< Zechariah 9 >
1 The burden of the word of the LORD. In the land of Hadrach, and in Damascus shall be His resting-place; for the LORD'S is the eye of man and all the tribes of Israel.
Proroštvo. Riječ Jahvina. Jahve prolazi zemljom Hadraka, Damask mu je počivalište; jer Jahvini su gradovi Arama i sva plemena Izraela.
2 And Hamath also shall border thereon; Tyre and Zidon, for she is very wise.
Hamat također, koji s njim graniči,
3 And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
i Tir i Sidon, tako mudar. Tir podiže tvrde bedeme, zgrnu srebra kao prašine i zlata kao blata s ulica.
4 Behold, the Lord will impoverish her, and He will smite her power into the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Al' evo, Gospod će ga osvojiti, survati u more moć njegovu, a njega će progutati oganj.
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be sore pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Vidjet će to Aškelon i prestrašiti se, a Gaza sva će uzdrhtati, i Ekron, jer ga nada prevari: nestat će kralja iz Gaze, Aškelon će pust ostati,
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
u Ašdodu stanovat će kopilad! Zatrt ću ponos Filistejaca,
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his detestable things from between his teeth, and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chief in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
uklonit ću im krv iz usta i gnusobu iz zuba. I oni će pripasti Bogu našem i bit će kao jedna obitelj u Judeji, a Ekron će biti kao Jebusejac.
8 And I will encamp about My house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more; for now have I seen with Mine eyes.
Uz Dom svoj utaborit ću se kao straža, protiv onih koji odlaze i dolaze; tlačitelj neće više ovud prolaziti, jer njegovu sam uvidio bijedu.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy king cometh unto thee, he is triumphant, and victorious, lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Klikni iz sveg grla, Kćeri sionska! Viči od radosti, Kćeri jeruzalemska! Tvoj kralj se evo tebi vraća: pravičan je i pobjedonosan, ponizan jaše na magarcu, na magaretu, mladetu magaričinu.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
On će istrijebit' kola iz Efrajima i konje iz Jeruzalema; on će istrijebit' luk ubojni. On će navijestit' mir narodima; vlast će mu se proširit' od mora do mora i od Rijeke do rubova zemlje.
11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
A i tebi, zbog krvi tvoga Saveza, vratit ću sužnje tvoje iz jama bezvodnih.
12 Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope; even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.
Vratite se u Tvrđavu, izgnanici puni nade, još danas - ja navješćujem - dvostruko ću ti uzvratiti.
13 For I bend Judah for Me, I fill the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Javan, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
Jer, Judu sam kao luk napeo, a Efrajimom luk naoružao: tvoje ću, o Sione, zavitlat' sinove - protiv sinova tvojih, o Javane - i učinit ću te kao mač junaka.
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord GOD will blow the horn, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
Nad njima tad će se pojaviti Jahve i kao munja letjet će mu strijela. Jahve Gospod u rog će zatrubit', hodit će na južnim vihorima.
15 The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like the basins, like the corners of the altar.
Jahve nad Vojskama zakrilit će ih i oni će gaziti nogama kamenje praćaka, pit će krv kao da je vino, napojit' se kao škropilo, kao uglovi na žrtveniku.
16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, glittering over His land.
Jahve Bog njihov spasit će ih u dan onaj; kao stado on će pasti narod svoj; kao drago kamenje krune oni će blistat' u zemlji njegovoj.
17 For how great is their goodness, and how great is their beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids.
Ah, kako li će sretan, kako lijep biti! Od žita će rasti mladići, a od slatkog vina djevice.
