yahweh’s word came to Zechariah, saying,
9 так говорил тогда Господь Саваоф: производите суд справедливый и оказывайте милость и сострадание каждый брату своему;
9 “Thus has Yahweh of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.
10 вдовы и сироты, пришельца и бедного не притесняйте и зла друг против друга не мыслите в сердце вашем.
10 Don’t oppress the widow, the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’
11 Но они не хотели внимать, отворотились от Меня, и уши свои отяготили, чтобы не слышать.
11 But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
12 И сердце свое окаменили, чтобы не слышать закона и слов, которые посылал Господь Саваоф Духом Своим через прежних пророков; за то и постиг их великий гнев Господа Саваофа.
12 Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law and the words which Yahweh of Armies had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of Armies.
13 И было: как Он взывал, а они не слушали, так и они взывали, а Я не слушал, говорит Господь Саваоф.
13 It has come to pass that, as he called and they refused to listen, so they will call and I will not listen,” said Yahweh of Armies;
14 И Я развеял их по всем народам, которых они не знали, и земля сия опустела после них, так что никто не ходил по ней ни взад, ни вперед, и они сделали вожделенную страну пустынею.
14 “but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate.”

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).
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, …
