< Zechariah 12 >
1 The word of the Lord about Israel. The Lord by whom the heavens are stretched out and the bases of the earth put in place, and the spirit of man formed inside him, has said:
»Breme o Gospodovi besedi za Izrael, « govori Gospod, ki razprostira nebo in polaga temelj zemlji in oblikuje človeškega duha znotraj njega.
2 See, I will make Jerusalem a cup of shaking fear to all the peoples round about, when Jerusalem is shut in.
»Glej, Jeruzalem bom naredil čašo trepetanja vsemu ljudstvu naokoli, ko bodo v obleganju tako zoper Juda in zoper Jeruzalem.
3 And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone of great weight for all the peoples; all those who take it up will be badly wounded; and all the nations of the earth will come together against it.
Na tisti dan bom naredil [prestolnico] Jeruzalem obremenilni kamen za vse ljudstvo. Vsi, ki se bremenijo s tem, bodo razsekani na koščke, čeprav bo vse ljudstvo zemlje zbrano zoper njo.
4 In that day, says the Lord, I will put fear into every horse and make every horseman go off his head: and my eyes will be open on the people of Judah, and I will make every horse of the peoples blind.
Na tisti dan, « govori Gospod, »bom vsakega konja udaril z osuplostjo in njegovega jezdeca z norostjo in svoje oči bom odprl nad Judovo hišo in vsakega konja ljudstva bom udaril s slepoto.
5 And the families of Judah will say in their hearts, The people of Jerusalem have their strength in the Lord of armies, their God.
Voditelji Juda bodo v svojem srcu rekli: ›Prebivalci Jeruzalema bodo moja moč v Gospodu nad bojevniki, njihovem Bogu.‹
6 In that day I will make the families of Judah like a pot with fire in it among trees, and like a flaming stick among cut grain; they will send destruction on all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem will be living again in the place which is hers, that is, in Jerusalem.
Na tisti dan bom naredil voditelje Juda kakor ognjeno ognjišče med lesom in ognjeno baklo v snopu in použili bodo vse ljudstvo naokoli, na desni roki in na levi in Jeruzalem bo ponovno naseljen na svojem lastnem kraju, celó v Jeruzalemu.
7 And the Lord will give salvation to the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the family of David and the glory of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.
Gospod bo tudi najprej rešil Judove šotore, da se slava Davidove hiše in slava prebivalcev Jeruzalema ne bo poveličevala zoper Juda.
8 In that day the Lord will be a cover over the people of Jerusalem; and he who is feeble among them in that day will be as strong as David, and the family of David will be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.
Na tisti dan bo Gospod branil prebivalce Jeruzalema. Kdor bo na tisti dan med njimi slaboten, bo kakor David in Davidova hiša bo kakor Bog, kakor Gospodov angel pred njimi.
9 And it will come about on that day that I will take in hand the destruction of all the nations who come against Jerusalem.
In zgodilo se bo na tisti dan, da si bom prizadeval uničiti vse narode, ki pridejo zoper Jeruzalem.
10 And I will send down on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayer; and their eyes will be turned to the one who was wounded by their hands: and they will be weeping for him as for an only son, and their grief for him will be bitter, like the grief of one sorrowing for his oldest son.
Na Davidovo hišo in na prebivalce Jeruzalema bom izlil duha milosti in ponižnih prošenj in gledali bodo name, ki so ga prebodli in žalovali bodo za njim, kakor nekdo žaluje za svojim edinim sinom in v grenkobi bodo za njim, kakor nekdo, ki je v grenkobi zaradi svojega prvorojenca.
11 In that day there will be a great weeping in Jerusalem, like the weeping of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Na tisti dan bo v Jeruzalemu veliko žalovanje, kakor žalovanje za Hadád Rimónom v dolini Megído.
12 And the land will give itself to weeping, every family separately; the family of David by themselves, and their wives by themselves; the family of Nathan by themselves, and their wives by themselves;
Dežela bo žalovala, vsaka družina posebej; družina Davidove hiše posebej in njihove žene posebej, družina Natánove hiše posebej in njihove žene posebej,
13 The family of Levi by themselves, and their wives by themselves; the family of Shimei by themselves, and their wives by themselves;
družina Lévijeve hiše posebej in njihove žene posebej, Šimíjeva družina posebej in njihove žene posebej.
14 And all the other families by themselves, and their wives by themselves.
Vse družine, ki preostanejo, vsaka družina posebej in njihove žene posebej.«
