Zechariah 8 Free Bible Version (Spanish)
1 Entonces el Señor Todopoderoso me envió otro mensaje.
1 The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
2 Esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso: Soy celoso y protector del pueblo de Sión. Soy apasionado por ellos en gran manera.
2 Yahweh of Armies says: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
3 Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Yo le regresado a Sión, y viviré en Jerusalén. Entonces a Jerusalén se le llamará la “Ciudad Fiel”, y a la montaña del Señor Todopoderoso se le llamará el “Santo Monte”.
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 Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Los ancianos podrán sentarse nuevamente en las calles de Jerusalén, cada uno con sus bastones que usan por su edad.
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 Las calles estarán llenas de niños y niñas jugando felices.
5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”
6 Esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso: Ahora parece demasiado bueno para ser cierto para ustedes, mi pueblo remanente de estos días. ¿Pero acaso es imposible para mi? pregunta e Señor Todopoderoso.
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 Esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso: Yo salvaré a mi pueblo de las naciones del este y del oeste.
7 Yahweh of Armies says: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country.
8 Los traeré de regreso y vivirán en Jerusalén, y serán mi pueblo y yo seré y Dios fiel y verdadero.
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 Esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso: Sean fuertes para que el Templo sea terminado. Todos los que hoy están aquí, están oyendo las mismas palabras de los profetas que estuvieron presentes en el día que se fundó y se estableció el Templo del Señor Todopoderoso.
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 Antes de ese tiempo no había suficiente comida para la gente o los animales. Nadie podía vivir con normalidad porque no estaban seguros de sus enemigos, y yo puse a todos los unos contra 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 no trataré más a mi remanente como los traté antes, declara 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 Ellos segarán en paz. La vid producirá sus uvas; el suelo dará cosecha y los cielos enviarán el agua sobre ellos. Me aseguraré de que esto suceda con el remanente de este pueblo.
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 Al pueblo de Judá e Israel: Así como fueron considerados como una maldición entre las naciones, yo los salvaré y se convertirán en una bendición. ¡No tengan miedo! ¡Sean fuertes!
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 Porque esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso: Yo decidí traer desastre sobre ustedes cuando sus antiguos padres provocaron mi ira y no cambié mi parecer.
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 lo he decidido, y hare bien a Jerusalén y al pueblo de Judá. ¡No tengan miedo!
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 deben hacer: Díganse la verdad los unos a los otros. En sus cortes juzguen honestamente y con la verdad, para lograr la paz.
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 hagan planes sobre cómo hacer el mal contra otros. Dejen de amar el engaño. Yo lo aborrezco, declara 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 El Señor Todopoderoso me dio otro mensaje.
18 The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
19 Esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso: Los ayunos que hacen el cuarto, quinto, séptimo y décimo mes serán tiempos de alegría y regocijo para el pueblo de Judá. Y habrá fiestas de celebración. Pero amen la verdad y la paz.
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 Esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso: Las gentes vendrán a Jerusalén de muchas naciones y cuidades,
20 Yahweh of Armies says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come.
21 e irán de una ciudad a otra diciendo: “Permítannos buscar al Señor y pedir la bendición del Señor Todopoderoso. ¡Yo mismo iré!”
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 Y mucha gente y naciones poderosas vendrán a Jerusalén para pedir la bendición del Señor Todopoderoso y buscar al Señor.
22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.”
23 Esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso: En ese tiempo diez hombres de diferentes naciones e idiomas sujetarán el dobladillo de la capa de un hombre judío y rogarán: “Por favor, llévanos contigo, porque hemos escuchado que Dios está contigo”.
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, …
