< Zechariah 1 >
1 In the eighth month of the second year of Darius' reign, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Osmoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve, doðe rijeè Gospodnja proroku Zahariji sinu Varahije sina Idova govoreæi:
2 “Yahweh was exceedingly angry with your fathers!
Gospod se vrlo razgnjevi na oce vaše.
3 Say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: Turn to me!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts— and I will return to you, says Yahweh of hosts.
Zato im reci: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: vratite se k meni, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i ja æu se vratiti k vama, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
4 Do not be like your fathers to whom the prophets cried out previously, saying, “Yahweh of hosts says this: Turn from your evil ways and wicked practices!” But they would not hear and did not pay attention to me—this is Yahweh's declaration.'
Ne budite kao oci vaši, kojima vikahu preðašnji proroci govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: vratite se sa zlijeh putova svojih i od zlijeh djela svojih; ali ne poslušaše niti paziše na me, govori Gospod.
5 Your fathers, where are they? Where are the prophets, are they here forever?
Oci vaši gdje su? i ti proroci žive li dovijeka?
6 But my words and my decrees that I commanded my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? So they repented and said, 'Just as Yahweh of hosts planned to do to us what our ways and actions deserved, so he has dealt with us.'”
Ali rijeèi moje i uredbe moje koje zapovijedah slugama svojim prorocima ne stigoše li oce vaše? te se oni obratiše i rekoše: kako Gospod nad vojskama bješe namislio uèiniti nam prema putovima našim i po djelima našim, tako nam uèini.
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius' reign, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana jedanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Savat, druge godine Darijeve, doðe rijeè Gospodnja proroku Zahariji sinu Varahije sina Idova govoreæi:
8 “I saw in the night, and, look! a man was riding on a red horse, and he was among the myrtle trees that are in the valley; and behind him there were red, reddish-brown, and white horses.”
Vidjeh noæu, a to èovjek jahaše na konju riðu, i stajaše meðu mirtama koje bijahu u dolu, a za njim bijahu konji riði, šareni i bijeli.
9 I said, “What are these things, Lord?” Then the angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what these things are.”
I rekoh: što je ovo, gospodaru moj? A anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom reèe mi: ja æu ti pokazati što je ovo.
10 Then the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are those Yahweh has sent out to roam throughout the earth.”
Tada èovjek koji stajaše meðu mirtama progovori i reèe: ovo su koje posla Gospod da oblaze zemlju.
11 They answered the angel of Yahweh who stood among the myrtle trees; they said to him, “We have been roaming throughout the earth; see, all the earth sits still and is at rest.”
I oni progovoriše anðelu Gospodnjemu koji stajaše meðu mirtama, i rekoše: mi obidosmo zemlju, i gle, sva zemlja poèiva i mirna je.
12 Then the angel of Yahweh answered and said, “Yahweh of hosts, how long will you show no compassion to Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years?”
Tada anðeo Gospodnji odgovori i reèe: Gospode nad vojskama, kad æeš se veæ smilovati Jerusalimu i gradovima Judinijem, na koje se gnjeviš veæ sedamdeset godina?
13 Yahweh answered the angel who had talked with me, with good words, words of comfort.
A Gospod odgovori anðelu koji govoraše sa mnom, dobrijem rijeèima, milijem rijeèima.
14 So the angel who had talked with me said to me, “Call out and say, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: I have been jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great passion!
I reèe mi anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom: vièi i reci: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: revnujem za Jerusalim i za Sion veoma.
15 I am very angry with the nations that are at ease. When I was only a little angry with them, they made the disaster worse.
I gnjevim se silno na narode bezbrižne, jer se malo razgnjevih a oni pomogoše na zlo.
16 Therefore Yahweh of hosts says this: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies. My house will be built within her —this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—and the measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem!'
Zato ovako veli Gospod: obratih se k Jerusalimu milošæu, dom æe se moj opet sazidati u njemu, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i uže æe se zategnuti preko Jerusalima.
17 Again call out, saying, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: My cities will once again overflow with goodness, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and he will once again choose Jerusalem.'”
Još vièi i reci: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: opet æe gradovi moji obilovati dobrom, i Gospod æe opet utješiti Sion i opet æe izabrati Jerusalim.
18 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw four horns!
Tada podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, i gle, èetiri roga.
19 I spoke to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” He answered me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
I rekoh anðelu koji govoraše sa mnom: što je to? A on mi reèe: to su rogovi koji razmetnuše Judu, Izrailja i Jerusalim.
20 Then Yahweh showed me four craftsmen.
Potom pokaza mi Gospod èetiri kovaèa.
21 I said, “What are these people coming to do?” He answered, and said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no man would lift up his head. But the blacksmiths have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations that lifted up a horn against the land of Judah to scatter her.”
I rekoh: šta su ti došli da rade? A on odgovori i reèe: ono su rogovi koji razmetnuše Judu da niko ne podiže glave; a ovi doðoše da ih uplaše, da odbiju rogove narodima, koji podigoše rog na zemlju Judinu da je razmetnu.
