Zechariah 2

1 And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

Opet podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, i gle, èovjek, i u ruci mu uže mjeraèko.

2 And I say, 'Whither are thou going?' And he saith unto me, 'To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth, and how much its length.'

I rekoh: kuda ideš? A on mi reèe: da izmjerim Jerusalim da vidim kolika mu je širina i kolika mu je dužina.

3 And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,

I gle, anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom izide, i drugi anðeo izide mu na susret.

4 and he saith unto him, 'Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.

I reèe mu: trèi, govori onom mladiæu i reci: Jerusalimljani æe se naseliti po selima radi mnoštva ljudi i stoke što æe biti u njemu.

5 And I — I am to her — an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst.

I ja æu mu, govori Gospod, biti zid ognjen unaokolo i biæu za slavu usred njega.

6 Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah.

Ej, ej, bježite iz zemlje sjeverne, govori Gospod, jer vas razasuh u èetiri vjetra nebeska, govori Gospod.

7 Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.

Ej Sione, koji sjediš kod kæeri Vavilonske, izbavi se.

8 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter of His eye.

Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: za slavom posla me k narodima, koji vas oplijeniše; jer ko tièe u vas, tièe u zjenicu oka njegova.

9 For lo, I am waving my hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me.

Jer evo ja æu mahnuti rukom svojom na njih, i biæe plijen slugama svojim, i poznaæete da me je poslao Gospod nad vojskama.

10 Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah.

Pjevaj i veseli se, kæeri Sionska, jer evo ja idem i nastavaæu usred tebe, govori Gospod.

11 And joined have been many nations unto Jehovah in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in thy midst, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto thee.

I mnogi æe se narodi prilijepiti ka Gospodu u taj dan, i biæe mi narod, i ja æu nastavati usred tebe, i poznaæeš da me je poslao k tebi Gospod nad vojskama.

12 And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.

I Gospod æe naslijediti Judu, svoj dio, u zemlji svetoj, i opet æe izabrati Jerusalim.

13 Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been roused up from His holy habitation!'

Neka muèi svako tijelo pred Gospodom, jer usta iz svetoga stana svojega.
