Zaharija 1

1 Osmoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve dođe riječ Jahvina proroku Zahariji, sinu Berekjinu, sinu Idonovu.

In the eight moneth of the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto Zechariah the sonne of Berechiah, the sonne of Iddo, the Prophet, saying,

2 “Jahve se teško razgnjevio na oce vaše!

The Lord hath bene sore displeased with your fathers.

3 Zatim im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Vratite se meni, i ja ću se vratiti vama' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.

Therefore say thou vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Turne ye vnto me, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will turne vnto you, saith the Lord of hostes.

4 'Ne budite poput svojih otaca koje su pozivali negdašnji proroci.' Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Vratite se sa zlih putova svojih i od zlih djela. Ali oni nisu slušali ni pazili na mene' - govori Jahve.

Be ye not as your fathers, vnto whome the former prophets haue cried, saying, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Turne you nowe from your euill wayes, and from your wicked workes: but they would not heare, nor hearken vnto me, saith the Lord.

5 Gdje su sad oci vaši? Zar će dovijeka živjeti proroci?

your fathers, where are they? and doe the Prophets liue for euer?

6 Ali moje riječi i odredbe, koje sam naložio slugama svojim prorocima, nisu li stigle vaše oce? Oni se obratiše i priznaše: 'Jahve nad Vojskama učinio je s nama kako bijaše namislio učiniti prema našim putovima i našim djelima.'”

But did not my wordes and my statutes, which I commanded by my seruants ye Prophets, take holde of your fathers? and they returned, and sayd, As the Lord of hostes hath determined to doe vnto vs, according to our owne wayes, and according to our workes, so hath hee dealt with vs.

7 Dvadeset i četvrtog dana, jedanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Šebat, druge godine Darijeve, dođe riječ Jahvina proroku Zahariji, sinu Berekjinu, sinu Idonovu.

Vpon the foure and twentieth day of the eleuenth moneth, which is the moneth Shebat, in the second yeere of Darius, came the worde of the Lord vnto Zechariah the sonne of Berechiah, the sonne of Iddo the Prophet, saying,

8 Imao sam noću viđenje. Gle, na riđanu čovjek jaše među mirtama koje imaju duboko korijenje, a iza njega konji riđi, smeđi i bijeli.

I saw by night, and behold a man riding vpon a red horse, and hee stood among the mirre trees, that were in a bottome, and behinde him were there red horses speckeled and white.

9 Upitah: “Koji su ovi, gospodaru?” Anđeo koji je sa mnom govorio reče mi: “Ja ću ti pokazati koji su.”

Then sayd I, O my Lord, what are these? And the Angel that talked with me, sayde vnto me, I wil shew thee what these be.

10 Čovjek koji stajaše među mirtama odgovori: “Ovo su oni koje je poslao Jahve da obilaze zemlju.”

And the man that stood among the mirre trees, answered, and sayd, These are they whome the Lord hath sent to go through the world.

11 Oni se obratiše anđelu Jahvinu, koji stajaše među mirtama, i kazaše: “Obišli smo zemlju, i gle: sva zemlja počiva i miruje.”

And they answered the Angel of the Lord, that stood among the mirre trees, and sayd, We haue gone thorowe the world: and beholde, all the world sitteth still, and is at rest.

12 Tada progovori anđeo Jahvin i reče: “Jahve nad Vojskama, kada ćeš se već jednom smilovati Jeruzalemu i gradovima judejskim na koje se već sedamdeset godina ljuto srdiš?”

Then the Angel of the Lord answered and sayd, O Lord of hostes, howe long wilt thou be vnmercifull to Ierusalem, and to the cities of Iudah, with whom thou hast bene displeased now these threescore and ten yeeres?

13 A Jahve anđelu koji je govorio sa mnom odgovori utješnim riječima.

And the Lord answered the Angel that talked with me, with good wordes and comfortable wordes.

14 I anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom reče mi: “Objavi ovo: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Ljubavlju ljubomornom gorim za Jeruzalem i za Sion,

So the Angel that communed with me, said vnto me, Crie thou, and speake, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I am ielous ouer Ierusalem and Zion with a great zeale,

15 a velikim gnjevom plamtim na ohole narode, jer kad se ono malo rasrdih, oni prijeđoše mjeru.'

And am greatly angrie against the carelesse heathen: for I was angrie but a litle, and they helped forward the affliction.

16 Zato ovako govori Jahve: 'Vraćam se Jeruzalemu s milosrđem; opet će u njemu sagraditi Dom moj' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - 'i opet će se u Jeruzalemu protezati uže mjeračko.'

Therefore thus saith the Lord, I wil returne vnto Ierusalem with tender mercie: mine house shall be builded in it, saith the Lord of hostes, and a line shall be stretched vpon Ierusalem.

17 I ovo poruči: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Moji će se gradovi opet prelijevati obiljem, i Jahve će utješiti Sion, izabrati Jeruzalem.'”

Cry yet, and speake, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, My cities shall yet be broken with plentie: the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet chuse Ierusalem.

18 Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: četiri roga.

Then lift I vp mine eyes and sawe, and beholde, foure hornes.

19 Upitah anđela koji je govorio sa mnom: “Što je ovo?” On mi odgovori: “To su rogovi koji su raznijeli Judu, Izraela i Jeruzalem.”

And I said vnto the Angel that talked with me, What be these? And hee answered me, These are the hornes which haue scattered Iudah, Israel, and Ierusalem.

20 Onda mi Jahve pokaza četiri kovača.

And the Lord shewed me foure carpenters.

21 A ja upitah: “Što su došli ovi raditi?” On mi odgovori: “Ono su rogovi koji su raznijeli Judu te se nitko više ne usuđuje dići glavu; a ovi su došli da ih zastraše i da slome rogove narodima koji podizahu rog na zemlju Judinu kako bi je raznijeli.”

Then said I, What come these to doe? And he answered, and said, These are the hornes, which haue scattered Iudah, so that a man durst not lift vp his head: but these are come to fray them, and to cast out the hornes of the Gentiles, which lift vp their horne ouer the land of Iudah, to scatter it.
