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 Yahweh unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying: —
2 Gospod se vrlo razgnjevi na oce vaše.
Yahweh, 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 shalt thou say unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Return ye unto me, urgeth Yahweh of hosts, —that I may return unto you, saith Yahweh 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.
Do not become like your fathers, unto whom the former prophets, proclaimed, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Return, I pray you, from your wicked ways, and from your wicked practices; but they heard not, nor hearkened unto me, declareth Yahweh.
5 Oci vaši gdje su? i ti proroci žive li dovijeka?
Your fathers, where are they? and, the prophets, to times age-abiding, do they live?
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.
Howbeit, as for my words and my statutes with which I charged my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and so they returned and said, Just as Yahweh of hosts planned to do unto us, according to our ways and according to our practices, 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 twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the same, is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, as followeth:
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 looked by night, And lo! a man riding upon a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees, in the shade; and, after him, were horses, red, bay, 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, What are these, my lord? And the messenger who was speaking with me, said unto me, I, will shew thee what these, are.
10 Tada èovjek koji stajaše meðu mirtama progovori i reèe: ovo su koje posla Gospod da oblaze zemlju.
So the man who was standing among the myrtle-trees responded, and said, —These, are they whom Yahweh, hath sent, to go 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.
Then responded they to the messenger of Yahweh, who was standing among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have gone to and fro through the earth, —and lo! all the earth, resteth and is quiet.
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 messenger of Yahweh responded, and said, O Yahweh of hosts! How long wilt, thou, not have compassion upon Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, —against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years?
13 A Gospod odgovori anðelu koji govoraše sa mnom, dobrijem rijeèima, milijem rijeèima.
And Yahweh answered the messenger who was speaking with me, in words that were pleasant, —words that were consoling,
14 I reèe mi anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom: vièi i reci: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: revnujem za Jerusalim i za Sion veoma.
Then the messenger who was speaking with me, said unto me, Proclaim thou, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh 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, with a great displeasure, am I displeased with the careless nations, —in that, when, I, was displeased (for) a little, then, they, helped forward the calamity,
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.
Wherefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, I have returned to Jerusalem, with compassions, My house, shall be built therein, declareth Yahweh 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.
Further, proclaim thou, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet, shall my cities overflow with blessing! So will Yahweh yet, have compassion, upon Zion, and yet make choice of Jerusalem.
18 Tada podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, i gle, èetiri roga.
Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, —and lo! 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 messenger who was speaking with me, What are these? And he said unto me, These, are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 Potom pokaza mi Gospod èetiri kovaèa.
Then Yahweh shewed me Four Craftsmen.
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.
And I said, What are these coming in to do? And he spake, saying, These, are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head, but these [others] have come in to put them in fear, to cast down the horns of the nations, the which have lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter her.
