Zechariah 8
1 Again the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying:
Opet doðe rijeè Gospoda nad vojskama govoreæi:
2 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I am jealous for Zion with great zeal; I am jealous for her with great fervor.”
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: revnujem za Sion velikom revnošæu, i velikim gnjevom revnujem za nj.
3 This is what the LORD says: “I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of Hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.”
Ovako veli Gospod: vratih se u Sion i naselih se usred Jerusalima, i Jerusalim æe se zvati grad istiniti, i gora Gospoda nad vojskama sveta gora.
4 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Old men and old women will again sit along the streets of Jerusalem, each with a staff in hand because of great age.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: opet æe sjedjeti starci i starice po ulicama Jerusalimskim, svatko sa štakom u ruci od velike starosti.
5 And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing there.”
I ulice æe gradske biti pune djetiæa i djevojaka, koje æe se igrati po ulicama.
6 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “If this is impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be impossible in My eyes?” declares the LORD of Hosts.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: ako je èudno u oèima ostatku toga naroda u ovo vrijeme, eda li æe biti èudno i u mojim oèima? govori Gospod nad vojskama.
7 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: evo, ja æu izbaviti svoj narod iz zemlje istoène i iz zemlje zapadne.
8 I will bring them back to dwell in Jerusalem, where they will be My people, and I will be their faithful and righteous God.”
I dovešæu ih, i oni æe nastavati usred Jerusalima, i biæe mi narod i ja æu im biti Bog, istinom i pravdom.
9 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Let your hands be strong, you who now hear these words spoken by the prophets who were present when the foundations were laid to rebuild the temple, the house of the LORD of Hosts.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: neka vam se ukrijepe ruke koji slušate u ovo vrijeme ove rijeèi iz usta proroèkih od dana kad se osnova dom Gospoda nad vojskama da se sazida crkva.
10 For before those days neither man nor beast received wages, nor was there safety from the enemy for anyone who came or went, for I had turned every man against his neighbor.
Jer prije tijeh dana ne bješe plate ni za èovjeka ni za živinèe, niti bješe mira od neprijatelja ni onome koji odlažaše ni onome koji dolažaše, i pustih sve ljude jednoga na drugoga.
11 But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as I did in the past,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
A sada neæu biti kao prije ostatku toga naroda, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
12 “For the seed will be prosperous, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will yield its produce, and the skies will give their dew. To the remnant of this people I will give all these things as an inheritance.
Nego æe usjev biti miran, vinova æe loza nositi plod svoj, i zemlja æe raðati rod svoj, i nebo æe davati rosu svoju; i sve æu to dati u našljedstvo ostatku toga naroda.
13 As you have been a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid; let your hands be strong.”
I kao što bijaste uklin meðu narodima, dome Judin i dome Izrailjev, tako æu vas izbaviti te æete biti blagoslov; ne bojte se, neka vam se okrijepe ruke.
14 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Just as I resolved to bring disaster upon you when your fathers provoked Me to anger, and I did not relent,” says the LORD of Hosts,
Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: kao što vam namislih zlo uèiniti, kad me razgnjeviše oci vaši, veli Gospod nad vojskama, i ne raskajah se,
15 “so now I have resolved to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid.
Tako opet u ove dane namislih da dobro èinim Jerusalimu i domu Judinu; ne bojte se.
16 These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,
Ovo je što treba da èinite: govorite istinu jedan drugom, sudite pravo i mirno na vratima svojim;
17 do not plot evil in your hearts against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely, for I hate all these things,” declares the LORD.
I ne mislite jedan drugome zlo u srcu svom, i ne ljubite krive zakletve, jer na sve to mrzim, govori Gospod.
18 Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,
Potom doðe mi rijeè Gospoda nad vojskama govoreæi:
19 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: The fasts of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth months will become times of joy and gladness, cheerful feasts for the house of Judah. Therefore you are to love both truth and peace.”
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: post èetvrtoga mjeseca, i post petoga i post sedmoga i post desetoga obratiæe se domu Judinu u radost i veselje i u praznike vesele; ali ljubite istinu i mir.
20 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Peoples will yet come—the residents of many cities—
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: još æe dolaziti narodi i stanovnici mnogih gradova;
21 and the residents of one city will go to another, saying: ‘Let us go at once to plead before the LORD and to seek the LORD of Hosts. I myself am going.’
Dolaziæe stanovnici jednoga u drugi govoreæi: hajdemo da se molimo Gospodu i da tražimo Gospoda nad vojskama; idem i ja.
22 And many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Hosts in Jerusalem and to plead before the LORD.”
Tako æe doæi mnogi narodi i silni narodi da traže Gospoda nad vojskama u Jerusalimu i da se mole Gospodu.
23 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue will tightly grasp the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: u to æe vrijeme deset ljudi od svijeh jezika narodnijeh uhvatiti jednoga Judejca za skut govoreæi: idemo s vama, jer èujemo da je Bog s vama.
