< Zechariah 1 >

1 The Lord sent a message to Zechariah the prophet, son of Berekiah, son of Iddo, in the eighth month of the second year of king Darius' reign, saying:
Astotā mēnesī, Dārija otrā gadā, Tā Kunga vārds notika uz pravieti Zahariju, Bereķijas, Idus dēla, dēlu, sacīdams:
2 The Lord was very angry with your forefathers.
Tas Kungs dusmodamies dusmojies par jūsu tēviem.
3 So tell the people this: Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty.
Tāpēc saki uz tiem: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: atgriežaties atkal pie Manis, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, tad Es atkal griezīšos pie jums, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
4 You must not be like your forefathers. They were told by previous prophets: Give up your evil ways, and the evil things you do. But they would not listen or pay any attention to me, says the Lord.
Neesiet kā jūsu tēvi, uz ko tie pirmie pravieši sauca un sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: atgriežaties jel no saviem ļauniem ceļiem un saviem ļauniem darbiem! Bet tie neklausīja un Mani neņēma vērā, saka Tas Kungs.
5 Where are your forefathers now? And the prophets, did they live forever?
Jūsu tēvi, kur tie ir? Un tie pravieši, vai tie var mūžīgi dzīvot?
6 But didn't all my instructions and warnings that I ordered my servants the prophets to communicate, didn't all that I said happen to your forefathers? So they repented and said, “What the Lord Almighty planned to do to us was what we deserved because of our ways and our actions. He did what he said he would.”
Bet Mani vārdi un Mani likumi, ko Es biju pavēlējis Saviem kalpiem, tiem praviešiem, vai tie nav nākuši pār jūsu tēviem? Tā ka tie atgriezdamies sacīja: tā kā Tas Kungs Cebaot bija nodomājis mums darīt pēc mūsu ceļiem un pēc mūsu darbiem, tā Viņš mums ir darījis.
7 The Lord sent a message to Zechariah the prophet, son of Berekiah, son of Iddo, on the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month (the month of Shebat) of the second year of king Darius' reign:
Divdesmit ceturtā dienā, vienpadsmitā mēnesī, tas bija Zebat mēnesis, Dārija otrā gadā, Tā Kunga vārds notika uz pravieti Zahariju, Bereķijas, Idus dēla, dēlu, sacīdams:
8 During the night I saw a man sitting on a red horse that stood among some myrtle trees in a narrow valley. Behind him were red, brown, and white horses with their riders.
Es redzēju naktī un raugi, vīrs jāja uz sarkana zirga, un tas stāvēja starp mirtēm ielejā, un aiz viņa bija sarkani, bēri un balti zirgi.
9 I asked him, “My lord, what are these?” The angel I was talking to replied, “I will show you.”
Tad es sacīju: mans kungs, kas tie tādi? Un tas eņģelis, kas ar mani runāja, sacīja uz mani: es tev rādīšu, kas šie tādi.
10 The man who was there among the myrtle trees said, “These are the ones the Lord has sent out to patrol the earth.”
Tad tas vīrs, kas stāvēja starp tām mirtēm, atbildēja un sacīja: šie ir tie, ko Tas Kungs izsūtījis, pārstaigāt zemi.
11 The riders reported to the angel of the Lord who was among the myrtle trees, “We have been patrolling the earth and saw that the whole earth has been pacified.”
Un tie atbildēja Tā Kunga eņģelim, kas stāvēja starp tām mirtēm, un sacīja: mēs zemi esam pārstaigājuši, un redzi, visa zeme ir klusa un mierā.
12 Then the angel of the Lord said, “Lord Almighty, how long will it be before you have mercy on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah which you have been angry with for the past seventy years?”
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis atbildēja un sacīja: Kungs Cebaot! Cik ilgi Tu neapžēlosies par Jeruzālemi un par Jūda pilsētām, par kurām Tu esi dusmojies šos septiņdesmit gadus?
13 So the Lord replied to the angel I was talking to with kind and comforting words.
Un Tas Kungs tam eņģelim, kas ar mani runāja, atbildēja labus vārdus, prieka vārdus.
14 Then the angel I was talking with told me, This is what you are to announce. The Lord Almighty says this: I am jealously protective of Jerusalem and Mount Zion,
Un tas eņģelis, kas ar mani runāja, sacīja uz mani: sludini un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: Es esmu iekarsis par Jeruzālemi un par Ciānu ar lielu karstumu.
15 and I am extremely angry with the arrogant nations who think they are secure. I was only a little angry with my people, but they made the punishment far worse.
Un ar lielām dusmām Es dusmojos par tiem drošiem pagāniem, jo Es biju maķenīt dusmīgs, bet tie palīdzēja uz ļaunumu.
16 Therefore this is what the Lord says: I have returned to be merciful to Jerusalem. My Temple shall be rebuilt there, as well as the city, declares the Lord Almighty.
Tāpēc tā saka Tas Kungs: Es atgriezīšos uz Jeruzālemi ar apžēlošanu, Mans nams tur taps uztaisīts, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, un mēra auklu vilks pār Jeruzālemi.
17 Announce this as well, says the Lord Almighty: Prosperity will flood out of my cities. I the Lord will comfort Zion, and Jerusalem will be my chosen city.
Sludini vēl un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: Manām pilsētām atkal labi klāsies, jo Tas Kungs atkal iepriecinās Ciānu un atkal izredzēs Jeruzālemi. -
18 Then I looked and saw four animal horns.
Un es pacēlu savas acis un skatījos, un redzi, tur bija četri ragi.
19 “What are these?” I asked the angel I was talking to. “These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem,” he replied.
Un es sacīju uz to eņģeli, kas ar mani runāja: kas tie tādi? Un viņš sacīja uz mani: šie ir tie ragi, kas izkaisījuši Jūdu un Israēli un Jeruzālemi.
20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen.
Un Tas Kungs man rādīja četrus kalējus.
21 “What are these men coming to do?” I asked. The angel replied, “The four horns—these nations—scattered Judah, humbling the people so that they could not lift up their heads. These craftsmen have to come to terrify these nations, and to destroy them—those who used their power against the land of Judah, scattering the people.”
Tad es sacīju: ko tie nāk darīt? Un viņš runāja un sacīja: še ir tie ragi, kas Jūdu izkaisījuši, tā ka neviens savu galvu nepaceļ, bet šie ir nākuši tos biedināt un nosist zemē ragus tiem pagāniem, kas bija ragu pacēluši pret Jūda zemi, to izkaisīt. -
