Zechariah 7 Free Bible Version (Spanish)
1 El Señor envió un mensaje a Zacarías, en el cuarto día del novena mes, el mes de Quisleu. Esto fue durante el cuarto año del reinado de Darío.
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 Bethel-Sarezer envió a Regem-Melec y a sus hombres para pedir la bendición del Señor.
2 The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech and their men to entreat Yahweh’s favor,
3 Fueron a preguntar a los sacerdotes del Templo del Dios Todopoderoso y a los profetas: “¿Debo seguir de luto y ayuno en el quinto mes como lo he hecho por muchos años?”
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 Entonces el Señor Todopoderoso me envió un mensaje, diciendo:
4 Then the word of Yahweh of Armies came to me, saying,
5 Dile a todos en la nación y a los sacerdotes: Cuando ayunaban y guardaban luto en el quinto y el séptimo mes durante estos setenta años, ¿lo hacían por mi?
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 Y cuando comen y beben, ¿acaso no lo hacen para ustedes mismos?
6 When you eat and when you drink, don’t you eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves?
7 ¿No es esto lo que el Señor les dijo a través de los profetas anteriores, cuando Jerusalén era próspera y deshabitada, y cuando el pueblo vivía en el Neguev y la Sefelá?
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 El Señor Todopoderoso me envió otro mensaje.
8 Yahweh’s word came to Zechariah, saying,
9 Esto es lo que el Señor dice: Juzguen con justicia y verdad. Tengan misericordia y bondad unos por otros.
9 “Thus has Yahweh of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.
10 No exploten a las viudas ni a los huérfanos, tampoco a los extranjeros ni a los pobres. No hagan planes sorbre cómo hacerse daño unos a otros.
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 Pero ellos se negaron a oír. Fueron obstinados, dieron la espalda y cerraron sus oídos.
11 But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
12 Endurecieron sus corazones como piedras. Se negaron a oír la ley o lo que el Señor Todopoderoso les decía por medio de su Espíritu a través de los profetas anteriores. Por eso el Señor Todopoderoso se enojó con ellos.
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 Así que como no me oyeron cuando los llamé, yo no escucharé cuando me llamen ellos, dice el Señor Todopoderoso.
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 Con los vientos de una tormenta yo dispersé a las naciones donde vivían como extranjeros. La tierra que abandonaron se volvió tan desolada que ni siquiera los viajeros pasaban por ella. Convirtieron la Tierra Prometida en un desierto.
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.”

“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, …
