Zechariah 9
1 A word of the Lord: The Lord has come to the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is his resting-place: for the towns of Aram are the Lord's,
»Breme Gospodove besede v deželi Hadráh in Damask bo njegov počitek, ko bodo oči človeka kakor od vseh Izraelovih rodov, [usmerjene] proti Gospodu.
2 As well as Hamath, which is by its limit, and Tyre and Zidon, because they are very wise.
Tudi Hamát bo njegova meja, Tir in Sidón, čeprav je ta zelo moder.
3 And Tyre made for herself a strong place, and got together silver like dust and the best gold like the earth of the streets.
[Naselbina] Tir si je zgradila oporišče in nakopičila srebra kakor prahu in čistega zlata kakor uličnega blata.
4 See, the Lord will take away her heritage, overturning her power in the sea; and she will be burned up with fire.
Glej, Gospod jo bo vrgel ven in udaril bo njeno oblast na morju in použita bo z ognjem.
5 Ashkelon will see it with fear, and Gaza, bent with pain; and Ekron, for her hope will be shamed: and the king will be cut off from Gaza, and Ashkelon will be unpeopled.
Aškelón bo to videl in se bo bal. Tudi Gaza bo to videla in bo zelo žalostna in Ekrón, kajti njegovo pričakovanje bo osramočeno in kralj bo odtaval iz Gaze in Aškelón ne bo naseljen.
6 And a mixed people will be living in Ashdod, and I will have the pride of the Philistines cut off.
Mešanec bo prebival v Ašdódu in jaz bom iztrebil ponos Filistejcev.
7 And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.
Njegovo kri bom odvzel iz njegovih ust in njegove ogabnosti izmed njegovih zob. Toda kdor ostaja, celo on, bo za našega Boga in bo kakor voditelj v Judu in Ekrón bo kakor Jebusejec.
8 And I will put my forces in position round my house, so that there may be no coming and going: and no cruel master will again go through them: for now I have seen his trouble.
Utaboril se bom okrog svoje hiše zaradi vojske, zaradi tistega, ki gre mimo in zaradi tistega, ki se vrača. Noben zatiralec ne bo več šel skoznje, kajti sedaj sem videl s svojimi očmi.
9 Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.
Silno se veseli, oh sionska hči. Vriskaj, oh jeruzalemska hči. Glej, tvoj Kralj prihaja k tebi; pravičen je in ima rešitev duše; ponižen in jahajoč na oslu in žrebetu, osličjem žrebetu.
10 And he will have the war-carriage cut off from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be cut off: and he will say words of peace to the nations: and his rule will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Iztrebil bom voz iz Efrájima, konja iz Jeruzalema in bojni lok bo odrezan in govoril bo mir poganom. Njegovo gospostvo bo od morja celó do morja in od reke celó do koncev zemlje.
11 And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.
Tudi kar se tebe tiče, s krvjo tvoje zaveze sem tvoje jetnike poslal iz jame, v kateri ni vode.
12 And they will come back to you, O daughter of Zion, as prisoners of hope: today I say to you that I will give you back twice as much;
Obrnite se k oporišču, vi jetniki upanja. Celo danes razglašam, da ti bom povrnil dvojno;
13 For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.
ko sem si ukrivil Juda, lok napolnil z Efrájimom in vzdignil tvoje sinove, oh Sion, zoper tvoje sinove, oh Grčija in te naredil kakor meč mogočnega človeka.«
14 And the Lord will be seen over them, and his arrow will go out like the thunder-flame: and the Lord God, sounding the war-horn, will go in the storm-winds of the South.
Gospod bo viden nad njimi in njegova puščica bo šla naprej kakor bliskanje in Gospod Bog bo zatrobil na šofar in pojde z južnimi vrtinčastimi vetrovi.
15 The Lord of armies will be a cover for them; and they will overcome, crushing under foot the armed men; they will take their blood for drink like wine: they will be full like the sides of the altar.
Gospod nad bojevniki jih bo branil in požrli bodo in podjarmili s kamni [iz] prače, in pili bodo in naredili hrup kakor od vina; in napolnjeni bodo kakor skledice in kakor oltarni vogali.
16 And the Lord their God will be their saviour in that day, giving them food like the flock of his people: for they will be like the jewels of a crown shining over his land.
Gospod, njihov Bog, jih bo na tisti dan rešil, kakor trop svojega ljudstva, kajti oni bodo kakor kamni krone, povzdignjeni kakor zastava nad njegovo deželo.
17 For how good it is and how beautiful! grain will make the young men strong and new wine the virgins.
Kajti kako velika je njegova dobrota in kako velika je njegova lepota! Žito bo mladeniče naredilo radostne in novo vino mladenke.
