Zechariah 12
1 [This is] a message from Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh is the one who stretched out the sky, who created the earth, and who (gave life to humans/caused humans to be alive). This is what he says:
Breme rijeèi Gospodnje za Izrailja. Govori Gospod, koji je razapeo nebesa i osnovao zemlju, i stvorio èovjeku duh koji je u njemu:
2 “I will soon cause Jerusalem to be [like] [MET] a cup full [of very strong alcoholic drink], and the people of other nations who drink it will stagger around. And they will come and attack Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah.
Evo, ja æu uèiniti Jerusalim èašom za opijanje svijem narodima unaokolo, koji æe opsjesti Jerusalim ratujuæi na Judu.
3 At that time, [the armies of] all the nations will gather to attack Jerusalem, but I will cause [the leaders of] Judah to be [like] [SIM] a very heavy rock, and all who [try to] lift it will be badly injured.
I u taj æu dan uèiniti Jerusalim teškim kamenom svijem narodima; koji ga god htjedbudu dignuti, satræe se, ako bi se i svi narodi zemaljski sabrali na nj.
4 At that time I will cause every [one of their enemies’] horses to panic, and their riders to become crazy. I [IDM] will protect the people of Judah, but I will cause all their enemies’ horses to become blind.
U taj æu dan, govori Gospod, uèiniti da svi konji budu plašljivi i svi konjanici bezumni; i otvoriæu oèi svoje na dom Judin, i oslijepiæu sve konje narodima.
5 Then the leaders of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people in Jerusalem are strong because the Commander of the armies of angels is their God.’
Te æe govoriti glavari Judini u srcu svom: jaki su mi stanovnici Jerusalimski Gospodom nad vojskama, Bogom svojim.
6 At that time I will enable the leaders of Judah to be like [SIM] a pan containing hot coals [that is put] in a woodpile [to set it on fire], or like [SIM] a burning torch [that is put] in a [field of] ripe grain [to set it on fire]. The leaders of Judah [and their army] will destroy the people of the surrounding nations in all directions. But [the people of] Jerusalem will remain safe.
U onaj æu dan uèiniti da glavari Judini budu kao ognjište u drvima i kao luè zapaljen u snopovima, te æe proždrijeti i nadesno i nalijevo sve narode unaokolo, a Jerusalim æe još ostati na svom mjestu, u Jerusalimu.
7 And [I], Yahweh, will protect the tents of [the soldiers in other places in] Judah before [I rescue the people of Jerusalem], in order that the leaders of Jerusalem [DOU] will not be honored more than [the people in other places in] Judah [are honored].
I Gospod æe saèuvati šatore Judine najprije, da se ne diže nad Judom slava doma Davidova i slava stanovnika Jerusalimskih.
8 At that time, I will protect [MET] the people of Jerusalem. When that happens, even the weakest people in Jerusalem will be [strong] like [King] David [was]. And the descendants [MTY] of David will [rule the people] like I [would], as though an angel sent from [me], Yahweh, was their leader.
U onaj æe dan Gospod zaklanjati stanovnike Jerusalimske, i najslabiji meðu njima biæe u taj dan kao David, i dom æe Davidov biti kao Bog, kao anðeo Gospodnji pred njima.
9 At that time, I will prepare to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
I u taj dan tražiæu da istrijebim sve narode koji doðu na Jerusalim;
10 “I, [Yahweh, ] will cause the descendants [MTY] of [King] David to act very kindly and mercifully. They will look at me, [the one] who has been stabbed, and they will cry bitterly, like people cry for a firstborn son [who has died] [DOU].
I izliæu na dom Davidov i na stanovnike Jerusalimske duh milosti i molitava, i pogledaæe na mene kojega probodoše; i plakaæe za njim kao za jedincem, i tužiæe za njim kao za prvencem.
11 At that time, many people in Jerusalem will be crying bitterly, like people cried [when King Josiah was killed in the battle] at Hadad-Rimmon on the Megiddo Plain.
U ono æe vrijeme biti tužnjava velika u Jerusalimu kao tužnjava u Adadrimonu u polju Megidonskom.
12 Many people in Judah will cry, each family by themselves: the male descendants of David by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [David’s son] Nathan by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
I tužiæe zemlja, svaka porodica napose; porodica doma Davidova napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica doma Natanova napose, i žene njihove napose;
13 the male descendants [MTY] of Levi by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [Levi’s grandson] Shimei by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
Porodica doma Levijeva napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica Semejeva napose, i žene njihove napose;
14 and all the other members [of the kings’ clans and the priests’ clans] by themselves, and their wives by themselves.”
Sve ostale porodice, svaka napose, i žene njihove napose.
