Zechariah 2
1 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
Ponovno sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, mož z merilno vrvico v svoji roki.
2 And I say, “To where are you going?” And he says to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth and how much its length.”
Potem sem rekel: »Kam greš?« Rekel mi je: »Da izmerim Jeruzalem, da vidim kakšna je njegova širina in kakšna je njegova dolžina.«
3 And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,
Glej, angel, ki je govoril z menoj, je šel naprej in drug angel je odšel ven, da ga sreča
4 and he says to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem is inhabited [as] open places, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.
ter mu rekel: »Teci, govori temu mladeniču, rekoč: › [Prestolnica] Jeruzalem bo naseljena kakor mesta brez zidov, zaradi množice ljudi in živine v njej.‹
5 And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.
Kajti jaz, « govori Gospod, »ji bom ognjen zid vsenaokrog in bom slava v njeni sredi.
6 Behold, and flee from the land of the north, A declaration of YHWH, For as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, A declaration of YHWH.
Hej, hej, pridite in pobegnite iz severne dežele, « govori Gospod, »kajti razkropil sem vas naokrog kakor štiri vetrove neba, « govori Gospod.
7 Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
»Osvobodi se, oh Sion, ki prebivaš z babilonsko hčerjo.«
8 For thus said YHWH of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the pupil of His eye.
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Za slavo me je poslal k narodom, ki so vas plenili. Kajti kdor se dotakne vas, se dotakne punčice njegovega očesa.
9 For behold, I am waving My hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me.
Kajti glej, svojo roko bom stresel nad njimi in postali bodo plen svojim služabnikom in vedeli boste, da me je poslal Gospod nad bojevniki.
10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.
Prepevaj in razveseljuj se, oh hči sionska, kajti glej, prihajam in prebival bom v tvoji sredi, « govori Gospod.
11 And many nations have been joined to YHWH in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in your midst, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me to you.
»Na tisti dan bodo številni narodi pridruženi h Gospodu in bodo moje ljudstvo in jaz bom prebival v tvoji sredi in vedela boš, da me je Gospod nad bojevniki poslal k tebi.
12 And YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.
Gospod bo podedoval Juda in njegov delež v sveti deželi in ponovno bo izbral Jeruzalem.
13 Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
Molči, oh vse meso, pred Gospodom, kajti vzdignjen je iz svojega svetega prebivališča.«
