Zechariah 8
1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me], saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
»Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Z velikim ljubosumjem sem bil ljubosumen zaradi Siona in zaradi njega sem bil ljubosumen s silno razjarjenostjo.‹
3 Thus saith the LORD; I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts 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 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
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 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.
Ulice mesta bodo polne fantov in deklet, ki se bodo igrali na ulicah le-tega.‹
6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
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 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, rešil bom svoje ljudstvo iz vzhodne dežele in iz zahodne dežele
8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall 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 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, who [were] in the day [when] the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might 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 these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither [was there any] peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one 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 I [will] not [be] to the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
Toda sedaj preostanku tega ljudstva ne bom kakor v prejšnjih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
12 For the seed [shall be] prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess 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 And it shall come to pass, [that] as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, 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 thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not;
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 again have I thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
tako sem v teh dneh ponovno mislil, da storim dobro Jeruzalemu in Judovi hiši. Ne bojte se.
16 These [are] the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth 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 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these [are things] that I hate, saith the LORD.
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 And the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
Prišla mi je beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the 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 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: [It shall] yet [come to pass], that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še se bo zgodilo, da bodo prihajala ljudstva in prebivalci mnogih mest
21 And the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
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 And many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Da, številna ljudstva in močni narodi bodo prišli, da iščejo Gospoda nad bojevniki v Jeruzalemu in da molijo pred Gospodom.
23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: In those days [it shall come to pass], that ten men out of all languages of the nations, shall take hold, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will 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.‹«
