Zaharija 2
1 Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: čovjek, a u ruci mu mjeračko uže.
Then I looked up and saw 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.”
I said, ‘Where are you going?’ He replied, ‘To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and length.’
3 I gle, anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom stajaše nepomično, a drugi mu iziđe u susret
Then the messenger who talked with me stepped forward, and another messenger 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 and tell to that young man that Jerusalem will be inhabited like a village without walls, because so many people and cattle will live there.
5 A ja ću mu - riječ je Jahvina - biti ognjen zid unaokolo i Slava njegova sred njega.”
For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire her, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 “Hej! Hej! Bježite iz zemlje sjeverne” - riječ je Jahvina - “jer u sva četiri vjetra nebeska razasuo sam vas” - riječ je Jahvina!
Up! Away! Flee from the land of the north, says the Lord. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says the Lord.
7 “Hej, Sione, koji živiš kod kćeri babilonske, spasi se!”
Up, escape to Zion, you who live in Babylon.
8 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, čija me Slava izaslala k narodima koji su vas opljačkali: “Tko vas dira, dira mi zjenicu oka.
This is what the Lord of hosts says to the nations which plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye.
9 Gle, ruku dižem na njih da plijenom budu svojim robovima.” Znat ćete tako da me posla Jahve nad Vojskama!
I will raise my hand against them. They will be plunder for their own slaves; and you will 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, daughter of Zion! I am coming, I will live among 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.
Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day, and will be his people, and he will live among you. You will 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.
The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land. He will again choose Jerusalem.
13 Tiho, ljudi svi, pred Jahvom, jer, evo, on ustaje iz svetoga Prebivališta svojega!
Be silent, everyone, in the presence of the Lord, because he is coming from his holy dwelling.’
