Zechariah 8
1 And the word of Yahweh of hosts came, saying:
I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I am jealous for Zion with a great jealousy, —Yea, with great wrath, am I jealous for her.
“Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Ljubavlju ljubomornom za Sion izgaram i gnjevom velikim plamtim za nj! Vraćam se u Sion, prebivati hoću sred Jeruzalema.'
3 Thus, saith Yahweh, I have returned unto Zion, and will make my habitation in the midst of Jerusalem, —and Jerusalem, shall be called, The city of fidelity, and the mountain of Yahweh of hosts, The mountain of holiness.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Jeruzalem će se zvati Gradom vjernosti i Gorom Jahve nad Vojskama, Gorom svetosti.'
4 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet shall old men and old women sit in the broadways of Jerusalem, —Yea, each one with his staff in his hand for multitude of days:
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Starci i starice opet će posjedati po trgovima jeruzalemskim, svatko sa štapom u ruci zbog starosti prevelike.
5 And, the broadways of the city, shall be full of boys and girls, —playing in the broadways thereof.
A gradski će se trgovi ispuniti dječacima i djevojčicama koji će se igrati na njegovim trgovima.'
6 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Because it will be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people, in those days, In mine own eyes also, shall it be marvellous? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Ako to bude čudo u očima Ostatka u dane one, zar će to biti čudo i u mojim očima' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
7 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! saving my people out of the land of the dawn, —and out of the land of the going in of the sun;
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Evo spasit ću svoj narod iz zemlje istočne i iz zemlje sunčanog zapada.
8 And I will bring them in, and they shall have their habitation in the midst of Jerusalem, —and shall become my people, and, I, will become their God, In faithfulness and in righteousness.
Ja ću ih dovesti da se nastane usred Jeruzalema. I bit će mi narod a ja ću im biti Bog u vjernosti i pravdi.'
9 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Let your hands be strong, ye who are hearing, in these days, these words, —from the mouth of the prophets who, on the day the house of Yahweh of hosts, was founded, [foretold] that, the temple, should be built: —
Ovako Govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Neka ojačaju ruke vama koji ovih dana slušate riječi ove iz usta proroka koji prorokuje od dana kada bjehu položeni temelji Domu Jahve nad Vojskama da bi se opet sagradilo Svetište.
10 That, before those days, hire for man, could not be obtained, and, hire for beast, was there none, —and, neither to him who went out nor to him who came in, was there success by reason of the danger, Yea I let all men loose, each one against his neighbour.
Jer, prije ovih dana ne bijaše nadnice za čovjeka niti nadnice za živinče; niti bijaše mira od neprijatelja onome koji je izlazio ni onome koji je dolazio; puštao sam ljude jedne protiv drugih.
11 But, now, not as in the former days, am I to this remnant of the people, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts;
Ali sada, neću biti prema Ostatku ovog naroda kao minulih dana - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama -
12 For, the seed, shall be secure—the vine, shall yield her fruit, and the land, yield her increase, and the heavens, yield their dew, —and I will cause this remnant of the people to inherit all these things.
nego ću posijati mir: loza će roditi grožđem, zemlja će davati usjeve, a nebo će davati rosu svoju. Sve ću to dati Ostatku ovoga naroda.
13 And it shall come to pass that—Just as ye had become a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, So, will I save you, and ye shall become a blessing, —Do not fear, let your hands, be strong.
I kao što bijaste prokletstvo među narodima, dome Judin i dome Izraelov, tako ću vas spasiti da budete blagoslovom! Ne bojte se, nek' vam jake budu ruke!'
14 For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Just as I planned to bring calamity upon you, when your fathers provoked me, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and I relented not,
Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Kao što bijah namislio unesrećiti vas kada su me razgnjevili oci vaši - govori Jahve nad Vojskama - i nisam se pokajao,
15 So, have I again planned, in these days, to do good unto Jerusalem, and unto the house of Judah, —Do not fear!
tako, promijenivši naum, u ove dane mislim usrećiti Jeruzalem i dom Judin. Ne bojte se!
16 These, are the things which ye shall do: Speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour, truth and the sentence of peace, pronounce ye in your gates;
A ovo vam je činiti: Govorite istinu jedan drugom; sudite istinito i miroljubivo na vratima gradskim!
17 And let, no man, devise, the injury of his neighbour, in your heart, and the oath of falsehood, do not love, —for, all these, are things which I hate, declareth Yahweh.
Ne snujte jedan drugome zlo u srcu; ne ljubite lažnu kletvu. Jer sve to ja mrzim' - riječ je Jahvina!”
18 And the word of Yahweh of hosts came unto me, saying:
Dođe mi riječ Jahve nad Vojskama:
19 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the eleventh, shall become to the house of Judah a gladness and a rejoicing, and pleasant appointed meetings, —But, truth and peace, see that ye love.
“Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Post četvrtoga, post petoga, post sedmoga i post desetoga mjeseca postat će za Dom Jahvin radost, veselje i veseli blagdani. Ali ljubite istinu i mir!”
20 Thus, saith Yahweh of hoses, —It shall yet be that there shall come in peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities;
“Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Još će dolaziti narodi i stanovnici mnogih gradova.
21 And the inhabitants of one city, shall go, unto them of another, saying, Let us be going on to pacify the face of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of hosts, —I also, will go!
Stanovnici jednoga grada ići će u drugi govoreći: 'Hajde da idemo moliti lice Jahvino i tražiti Jahvu nad Vojskama!' Ići ću i ja!
22 So shall enter many peoples, and strong nations, to seek Yahweh of hosts in Jerusalem, —and to pacify the face of Yahweh.
I doći će mnogi puk i moćni će narodi tražiti Jahvu nad Vojskama u Jeruzalemu i moliti lice Jahvino.
23 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, In those days, [it shall be] that ten men out of all the tongues of the nations, shall take hold, —yea take hold of the skirt of every one that is a Jew, saying—We will go with you! For we have heard [that], God, is with you.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama! U one će dane deset ljudi od naroda svih jezika hvatati jednog Židova za skut govoreći: 'Idemo s vama, jer čusmo da je s vama Bog.'”
