Zaharija 1
1 Osmoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve dođe riječ Jahvina proroku Zahariji, sinu Berekjinu, sinu Idonovu.
In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2 “Jahve se teško razgnjevio na oce vaše!
The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.
3 Zatim im reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Vratite se meni, i ja ću se vratiti vama' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.
4 'Ne budite poput svojih otaca koje su pozivali negdašnji proroci.' Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Vratite se sa zlih putova svojih i od zlih djela. Ali oni nisu slušali ni pazili na mene' - govori Jahve.
Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked thoughts. But they did not heed, and neither did they pay attention to me, says the Lord.
5 Gdje su sad oci vaši? Zar će dovijeka živjeti proroci?
Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?
6 Ali moje riječi i odredbe, koje sam naložio slugama svojim prorocima, nisu li stigle vaše oce? Oni se obratiše i priznaše: 'Jahve nad Vojskama učinio je s nama kako bijaše namislio učiniti prema našim putovima i našim djelima.'”
Yet truly my words and my lawfulness, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, were indeed comprehended by your fathers, and so they were converted, and they said: Just as the Lord of hosts decided to do to us, according to our ways and according to our inventions, so has he done to us.
7 Dvadeset i četvrtog dana, jedanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Šebat, druge godine Darijeve, dođe riječ Jahvina proroku Zahariji, sinu Berekjinu, sinu Idonovu.
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is called Shevat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 Imao sam noću viđenje. Gle, na riđanu čovjek jaše među mirtama koje imaju duboko korijenje, a iza njega konji riđi, smeđi i bijeli.
I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.
9 Upitah: “Koji su ovi, gospodaru?” Anđeo koji je sa mnom govorio reče mi: “Ja ću ti pokazati koji su.”
And I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me, “I will reveal to you what these are.”
10 Čovjek koji stajaše među mirtama odgovori: “Ovo su oni koje je poslao Jahve da obilaze zemlju.”
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth.”
11 Oni se obratiše anđelu Jahvinu, koji stajaše među mirtama, i kazaše: “Obišli smo zemlju, i gle: sva zemlja počiva i miruje.”
And those who stood among the myrtle trees answered the angel of the Lord, and they said, “We have walked through the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited and is at rest.”
12 Tada progovori anđeo Jahvin i reče: “Jahve nad Vojskama, kada ćeš se već jednom smilovati Jeruzalemu i gradovima judejskim na koje se već sedamdeset godina ljuto srdiš?”
And the angel of the Lord answered and said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry? This is now the seventieth year.”
13 A Jahve anđelu koji je govorio sa mnom odgovori utješnim riječima.
And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.
14 I anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom reče mi: “Objavi ovo: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Ljubavlju ljubomornom gorim za Jeruzalem i za Sion,
And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me: Cry out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great zeal.
15 a velikim gnjevom plamtim na ohole narode, jer kad se ono malo rasrdih, oni prijeđoše mjeru.'
And, with a great anger, I am angry with the wealthy nations. Though I had been angry a little, truly they advanced further in evil.
16 Zato ovako govori Jahve: 'Vraćam se Jeruzalemu s milosrđem; opet će u njemu sagraditi Dom moj' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - 'i opet će se u Jeruzalemu protezati uže mjeračko.'
Because of this, thus says the Lord: I will be turned back, towards Jerusalem, with mercies; and my house will be built upon this, says the Lord of hosts. And the building line will be extended over Jerusalem.
17 I ovo poruči: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: Moji će se gradovi opet prelijevati obiljem, i Jahve će utješiti Sion, izabrati Jeruzalem.'”
Until then, cry out saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Until then, my cities will flow with good things, and, until then, the Lord will comfort Zion, and, until then, he will single out Jerusalem.
18 Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: četiri roga.
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw. And behold: four horns.
19 Upitah anđela koji je govorio sa mnom: “Što je ovo?” On mi odgovori: “To su rogovi koji su raznijeli Judu, Izraela i Jeruzalem.”
And I said to the angel, who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah and Israel and Jerusalem.”
20 Onda mi Jahve pokaza četiri kovača.
And the Lord showed me four workmen.
21 A ja upitah: “Što su došli ovi raditi?” On mi odgovori: “Ono su rogovi koji su raznijeli Judu te se nitko više ne usuđuje dići glavu; a ovi su došli da ih zastraše i da slome rogove narodima koji podizahu rog na zemlju Judinu kako bi je raznijeli.”
And I said, “What have these come to do?” He spoke, saying, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah, through every single man, and none of them lifted up his head. And these have come to frighten them away, so as to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which have lifted up a horn over the land of Judah, so as to scatter it.”
