Zechariah 8
1 And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
2 These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am angry about the fate of Zion, I am angry about her with great wrath.
»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 has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies 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 armies has said: There will again be old men and old women seated in the open spaces of Jerusalem, every man with his stick in his hand because he is so old.
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 open spaces of the town will be full of boys and girls playing in its open spaces.
Ulice mesta bodo polne fantov in deklet, ki se bodo igrali na ulicah le-tega.‹
6 This is what the Lord of armies has said: If this is a wonder to the rest of this people, is it a wonder to me? says the Lord of armies.
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 armies has said: See, I will be the saviour of my people from the east country, and from the west country;
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, rešil bom svoje ljudstvo iz vzhodne dežele in iz zahodne dežele
8 And I will make them come and be living in Jerusalem and they will be to me a people and I will be to them a God, in good faith and in righteousness.
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 armies has said: Let your hands be strong, you who are now hearing these words from the mouths of the prophets, that is to say, in the days when the base of the house of the Lord of armies has been put in place for the building of the house, that is the Temple.
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 there was no payment for a man's work, or for the use of a beast, and there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because of the attacker: for I had every man turned against his neighbour.
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 be to the rest of this people as I was in the past, says the Lord of armies.
Toda sedaj preostanku tega ljudstva ne bom kakor v prejšnjih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
12 For I will let the seed of peace be planted; the vine will give her fruit and the land will give her increase and the heavens will give their dew; and I will give to the rest of this people all these things for their heritage.
›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 And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and 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 armies has said: As it was my purpose to do evil to you when your fathers made me angry, says the Lord of armies, and my purpose was not changed:
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 in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.
tako sem v teh dneh ponovno mislil, da storim dobro Jeruzalemu in Judovi hiši. Ne bojte se.
16 These are the things which you are to do: Let every man say what is true to his neighbour; and let your judging give peace in your towns.
To so stvari, ki jih boste storili: ›Govorite vsak človek resnico svojemu sosedu; izvršujte sodbo resnice in miru v svojih velikih vratih
17 Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says 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 And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,
Prišla mi je beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
19 This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of 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 armies has said: It will again come about that when peoples and those living in great towns come,
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še se bo zgodilo, da bodo prihajala ljudstva in prebivalci mnogih mest
21 And the people of one town go to another and say, Let us certainly go with a request for grace from the Lord, and to give worship to the Lord of armies, then I will go with you.
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 great peoples and strong nations will come to give worship to the Lord of armies in Jerusalem and to make requests for grace from 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 armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears 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.‹«
