Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up my 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 I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
Potem sem rekel: »Kam greš?« Rekel mi je: »Da izmerim Jeruzalem, da vidim kakšna je njegova širina in kakšna je njegova dolžina.«
3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, 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 to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
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,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.
Kajti jaz, « govori Gospod, »ji bom ognjen zid vsenaokrog in bom slava v njeni sredi.
6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ 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 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
»Osvobodi se, oh Sion, ki prebivaš z babilonsko hčerjo.«
8 For the LORD of Hosts says: ‘For honour he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches 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 my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who 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 and rejoice, daughter of Zion! For behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.
Prepevaj in razveseljuj se, oh hči sionska, kajti glej, prihajam in prebival bom v tvoji sredi, « govori Gospod.
11 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell amongst you, and you shall 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 The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again 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 has roused himself from his holy habitation!”
Molči, oh vse meso, pred Gospodom, kajti vzdignjen je iz svojega svetega prebivališča.«
