Zechariah 8
1 Again the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying:
Ponovno je prišla k meni beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
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.”
»Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Z velikim ljubosumjem sem bil ljubosumen zaradi Siona in zaradi njega sem bil ljubosumen s silno razjarjenostjo.‹
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.”
Tako govori Gospod: ›Vrnem se k Sionu in prebival bom v sredi Jeruzalema in Jeruzalem bo imenovan mesto resnice in gora Gospoda nad bojevniki 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.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še bodo starci in starke prebivali na ulicah Jeruzalema in vsak mož s svojo palico v svoji roki zaradi visoke starosti.
5 And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing there.”
Ulice mesta bodo polne fantov in deklet, ki se bodo igrali na ulicah le-tega.‹
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.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Če je to čudovito v očeh preostanka tega ljudstva v tistih dneh, mar ne bi bilo čudovito tudi v mojih očeh?‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
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.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, rešil bom svoje ljudstvo iz vzhodne dežele in iz zahodne dežele
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.”
in privedel jih bom in prebivali bodo v sredi Jeruzalema. In oni bodo moje ljudstvo in jaz bom njihov Bog v resnici in v pravičnosti.‹
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.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Naj bodo vaše roke močne, vi, ki v teh dneh slišite te besede po ustih prerokov, ki so bili na dan, ko je bil položen temelj hiše Gospoda nad bojevniki, da bi bil tempelj lahko zgrajen.
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.
Kajti pred temi dnevi ni bilo plačila za moža niti kateregakoli plačila za žival; niti zaradi stiske ni bilo nobenega miru tistemu, ki je odhajal ali prihajal, kajti vse ljudi sem naravnal, vsakega zoper svojega soseda.
11 But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as I did in the past,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
Toda sedaj preostanku tega ljudstva ne bom kakor v prejšnjih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
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.
›Kajti seme bo uspešno; trta bo dajala svoj sad in tla bodo dajala svoj prirastek in nebo bo dajalo svojo roso. In preostanku tega ljudstva bom povzročil, da vzamejo v last vse te stvari.
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.”
In zgodilo se bo, da kakor ste bili prekletstvo med pogani, oh hiša Judova in hiša Izraelova, tako vas bom rešil in boste blagoslov. Ne bojte se, temveč naj bodo vaše roke močne.
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,
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Kakor sem vas mislil kaznovati, ko so me vaši očetje dražili do besa, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki in se nisem pokesal,
15 “so now I have resolved to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid.
tako sem v teh dneh ponovno mislil, da storim dobro Jeruzalemu in Judovi hiši. Ne bojte se.
16 These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,
To so stvari, ki jih boste storili: ›Govorite vsak človek resnico svojemu sosedu; izvršujte sodbo resnice in miru v svojih velikih vratih
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.
in naj si nihče izmed vas v svojih srcih ne domišlja zla zoper svojega soseda in ne ljubite krive prisege, kajti vse to so stvari, ki jih sovražim, ‹ govori Gospod.«
18 Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,
Prišla mi je beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
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.”
»Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Post četrtega meseca, post petega, post sedmega in post desetega bo Judovi hiši radost in veselje in vedre gostije, zato ljubite resnico in mir.‹
20 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Peoples will yet come—the residents of many cities—
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še se bo zgodilo, da bodo prihajala ljudstva in prebivalci mnogih mest
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.’
in prebivalci enega mesta bodo šli k drugemu, rekoč: ›Pojdimo naglo, da molimo pred Gospodom in da iščemo Gospoda nad bojevniki.‹ ›Tudi jaz bom šel.‹«
22 And many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Hosts in Jerusalem and to plead before the LORD.”
Da, številna ljudstva in močni narodi bodo prišli, da iščejo Gospoda nad bojevniki v Jeruzalemu in da molijo pred Gospodom.
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.’”
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »V tistih dneh se bo zgodilo, da bo deset mož iz vseh jezikov narodov prijelo tistega, ki je Jud in celo prijelo krajec njegovega oblačila, rekoč: ›Šli bomo s teboj, kajti slišali smo, da je z vami Bog.‹«
