Zechariah 2
1 Then I looked again and I saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Ponovno sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, mož z merilno vrvico v svoji roki.
2 “Where are you going?” I asked him. “I'm going to Jerusalem to measure its width and length,” he replied.
Potem sem rekel: »Kam greš?« Rekel mi je: »Da izmerim Jeruzalem, da vidim kakšna je njegova širina in kakšna je njegova dolžina.«
3 The angel I was talking to came forward and another angel came to meet him
Glej, angel, ki je govoril z menoj, je šel naprej in drug angel je odšel ven, da ga sreča
4 and told him, “Run, and tell the young man that Jerusalem will have so many people and farm animals that it will be too big to have walls.”
ter mu rekel: »Teci, govori temu mladeniču, rekoč: › [Prestolnica] Jeruzalem bo naseljena kakor mesta brez zidov, zaradi množice ljudi in živine v njej.‹
5 The Lord declares, I myself will be a wall of fire all around the city, and I will be the glory inside it.
Kajti jaz, « govori Gospod, »ji bom ognjen zid vsenaokrog in bom slava v njeni sredi.
6 Run! Run! Run away from the northern land, says the Lord, because I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven.
Hej, hej, pridite in pobegnite iz severne dežele, « govori Gospod, »kajti razkropil sem vas naokrog kakor štiri vetrove neba, « govori Gospod.
7 Run away, people of Zion! All of you who live in Babylon must escape.
»Osvobodi se, oh Sion, ki prebivaš z babilonsko hčerjo.«
8 For this is what the Lord Almighty said: Afterwards the glorious Lord sent me against the nations that plundered you—for those who touch you touch the apple of his eye.
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Za slavo me je poslal k narodom, ki so vas plenili. Kajti kdor se dotakne vas, se dotakne punčice njegovega očesa.
9 I will raise my hand against them and their former slaves will plunder them. Then you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me.
Kajti glej, svojo roko bom stresel nad njimi in postali bodo plen svojim služabnikom in vedeli boste, da me je poslal Gospod nad bojevniki.
10 Sing in celebration, people of Zion, for I am coming to live with you, declares the Lord.
Prepevaj in razveseljuj se, oh hči sionska, kajti glej, prihajam in prebival bom v tvoji sredi, « govori Gospod.
11 Many nations will become believers in Lord on that day, and they shall be my people. I will live among you, and you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
»Na tisti dan bodo številni narodi pridruženi h Gospodu in bodo moje ljudstvo in jaz bom prebival v tvoji sredi in vedela boš, da me je Gospod nad bojevniki poslal k tebi.
12 The people of Judah will be the Lord's special people in the holy land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem as his special city.
Gospod bo podedoval Juda in njegov delež v sveti deželi in ponovno bo izbral Jeruzalem.
13 Be silent before the Lord, everyone, for he has risen from the holy place where he lives.
Molči, oh vse meso, pred Gospodom, kajti vzdignjen je iz svojega svetega prebivališča.«
