Kniha proroka Zachariáša

1 (KJV) In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
1 (KAT) V ôsmom mesiaci druhého roku Dária prehovoril Pán k prorokovi Zachariášovi, synovi Barachiáša, Adovho syna takto:

2 (KJV) The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
2 (KAT) „Pán sa veľmi hnevá na vašich otcov.

3 (KJV) Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
3 (KAT) Povedz im teda: Toto hovorí Pán zástupov: Obráťte sa ku mne, hovorí Pán zástupov, a obrátim sa k vám, hovorí Pán zástupov.

4 (KJV) Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
4 (KAT) Nebuďte ako vaši otcovia, ku ktorým volali predošlí proroci: Toto hovorí Pán zástupov: Odvráťte sa od svojich zlých ciest a od svojich zlých skutkov; ale nepočúvali a nedbali na mňa, hovorí Pán.

5 (KJV) Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
5 (KAT) Vaši otcovia - kdeže tí sú? A proroci? Či večne žijú?

6 (KJV) But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
6 (KAT) Azda moje slová a moje príkazy, ktoré som uložil svojim sluhom prorokom, nezasiahli vašich otcov? Vtedy sa obrátili a vraveli: »Ako sa Pán zástupov rozhodol, že bude s nami nakladať podľa našich ciest a podľa našich skutkov, tak s nami nakladal.«“

7 (KJV) Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
7 (KAT) Dvadsiaty štvrtý deň jedenásteho mesiaca - to je mesiac šebat, v druhom roku Dária, prehovoril Pán k prorokovi Zachariášovi, synovi Barachiáša, Adovho syna, takto:

8 (KJV) I saw by 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 were there red horses, speckled, and white.
8 (KAT) Videl som v noci: Hľa, akýsi muž jazdil na hnedom koni. Stál medzi myrtovými kríkmi v priehlbine a za ním boli hnedé, strakaté a biele kone.

9 (KJV) Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
9 (KAT) I spýtal som sa: „Kto sú títo, Pane?“ Odpovedal mi anjel, ktorý vo mne hovoril: „Ja ti ukážem, kto sú títo.“

10 (KJV) And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
10 (KAT) Vtom sa ozval muž, ktorý stál medzi myrtovými kríkmi, a povedal: „To sú tí, ktorých Pán poslal poprechodiť zem.“

11 (KJV) And they answered the angel of the LORD 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.
11 (KAT) Oni povedali Pánovmu anjelovi, ktorý stál medzi myrtovými kríkmi: „Poprechodili sme zem a hľa, celá zem býva v spokojnosti.“

12 (KJV) Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD 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?
12 (KAT) Pánov anjel odvetil: „Pane zástupov, dokedyže sa nezmiluješ nad Jeruzalemom a nad mestami Júdska, na ktoré sa hneváš už sedemdesiat rokov?“

13 (KJV) And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
13 (KAT) Pán odpovedal anjelovi, ktorý vo mne hovoril, dobrotivé slová, útešné slová.

14 (KJV) So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
14 (KAT) Tu mi povedal anjel, ktorý vo mne hovoril: „Takto volaj: Toto hovorí Pán zástupov: »Horlím za Jeruzalem a za Sion veľkou horlivosťou.

15 (KJV) And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
15 (KAT) A veľmi sa hnevám na bezstarostné národy, ktoré, keď som sa málo hneval, napomáhali zlo.«

16 (KJV) Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
16 (KAT) Preto takto hovorí Pán: Obrátim sa k Jeruzalemu milosrdne, bude v ňom postavený môj dom, hovorí Pán zástupov, a nad Jeruzalemom sa roztiahne meradlo.

17 (KJV) Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
17 (KAT) Ďalej volaj: Toto hovorí Pán zástupov: Ešte budú moje mestá oplývať šťastím, ešte Pán poteší Sion a vyvolí si Jeruzalem.“

18 (KJV) Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
18 ----

19 (KJV) And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
19 ----

20 (KJV) And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
20 ----

21 (KJV) Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
