< Zaharija 2 >
1 Opet podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, i gle, èovjek, i u ruci mu uže mjeraèko.
Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and lo! a Man, —and, in his hand, a Measuring Line.
2 I rekoh: kuda ideš? A on mi reèe: da izmjerim Jerusalim da vidim kolika mu je širina i kolika mu je dužina.
And I said, Whither art thou going? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what [should be] the breadth thereof, and what the length thereof.
3 I gle, anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom izide, i drugi anðeo izide mu na susret.
And lo! the messenger who was talking with me, coming forward, —and another messenger, coming forward to meet him.
4 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.
So he said unto him, Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Like open villages, shall Jerusalem remain, for the multitude of men and cattle in her midst;
5 I ja æu mu, govori Gospod, biti zid ognjen unaokolo i biæu za slavu usred njega.
And, I, will become to her, declareth Yahweh, A wall of fire round about, —and, a glory, will I become in her midst.
6 Ej, ej, bježite iz zemlje sjeverne, govori Gospod, jer vas razasuh u èetiri vjetra nebeska, govori Gospod.
Ho! ho! flee ye, therefore, out of the land of the North, urgeth Yahweh. For, as the four winds of the heavens, have I spread you abroad, declareth Yahweh.
7 Ej Sione, koji sjediš kod kæeri Vavilonske, izbavi se.
Ho! Zion, deliver thyself, —thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. For,
8 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.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, For his own honour, hath he sent me unto the nations that are spoiling you, —Surely, he that toucheth you, toucheth the pupil of mine eye.
9 Jer evo ja æu mahnuti rukom svojom na njih, i biæe plijen slugama svojim, i poznaæete da me je poslao Gospod nad vojskama.
For behold me! brandishing my hand over them, and they shall become a spoil unto their own slaves, —and ye shall know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me.
10 Pjevaj i veseli se, kæeri Sionska, jer evo ja idem i nastavaæu usred tebe, govori Gospod.
Sing out and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, —For behold me! coming in, and I will make my habitation in thy midst, declareth Yahweh.
11 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.
Then shall many nations, join themselves, unto Yahweh, in that day, and shall become my people, —and I will make my habitation in thy midst, so shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto thee.
12 I Gospod æe naslijediti Judu, svoj dio, u zemlji svetoj, i opet æe izabrati Jerusalim.
Thus will Yahweh inherit Judah, his portion, on the soil of the sanctuary, —and make choice, yet again, of Jerusalem.
13 Neka muèi svako tijelo pred Gospodom, jer usta iz svetoga stana svojega.
Hush! all flesh, before Yahweh, —For he hath roused himself up out of his holy dwelling.
