Zechariah 7
1 And it came about in the fourth year of King Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month Chislev.
Potom èetvrte godine cara Darija doðe rijeè Gospodnja Zahariji èetvrtoga dana devetoga mjeseca, Hasleva,
2 Now they of Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech to make a request for grace from the Lord,
Kad poslaše u dom Božji Sarasara i Regemeleha i ljude svoje da mole Gospoda,
3 And to say to the priests of the house of the Lord of armies and to the prophets, Am I to go on weeping in the fifth month, separating myself as I have done in past years?
I da govore sveštenicima, koji bijahu u domu Gospoda nad vojskama, i prorocima, i reku: hoæemo li plakati petoga mjeseca odvajajuæi se, kako èinismo veæ toliko godina?
4 Then the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying
I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
5 Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, When you went without food and gave yourselves to grief in the fifth and the seventh months for these seventy years, did you ever do it because of me?
Kaži svemu narodu zemaljskom i sveštenicima, i reci: kad postiste i tužiste petoga i sedmoga mjeseca za sedamdeset godina, eda li meni postiste?
6 And when you are feasting and drinking, are you not doing it only for yourselves?
A kad jedete i pijete, ne jedete li i ne pijete li sami?
7 Are not these the words which the Lord said to you by the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem was full of people and wealth, and the towns round about her and the South and the Lowland were peopled?
Nijesu li to rijeèi koje je Gospod proglasio preko preðašnjih proroka, kad Jerusalim bijaše naseljen i miran i gradovi njegovi oko njega, i kad bijaše naseljen južni kraj i ravnica?
8 And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,
Doðe rijeè Gospodnja Zahariji govoreæi:
9 This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your judging be upright and done in good faith, let every man have mercy and pity for his brother:
Ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: sudite pravo i budite milostivi i žalostivi jedan drugom.
10 Do not be hard on the widow, or the child without a father, on the man from a strange country, or on the poor; let there be no evil thought in your heart against your brother.
I ne èinite krivo udovici ni siroti, inostrancu ni siromahu, i ne mislite zlo jedan drugom u srcu svom.
11 But they would not give attention, turning their backs and stopping their ears from hearing;
Ali ne htješe slušati, i uzmakoše ramenom natrag, i zatiskoše uši svoje da ne èuju.
12 And they made their hearts like the hardest stone, so that they might not give ear to the law and the words which the Lord of armies had said by the earlier prophets: and there came great wrath from the Lord of armies.
I srcem svojim otvrdnuše kao dijamanat da ne èuju zakona i rijeèi koje sla Gospod nad vojskama duhom svojim preko proroka preðašnjih; zato doðe velik gnjev od Gospoda nad vojskama.
13 And it came about that as they would not give ear to his voice, so I would not give ear to their voice, says the Lord of armies:
Zato kao što on vika a oni ne slušaše, tako i oni vikaše a ja ih ne slušah, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
14 But with a storm-wind I sent them in flight among all the nations of whom they had no knowledge. So the land was waste after them, so that no man went through or came back: for they had made waste the desired land.
Nego ih razmetnuh vihorom po svijem narodima, kojih ne poznavaše, i zemlja opustje iza njih da niko u nju ne dohoðaše niti se iz nje vraæaše, i obratiše milu zemlju u pustoš.
