Zaharija 1
1 Osmoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve dođe riječ Jahvina proroku Zahariji, sinu Berekjinu, sinu Idonovu.
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechyah, the son of 'Iddo the prophet, saying,
2 “Jahve se teško razgnjevio na oce vaše!
The Lord hath been greatly angry 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.
And [now] say thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Return ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will return unto you: so hath said the Lord of hosts.
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 like your fathers, unto whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Do return from your evil ways, and your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor listen unto me, saith the Lord.
5 Gdje su sad oci vaši? Zar će dovijeka živjeti proroci?
Your fathers, —where are they! and the prophets, — could they live for ever!
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 my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, behold, they did overtake your fathers: and [then] they returned and said, Just as the Lord of hosts had purposed to do unto us, in accordance with our ways, and in accordance with our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7 Dvadeset i četvrtog dana, jedanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Šebat, druge godine Darijeve, dođe riječ Jahvina proroku Zahariji, sinu Berekjinu, sinu Idonovu.
On the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechyahu, the son 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 this night, and behold there was a man riding upon a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle-trees that were in the deep valley; and behind him were red, pale, and white horses.
9 Upitah: “Koji su ovi, gospodaru?” Anđeo koji je sa mnom govorio reče mi: “Ja ću ti pokazati koji su.”
And I said, What are these, O my lord? Then said unto me the angel that spoke with me, I will show thee what these are.
10 Čovjek koji stajaše među mirtama odgovori: “Ovo su oni koje je poslao Jahve da obilaze zemlju.”
And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are those whom the Lord hath sent to traverse the earth.
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 myrtle-trees, and said, We have traversed the earth, and, behold, all the earth is inhabited quietly, 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 commenced the angel of the Lord, and said, O Lord of hosts, how long yet wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast been indignant these seventy years?
13 A Jahve anđelu koji je govorio sa mnom odgovori utješnim riječima.
And the Lord answered the angel that spoke with me with good words and comforting words.
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,
And the angel that spoke with me said unto me, Proclaim thou, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 a velikim gnjevom plamtim na ohole narode, jer kad se ono malo rasrdih, oni prijeđoše mjeru.'
And with a great anger will I be angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little angry [with Zion], and they helped forward the mischief.
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 hath said the Lord, I am returned to Jerusalem in mercy: my house shall be rebuilt in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and the measuring-line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
17 I ovo poruči: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Moji će se gradovi opet prelijevati obiljem, i Jahve će utješiti Sion, izabrati Jeruzalem.'”
Proclaim yet [farther], saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, My cities shall again overflow with prosperity: and the Lord will again comfort Zion, and make choice again of Jerusalem.
18 Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: četiri roga.
And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there were four horns.
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 unto the angel who spoke with me, What are these? And he said unto me, These are the horns that have dispersed Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 Onda mi Jahve pokaza četiri kovača.
And the Lord showed me four 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 are these coming to do? And he said as followeth, These are the horns that have dispersed Judah, to the extent that no man could lift up his head; but these are come to terrify them, to cast off the horns of the nations, that have been lifting up their horn over the land of Judah to disperse it.
