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 Darius the king, that the word of Yahweh came unto Zechariah, on the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu;
2 Kad poslaše u dom Božji Sarasara i Regemeleha i ljude svoje da mole Gospoda,
yea when Bethel sent Sherezer and Regemmelech, and his men, —to pacify the face of Yahweh:
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?
to speak unto the priests that pertained to the house of Yahweh of hosts, and unto the prophets, saying, —Shall 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 Yahweh 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 thou unto all the people of the land, and unto the priests, saying, —When ye fasted and lamented in the fifth and in the seventh, even these seventy years, did ye, really fast, unto, me?
6 A kad jedete i pijete, ne jedete li i ne pijete li sami?
And, when ye used to eat and when ye used to drink, was it not, of your own accord, ye did eat, and, of your own accord, ye did drink?
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 [have been doing] the things which Yahweh, had proclaimed, by the hand of the former prophets, while yet Jerusalem was inhabited and in peace, with her cities round about her, —and the South and the Lowland were inhabited?
8 Doðe rijeè Gospodnja Zahariji govoreæi:
And the word of Yahweh came unto Zechariah, saying:
9 Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: sudite pravo i budite milostivi i žalostivi jedan drugom.
Thus, spake Yahweh of hosts, saying, —With true justice, give ye judgment, and, lovingkindness and compassions, observe ye, one with another;
10 I ne èinite krivo udovici ni siroti, inostrancu ni siromahu, i ne mislite zlo jedan drugom u srcu svom.
And, the widow and the fatherless, the sojourner and the humbled, do not ye oppress, —and, wickedness between one man and another, do not ye devise in your hearts.
11 Ali ne htješe slušati, i uzmakoše ramenom natrag, i zatiskoše uši svoje da ne èuju.
Howbeit they refused to give heed, but put forth a rebellious shoulder, —and, their ears, made they hard of hearing, that they might 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.
and, their heart, turned they into adamant, that they might not hear the law, nor the words which Yahweh of hosts sent by his spirit, through the former prophets, —and so there came great wrath from Yahweh 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.
Therefore came it to pass that—just as he cried out and they hearkened not, so, used they to cry out, and I used not to hearken, saith Yahweh 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 whirled them over all the nations whom they had not known, and, the land, was made desolate after them, that none passed through and returned, —Yea they made of a delightful land—a desolation.
