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 Darius, this message of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo:
2 » Gospod je bil ogorčeno nezadovoljen z vašimi očeti.
The Lord was furious with your ancestors.
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.
So tell the people this message of the Lord of hosts: “Return to me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return 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 ancestors to whom the former prophets cried, ‘The Lord of hosts says to turn now from your evil ways, and from your evil deeds’. They did not heed nor listen to me,” says the Lord.
5 ›Vaši očetje, kje so? In preroki, mar večno živijo?
“Your ancestors, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
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.‹«
But did not my words and my statutes with which I charged my servants the prophets overtake your ancestors? And they repented and said, ‘Just as the Lord of hosts planned to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our deeds, so he has dealt with 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:
In the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, this message of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo:
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 in the night a man on a red horse, among the myrtle trees that were in the valley-bottom. Behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, 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.«
Then said I, “My Lord, what are these?” And the messenger who was talking with me said, “I will show you what they 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 who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, “They are those whom the Lord has sent to patrol 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 the riders answered the messenger of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have gone up and down through the world and behold, all the earth is still and at peace.”
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?«
Then the messenger of the Lord said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you have no pity for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah with which you have been angry for seventy years?”
13 Gospod je odgovoril angelu, ki je govoril z menoj, z dobrimi besedami in tolažilnimi besedami.
And the Lord answered the messenger who was talking with me with kind and comforting 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.
So the messenger who was talking with me said to me, “Proclaim now that the Lord of hosts says: I am deeply concerned for Jerusalem.
15 Silno sem ogorčeno nezadovoljen s pogani, ki so oholi, kajti bil sem le malo nezadovoljen, oni pa so pomagali, da je stiska napredovala.‹«
But I am deeply angry with the arrogant, complacent nations. I was only a little angry with Israel but they made the suffering worse.
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.
Therefore, says the Lord, I am turning to show mercy to Jerusalem. My temple will be rebuilt in it, says the Lord of hosts, and a measuring line will be stretched 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.‹«
Proclaim again: Thus says the Lord of hosts: My cities will again overflow with prosperity and the Lord will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.”
18 Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči in videl in glej, štirje rogovi.
Now I looked up and saw 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.
I said to the messenger who was talking with me, “What are these?” He answered, “These are the horns which scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.”
20 Gospod mi je pokazal štiri tesarje.
Then the Lord showed me four smiths.
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.«
I said, “What are these coming to do?” He answered, “The horns scattered Judah, so that no one dared lift their head. But the smiths have come to terrify them, to crush the horns of the nations which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter its people.”
