Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: čovjek, a u ruci mu mjeračko uže.
2 And I said, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
Upitah ga: “Kamo ideš?” Odgovori mi: “Da izmjerim Jeruzalem i da vidim koliko je širok a koliko dug.”
3 And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth; and another angel went forth to meet him,
I gle, anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom stajaše nepomično, a drugi mu iziđe u susret
4 and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein;
i reče mu: “Trči, reci onome mladiću ovako: Jeruzalem će biti kao otvoren grad radi mnoštva ljudi i stoke koji će biti u njemu.
5 and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
A ja ću mu - riječ je Jahvina - biti ognjen zid unaokolo i Slava njegova sred njega.”
6 Ho, ho! flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah.
“Hej! Hej! Bježite iz zemlje sjeverne” - riječ je Jahvina - “jer u sva četiri vjetra nebeska razasuo sam vas” - riječ je Jahvina!
7 Ho! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
“Hej, Sione, koji živiš kod kćeri babilonske, spasi se!”
8 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, čija me Slava izaslala k narodima koji su vas opljačkali: “Tko vas dira, dira mi zjenicu oka.
9 For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall become a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.
Gle, ruku dižem na njih da plijenom budu svojim robovima.” Znat ćete tako da me posla Jahve nad Vojskama!
10 Sing aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.
“Kliči i raduj se, kćeri sionska, jer evo, dolazim usred tebe prebivat' - riječ je Jahvina.
11 And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be unto me for a people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
U onaj dan mnogi će narodi uz Jahvu prionuti i bit će narod moj, a ja ću prebivati usred tebe.” Znat ćeš tako da me tebi posla Jahve nad Vojskama.
12 And Jehovah shall inherit Judah [as] his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
I Judeja će biti baština Jahvina, njegov dio u Svetoj zemlji, i on će opet izabrati Jeruzalem.
13 Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah; for he is risen up out of his holy habitation.
Tiho, ljudi svi, pred Jahvom, jer, evo, on ustaje iz svetoga Prebivališta svojega!
