Zaharija 2

1 Ponovno sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, mož z merilno vrvico v svoji roki.

And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 Potem sem rekel: »Kam greš?« Rekel mi je: »Da izmerim Jeruzalem, da vidim kakšna je njegova širina in kakšna je njegova dolžina.«

And I said, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

3 Glej, angel, ki je govoril z menoj, je šel naprej in drug angel je odšel ven, da ga sreča

And behold, the angel that talked with me went forth; and another angel went forth to meet him,

4 ter mu rekel: »Teci, govori temu mladeniču, rekoč: › [Prestolnica] Jeruzalem bo naseljena kakor mesta brez zidov, zaradi množice ljudi in živine v njej.‹

and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein;

5 Kajti jaz, « govori Gospod, »ji bom ognjen zid vsenaokrog in bom slava v njeni sredi.

and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

6 Hej, hej, pridite in pobegnite iz severne dežele, « govori Gospod, »kajti razkropil sem vas naokrog kakor štiri vetrove neba, « govori Gospod.

Ho, ho! flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah.

7 »Osvobodi se, oh Sion, ki prebivaš z babilonsko hčerjo.«

Ho! escape, Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

8 Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Za slavo me je poslal k narodom, ki so vas plenili. Kajti kdor se dotakne vas, se dotakne punčice njegovega očesa.

For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

9 Kajti glej, svojo roko bom stresel nad njimi in postali bodo plen svojim služabnikom in vedeli boste, da me je poslal Gospod nad bojevniki.

For behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall become a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me.

10 Prepevaj in razveseljuj se, oh hči sionska, kajti glej, prihajam in prebival bom v tvoji sredi, « govori Gospod.

Sing aloud and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.

11 »Na tisti dan bodo številni narodi pridruženi h Gospodu in bodo moje ljudstvo in jaz bom prebival v tvoji sredi in vedela boš, da me je Gospod nad bojevniki poslal k tebi.

And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be unto me for a people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

12 Gospod bo podedoval Juda in njegov delež v sveti deželi in ponovno bo izbral Jeruzalem.

And Jehovah shall inherit Judah [as] his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

13 Molči, oh vse meso, pred Gospodom, kajti vzdignjen je iz svojega svetega prebivališča.«

Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah; for he is risen up out of his holy habitation.
