Zaharija 7
1 Četvrte godine kralja Darija, četvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca, Kisleva, dođe riječ Jahvina Zahariji.
And it was in year four of Darius the king it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah on [day] four of the month ninth in Kislev.
2 Betel je naime poslao Sar-Esera i Regem-Meleka s njihovim ljudima da mole lice Jahvino
And it had sent Beth-el Shar-ezer and Regem-Melech and men his to entreat [the] face of Yahweh.
3 i da pitaju svećenike u Domu Jahve nad Vojskama i proroke: “Hoćemo li plakati petoga mjeseca i postiti, kao što činimo već tolike godine?”
To say to the priests who [belonged] to [the] house of Yahweh of hosts and to the prophets saying ¿ will I weep in the month fifth will I consecrate myself? just as I have done this how many? years.
4 Tada mi dođe riječ Jahve nad Vojskama: “Reci svemu puku zemlje i svećenicima:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh of hosts to me saying.
5 'Kad postite i naričete petoga i sedmoga mjeseca već sedamdeset godina, zar meni postite?
Say to all [the] people of the land and to the priests saying that you fasted and you mourned in the fifth [month] and in the seventh [month] and this seventy year[s] ¿ really did you fast for me me.
6 A kad jedete i pijete, zar sebi ne jedete i pijete?
And if you eat and if you drink ¿ not [are] you the [ones who] eat and [are] you? the [ones who] drink.
7 Nisu li to propisi koje je Jahve objavio preko negdašnjih proroka kada Jeruzalem bijaše naseljen i miran kao i gradovi oko njega i kada bijaše napučen Negeb i Šefela?'”
¿ Not [are] the words which he proclaimed Yahweh by [the] hand of the prophets former when was Jerusalem remaining and at ease and cities its around it and the Negev and the Shephelah [was] remaining.
8 Riječ Jahvina dođe Zahariji:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah saying.
9 “Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Sudite istinito i budite dobrostivi i milosrdni jedni drugima.
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts saying justice of faithfulness judge and loyalty and compassion do each with brother his.
10 Ne tlačite udovu ni sirotu, ni došljaka ni uboga, i ne snujte u srcu pakosti jedan prema drugom.'
And [the] widow and [the] fatherless [the] sojourner and [the] poor may not you oppress and [the] harm of each brother his may not you plan in heart your.
11 Ali oni ne htjedoše poslušati, već prkosno okrenuše leđa; zatisnuše uši da ne bi čuli;
And they refused to pay attention and they gave a shoulder stubborn and ears their they made heavy from hearing.
12 otvrdnuše srcem kao kremen, da ne bi čuli Zakon i riječi koje im je slao Jahve nad Vojskama, svojim duhom, preko drevnih proroka. I Jahve nad Vojskama silno se tad razgnjevi.
And heart their they made flint from hearing the law and the words which he had sent Yahweh of hosts by spirit his by [the] hand of the prophets former and it was wrath great from with Yahweh of hosts.
13 I zato, kao što je on zvao a oni ga ne slušaše, tako su sad oni zvali a ja ih nisam slušao - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
And it was just as he called and not they listened so they called and not I listened he says Yahweh of hosts.
14 I razmeo sam ih među sve narode kojih ne poznavahu, a zemlja iza njih bi opustošena, te nitko nije njome prolazio niti se vraćao. Tako su zemlju blagostanja obratili u pustoš!”
And I will storm away them to all the nations which not they have known them and the land it was desolate behind them from [one who] passes by and from [one who] returns and they made a land of desire into a waste.
