Zaharija 12
1 Proroštvo. Besjeda Jahvina o Izraelu. Govori Jahve koji razape nebesa, utemelji zemlju i stvori dah čovjeku u grudima:
[This is] a message from Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh is the one who stretched out the sky, who created the earth, and who (gave life to humans/caused humans to be alive). This is what he says:
2 “Evo, učinit ću Jeruzalem čašom opojnom svim narodima uokolo - za opsade Jeruzalema.
“I will soon cause Jerusalem to be [like] [MET] a cup full [of very strong alcoholic drink], and the people of other nations who drink it will stagger around. And they will come and attack Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah.
3 U onaj dan učinit ću Jeruzalem teškim kamenom svim narodima: svi koji ga budu dizali teško će se izraniti, a skupit će se na nj svi narodi zemlje.
At that time, [the armies of] all the nations will gather to attack Jerusalem, but I will cause [the leaders of] Judah to be [like] [SIM] a very heavy rock, and all who [try to] lift it will be badly injured.
4 U onaj dan - riječ je Jahvina - udarit ću sve konje strahom, a njine jahače mahnitošću. Ali nad domom Judinim otvorit ću oči, a sljepilom ću udariti sve konje narodÄa.
At that time I will cause every [one of their enemies’] horses to panic, and their riders to become crazy. I [IDM] will protect the people of Judah, but I will cause all their enemies’ horses to become blind.
5 Tada će u srcu reći plemena Judina: 'Snaga je Jeruzalemaca u Jahvi nad Vojskama, Bogu njihovu!'
Then the leaders of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people in Jerusalem are strong because the Commander of the armies of angels is their God.’
6 U onaj dan učinit ću da plemena Judina budu kao žeravnica užarena na drvlju, kao baklja upaljena na snoplju: i proždirat će zdesna i slijeva sve narode uokolo. A Jeruzalem će i dalje stajati na svome mjestu.”
At that time I will enable the leaders of Judah to be like [SIM] a pan containing hot coals [that is put] in a woodpile [to set it on fire], or like [SIM] a burning torch [that is put] in a [field of] ripe grain [to set it on fire]. The leaders of Judah [and their army] will destroy the people of the surrounding nations in all directions. But [the people of] Jerusalem will remain safe.
7 Jahve će najprije spasiti Judine šatore da se ponos doma Davidova i ponos Jeruzalemaca ne izdigne iznad Jude.
And [I], Yahweh, will protect the tents of [the soldiers in other places in] Judah before [I rescue the people of Jerusalem], in order that the leaders of Jerusalem [DOU] will not be honored more than [the people in other places in] Judah [are honored].
8 U onaj dan Jahve će zakriliti Jeruzalemce: najsustaliji među njima bit će u onaj dan kao David, a dom Davidov bit će kao božanstvo, kao Anđeo Jahvin pred njima.
At that time, I will protect [MET] the people of Jerusalem. When that happens, even the weakest people in Jerusalem will be [strong] like [King] David [was]. And the descendants [MTY] of David will [rule the people] like I [would], as though an angel sent from [me], Yahweh, was their leader.
9 “U onaj dan pregnut ću da uništim sve narode koji dođu na Jeruzalem.
At that time, I will prepare to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
10 A na dom Davidov i na Jeruzalemce izlit ću duh milosni i molitveni. I gledat će na onoga koga su proboli; naricat će nad njim kao nad jedincem, gorko ga oplakivati kao prvenca.
“I, [Yahweh, ] will cause the descendants [MTY] of [King] David to act very kindly and mercifully. They will look at me, [the one] who has been stabbed, and they will cry bitterly, like people cry for a firstborn son [who has died] [DOU].
11 U onaj dan plač velik će nastati u Jeruzalemu, poput plača hadad-rimonskog u ravnici megidonskoj.
At that time, many people in Jerusalem will be crying bitterly, like people cried [when King Josiah was killed in the battle] at Hadad-Rimmon on the Megiddo Plain.
12 I plakat će zemlja, svaka porodica napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica doma Davidova napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica doma Natanova napose, i žene njihove napose;
Many people in Judah will cry, each family by themselves: the male descendants of David by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [David’s son] Nathan by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
13 porodica doma Levijeva napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica Šimejeva napose, i žene njihove napose;
the male descendants [MTY] of Levi by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [Levi’s grandson] Shimei by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
14 i sve ostale porodice, svaka porodica za sebe, i žene njihove napose.
and all the other members [of the kings’ clans and the priests’ clans] by themselves, and their wives by themselves.”
