Zechariah 7
1 And it is maad in the fourthe yeer of Darius, kyng, the word of the Lord was maad to Sacarie, in the fourthe dai of the nynthe monethe, that is Caslew.
Četvrte godine kralja Darija, četvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca, Kisleva, dođe riječ Jahvina Zahariji.
2 And Sarasar, and Rogumelech, and men that weren with hem, senten to the hous of the Lord, for to preye the face of the Lord;
Betel je naime poslao Sar-Esera i Regem-Meleka s njihovim ljudima da mole lice Jahvino
3 that thei schulden seie to prestis of the hous of the Lord of oostis, and to profetis, and speke, Whether it is to wepe to me in the fyuethe monethe, ether Y schal halowe me, as Y dide now many yeeris?
i da pitaju svećenike u Domu Jahve nad Vojskama i proroke: “Hoćemo li plakati petoga mjeseca i postiti, kao što činimo već tolike godine?”
4 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Tada mi dođe riječ Jahve nad Vojskama: “Reci svemu puku zemlje i svećenicima:
5 and seide, Speke thou to al the puple of the lond, and to prestis, and seie thou, Whanne ye fastiden, and weiliden in the fyueth and seuenthe monethe, bi these seuenti yeeris, whether ye fastiden a fast to me?
'Kad postite i naričete petoga i sedmoga mjeseca već sedamdeset godina, zar meni postite?
6 And whanne ye eeten, and drunken, whether ye eten not to you, and drunken not to you silf?
A kad jedete i pijete, zar sebi ne jedete i pijete?
7 Whether wordis of profetis ben not, whiche the Lord spak in the hond of the formere profetis, whanne yit Jerusalem was enhabited, and was ful of richessis, and it, and citees therof in cumpas therof, and at the south and in feeldi place was enhabited?
Nisu li to propisi koje je Jahve objavio preko negdašnjih proroka kada Jeruzalem bijaše naseljen i miran kao i gradovi oko njega i kada bijaše napučen Negeb i Šefela?'”
8 And the word of the Lord was maad to Sacarie, and seide, The Lord of oostis saith these thingis, and spekith,
Riječ Jahvina dođe Zahariji:
9 Deme ye trewe dom, and do ye merci, and doyngis of merci, ech man with his brother.
“Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Sudite istinito i budite dobrostivi i milosrdni jedni drugima.
10 And nyle ye falsli calenge a widewe, and fadirles, ether modirles, and comelyng, and pore man; and a man thenke not in his herte yuel to his brother.
Ne tlačite udovu ni sirotu, ni došljaka ni uboga, i ne snujte u srcu pakosti jedan prema drugom.'
11 And thei wolden not `take heede, and thei turneden awei the schuldre, and yeden awei, and `maden heuy her eeris, lest thei herden.
Ali oni ne htjedoše poslušati, već prkosno okrenuše leđa; zatisnuše uši da ne bi čuli;
12 And thei puttiden her herte as adamaunt, lest thei herden the lawe, and wordis whiche the Lord of oostis sente in his Spirit, bi the hond of the formere profetis; and greet indignacioun was maad of the Lord of oostis.
otvrdnuše srcem kao kremen, da ne bi čuli Zakon i riječi koje im je slao Jahve nad Vojskama, svojim duhom, preko drevnih proroka. I Jahve nad Vojskama silno se tad razgnjevi.
13 And it is doon, as he spak; and as thei herden not, so thei schulen crie, and Y schal not here, seith the Lord of oostis.
I zato, kao što je on zvao a oni ga ne slušaše, tako su sad oni zvali a ja ih nisam slušao - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
14 And Y scateride hem bi alle rewmes, whiche thei knewen not, and the lond is desolat fro hem; for that there was not a man goynge and turnynge ayen, and thei han put desirable lond in to desert.
I razmeo sam ih među sve narode kojih ne poznavahu, a zemlja iza njih bi opustošena, te nitko nije njome prolazio niti se vraćao. Tako su zemlju blagostanja obratili u pustoš!”
