Zechariah 12
1 A prophecy: This message came from the Lord concerning Israel, a declaration of the Lord who spread out the heavens, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who placed the breath of life within human beings.
»Breme o Gospodovi besedi za Izrael, « govori Gospod, ki razprostira nebo in polaga temelj zemlji in oblikuje človeškega duha znotraj njega.
2 Look! I am going to make Jerusalem like a cup containing alcoholic drink that will make all the surrounding nations stagger like drunks when they come to attack Judah and Jerusalem.
»Glej, Jeruzalem bom naredil čašo trepetanja vsemu ljudstvu naokoli, ko bodo v obleganju tako zoper Juda in zoper Jeruzalem.
3 On that day I will make Jerusalem like a heavy rock to all peoples. Anyone who tries to lift the rock will injure themselves badly. All the nations will join together to attack Jerusalem.
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 On that day I will make every horse panic-stricken and every rider go mad, declares the Lord, but I will watch over the people of Judah while I blind all the horses of their enemies.
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 Then the families of Judah will say to themselves, the people of Jerusalem are strong in their God, the Lord Almighty.
Voditelji Juda bodo v svojem srcu rekli: ›Prebivalci Jeruzalema bodo moja moč v Gospodu nad bojevniki, njihovem Bogu.‹
6 On that day I will make the families of Judah like burning coals in a wood, like a flaming torch in a field of straw. They will burn up to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while the people of Jerusalem will live safely in their city.
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 The Lord will give the victory to the soldiers of Judah first so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall 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 On that day the Lord will place a shield around the people of Jerusalem so that even the clumsiest of them will be as skilled a warrior as David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord who leads 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 On that day I will start destroying all those nations that attack Jerusalem.
In zgodilo se bo na tisti dan, da si bom prizadeval uničiti vse narode, ki pridejo zoper Jeruzalem.
10 I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They will look at me whom they pierced, and they will wail in grief over him, mourning as for an only child, weeping bitterly as for a firstborn.
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 On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning in Hadad-Rimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
Na tisti dan bo v Jeruzalemu veliko žalovanje, kakor žalovanje za Hadád Rimónom v dolini Megído.
12 The land will mourn, every family alone: the family house of David alone and their women by themselves, the families of Nathan,
Dežela bo žalovala, vsaka družina posebej; družina Davidove hiše posebej in njihove žene posebej, družina Natánove hiše posebej in njihove žene posebej,
13 Levi, and Shimei—
družina Lévijeve hiše posebej in njihove žene posebej, Šimíjeva družina posebej in njihove žene posebej.
14 and all the surviving families and their women, each group mourning alone by themselves.
Vse družine, ki preostanejo, vsaka družina posebej in njihove žene posebej.«
