Zaharija 2
1 Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: čovjek, a u ruci mu mjeračko uže.
I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Upitah ga: “Kamo ideš?” Odgovori mi: “Da izmjerim Jeruzalem i da vidim koliko je širok a koliko dug.”
Then said I, Where go you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 I gle, anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom stajaše nepomično, a drugi mu iziđe u susret
And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 i reče mu: “Trči, reci onome mladiću ovako: Jeruzalem će biti kao otvoren grad radi mnoštva ljudi i stoke koji će biti u njemu.
And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5 A ja ću mu - riječ je Jahvina - biti ognjen zid unaokolo i Slava njegova sred njega.”
For I, says the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the middle of her.
6 “Hej! Hej! Bježite iz zemlje sjeverne” - riječ je Jahvina - “jer u sva četiri vjetra nebeska razasuo sam vas” - riječ je Jahvina!
Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, says the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, said the LORD.
7 “Hej, Sione, koji živiš kod kćeri babilonske, spasi se!”
Deliver yourself, O Zion, that dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
8 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, čija me Slava izaslala k narodima koji su vas opljačkali: “Tko vas dira, dira mi zjenicu oka.
For thus says the LORD of hosts; After the glory has he sent me to the nations which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9 Gle, ruku dižem na njih da plijenom budu svojim robovima.” Znat ćete tako da me posla Jahve nad Vojskama!
For, behold, I will shake my hand on them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
10 “Kliči i raduj se, kćeri sionska, jer evo, dolazim usred tebe prebivat' - riječ je Jahvina.
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, see, I come, and I will dwell in the middle of you, says the LORD.
11 U onaj dan mnogi će narodi uz Jahvu prionuti i bit će narod moj, a ja ću prebivati usred tebe.” Znat ćeš tako da me tebi posla Jahve nad Vojskama.
And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the middle of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
12 I Judeja će biti baština Jahvina, njegov dio u Svetoj zemlji, i on će opet izabrati Jeruzalem.
And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 Tiho, ljudi svi, pred Jahvom, jer, evo, on ustaje iz svetoga Prebivališta svojega!
Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
