< Zacharias 12 >

1 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel; saith the Lord, that stretches out the sky, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.
»Breme o Gospodovi besedi za Izrael, « govori Gospod, ki razprostira nebo in polaga temelj zemlji in oblikuje človeškega duha znotraj njega.
2 Behold, I [will] make Jerusalem as trembling door-posts to all the nations round about, and in Judea there shall be a siege against Jerusalem.
»Glej, Jeruzalem bom naredil čašo trepetanja vsemu ljudstvu naokoli, ko bodo v obleganju tako zoper Juda in zoper Jeruzalem.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will make Jerusalem a trodden stone to all the nations: every one that tramples on it shall utterly mock at [it], and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.
Na tisti dan bom naredil [prestolnico] Jeruzalem obremenilni kamen za vse ljudstvo. Vsi, ki se bremenijo s tem, bodo razsekani na koščke, čeprav bo vse ljudstvo zemlje zbrano zoper njo.
4 In that day, saith the Lord Almighty, I will smite every horse with amazement, and his rider with madness: but I will open mine eyes upon the house of Juda, and I will smite all the horses of the nations with blindness.
Na tisti dan, « govori Gospod, »bom vsakega konja udaril z osuplostjo in njegovega jezdeca z norostjo in svoje oči bom odprl nad Judovo hišo in vsakega konja ljudstva bom udaril s slepoto.
5 And the captains of thousands of Juda shall say in their hearts, We shall find for ourselves the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the Lord Almighty their God.
Voditelji Juda bodo v svojem srcu rekli: ›Prebivalci Jeruzalema bodo moja moč v Gospodu nad bojevniki, njihovem Bogu.‹
6 In that day I will make the captains of thousands of Juda as a firebrand among wood, and as a torch of fire in stubble; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the nations round about: and Jerusalem shall dwell again by herself, [even] in Jerusalem.
Na tisti dan bom naredil voditelje Juda kakor ognjeno ognjišče med lesom in ognjeno baklo v snopu in použili bodo vse ljudstvo naokoli, na desni roki in na levi in Jeruzalem bo ponovno naseljen na svojem lastnem kraju, celó v Jeruzalemu.
7 And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda as at the beginning, that the boast of the house of David, and the pride of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not magnify themselves against Juda.
Gospod bo tudi najprej rešil Judove šotore, da se slava Davidove hiše in slava prebivalcev Jeruzalema ne bo poveličevala zoper Juda.
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the weak one among them in that day shall be as David, and the house of David as the house of God, as the angel of the Lord before them.
Na tisti dan bo Gospod branil prebivalce Jeruzalema. Kdor bo na tisti dan med njimi slaboten, bo kakor David in Davidova hiša bo kakor Bog, kakor Gospodov angel pred njimi.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
In zgodilo se bo na tisti dan, da si bom prizadeval uničiti vse narode, ki pridejo zoper Jeruzalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon me, because they have mocked [me], and they shall make lamentation for him, as for a beloved [friend], and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn [son].
Na Davidovo hišo in na prebivalce Jeruzalema bom izlil duha milosti in ponižnih prošenj in gledali bodo name, ki so ga prebodli in žalovali bodo za njim, kakor nekdo žaluje za svojim edinim sinom in v grenkobi bodo za njim, kakor nekdo, ki je v grenkobi zaradi svojega prvorojenca.
11 In that day the lamentation in Jerusalem shall be very great, as the mourning for the pomegranate grove cut down in the plain.
Na tisti dan bo v Jeruzalemu veliko žalovanje, kakor žalovanje za Hadád Rimónom v dolini Megído.
12 And the land shall lament in separate families, the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
Dežela bo žalovala, vsaka družina posebej; družina Davidove hiše posebej in njihove žene posebej, družina Natánove hiše posebej in njihove žene posebej,
13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Symeon by itself, and their wives by themselves;
družina Lévijeve hiše posebej in njihove žene posebej, Šimíjeva družina posebej in njihove žene posebej.
14 all the families that are left, each family by itself, and their wives by themselves.
Vse družine, ki preostanejo, vsaka družina posebej in njihove žene posebej.«
