Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measure-cord in his hand.
Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: čovjek, a u ruci mu mjeračko uže.
2 Then said I, Whither art thou going? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is her breadth, and what is her length.
Upitah ga: “Kamo ideš?” Odgovori mi: “Da izmjerim Jeruzalem i da vidim koliko je širok a koliko dug.”
3 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him;
I gle, anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom stajaše nepomično, a drugi mu iziđe u susret
4 And he said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Without walls shall Jerusalem be inhabited because of the multitude of men and cattle in her midst.
i reče mu: “Trči, reci onome mladiću ovako: Jeruzalem će biti kao otvoren grad radi mnoštva ljudi i stoke koji će biti u njemu.
5 But I—I will be unto her, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and for glory will I be in the midst of her.
A ja ću mu - riječ je Jahvina - biti ognjen zid unaokolo i Slava njegova sred njega.”
6 Up! up! and flee away from the land of the north saith the Lord; for as the four winds of the heaven have I spread you abroad, saith the Lord.
“Hej! Hej! Bježite iz zemlje sjeverne” - riječ je Jahvina - “jer u sva četiri vjetra nebeska razasuo sam vas” - riječ je Jahvina!
7 Up, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
“Hej, Sione, koji živiš kod kćeri babilonske, spasi se!”
8 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, For the sake of [your] glory hath he sent me unto the nations that have despoiled you; for whoever toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, čija me Slava izaslala k narodima koji su vas opljačkali: “Tko vas dira, dira mi zjenicu oka.
9 For, behold, I will swing my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall acknowledge that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
Gle, ruku dižem na njih da plijenom budu svojim robovima.” Znat ćete tako da me posla Jahve nad Vojskama!
10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I am coming, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
“Kliči i raduj se, kćeri sionska, jer evo, dolazim usred tebe prebivat' - riječ je Jahvina.
11 And many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they shall be unto me for a people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
U onaj dan mnogi će narodi uz Jahvu prionuti i bit će narod moj, a ja ću prebivati usred tebe.” Znat ćeš tako da me tebi posla Jahve nad Vojskama.
12 And the Lord will take Judah as his inheritance upon the holy land; and he will again make choice of Jerusalem.
I Judeja će biti baština Jahvina, njegov dio u Svetoj zemlji, i on će opet izabrati Jeruzalem.
13 Be silent, all flesh! before the Lord; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.
Tiho, ljudi svi, pred Jahvom, jer, evo, on ustaje iz svetoga Prebivališta svojega!
