Zaharija 7
1 Potom èetvrte godine cara Darija doðe rijeè Gospodnja Zahariji èetvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca, Hasleva,
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth [day] of the ninth month, even in Chislev.
2 Kad poslaše u dom Božji Sarasara i Regemeleha i ljude svoje da mole Gospoda,
Now [they of] Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to entreat the favour of the LORD,
3 I da govore sveštenicima, koji bijahu u domu Gospoda nad vojskama, i prorocima, i reku: hoæemo li plakati petoga mjeseca odvajajuæi se, kako èinismo veæ toliko godina?
[and] to speak unto the priests of the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
4 I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
5 Kaži svemu narodu zemaljskom i sveštenicima, i reci: kad postiste i tužiste petoga i sedmoga mjeseca za sedamdeset godina, eda li meni postiste?
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh [month], even these seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
6 A kad jedete i pijete, ne jedete li i ne pijete li sami?
And when ye eat, and when ye drink, do not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 Nijesu li to rijeèi koje je Gospod proglasio preko preðašnjih proroka, kad Jerusalim bijaše naseljen i miran i gradovi njegovi oko njega, i kad bijaše naseljen južni kraj i ravnica?
[Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?
8 Doðe rijeè Gospodnja Zahariji govoreæi:
And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
9 Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: sudite pravo i budite milostivi i žalostivi jedan drugom.
Thus hath the LORD of hosts spoken, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassion every man to his brother:
10 I ne èinite krivo udovici ni siroti, inostrancu ni siromahu, i ne mislite zlo jedan drugom u srcu svom.
and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11 Ali ne htješe slušati, i uzmakoše ramenom natrag, i zatiskoše uši svoje da ne èuju.
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12 I srcem svojim otvrdnuše kao dijamanat da ne èuju zakona i rijeèi koje sla Gospod nad vojskama duhom svojim preko proroka preðašnjih; zato doðe velik gnjev od Gospoda nad vojskama.
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: therefore came there great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
13 Zato kao što on vika a oni ne slušaše, tako i oni vikaše a ja ih ne slušah, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
And it came to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear; so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said the LORD of hosts;
14 Nego ih razmetnuh vihorom po svijem narodima, kojih ne poznavaše, i zemlja opustje iza njih da niko u nju ne dohoðaše niti se iz nje vraæaše, i obratiše milu zemlju u pustoš.
but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
