1In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
1Ôsmeho mesiaca, druhého roku Dária stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Zachariášovi, synovi Berechiáša, syna Iddovho, prorokovi, povediac:
2Jehovah was sore displeased with your fathers.
2Hospodin sa bol veľmi rozhneval na vašich otcov.
3Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Return unto me, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
3Ale povieš im: Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Navráťte sa ku mne, hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, a navrátim sa k vám, hovorí Hospodin Zástupov.
4Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith Jehovah.
4Nebuďte jako vaši otcovia, na ktorých volávali drievni proroci a vraveli: Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Nože sa navráťte od svojich zlých ciest a od svojich zlých skutkov, ale neposlúchli ani nepozorovali ušami na mňa, hovorí Hospodin.
5Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
5Vaši otcovia, kde sú? A proroci, či azda budú žiť na veky?
6But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
6Ale moje slová a moje ustanovenia, ktoré som prikázal svojim služobníkom prorokom, či nestihly vašich otcov? Takže sa obrátili a riekli: Jako nám zamýšľal učiniť Hospodin Zástupov, podľa našich ciest a podľa našich skutkov, tak učinil s nami.
7Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
7Dvadsiateho a štvrtého dňa, jedenásteho mesiaca (to je mesiac Šebát), druhého roku Dária stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Zachariášovi, synovi Berechiáša, syna Iddovho, prorokovi, takto:
8I saw in the night, and, behold, a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the bottom; and behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.
8Videl som vnoci a hľa, nejaký muž sedel na červenom koni a stál medzi myrtami, ktoré sú v doline, a za ním červené kone, strakaté a biele.
9Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these are.
9A povedal som: Čo a kto sú títo, pane? A anjel, ktorý hovoril so mnou, mi riekol: Ja ti ukážem, čo a kto sú títo.
10And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
10A muž, ktorý stál medzi myrtami, odpovedal a riekol: Toto sú tí, ktorých poslal Hospodin pochodiť zem.
11And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
11A odpovedali anjelovi Hospodinovmu, ktorý stál medzi myrtami, a riekli: Pochodili sme zem, a hľa, celá zem býva a je na pokoji.
12Then the angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
12Na to odpovedal anjel Hospodinov a riekol: Hospodine Zástupov, až dokedy sa ty nezľutuješ na Jeruzalemom a nad mestami Júdovými, na ktoré si sa hneval toto už sedemdesiat rokov?
13And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me with good words, [even] comfortable words.
13A Hospodin odpovedal anjelovi, ktorý hovoril so mnou, dobré slová, potešiteľné slová.
14So the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
14Vtedy mi odpovedal anjel, ktorý hovoril so mnou: Volaj a povedz: Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Žiarlim za Jeruzalem a za Sion veľkou žiarlivosťou
15And I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
15a hnevám sa veľmi na tie národy, ktoré majú taký pokoj, pretože ja som sa hneval len trochu málo, a oni pomáhali k zlému.
16Therefore thus saith Jehovah: I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
16Preto takto hovorí Hospodin: Navrátim sa do Jeruzalema v zľutovaní; môj dom bude vystavený v ňom, hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, a merná šnúra bude roztiahnutá na Jeruzalem.
17Cry yet again, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity; and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
17Volaj ešte a povedz: Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Ešte sa rozpŕchnu moje mestá pre hojnosť dobrého, a ešte poteší Hospodin Sion a ešte si vyvolí Jeruzalem.
18And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns.
18Vtedy pozdvihnúc svoje oči videl som a hľa, štyri rohy.
19And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
19A povedal som anjelovi, ktorý hovoril so mnou: Čo sú to jaké rohy? A riekol mi: To sú rohy, ktoré rozohnaly Júdu, Izraela a Jeruzalem.
20And Jehovah showed me four smiths.
20Potom mi ukázal Hospodin štyroch kováčov.
21Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head; but these are come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
21A povedal som: Čo idú títo robiť? A riekol: Toto sú rohy, ktoré rozohnaly Júdu, takže nikto nepozdvihol svojej hlavy, a títo prišli, aby ich prestrašili, aby srazili rohy národov, ktoré pozdvihly roh proti zemi Júdovej, aby ju rozohnaly.
