Zacharias 2
1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: čovjek, a u ruci mu mjeračko uže.
2 And I said to him, Whither go you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.
Upitah ga: “Kamo ideš?” Odgovori mi: “Da izmjerim Jeruzalem i da vidim koliko je širok a koliko dug.”
3 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood [by], and another angel went forth to meet him,
I gle, anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom stajaše nepomično, a drugi mu iziđe u susret
4 and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and cattle in the midst of her.
i reče mu: “Trči, reci onome mladiću ovako: Jeruzalem će biti kao otvoren grad radi mnoštva ljudi i stoke koji će biti u njemu.
5 And I will be to her, says the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I will be for a glory in the midst of her.
A ja ću mu - riječ je Jahvina - biti ognjen zid unaokolo i Slava njegova sred njega.”
6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, says the Lord,
“Hej! Hej! Bježite iz zemlje sjeverne” - riječ je Jahvina - “jer u sva četiri vjetra nebeska razasuo sam vas” - riječ je Jahvina!
7 [even] to Sion: deliver yourselves, you that dwell [with] the daughter of Babylon.
“Hej, Sione, koji živiš kod kćeri babilonske, spasi se!”
8 For thus says the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that touches the apple of his eye.
Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, čija me Slava izaslala k narodima koji su vas opljačkali: “Tko vas dira, dira mi zjenicu oka.
9 For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.
Gle, ruku dižem na njih da plijenom budu svojim robovima.” Znat ćete tako da me posla Jahve nad Vojskama!
10 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord.
“Kliči i raduj se, kćeri sionska, jer evo, dolazim usred tebe prebivat' - riječ je Jahvina.
11 And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of you: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
U onaj dan mnogi će narodi uz Jahvu prionuti i bit će narod moj, a ja ću prebivati usred tebe.” Znat ćeš tako da me tebi posla Jahve nad Vojskama.
12 And the Lord shall inherit Juda his portion in the holy [land], and he will yet choose Jerusalem.
I Judeja će biti baština Jahvina, njegov dio u Svetoj zemlji, i on će opet izabrati Jeruzalem.
13 Let all flesh fear before the Lord: for he has risen up from his holy clouds.
Tiho, ljudi svi, pred Jahvom, jer, evo, on ustaje iz svetoga Prebivališta svojega!
