Zechariah 9
1 This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and Damascus its resting place— for the eyes of men and of all the tribes of Israel are upon the LORD —
Proroštvo. Riječ Jahvina. Jahve prolazi zemljom Hadraka, Damask mu je počivalište; jer Jahvini su gradovi Arama i sva plemena Izraela.
2 and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd.
Hamat također, koji s njim graniči,
3 Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
i Tir i Sidon, tako mudar. Tir podiže tvrde bedeme, zgrnu srebra kao prašine i zlata kao blata s ulica.
4 Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
Al' evo, Gospod će ga osvojiti, survati u more moć njegovu, a njega će progutati oganj.
5 Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
Vidjet će to Aškelon i prestrašiti se, a Gaza sva će uzdrhtati, i Ekron, jer ga nada prevari: nestat će kralja iz Gaze, Aškelon će pust ostati,
6 A mixed race will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
u Ašdodu stanovat će kopilad! Zatrt ću ponos Filistejaca,
7 I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abominations from between their teeth. Then they too will become a remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
uklonit ću im krv iz usta i gnusobu iz zuba. I oni će pripasti Bogu našem i bit će kao jedna obitelj u Judeji, a Ekron će biti kao Jebusejac.
8 But I will camp around My house because of an army, because of those who march to and fro, and never again will an oppressor overrun My people, for now I keep watch with My own eyes.
Uz Dom svoj utaborit ću se kao straža, protiv onih koji odlaze i dolaze; tlačitelj neće više ovud prolaziti, jer njegovu sam uvidio bijedu.
9 Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Klikni iz sveg grla, Kćeri sionska! Viči od radosti, Kćeri jeruzalemska! Tvoj kralj se evo tebi vraća: pravičan je i pobjedonosan, ponizan jaše na magarcu, na magaretu, mladetu magaričinu.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
On će istrijebit' kola iz Efrajima i konje iz Jeruzalema; on će istrijebit' luk ubojni. On će navijestit' mir narodima; vlast će mu se proširit' od mora do mora i od Rijeke do rubova zemlje.
11 As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
A i tebi, zbog krvi tvoga Saveza, vratit ću sužnje tvoje iz jama bezvodnih.
12 Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double.
Vratite se u Tvrđavu, izgnanici puni nade, još danas - ja navješćujem - dvostruko ću ti uzvratiti.
13 For I will bend Judah as My bow and fit it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
Jer, Judu sam kao luk napeo, a Efrajimom luk naoružao: tvoje ću, o Sione, zavitlat' sinove - protiv sinova tvojih, o Javane - i učinit ću te kao mač junaka.
14 Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.
Nad njima tad će se pojaviti Jahve i kao munja letjet će mu strijela. Jahve Gospod u rog će zatrubit', hodit će na južnim vihorima.
15 The LORD of Hosts will shield them. They will destroy and conquer with slingstones; they will drink and roar as with wine. And they will be filled like sprinkling bowls, drenched like the corners of the altar.
Jahve nad Vojskama zakrilit će ih i oni će gaziti nogama kamenje praćaka, pit će krv kao da je vino, napojit' se kao škropilo, kao uglovi na žrtveniku.
16 On that day the LORD their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like jewels in a crown they will sparkle over His land.
Jahve Bog njihov spasit će ih u dan onaj; kao stado on će pasti narod svoj; kao drago kamenje krune oni će blistat' u zemlji njegovoj.
17 How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.
Ah, kako li će sretan, kako lijep biti! Od žita će rasti mladići, a od slatkog vina djevice.
