Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying:
Osmoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve dođe riječ Jahvina proroku Zahariji, sinu Berekjinu, sinu Idonovu.
2 “The LORD was very angry with your fathers.
“Jahve se teško razgnjevio na oce vaše!
3 So tell the people that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Return to Me, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of Hosts.’
Zatim im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Vratite se meni, i ja ću se vratiti vama' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Turn now from your evil ways and deeds.’ But they did not listen or pay attention to Me, declares the LORD.
'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.
5 Where are your fathers now? And the prophets, do they live forever?
Gdje su sad oci vaši? Zar će dovijeka živjeti proroci?
6 But did not My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, overtake your fathers? They repented and said, ‘Just as the LORD of Hosts purposed to do to us according to our ways and deeds, so He has done to us.’”
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.'”
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo.
Dvadeset i četvrtog dana, jedanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Šebat, druge godine Darijeve, dođe riječ Jahvina proroku Zahariji, sinu Berekjinu, sinu Idonovu.
8 I looked out into the night and saw a man riding on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in the hollow, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.
Imao sam noću viđenje. Gle, na riđanu čovjek jaše među mirtama koje imaju duboko korijenje, a iza njega konji riđi, smeđi i bijeli.
9 “What are these, my lord?” I asked. And the angel who was speaking with me replied, “I will show you what they are.”
Upitah: “Koji su ovi, gospodaru?” Anđeo koji je sa mnom govorio reče mi: “Ja ću ti pokazati koji su.”
10 Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones the LORD has sent to patrol the earth.”
Čovjek koji stajaše među mirtama odgovori: “Ovo su oni koje je poslao Jahve da obilaze zemlju.”
11 And the riders answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and tranquil.”
Oni se obratiše anđelu Jahvinu, koji stajaše među mirtama, i kazaše: “Obišli smo zemlju, i gle: sva zemlja počiva i miruje.”
12 Then the angel of the LORD said, “How long, O LORD of Hosts, will You withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been angry these seventy years?”
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?”
13 So the LORD spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who was speaking with me.
A Jahve anđelu koji je govorio sa mnom odgovori utješnim riječima.
14 Then the angel who was speaking with me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,
I anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom reče mi: “Objavi ovo: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Ljubavlju ljubomornom gorim za Jeruzalem i za Sion,
15 but I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease. For I was a little angry, but they have added to the calamity.’
a velikim gnjevom plamtim na ohole narode, jer kad se ono malo rasrdih, oni prijeđoše mjeru.'
16 Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there My house will be rebuilt, declares the LORD of Hosts, and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.’
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.'
17 Proclaim further that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘My cities will again overflow with prosperity; the LORD will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’”
I ovo poruči: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Moji će se gradovi opet prelijevati obiljem, i Jahve će utješiti Sion, izabrati Jeruzalem.'”
18 Then I looked up and saw four horns.
Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: četiri roga.
19 So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he told me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
Upitah anđela koji je govorio sa mnom: “Što je ovo?” On mi odgovori: “To su rogovi koji su raznijeli Judu, Izraela i Jeruzalem.”
20 Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen.
Onda mi Jahve pokaza četiri kovača.
21 “What are these coming to do?” I asked. And He replied, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise his head; but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations that have lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
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.”
