Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] toward the LORD.
»Breme Gospodove besede v deželi Hadráh in Damask bo njegov počitek, ko bodo oči človeka kakor od vseh Izraelovih rodov, [usmerjene] proti Gospodu.
2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
Tudi Hamát bo njegova meja, Tir in Sidón, čeprav je ta zelo moder.
3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
[Naselbina] Tir si je zgradila oporišče in nakopičila srebra kakor prahu in čistega zlata kakor uličnega blata.
4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Glej, Gospod jo bo vrgel ven in udaril bo njeno oblast na morju in použita bo z ognjem.
5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gaza also [shall see it], and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Aškelón bo to videl in se bo bal. Tudi Gaza bo to videla in bo zelo žalostna in Ekrón, kajti njegovo pričakovanje bo osramočeno in kralj bo odtaval iz Gaze in Aškelón ne bo naseljen.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Mešanec bo prebival v Ašdódu in jaz bom iztrebil ponos Filistejcev.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, [shall be] for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Njegovo kri bom odvzel iz njegovih ust in njegove ogabnosti izmed njegovih zob. Toda kdor ostaja, celo on, bo za našega Boga in bo kakor voditelj v Judu in Ekrón bo kakor Jebusejec.
8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
Utaboril se bom okrog svoje hiše zaradi vojske, zaradi tistega, ki gre mimo in zaradi tistega, ki se vrača. Noben zatiralec ne bo več šel skoznje, kajti sedaj sem videl s svojimi očmi.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Silno se veseli, oh sionska hči. Vriskaj, oh jeruzalemska hči. Glej, tvoj Kralj prihaja k tebi; pravičen je in ima rešitev duše; ponižen in jahajoč na oslu in žrebetu, osličjem žrebetu.
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 heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea [even] to sea, and from the river [even] to the ends of the earth.
Iztrebil bom voz iz Efrájima, konja iz Jeruzalema in bojni lok bo odrezan in govoril bo mir poganom. Njegovo gospostvo bo od morja celó do morja in od reke celó do koncev zemlje.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein [is] no water.
Tudi kar se tebe tiče, s krvjo tvoje zaveze sem tvoje jetnike poslal iz jame, v kateri ni vode.
12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare [that] I will render double unto thee;
Obrnite se k oporišču, vi jetniki upanja. Celo danes razglašam, da ti bom povrnil dvojno;
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
ko sem si ukrivil Juda, lok napolnil z Efrájimom in vzdignil tvoje sinove, oh Sion, zoper tvoje sinove, oh Grčija in te naredil kakor meč mogočnega človeka.«
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
Gospod bo viden nad njimi in njegova puščica bo šla naprej kakor bliskanje in Gospod Bog bo zatrobil na šofar in pojde z južnimi vrtinčastimi vetrovi.
15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners of the altar.
Gospod nad bojevniki jih bo branil in požrli bodo in podjarmili s kamni [iz] prače, in pili bodo in naredili hrup kakor od vina; in napolnjeni bodo kakor skledice in kakor oltarni vogali.
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, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
Gospod, njihov Bog, jih bo na tisti dan rešil, kakor trop svojega ljudstva, kajti oni bodo kakor kamni krone, povzdignjeni kakor zastava nad njegovo deželo.
17 For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
Kajti kako velika je njegova dobrota in kako velika je njegova lepota! Žito bo mladeniče naredilo radostne in novo vino mladenke.
