Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
V osmem mesecu, v drugem letu Dareja, je prišla Gospodova beseda Zahariju, Berehjájevemu sinu, Idójevemu sinu, preroku, rekoč:
2 The LORD has been sore displeased with your fathers.
» Gospod je bil ogorčeno nezadovoljen z vašimi očeti.
3 Therefore say you to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts; Turn you to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the LORD of hosts.
Zato jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Obrnite se k meni, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki ›in jaz se bom obrnil k vam, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
4 Be you not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts; Turn you now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says the LORD.
›Ne bodite kakor vaši očetje, h katerim so klicali prejšnji preroki, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Obrnite se sedaj iz svojih zlih poti in od svojih zlih početij, ‹ toda niso poslušali niti mi niso prisluhnili, ‹ govori Gospod.
5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
›Vaši očetje, kje so? In preroki, mar večno živijo?
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so has he dealt with us.
Toda mar se moje besede in moji zakoni, ki sem jih zapovedal svojim služabnikom prerokom niso prijeli vaših očetov? In pokesali so se ter rekli: ›Kakor nam je Gospod nad bojevniki mislil storiti, glede na naše poti in glede na naša početja, tako je postopal z nami.‹«
7 On the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Na štiriindvajseti dan enajstega meseca, ki je mesec šebát, v drugem letu kralja Dareja, je prišla Gospodova beseda Zahariju, Berehjájevemu sinu, Idójevemu sinu, preroku, rekoč:
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
»Videl sem ponoči in glej moža, jahajočega na rdečem konju in stal je med mirtinimi drevesi, ki so bila na dnu in za njimi so bili rdeči konji, lisasti in beli.«
9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said to me, I will show you what these be.
Potem sem rekel: »Oh moj gospod, kdo so ti?« Angel, ki je govoril z menoj, mi je rekel: »Pokazal ti bom kdo so ti.«
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
Mož, ki je stal med mirtinimi drevesi, je odgovoril in rekel: »To so tisti, ki jih je Gospod poslal, da hodijo sem ter tja po zemlji.«
11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sits still, and is at rest.
Odgovorili so Gospodovemu angelu, ki je stal med mirtinimi drevesi in rekli: »Hodili smo sem ter tja po zemlji in glej, vsa zemlja mirno sedi in je pri počitku.«
12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these three score and ten years?
Potem je Gospodov angel odgovoril in rekel: »Oh Gospod nad bojevniki, doklej ne boš imel usmiljenja nad Jeruzalemom in nad Judovimi mesti, zoper katere si imel ogorčenje teh sedemdeset let?«
13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
Gospod je odgovoril angelu, ki je govoril z menoj, z dobrimi besedami in tolažilnimi besedami.
14 So the angel that communed with me said to me, Cry you, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Tako mi je angel, ki je govoril z menoj, rekel: »Kliči, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Ljubosumen sem zaradi Jeruzalema in zaradi Siona z velikim ljubosumjem.
15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
Silno sem ogorčeno nezadovoljen s pogani, ki so oholi, kajti bil sem le malo nezadovoljen, oni pa so pomagali, da je stiska napredovala.‹«
16 Therefore thus says the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, says the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth on Jerusalem.
Zato tako govori Gospod: »Z usmiljenji sem se vrnil k Jeruzalemu. Moja hiša bo zgrajena v njem, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki »in [merilna] vrvica bo raztegnjena nad Jeruzalemom.
17 Cry yet, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Še kliči, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Moja mesta bodo prek blaginje še razširjena naokoli, in Gospod bo še potolažil Sion in bo še izbral Jeruzalem.‹«
18 Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči in videl in glej, štirje rogovi.
19 And I said to the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
Rekel sem angelu, ki je govoril z menoj: »Kaj so tile?« Odgovoril mi je: »Ti so rogovi, ki so razkropili Juda, Izraela in Jeruzalem.
20 And the LORD showed me four carpenters.
Gospod mi je pokazal štiri tesarje.
21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spoke, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Potem sem rekel: »Kaj so ti prišli delat?« Spregovoril je, rekoč: »Ti so rogovi, ki so razkropili Juda, tako da noben človek ni vzdignil svoje glave, toda prišli so, da jih prestrašijo, da odbijejo rogove poganov, ki so svoje rogove povzdignili nad Judovo deželo, da jo razkropijo.«
