1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying, ZECHARIAH. PART 1 (Zch.1-8. 520-518bce). The LORD calls his people to repentance. Zch.1.1-6בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁמִינִי בִּשְׁנַת שְׁתַּיִם לְדָרְיָוֶשׁ הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־זְכַרְיָה בֶּן־בֶּרֶכְיָה בֶּן־עִדֹּו הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר׃
2 "Yahweh was very angry with your fathers.  קָצַף יְהוָה עַל־אֲבֹותֵיכֶם קָצֶף׃
3 Therefore say to them, Thus says Yahweh of hosts: Return to me, says Yahweh of hosts, and I will return to you, says Yahweh of hosts.  וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות שׁוּבוּ אֵלַי נְאֻם יְהוָה צְבָאֹות וְאָשׁוּב אֲלֵיכֶם אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות׃
4 Be not like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, 'Thus says Yahweh of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.' But they did not hear or heed me, says Yahweh.  אַל־תִּהְיוּ כַאֲבֹתֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר קָרְאוּ־אֲלֵיהֶם הַנְּבִיאִים הָרִאשֹׁנִים לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות שׁוּבוּ נָא מִדַּרְכֵיכֶם הָרָעִים [כ= וּמַעֲלִילֵיכֶם] [ק= וּמַעַלְלֵיכֶם] הָרָעִים וְלֹא שָׁמְעוּ וְלֹא־הִקְשִׁיבוּ אֵלַי נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃
5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live for ever?  אֲבֹותֵיכֶם אַיֵּה־הֵם וְהַנְּבִאִים הַלְעֹולָם יִחְיוּ׃
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? So they repented and said, As Yahweh of hosts purposed to deal with us for our ways and deeds, so has he dealt with us."  אַךְ דְּבָרַי וְחֻקַּי אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי אֶת־עֲבָדַי הַנְּבִיאִים הֲלֹוא הִשִּׂיגוּ אֲבֹתֵיכֶם וַיָּשׁוּבוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר זָםַם יְהוָה צְבָאֹות לַעֲשֹׂות לָנוּ כִּדְרָכֵינוּ וּכְמַעֲלָלֵינוּ כֵּן עָשָׂה אִתָּנוּ׃ ס
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet; and Zechariah said, The vision of the horses. Zch.1.7-17בְּיֹום עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבָּעָה לְעַשְׁתֵּי־עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ הוּא־חֹדֶשׁ שְׁבָט בִּשְׁנַת שְׁתַּיִם לְדָרְיָוֶשׁ הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־זְכַרְיָה בֶּן־בֶּרֶכְיָהוּ בֶּן־עִדֹּוא הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר׃
8 "I saw in the night, and behold, a man riding upon a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen; and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.  רָאִיתִי הַלַּיְלָה וְהִנֵּה־אִישׁ רֹכֵב עַל־סוּס אָדֹם וְהוּא עֹמֵד בֵּין הַהֲדַסִּים אֲשֶׁר בַּמְּצֻלָה וְאַחֲרָיו סוּסִים אֲדֻמִּים שְׂרֻקִּים וּלְבָנִים׃
9 Then I said, 'What are these, my lord?' The angel who talked with me said to me, 'I will show you what they are.'  וָאֹמַר מָה־אֵלֶּה אֲדֹנִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי אֲנִי אַרְאֶךָּ מָה־הֵמָּה אֵלֶּה׃
10 So the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, 'These are they whom Yahweh has sent to patrol the earth.'  וַיַּעַן הָאִישׁ הָעֹמֵד בֵּין־הַהֲדַסִּימ וַיֹּאמַר אֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח יְהוָה לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ בָּאָרֶץ׃
11 And they answered the angel of Yahweh who was standing among the myrtle trees, 'We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth remains at rest.'  וַיַּעֲנוּ אֶת־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה הָעֹמֵד בֵּין הַהֲדַסִּים וַיֹּאמְרוּ הִתְהַלַּכְנוּ בָאָרֶץ וְהִנֵּה כָל־הָאָרֶץ יֹשֶׁבֶת וְשֹׁקָטֶת׃
12 Then the angel of Yahweh said, ' O Yahweh of hosts, how long will you have no mercy on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?  וַיַּעַן מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות עַד־מָתַי אַתָּה לֹא־תְרַחֵם אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַם וְאֵת עָרֵי יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר זָעַמְתָּה זֶה שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה׃
13 And Yahweh answered gracious and comforting words to the angel who talked with me.  וַיַּעַן יְהוָה אֶת־הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי דְּבָרִים טֹובִים דְּבָרִים נִחֻמִים׃
14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, 'Cry out, Thus says Yahweh of hosts: I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion.  וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי קְרָא לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות קִנֵּאתִי לִירוּשָׁלִַם וּלְצִיֹּון קִנְאָה גְדֹולָה׃
15 And I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for while I was angry but a little they furthered the disaster.  וְקֶצֶף גָּדֹול אֲנִי קֹצֵף עַל־הַגֹּויִם הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּים אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי קָצַפְתִּי מְּעָט וְהֵמָּה עָזְרוּ לְרָעָה׃
16 Therefore, thus says Yahweh, I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion; my house shall be built in it, says Yahweh of hosts, and the measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.  לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה שַׁבְתִּי לִירוּשָׁלִַם בְּרַחֲמִים בֵּיתִי יִבָּנֶה בָּהּ נְאֻם יְהוָה צְבָאֹות [כ= וְקָוָה] [ק= וְקָו] יִנָּטֶה עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃
17 Cry again, Thus says Yahweh of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with prosperity, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.' "  עֹוד קְרָא לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות עֹוד תְּפוּצֶינָה עָרַי מִטֹּוב וְנִחַם יְהוָה עֹוד אֶת־צִיֹּון וּבָחַר עֹוד בִּירוּשָׁלִָם׃ ס
18 And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four horns! The vision of the horns. Zch.1.18-21וָאֶשָּׂא אֶת־עֵינַי וָאֵרֶא וְהִנֵּה אַרְבַּע קְרָנֹות׃
19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" And he answered me, "These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."  וָאֹמַר אֶל־הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי מָה־אֵלֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי אֵלֶּה הַקְּרָנֹות אֲשֶׁר זֵרוּ אֶת־יְהוּדָה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וִירוּשָׁלִָם׃ ס
20 Then Yahweh showed me four smiths.  וַיַּרְאֵנִי יְהוָה אַרְבָּעָה חָרָשִׁים׃
21 And I said, "What are these coming to do?" He answered, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man raised his head; and these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations  וָאֹמַר מָה אֵלֶּה בָאִים לַעֲשֹׂות וַיֹּאמֶר לֵאמֹר אֵלֶּה הַקְּרָנֹות אֲשֶׁר־זֵרוּ אֶת־יְהוּדָה כְּפִי־אִישׁ לֹא־נָשָׂא רֹאשֹׁו וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלֶּה לְהַחֲרִיד אֹתָם לְיַדֹּות אֶת־קַרְנֹות הַגֹּויִם הַנֹּשְׂאִים קֶרֶן אֶל־אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה לְזָרֹותָהּ׃ ס

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
