Zaharija 8
1 Ponovno je prišla k meni beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
2 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Z velikim ljubosumjem sem bil ljubosumen zaradi Siona in zaradi njega sem bil ljubosumen s silno razjarjenostjo.‹
Yahweh of Armies says: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
3 Tako govori Gospod: ›Vrnem se k Sionu in prebival bom v sredi Jeruzalema in Jeruzalem bo imenovan mesto resnice in gora Gospoda nad bojevniki sveta gora.‹
Yahweh says: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of Yahweh of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’”
4 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še bodo starci in starke prebivali na ulicah Jeruzalema in vsak mož s svojo palico v svoji roki zaradi visoke starosti.
Yahweh of Armies says: “Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand because of their old age.
5 Ulice mesta bodo polne fantov in deklet, ki se bodo igrali na ulicah le-tega.‹
The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”
6 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Če je to čudovito v očeh preostanka tega ljudstva v tistih dneh, mar ne bi bilo čudovito tudi v mojih očeh?‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
Yahweh of Armies says: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?” says Yahweh of Armies.
7 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Glej, rešil bom svoje ljudstvo iz vzhodne dežele in iz zahodne dežele
Yahweh of Armies says: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country.
8 in privedel jih bom in prebivali bodo v sredi Jeruzalema. In oni bodo moje ljudstvo in jaz bom njihov Bog v resnici in v pravičnosti.‹
I will bring them, and they will dwell within Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”
9 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Naj bodo vaše roke močne, vi, ki v teh dneh slišite te besede po ustih prerokov, ki so bili na dan, ko je bil položen temelj hiše Gospoda nad bojevniki, da bi bil tempelj lahko zgrajen.
Yahweh of Armies says: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Yahweh of Armies was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
10 Kajti pred temi dnevi ni bilo plačila za moža niti kateregakoli plačila za žival; niti zaradi stiske ni bilo nobenega miru tistemu, ki je odhajal ali prihajal, kajti vse ljudi sem naravnal, vsakega zoper svojega soseda.
For before those days there was no wages for man nor any wages for an animal, neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.
11 Toda sedaj preostanku tega ljudstva ne bom kakor v prejšnjih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says Yahweh of Armies.
12 ›Kajti seme bo uspešno; trta bo dajala svoj sad in tla bodo dajala svoj prirastek in nebo bo dajalo svojo roso. In preostanku tega ljudstva bom povzročil, da vzamejo v last vse te stvari.
“For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew. I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
13 In zgodilo se bo, da kakor ste bili prekletstvo med pogani, oh hiša Judova in hiša Izraelova, tako vas bom rešil in boste blagoslov. Ne bojte se, temveč naj bodo vaše roke močne.
It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”
14 Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Kakor sem vas mislil kaznovati, ko so me vaši očetje dražili do besa, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki in se nisem pokesal,
For Yahweh of Armies says: “As I thought to do evil to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I didn’t repent,
15 tako sem v teh dneh ponovno mislil, da storim dobro Jeruzalemu in Judovi hiši. Ne bojte se.
so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
16 To so stvari, ki jih boste storili: ›Govorite vsak človek resnico svojemu sosedu; izvršujte sodbo resnice in miru v svojih velikih vratih
These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,
17 in naj si nihče izmed vas v svojih srcih ne domišlja zla zoper svojega soseda in ne ljubite krive prisege, kajti vse to so stvari, ki jih sovražim, ‹ govori Gospod.«
and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath; for all these are things that I hate,” says Yahweh.
18 Prišla mi je beseda Gospoda nad bojevniki, rekoč:
The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
19 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Post četrtega meseca, post petega, post sedmega in post desetega bo Judovi hiši radost in veselje in vedre gostije, zato ljubite resnico in mir.‹
Yahweh of Armies says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”
20 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Še se bo zgodilo, da bodo prihajala ljudstva in prebivalci mnogih mest
Yahweh of Armies says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come.
21 in prebivalci enega mesta bodo šli k drugemu, rekoč: ›Pojdimo naglo, da molimo pred Gospodom in da iščemo Gospoda nad bojevniki.‹ ›Tudi jaz bom šel.‹«
The inhabitants of one will go to another, saying, ‘Let’s go speedily to entreat the favor of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of Armies. I will go also.’
22 Da, številna ljudstva in močni narodi bodo prišli, da iščejo Gospoda nad bojevniki v Jeruzalemu in da molijo pred Gospodom.
Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.”
23 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »V tistih dneh se bo zgodilo, da bo deset mož iz vseh jezikov narodov prijelo tistega, ki je Jud in celo prijelo krajec njegovega oblačila, rekoč: ›Šli bomo s teboj, kajti slišali smo, da je z vami Bog.‹«
Yahweh of Armies says: “In those days, ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
