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:

¹Prorokovanje besede GOSPODOVE o Izraelu. Tako govori GOSPOD, ki razprostira nebo in ustanavlja zemljo in človeku ustvarja duha v prsih:

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.

²Glej, jaz naredim Jeruzalem za omotično čašo vsem ljudstvom okoli; in tudi Judo zadene to pri obleganju 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.

³In zgodi se tisti dan, da storim Jeruzalem za pretežek kamen vsem ljudstvom: vsi, ki ga vzdigujejo, se bodo hudo poškodovali. In vsi narodi zemlje se zbero zoper njega.

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.

⁴Tisti dan, govori GOSPOD, udarim vse konje, da se bodo plašili, in njih jezdece, da zbesné; a nad hišo Judovo bom imel odprte oči, vse konje narodov pa udarim s slepoto.

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

⁵In vojvode Judovi bodo v srcu svojem govorili: Moja moč so prebivalci jeruzalemski po GOSPODU nad vojskami, njih Bogu.

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.

⁶Tisti dan storim vojvode Judove enake goreči peči med lesom in goreči plamenici med snopjem, da požro ob desni in ob levi vsa ljudstva okoli; in Jeruzalemci bodo zopet stanovali na svojem mestu v Jeruzalemu.

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.

⁷In GOSPOD reši najprej šatore Judove, da se krasota hiše Davidove in krasota prebivalcev jeruzalemskih ne poveličuje proti Judi.

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.

⁸Tisti dan bode GOSPOD obrana prebivalcem v Jeruzalemu; in kdor se opoteka med njimi, bode tisti dan kakor David, in hiša Davidova bode kakor Bog, kakor angel GOSPODOV pred njimi.

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

⁹In zgodi se tisti dan, da si prizadenem pogubiti vse poganske narode, ki gredo zoper 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.

¹⁰In izlijem nad hišo Davidovo in nad prebivalce jeruzalemske duha milosti in ponižnih prošenj, in gledali bodo v mene, ki so ga prebodli, in plakali nad njim, kakor plačejo po edincu, in bridko bodo nad njim žalovali, kakor žalujejo bridko nad prvencem.

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

¹¹Tisti dan bode velik jok v Jeruzalemu kakor jok ob Hadadrimonu v dolini Megidski.

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;

¹²In plakala bo dežela, vsaka rodovina posebe: rodovina hiše Davidove posebe in njih žene posebe; rodovina hiše Natanove posebe in njih žene posebe;

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

¹³rodovina hiše Levijeve posebe in njih žene posebe; rodovina Simejskih posebe in njih žene posebe;takisto vse rodovine, ki preostanejo, vsaka rodovina posebe in njih žene posebe.

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

¹⁴takisto vse rodovine, ki preostanejo, vsaka rodovina posebe in njih žene posebe.
