Zechariah 8
1 The word of Yahweh of hosts came to me, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
2 “Yahweh of hosts says this: I am passionate for Zion with great zeal and I am passionate for her with great anger!
»Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Z velikim ljubosumjem sem bil ljubosumen zaradi Siona in zaradi njega sem bil ljubosumen s silno razjarjenostjo.‹
3 Yahweh of hosts says this: I will return to Zion and will live in the midst of Jerusalem, for Jerusalem will be called The City of Truth and the mountain of Yahweh of hosts will be called The Holy Mountain!
Tako govori Gospod: ›Vrnem se k Sionu in prebival bom v sredi Jeruzalema in Jeruzalem bo imenovan mesto resnice in gora Gospoda nad bojevniki sveta gora.‹
4 Yahweh of hosts says this: Old men and old women will once again be in the streets of Jerusalem, and every person will need a staff in his hand because he has grown so old.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še bodo starci in starke prebivali na ulicah Jeruzalema in vsak mož s svojo palico v svoji roki zaradi visoke starosti.
5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in them.
Ulice mesta bodo polne fantov in deklet, ki se bodo igrali na ulicah le-tega.‹
6 Yahweh of hosts says this: If something seems impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also seem impossible in my eyes?—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Če je to čudovito v očeh preostanka tega ljudstva v tistih dneh, mar ne bi bilo čudovito tudi v mojih očeh?‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
7 Yahweh of hosts says this: Behold, I am about to rescue my people from the land of the sunrise and from the land of the setting sun!
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, rešil bom svoje ljudstvo iz vzhodne dežele in iz zahodne dežele
8 For I will bring them back, and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem, so they will again be my people, and I will be their God in truth and in righteousness!
in privedel jih bom in prebivali bodo v sredi Jeruzalema. In oni bodo moje ljudstvo in jaz bom njihov Bog v resnici in v pravičnosti.‹
9 Yahweh of hosts says this: You who now continue to hear the same words that came from the prophets' mouths when the foundation of my house was laid—this house of mine, Yahweh of hosts: Strengthen your hands so that the temple can be built.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Naj bodo vaše roke močne, vi, ki v teh dneh slišite te besede po ustih prerokov, ki so bili na dan, ko je bil položen temelj hiše Gospoda nad bojevniki, da bi bil tempelj lahko zgrajen.
10 For before those days no crops were gathered in by anyone, there was no profit for either man or beast, and there was no peace from enemies for anyone going or coming. I had set every person each against his neighbor.
Kajti pred temi dnevi ni bilo plačila za moža niti kateregakoli plačila za žival; niti zaradi stiske ni bilo nobenega miru tistemu, ki je odhajal ali prihajal, kajti vse ljudi sem naravnal, vsakega zoper svojega soseda.
11 But now it will not be as in former days, I will be with the remnant of this people —this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
Toda sedaj preostanku tega ljudstva ne bom kakor v prejšnjih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
12 For seeds of peace will be sown; the climbing vine will give its fruit and the earth will give its produce; the skies will give their dew, for I will make the remnant of this people inherit all these things.
›Kajti seme bo uspešno; trta bo dajala svoj sad in tla bodo dajala svoj prirastek in nebo bo dajalo svojo roso. In preostanku tega ljudstva bom povzročil, da vzamejo v last vse te stvari.
13 You were an example to the other nations of a curse, house of Judah and house of Israel. So I will rescue you and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid; let your hands be strong!
In zgodilo se bo, da kakor ste bili prekletstvo med pogani, oh hiša Judova in hiša Izraelova, tako vas bom rešil in boste blagoslov. Ne bojte se, temveč naj bodo vaše roke močne.
14 For Yahweh of hosts says this: Just as I planned to do harm to you when your ancestors provoked my anger —says Yahweh of hosts—and did not relent,
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Kakor sem vas mislil kaznovati, ko so me vaši očetje dražili do besa, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki in se nisem pokesal,
15 so also I will plan in these days to do good again to Jerusalem and the house of Judah! Do not fear!
tako sem v teh dneh ponovno mislil, da storim dobro Jeruzalemu in Judovi hiši. Ne bojte se.
16 These are the things that you must do: Speak truth, every person with his neighbor. Judge with truth, justice, and peace in your gates.
To so stvari, ki jih boste storili: ›Govorite vsak človek resnico svojemu sosedu; izvršujte sodbo resnice in miru v svojih velikih vratih
17 Do not plan to do evil within your heart against one another, and do not love false oaths—for these are the things I hate!—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
in naj si nihče izmed vas v svojih srcih ne domišlja zla zoper svojega soseda in ne ljubite krive prisege, kajti vse to so stvari, ki jih sovražim, ‹ govori Gospod.«
18 Then the word of Yahweh of hosts came to me, saying,
Prišla mi je beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
19 “Yahweh of hosts says this: The fasts of the fourth month, the fifth month, the seventh month, and the tenth month will become times of joy, gladness, and happy festivals for the house of Judah! Therefore love truth and peace!
»Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Post četrtega meseca, post petega, post sedmega in post desetega bo Judovi hiši radost in veselje in vedre gostije, zato ljubite resnico in mir.‹
20 Yahweh of hosts says this: People will come again, even those who are living in many different cities.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še se bo zgodilo, da bodo prihajala ljudstva in prebivalci mnogih mest
21 The inhabitants of one city will go to another city and say, 'Let us quickly go to beg before the face of Yahweh and to seek Yahweh of hosts! We ourselves are also going.'
in prebivalci enega mesta bodo šli k drugemu, rekoč: ›Pojdimo naglo, da molimo pred Gospodom in da iščemo Gospoda nad bojevniki.‹ ›Tudi jaz bom šel.‹«
22 Many people and mighty nations will come to seek Yahweh of hosts in Jerusalem and beg for the favor of Yahweh!
Da, številna ljudstva in močni narodi bodo prišli, da iščejo Gospoda nad bojevniki v Jeruzalemu in da molijo pred Gospodom.
23 Yahweh of hosts says this: In those days ten men from every language and nation will grasp the hem of your robe and say, 'Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you!'”
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »V tistih dneh se bo zgodilo, da bo deset mož iz vseh jezikov narodov prijelo tistega, ki je Jud in celo prijelo krajec njegovega oblačila, rekoč: ›Šli bomo s teboj, kajti slišali smo, da je z vami Bog.‹«
