Cakarijas 1
1 Astotā mēnesī, Dārija otrā gadā, Tā Kunga vārds notika uz pravieti Zahariju, Bereķijas, Idus dēla, dēlu, sacīdams:
[I am] Zechariah, a prophet, the son of Berekiah and grandson of Iddo. When Darius [had been the emperor of Persia] for almost two years, during November [of that year], Yahweh gave me this message:
2 Tas Kungs dusmodamies dusmojies par jūsu tēviem.
“I was very angry with your ancestors.
3 Tāpēc saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: atgriežaties atkal pie Manis, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, tad Es atkal griezīšos pie jums, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
So tell this to the people: [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say, ‘Return to me, and [if you do that], I will [help] you again.
4 Neesiet kā jūsu tēvi, uz ko tie pirmie pravieši sauca un sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: atgriežaties jel no saviem ļauniem ceļiem un saviem ļauniem darbiem! Bet tie neklausīja un Mani neņēma vērā, saka Tas Kungs.
Do not be like your ancestors. [Other] prophets, who have now died, [continually] proclaimed to your ancestors that they should stop doing the evil things that they were continually doing. But they refused to pay attention to what I said.
5 Jūsu tēvi, kur tie ir? Un tie pravieši, vai tie var mūžīgi dzīvot?
Your ancestors [have died and are now in their graves] [RHQ]. And the prophets did not [RHQ] live forever, [either].
6 Bet Mani vārdi un Mani likumi, ko Es biju pavēlējis Saviem kalpiem, tiem praviešiem, vai tie nav nākuši pār jūsu tēviem? Tā ka tie atgriezdamies sacīja: tā kā Tas Kungs Cebaot bija nodomājis mums darīt pēc mūsu ceļiem un pēc mūsu darbiem, tā Viņš mums ir darījis.
But I punished [IDM] [the people for disobeying] the commands and the decrees which I commanded my servants the prophets [to tell to the people]. Then they (repented/turned away from their evil behavior) and said, ‘The Commander of the armies of angels has done to us what we deserved for our evil behavior, just like he said that he would do.’”
7 Divdesmit ceturtā dienā, vienpadsmitā mēnesī, tas bija Zebat mēnesis, Dārija otrā gadā, Tā Kunga vārds notika uz pravieti Zahariju, Bereķijas, Idus dēla, dēlu, sacīdams:
[Three months later], on February 15, Yahweh gave [another] message to me.
8 Es redzēju naktī un raugi, vīrs jāja uz sarkana zirga, un tas stāvēja starp mirtēm ielejā, un aiz viņa bija sarkani, bēri un balti zirgi.
During the night [I had a vision. In the vision] I saw an [angel] who was on a red horse. He was in a narrow valley among some myrtle trees. Behind him were [angels on] red, brown, and white horses.
9 Tad es sacīju: mans kungs, kas tie tādi? Un tas eņģelis, kas ar mani runāja, sacīja uz mani: es tev rādīšu, kas šie tādi.
I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Sir, who are those [angels on the horses]?” He replied, “I will show you who they are.”
10 Tad tas vīrs, kas stāvēja starp tām mirtēm, atbildēja un sacīja: šie ir tie, ko Tas Kungs izsūtījis, pārstaigāt zemi.
Then the [angel] who had been under the myrtle trees explained. [He said, ] “They are the [angels] whom Yahweh sent [to (patrol/see what is happening in)] the [entire] world.”
11 Un tie atbildēja Tā Kunga eņģelim, kas stāvēja starp tām mirtēm, un sacīja: mēs zemi esam pārstaigājuši, un redzi, visa zeme ir klusa un mierā.
Then those angels reported to the angel who was [there] among the myrtle trees, “We have traveled throughout the world, and we have found out that [the army of the emperor of Persia has conquered nations] throughout the world, [and that] those nations are now (helpless/unable to resist his army).”
12 Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis atbildēja un sacīja: Kungs Cebaot! Cik ilgi Tu neapžēlosies par Jeruzālemi un par Jūda pilsētām, par kurām Tu esi dusmojies šos septiņdesmit gadus?
Then the angel asked, “Commander of the armies of angels, how long will you continue to not be merciful to Jerusalem and the [other] towns in Judah? You have been angry with them for 70 years!”
13 Un Tas Kungs tam eņģelim, kas ar mani runāja, atbildēja labus vārdus, prieka vārdus.
[So] Yahweh spoke kindly to the angel who had talked to me, saying things that comforted/encouraged him.
14 Un tas eņģelis, kas ar mani runāja, sacīja uz mani: sludini un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: Es esmu iekarsis par Jeruzālemi un par Ciānu ar lielu karstumu.
Then the angel who had been talking with me said to me, “Proclaim this [to the people of Jerusalem]: The Commander of the armies of angels says that he is very concerned about [the people who live on] Zion [Hill] and [in the other parts of] Jerusalem.
15 Un ar lielām dusmām Es dusmojos par tiem drošiem pagāniem, jo Es biju maķenīt dusmīgs, bet tie palīdzēja uz ļaunumu.
But he is very angry with the nations that are [proud and feel] safe. He was only a little bit angry [with the people of Judah], but [he is very angry with the surrounding nations because] they caused [the people of Judah to experience] complete disaster.
16 Tāpēc tā saka Tas Kungs: Es atgriezīšos uz Jeruzālemi ar apžēlošanu, Mans nams tur taps uztaisīts, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, un mēra auklu vilks pār Jeruzālemi.
Therefore, this is what he says: ‘I will again be merciful to [the people of] Jerusalem, and they will rebuild my temple. Men will measure [all the land in] the city [before they start rebuilding the houses].’
17 Sludini vēl un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: Manām pilsētām atkal labi klāsies, jo Tas Kungs atkal iepriecinās Ciānu un atkal izredzēs Jeruzālemi. -
The Commander of the armies of angels [also] said this: ‘Tell the people that [the people in] my towns [in Judah] will soon be very prosperous again, and I will encourage [the people of] Jerusalem, and their city will again be my chosen [city].’”
18 Un es pacēlu savas acis un skatījos, un redzi, tur bija četri ragi.
Then I looked up, and I saw in front of me four [animal] horns.
19 Un es sacīju uz to eņģeli, kas ar mani runāja: kas tie tādi? Un viņš sacīja uz mani: šie ir tie ragi, kas izkaisījuši Jūdu un Israēli un Jeruzālemi.
I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “What are those [horns]?” He replied, “Those horns [represent the armies that] forced [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah and Israel to go [to other countries].”
20 Un Tas Kungs man rādīja četrus kalējus.
Then Yahweh showed me four (craftsmen/men who make things from metal).
21 Tad es sacīju: ko tie nāk darīt? Un viņš runāja un sacīja: še ir tie ragi, kas Jūdu izkaisījuši, tā ka neviens savu galvu nepaceļ, bet šie ir nākuši tos biedināt un nosist zemē ragus tiem pagāniem, kas bija ragu pacēluši pret Jūda zemi, to izkaisīt. -
I asked, “What are those men coming to do?” He replied, “[The armies represented by] those horns caused [the people of] Judah to be scattered, with the result that they suffered greatly. But the craftsmen have come to cause those who attacked [IDM] Judah to be terrified and crushed.”
