Zechariah, 12

1. The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. The Lord, stretching forth the heavens and founding the earth and forming the spirit of man within him, says:

1. Proroštvo. Besjeda Jahvina o Izraelu. Govori Jahve koji razape nebesa, utemelji zemlju i stvori dah èovjeku u grudima:

2. Behold, I will set Jerusalem as a lintel of the effects of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, yet even Judah will be in the blockade against Jerusalem.

2. "Evo, uèinit æu Jeruzalem èašom opojnom svim narodima uokolo - za opsade Jeruzalema.

3. And this shall be: In that day, I will set Jerusalem as a burdensome stone to every people. All who will lift it up will be torn to pieces. And all the kingdoms of the earth will be gathered together against her.

3. U onaj dan uèinit æu Jeruzalem teškim kamenom svim narodima: svi koji ga budu dizali teško æe se izraniti, a skupit æe se na nj svi narodi zemlje.

4. In that day, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with stupor and his rider with madness. And I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and I will strike every horse of the people with blindness.

4. U onaj dan - rijeè je Jahvina - udarit æu sve konje strahom, a njine jahaèe mahnitošæu. Ali nad domom Judinim otvorit æu oèi, a sljepilom æu udariti sve konje narodÄa.

5. And the governors of Judah will say in their heart, “Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me, in the Lord of hosts, their God.”

5. Tada æe u srcu reæi plemena Judina: 'Snaga je Jeruzalemaca u Jahvi nad Vojskama, Bogu njihovu!'

6. In that day, I will set the governors of Judah like a flaming furnace among wood, and like a flaming torch among hay. And they will devour, to the right and to the left, all the surrounding peoples. And Jerusalem will be inhabited again, in her own place, in Jerusalem.

6. U onaj dan uèinit æu da plemena Judina budu kao žeravnica užarena na drvlju, kao baklja upaljena na snoplju: i proždirat æe zdesna i slijeva sve narode uokolo. A Jeruzalem æe i dalje stajati na svome mjestu."

7. And the Lord will save the tabernacles of Judah, just as in the beginning, so that the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not glorify themselves boastfully against Judah.

7. Jahve æe najprije spasiti Judine šatore da se ponos doma Davidova i ponos Jeruzalemaca ne izdigne iznad Jude.

8. In that day, the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and even he who will have offended from them, in that day, will be like David, and the house of David will be like that of God, just like an angel of the Lord in their sight.

8. U onaj dan Jahve æe zakriliti Jeruzalemce: najsustaliji meðu njima bit æe u onaj dan kao David, a dom Davidov bit æe kao božanstvo, kao Anðeo Jahvin pred njima.

9. And this shall be in that day: I will seek to crush all the Gentiles that come against Jerusalem.

9. "U onaj dan pregnut æu da uništim sve narode koji doðu na Jeruzalem.

10. And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of prayers. And they will look upon me, whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son, and they will feel sorrow over him, as one would be sorrowful at the death of a firstborn.

10. A na dom Davidov i na Jeruzalemce izlit æu duh milosni i molitveni. I gledat æe na onoga koga su proboli; naricat æe nad njim kao nad jedincem, gorko ga oplakivati kao prvenca.

11. In that day, there will be a great lamentation in Jerusalem, like the lamentation of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

11. U onaj dan plaè velik æe nastati u Jeruzalemu, poput plaèa hadad-rimonskog u ravnici megidonskoj.

12. And the earth will mourn: families and families separately; the families of the house of David separately, and their women separately;

12. I plakat æe zemlja, svaka porodica napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica doma Davidova napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica doma Natanova napose, i žene njihove napose;

13. the families of the house of Nathan separately, and their women separately; the families of the house of Levi separately, and their women separately; the families of Shimei separately, and their women separately;

13. porodica doma Levijeva napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica Šimejeva napose, i žene njihove napose;

14. all the rest of the families, families and families separately, and their women separately.

14. i sve ostale porodice, svaka porodica za sebe, i žene njihove napose.
