Zechariah, 2

1. And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.

1. Podigoh oèi i vidjeh. I gle: èetiri roga.

2. And I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, so that I may see how great its width and how great its length may be.”

2. Upitah anðela koji je govorio sa mnom: "Što je ovo?" On mi odgovori: "To su rogovi koji su raznijeli Judu, Izraela i Jeruzalem."

3. And behold, the angel, who had been speaking with me, departed, and another angel went out to meet him.

3. Onda mi Jahve pokaza èetiri kovaèa.

4. And he said to him: Hurry, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and beasts of burden in its midst.

4. A ja upitah: "Što su došli ovi raditi?" On mi odgovori: "Ono su rogovi koji su raznijeli Judu te se nitko više ne usuðuje diæi glavu; a ovi su došli da ih zastraše i da slome rogove narodima koji podizahu rog na zemlju Judinu kako bi je raznijeli."

5. And I will be to it, says the Lord, a wall of fire all around. And in glory, I will be in its midst.

5. Podigoh oèi i vidjeh. I gle: èovjek, a u ruci mu mjeraèko uže.

6. O, O flee from the land of the North, says the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.

6. Upitah ga: "Kamo ideš?" Odgovori mi: "Da izmjerim Jeruzalem i da vidim koliko je širok a koliko dug."

7. O Zion, flee, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.

7. I gle, anðeo koji je govorio sa mnom stajaše nepomièno, a drugi mu iziðe u susret

8. For thus says the Lord of hosts: After the glory, he has sent me to the Gentiles, which have despoiled you. For he who touches you, touches the pupil of my eye.

8. i reèe mu: "Trèi, reci onome mladiæu ovako: Jeruzalem æe biti kao otvoren grad radi mnoštva ljudi i stoke koji æe biti u njemu.

9. For behold, I lift up my hand over them, and they will be a prey to those who had served them. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.

9. A ja æu mu - rijeè je Jahvina - biti ognjen zid unaokolo i Slava njegova sred njega."

10. Sing praise and rejoice, daughter of Zion. For behold, I approach, and I will dwell in your midst, says the Lord.

10. "Hej! Hej! Bježite iz zemlje sjeverne" - rijeè je Jahvina - "jer u sva èetiri vjetra nebeska razasuo sam vas" - rijeè je Jahvina!

11. And many nations will be joined to the Lord in that day, and they will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.

11. "Hej, Sione, koji živiš kod kæeri babilonske, spasi se!"

12. And the Lord will possess his portion, Judah, in the sanctified land, and still he will single out Jerusalem.

12. Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, èija me Slava izaslala k narodima koji su vas opljaèkali: "Tko vas dira, dira mi zjenicu oka.

13. Let all flesh be silent before the face of the Lord: for he has arisen from his holy dwelling place.

13. Gle, ruku dižem na njih da plijenom budu svojim robovima." Znat æete tako da me posla Jahve nad Vojskama!

14.

14. "Klièi i raduj se, kæeri sionska, jer evo, dolazim usred tebe prebivat' - rijeè je Jahvina.

15.

15. U onaj dan mnogi æe narodi uz Jahvu prionuti i bit æe narod moj, a ja æu prebivati usred tebe." Znat æeš tako da me tebi posla Jahve nad Vojskama.

16.

16. I Judeja æe biti baština Jahvina, njegov dio u Svetoj zemlji, i on æe opet izabrati Jeruzalem.

17.

17. Tiho, ljudi svi, pred Jahvom, jer, evo, on ustaje iz svetoga Prebivališta svojega!
