1 Osmoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve, doðe rijeè Gospodnja proroku Zahariji sinu Varahije sina Idova govoreæi:
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
2 Gospod se vrlo razgnjevi na oce vaše.
Jehovah was sore displeased with your fathers.
3 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.
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Return unto me, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 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.
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith Jehovah.
5 Oci vaši gdje su? i ti proroci žive li dovijeka?
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6 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.
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7 Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana jedanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Savat, druge godine Darijeve, doðe rijeè Gospodnja proroku Zahariji sinu Varahije sina Idova govoreæi:
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
8 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.
I saw in the night, and, behold, a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the bottom; and behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.
9 I rekoh: što je ovo, gospodaru moj? A anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom reèe mi: ja æu ti pokazati što je ovo.
Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these are.
10 Tada èovjek koji stajaše meðu mirtama progovori i reèe: ovo su koje posla Gospod da oblaze zemlju.
And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11 I oni progovoriše anðelu Gospodnjemu koji stajaše meðu mirtama, i rekoše: mi obidosmo zemlju, i gle, sva zemlja poèiva i mirna je.
And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
12 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?
Then the angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13 A Gospod odgovori anðelu koji govoraše sa mnom, dobrijem rijeèima, milijem rijeèima.
And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me with good words, [even] comfortable words.
14 I reèe mi anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom: vièi i reci: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: revnujem za Jerusalim i za Sion veoma.
So the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 I gnjevim se silno na narode bezbrižne, jer se malo razgnjevih a oni pomogoše na zlo.
And I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
16 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.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
17 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.
Cry yet again, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity; and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18 Tada podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, i gle, èetiri roga.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns.
19 I rekoh anðelu koji govoraše sa mnom: što je to? A on mi reèe: to su rogovi koji razmetnuše Judu, Izrailja i Jerusalim.
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 Potom pokaza mi Gospod èetiri kovaèa.
And Jehovah showed me four smiths.
21 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.
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head; but these are come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
