Zechariah 2

Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: četiri roga.

I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

Upitah anđela koji je govorio sa mnom: "Što je ovo?" On mi odgovori: "To su rogovi koji su raznijeli Judu, Izraela i Jeruzalem."

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.

Onda mi Jahve pokaza četiri kovača.

And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,

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 said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:

Podigoh oči i vidjeh. I gle: čovjek, a u ruci mu mjeračko uže.

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

Upitah ga: "Kamo ideš?" Odgovori mi: "Da izmjerim Jeruzalem i da vidim koliko je širok a koliko dug."

Ho, ho, come forth, and 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.

I gle, anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom stajaše nepomično, a drugi mu iziđe u susret

Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

i reče mu: "Trči, reci onome mladiću ovako: Jeruzalem će biti kao otvoren grad radi mnoštva ljudi i stoke koji će biti u njemu.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

A ja ću mu - riječ je Jahvina - biti ognjen zid unaokolo i Slava njegova sred njega."

For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.

"Hej! Hej! Bježite iz zemlje sjeverne" - riječ je Jahvina - "jer u sva četiri vjetra nebeska razasuo sam vas" - riječ je Jahvina!

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.

"Hej, Sione, koji živiš kod kćeri babilonske, spasi se!"

And many nations shall be joined 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.

Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, čija me Slava izaslala k narodima koji su vas opljačkali: "Tko vas dira, dira mi zjenicu oka.

And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

Gle, ruku dižem na njih da plijenom budu svojim robovima." Znat ćete tako da me posla Jahve nad Vojskama! [ (Zechariah 2:14) "Kliči i raduj se, kćeri sionska, jer evo, dolazim usred tebe prebivat' - riječ je Jahvina. ] [ (Zechariah 2:15) U onaj dan mnogi će narodi uz Jahvu prionuti i bit će narod moj, a ja ću prebivati usred tebe." Znat ćeš tako da me tebi posla Jahve nad Vojskama. ] [ (Zechariah 2:16) I Judeja će biti baština Jahvina, njegov dio u Svetoj zemlji, i on će opet izabrati Jeruzalem. ] [ (Zechariah 2:17) Tiho, ljudi svi, pred Jahvom, jer, evo, on ustaje iz svetoga Prebivališta svojega! ]

Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
