Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line.
Ponovno sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, mož z merilno vrvico v svoji roki.
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.”
Potem sem rekel: »Kam greš?« Rekel mi je: »Da izmerim Jeruzalem, da vidim kakšna je njegova širina in kakšna je njegova dolžina.«
3 And behold, the angel, who had been speaking with me, departed, and another angel went out to meet him.
Glej, angel, ki je govoril z menoj, je šel naprej in drug angel je odšel ven, da ga sreča
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.
ter mu rekel: »Teci, govori temu mladeniču, rekoč: › [Prestolnica] Jeruzalem bo naseljena kakor mesta brez zidov, zaradi množice ljudi in živine v njej.‹
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.
Kajti jaz, « govori Gospod, »ji bom ognjen zid vsenaokrog in bom slava v njeni sredi.
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.
Hej, hej, pridite in pobegnite iz severne dežele, « govori Gospod, »kajti razkropil sem vas naokrog kakor štiri vetrove neba, « govori Gospod.
7 O Zion, flee, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
»Osvobodi se, oh Sion, ki prebivaš z babilonsko hčerjo.«
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.
Kajti tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: »Za slavo me je poslal k narodom, ki so vas plenili. Kajti kdor se dotakne vas, se dotakne punčice njegovega očesa.
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.
Kajti glej, svojo roko bom stresel nad njimi in postali bodo plen svojim služabnikom in vedeli boste, da me je poslal Gospod nad bojevniki.
10 Sing praise and rejoice, daughter of Zion. For behold, I approach, and I will dwell in your midst, says the Lord.
Prepevaj in razveseljuj se, oh hči sionska, kajti glej, prihajam in prebival bom v tvoji sredi, « govori Gospod.
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.
»Na tisti dan bodo številni narodi pridruženi h Gospodu in bodo moje ljudstvo in jaz bom prebival v tvoji sredi in vedela boš, da me je Gospod nad bojevniki poslal k tebi.
12 And the Lord will possess his portion, Judah, in the sanctified land, and still he will single out Jerusalem.
Gospod bo podedoval Juda in njegov delež v sveti deželi in ponovno bo izbral Jeruzalem.
13 Let all flesh be silent before the face of the Lord: for he has arisen from his holy dwelling place.
Molči, oh vse meso, pred Gospodom, kajti vzdignjen je iz svojega svetega prebivališča.«
