¹An oracle. The word of Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

¹Proroštvo. Besjeda Jahvina o Izraelu. Govori Jahve koji razape nebesa, utemelji zemlju i stvori dah čovjeku u grudima:

²“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and on Judah also will it be in the siege against Jerusalem.

²"Evo, učinit ću Jeruzalem čašom opojnom svim narodima uokolo - za opsade Jeruzalema.

³It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.

³U onaj dan učinit ću Jeruzalem teškim kamenom svim narodima: svi koji ga budu dizali teško će se izraniti, a skupit će se na nj svi narodi zemlje.

⁴In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

⁴U onaj dan - riječ je Jahvina - udarit ću sve konje strahom, a njine jahače mahnitošću. Ali nad domom Judinim otvorit ću oči, a sljepilom ću udariti sve konje narodÄa.

⁵The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Yahweh of Armies their God.’

⁵Tada će u srcu reći plemena Judina: 'Snaga je Jeruzalemaca u Jahvi nad Vojskama, Bogu njihovu!'

⁶In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.

⁶U onaj dan učinit ću da plemena Judina budu kao žeravnica užarena na drvlju, kao baklja upaljena na snoplju: i proždirat će zdesna i slijeva sve narode uokolo. A Jeruzalem će i dalje stajati na svome mjestu."

⁷Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.

⁷Jahve će najprije spasiti Judine šatore da se ponos doma Davidova i ponos Jeruzalemaca ne izdigne iznad Jude.

⁸In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh before them.

⁸U onaj dan Jahve će zakriliti Jeruzalemce: najsustaliji među njima bit će u onaj dan kao David, a dom Davidov bit će kao božanstvo, kao Anđeo Jahvin pred njima.

⁹It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

⁹"U onaj dan pregnut ću da uništim sve narode koji dođu na Jeruzalem.

¹⁰I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me After “me,” the Hebrew has the two letters “Aleph Tav” (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet), not as a word, but as a grammatical marker. whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

¹⁰A na dom Davidov i na Jeruzalemce izlit ću duh milosni i molitveni. I gledat će na onoga koga su proboli; naricat će nad njim kao nad jedincem, gorko ga oplakivati kao prvenca.

¹¹In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

¹¹U onaj dan plač velik će nastati u Jeruzalemu, poput plača hadad-rimonskog u ravnici megidonskoj.

¹²The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

¹²I plakat će zemlja, svaka porodica napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica doma Davidova napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica doma Natanova napose, i žene njihove napose;

¹³the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;

¹³porodica doma Levijeva napose, i žene njihove napose; porodica Šimejeva napose, i žene njihove napose;

¹⁴all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

¹⁴i sve ostale porodice, svaka porodica za sebe, i žene njihove napose.
