Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechyah, 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 hath been greatly angry with your fathers.
» Gospod je bil ogorčeno nezadovoljen z vašimi očeti.
3 And [now] say thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Return ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will return unto you: so hath said 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 ye not like your fathers, unto whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Do return from your evil ways, and your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor listen unto me, saith 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, — could they live for ever!
›Vaši očetje, kje so? In preroki, mar večno živijo?
6 But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, behold, they did overtake your fathers: and [then] they returned and said, Just as the Lord of hosts had purposed to do unto us, in accordance with our ways, and in accordance with our doings, so hath 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 of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechyahu, 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 this night, and behold there was a man riding upon a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle-trees that were in the deep valley; and behind him were red, pale, and white horses.
»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 And I said, What are these, O my lord? Then said unto me the angel that spoke with me, I will show thee what these are.
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 those whom the Lord hath sent to traverse 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 traversed the earth, and, behold, all the earth is inhabited quietly, 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 commenced the angel of the Lord, and said, O Lord of hosts, how long yet wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast been indignant these seventy 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 spoke with me with good words and comforting words.
Gospod je odgovoril angelu, ki je govoril z menoj, z dobrimi besedami in tolažilnimi besedami.
14 And the angel that spoke with me said unto me, Proclaim thou, saying, Thus hath said 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 with a great anger will I be angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little angry [with Zion], and they helped forward the mischief.
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 hath said the Lord, I am returned to Jerusalem in mercy: my house shall be rebuilt in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and the measuring-line shall be stretched forth over 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 Proclaim yet [farther], saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, My cities shall again overflow with prosperity: and the Lord will again comfort Zion, and make choice again of 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 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there were four horns.
Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči in videl in glej, štirje rogovi.
19 And I said unto the angel who spoke with me, What are these? And he said unto me, These are the horns that have dispersed 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 are these coming to do? And he said as followeth, These are the horns that have dispersed Judah, to the extent that no man could lift up his head; but these are come to terrify them, to cast off the horns of the nations, that have been lifting up their horn over the land of Judah to disperse 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.«
