Zaharija 1
1 V osmem mesecu, v drugem letu Dareja, je prišla Gospodova beseda Zahariju, Berehjájevemu sinu, Idójevemu sinu, preroku, rekoč:
In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2 » Gospod je bil ogorčeno nezadovoljen z vašimi očeti.
The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.
3 Zato jim reci: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Obrnite se k meni, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki ›in jaz se bom obrnil k vam, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.
4 ›Ne bodite kakor vaši očetje, h katerim so klicali prejšnji preroki, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Obrnite se sedaj iz svojih zlih poti in od svojih zlih početij, ‹ toda niso poslušali niti mi niso prisluhnili, ‹ govori Gospod.
Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked thoughts. But they did not heed, and neither did they pay attention to me, says the Lord.
5 ›Vaši očetje, kje so? In preroki, mar večno živijo?
Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?
6 Toda mar se moje besede in moji zakoni, ki sem jih zapovedal svojim služabnikom prerokom niso prijeli vaših očetov? In pokesali so se ter rekli: ›Kakor nam je Gospod nad bojevniki mislil storiti, glede na naše poti in glede na naša početja, tako je postopal z nami.‹«
Yet truly my words and my lawfulness, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, were indeed comprehended by your fathers, and so they were converted, and they said: Just as the Lord of hosts decided to do to us, according to our ways and according to our inventions, so has he done to us.
7 Na štiriindvajseti dan enajstega meseca, ki je mesec šebát, v drugem letu kralja Dareja, je prišla Gospodova beseda Zahariju, Berehjájevemu sinu, Idójevemu sinu, preroku, rekoč:
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is called Shevat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 »Videl sem ponoči in glej moža, jahajočega na rdečem konju in stal je med mirtinimi drevesi, ki so bila na dnu in za njimi so bili rdeči konji, lisasti in beli.«
I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.
9 Potem sem rekel: »Oh moj gospod, kdo so ti?« Angel, ki je govoril z menoj, mi je rekel: »Pokazal ti bom kdo so ti.«
And I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me, “I will reveal to you what these are.”
10 Mož, ki je stal med mirtinimi drevesi, je odgovoril in rekel: »To so tisti, ki jih je Gospod poslal, da hodijo sem ter tja po zemlji.«
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth.”
11 Odgovorili so Gospodovemu angelu, ki je stal med mirtinimi drevesi in rekli: »Hodili smo sem ter tja po zemlji in glej, vsa zemlja mirno sedi in je pri počitku.«
And those who stood among the myrtle trees answered the angel of the Lord, and they said, “We have walked through the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited and is at rest.”
12 Potem je Gospodov angel odgovoril in rekel: »Oh Gospod nad bojevniki, doklej ne boš imel usmiljenja nad Jeruzalemom in nad Judovimi mesti, zoper katere si imel ogorčenje teh sedemdeset let?«
And the angel of the Lord answered and said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry? This is now the seventieth year.”
13 Gospod je odgovoril angelu, ki je govoril z menoj, z dobrimi besedami in tolažilnimi besedami.
And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.
14 Tako mi je angel, ki je govoril z menoj, rekel: »Kliči, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Ljubosumen sem zaradi Jeruzalema in zaradi Siona z velikim ljubosumjem.
And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me: Cry out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great zeal.
15 Silno sem ogorčeno nezadovoljen s pogani, ki so oholi, kajti bil sem le malo nezadovoljen, oni pa so pomagali, da je stiska napredovala.‹«
And, with a great anger, I am angry with the wealthy nations. Though I had been angry a little, truly they advanced further in evil.
16 Zato tako govori Gospod: »Z usmiljenji sem se vrnil k Jeruzalemu. Moja hiša bo zgrajena v njem, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki »in [merilna] vrvica bo raztegnjena nad Jeruzalemom.
Because of this, thus says the Lord: I will be turned back, towards Jerusalem, with mercies; and my house will be built upon this, says the Lord of hosts. And the building line will be extended over Jerusalem.
17 Še kliči, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Moja mesta bodo prek blaginje še razširjena naokoli, in Gospod bo še potolažil Sion in bo še izbral Jeruzalem.‹«
Until then, cry out saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Until then, my cities will flow with good things, and, until then, the Lord will comfort Zion, and, until then, he will single out Jerusalem.
18 Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči in videl in glej, štirje rogovi.
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw. And behold: four horns.
19 Rekel sem angelu, ki je govoril z menoj: »Kaj so tile?« Odgovoril mi je: »Ti so rogovi, ki so razkropili Juda, Izraela in Jeruzalem.
And I said to the angel, who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah and Israel and Jerusalem.”
20 Gospod mi je pokazal štiri tesarje.
And the Lord showed me four workmen.
21 Potem sem rekel: »Kaj so ti prišli delat?« Spregovoril je, rekoč: »Ti so rogovi, ki so razkropili Juda, tako da noben človek ni vzdignil svoje glave, toda prišli so, da jih prestrašijo, da odbijejo rogove poganov, ki so svoje rogove povzdignili nad Judovo deželo, da jo razkropijo.«
And I said, “What have these come to do?” He spoke, saying, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah, through every single man, and none of them lifted up his head. And these have come to frighten them away, so as to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which have lifted up a horn over the land of Judah, so as to scatter it.”
