Zechariah 2
1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Ponovno sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, mož z merilno vrvico v svoji roki.
2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
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 that talked with me went forth, 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 said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.
ter mu rekel: »Teci, govori temu mladeniču, rekoč: › [Prestolnica] Jeruzalem bo naseljena kakor mesta brez zidov, zaradi množice ljudi in živine v njej.‹
5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
Kajti jaz, « govori Gospod, »ji bom ognjen zid vsenaokrog in bom slava v njeni sredi.
6 Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
Hej, hej, pridite in pobegnite iz severne dežele, « govori Gospod, »kajti razkropil sem vas naokrog kakor štiri vetrove neba, « govori Gospod.
7 Ho Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
»Osvobodi se, oh Sion, ki prebivaš z babilonsko hčerjo.«
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts: After glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his 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 will shake mine hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath 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 and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
Prepevaj in razveseljuj se, oh hči sionska, kajti glej, prihajam in prebival bom v tvoji sredi, « govori Gospod.
11 And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
»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 shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Gospod bo podedoval Juda in njegov delež v sveti deželi in ponovno bo izbral Jeruzalem.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD: for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.
Molči, oh vse meso, pred Gospodom, kajti vzdignjen je iz svojega svetega prebivališča.«
