Zaccaria 13

Studie

   

1 In quel giorno vi sarà una fonte aperta alla casa di Davide, ed agli abitanti di Gerusalemme, per lo peccato, e per l’immondizia.

2 Ed avverrà in quel giorno, dice il Signor degli eserciti, che io sterminerò i nomi degl’idoli dal paese, ed essi non saran più ricordati; ed ancora torrò via dal paese i profeti, e lo spirito immondo.

3 E avverrà che quando alcuno profetizzerà ancora, suo padre, e sua madre, che l’avran generato, gli diranno: Tu non viverai; conciossiachè tu abbi proferita menzogna nel Nome del Signore; e suo padre, e sua madre, che l’avran generato, lo trafiggeranno, mentre egli profetizzerà.

4 Ed avverrà in quel giorno, che i profeti saran confusi, ciascuno della visione ch’egli avrà proposta, quando egli profetizzava; e non si vestiranno più d’ammanto velloso, per mentire.

5 E ciascun di loro dirà: Io non son profeta, io son lavorator di terra; perciocchè altri mi ha fatto andar dietro al bestiame fin dalla mia giovanezza.

6 E gli si dirà: Che voglion dire quelle ferite, che tu hai in mezzo delle mani? Ed egli dirà: Son quelle che mi sono state date nella casa de’ miei amici.

7 O SPADA, destati contro al mio Pastore, contro all’uomo che è mio prossimo, dice il Signor degli eserciti; percuoti il Pastore, e le pecore saran disperse; ma pure io volgerò la mia mano sopra i piccoli.

8 Ed avverrà in tutta la terra, dice il Signore, che le due parti ne saranno sterminate, e morranno; e la terza dimorerà sol di resto in esse.

9 E ancora metterò quella terza nel fuoco, e nel cimento, come si mette l’argento; e li proverò, come si prova l’oro; essi invocheranno il mio Nome, ed io risponderò loro, e dirò: Essi sono mio popolo; e ciascun di loro dirà: Il Signore è l’Iddio mio.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

59. 31. I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it. Jehovah of Hosts shall yet choose Jerusalem (Zechariah 1:16-17).

I saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. He said, I go to measure Jerusalem to see what is the breadth thereof and what is the length thereof. For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto Jerusalem a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. Jehovah shall choose Jerusalem again (Zechariah 2:1-12).

Jehovah chooseth Jerusalem; is not this a brand snatched from the fire (Zechariah 3:2)?

Jehovah said, I will remove the iniquity of the land in one day. In that day shall ye call, a man to his neighbor, under the vine and under the fig tree (Zechariah 3:9-10).

Thus said Jehovah; I will return to Zion and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; therefore Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth, and the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts the mountain of holiness. The streets of the city shall yet be filled with boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. I will bring them that they may dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, that they may be My people, and I may be their God, in truth and justice. Thus many people shall come to seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, to entreat the faces of Jehovah (Zechariah 8:2-5, 8, 12, 15, 20-22).

In that day all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against Jerusalem. In that day shall Jehovah protect the inhabitant of Jerusalem. The house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them. In that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. But I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayers, that they may look upon Me whom they pierced (Zechariah 12:3, 8-10).

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. In that day I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and I will cause the unclean spirit to pass out of the land (Zechariah 13:1-2).

It shall be one day which is known unto Jehovah, not day nor night; for about evening time it shall be light. And it shall be in that day that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, in summer and in winter. And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and His name one. There shall be no more curse upon the earth, but Jerusalem shall dwell securely (Zechariah 14:6-9, 11). In that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of Jehovah (verse 21).

(All the gates of Zion are devastated (Lamentations 1:4). Jehovah hath turned me back; He laid me waste (verse 13). My sons are devastated (verse 16). Devastation and breaking are come upon us (Lamentations 3:47).

Thine iniquity is consummated, He will visit thine iniquity. He will manifest thy sins (Lamentations 4:22).
