Segalaia 1
1 Oubi godo amola ode ageyadu amo Da: liase ea Besia sogega ouligisu hou amoga, Hina Gode da amo sia: ne iasu amo Segalaia (Belegaia egefe amola Idou ea aowa) ema i.
In the eighth month in the second year of Darius, this message of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo:
2 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Segalaiama amo sia: Ea fi dunu ilima alofele olelema: ne sia: i, “Na, Hina Gode, da dilia aowalali ilima bagadewane ougi galu.
The Lord was furious with your ancestors.
3 Be wali Na da dilima sia: sa, ‘Nama buhagima! Amasea, Na da dilima bu misunu!
So tell the people this message of the Lord of hosts: ‘Return to me,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and I will return to you’ says the Lord of hosts.
4 Dilia aowalali ilia hou agoane mae hamoma. Hemonega, balofede dunu da Na sia: ne iasu ilima i. Ilia da wadela: i hou fisimusa: ilima sia: i. Be ilia da Na sia: hamedafa nabi amola Na hamoma: ne sia: be nabawane hame hamosu.
‘Do not be like your ancestors to whom the former prophets cried, “The Lord of hosts says to turn now from your evil ways, and from your evil deeds”. They did not heed nor listen to me,’ says the Lord.
5 Dia aowalali amola amo balofede huluane ilia da bogoi dagoi.
‘Your ancestors, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
6 Na hawa: hamosu balofede dunu amo ilimadi, Na da dilia aowalali ilima hamoma: ne sia: i amola sisasu dawa: digima: ne sia: ne i. Be ilia amo sia: mae nabane, se dabe lai dagoi. Amalalu, ilia da bu sinidigili, amo Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da ilia hamoi defele amola Na ilegei defele, se dabe ilima i, amo da dafawane ilia da sia: i dagoi.”
But did not my words and my statutes with which I charged my servants the prophets overtake your ancestors? And they repented and said, “Just as the Lord of hosts planned to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our deeds, so he has dealt with us.”’
7 Eso 24 amola oubi gidayale (oubi Siba: de) amola ode ageyadu Da: liase ea Besia soge ouligisu amoga, Hina Gode da gasi afaega nama esala ba: su iasi.
In the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, this message of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo:
8 Na da ba: loba, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu yoi hosi da: iya fila heda: le ahoanebe ba: i. E da ‘medele’ ifa labala fago, amo ganodini aliligibi ba: i. Ea baligia hosi eno, mogili yoi, mogili hoholei, mogili ahea: iai, lelebe ba: i.
I saw in the night a man on a red horse, among the myrtle trees that were in the valley-bottom. Behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.
9 Na da ema adole ba: i, “Hina! Amo hosi ilia bai da adi olelesala: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da dima amo ea bai olelemu!
Then said I, ‘My Lord, what are these?’ And the messenger who was talking with me said, ‘I will show you what they are.’
10 Hina Gode da ili osobo bagade hou abodelalu masa: ne asunasi.”
And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, ‘They are those whom the Lord has sent to patrol the earth.’
11 Hosi ilia da a: igele dunuma amane sia: ne i, “Ninia da osobo bagade huluane hohogola lalu. Ninia da ba: loba, osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da gasa hamedene amola banenesi dagoi ba: i.”
And the riders answered the messenger of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, ‘We have gone up and down through the world and behold, all the earth is still and at peace.’
12 Amalalu, a:igele dunu da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Di da waha ode 70 agoane, Yelusaleme fi amola Yuda moilai bai bagade hamone gagai fi ilima ougi galu. Di da habogala ilima asigi hou bu olelema: bela: ?”
Then the messenger of the Lord said, ‘Lord of hosts, how long will you have no pity for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah with which you have been angry for seventy years?’
13 Hina Gode da a: igele dunu ea dogo denesima: ne, ema dabe adole i.
And the Lord answered the messenger who was talking with me with kind and comforting words.
14 Amola a: igele da nama Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ea sia: i amo sisia: i lama: ne amane sia: i, “Na da Yelusaleme, Na Hadigi Moilai bai bagade, amoma bagade fofagisa.
So the messenger who was talking with me said to me, ‘Proclaim now that the Lord of hosts says: I am deeply concerned for Jerusalem.
15 Amola, Na da ilima ha lai fifi asi gala amo da hahawane amola olofole esala, ilima bagadewane ougi. Na da Na fi dunuma fonobahadi ougiba: le, ilima se dabe i. Na da eno fifi asi gala dunuma amo hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, ilia da Na fi dunuma gegebeba: le, ilima se bagade i. Be ilia da Na hamoma: ne sia: i baligili, Na fi dunuma se baligili i.
But I am deeply angry with the arrogant, complacent nations. I was only a little angry with Israel but they made the suffering worse.
16 Amaiba: le, Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima asigi hou olelema: ne, Yelusalemega buhagi. Na Debolo da bu hahamoi amola Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade da bu buga: le gagui dagoi ba: mu.”
Therefore, says the Lord, I am turning to show mercy to Jerusalem. My temple will be rebuilt in it, says the Lord of hosts, and a measuring line will be stretched over Jerusalem.
17 Amola a: igele da nama na da eno sisia: i lama: ne amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, ‘Na moilai bai bagade ilia da bu bagade gagui ba: mu. Amola Na da Yelusaleme fi bu fidimu amola Yelusaleme da Na moilai bai bagadedafa Na da bu sia: mu.’”
Proclaim again: Thus says the Lord of hosts: My cities will again overflow with prosperity and the Lord will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’
18 Esala ba: su eno ganodini, na da bulamagau hono biyaduyale ba: i.
Now I looked up and saw four horns.
19 Na da a: igele dunu (amo da nama sia: dasu) ema amane adole ba: i, “Amo hono ilia bai da adila: ?” E da nama bu adole i, “Ilia bai da gasa bagade fifi asi gala amo da Yuda, Isala: ili amola Yelusaleme amo fi dunu afagogolesi dagoi.”
I said to the messenger who was talking with me, ‘What are these?’ He answered, ‘These are the horns which scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.’
20 Amalalu, Hina Gode da ha: ma gagui hawa: hamosu dunu biyaduyale nama olei.
Then the Lord showed me four smiths.
21 Na da amane adole ba: i, “Amo dunu ilia adi hamomusa: misibala: ? E da dabe adole i,” Fifi asi gala ha lai dunu ilia da Yuda fi dunu hasalasili, afagogolesi. Ha: ma gagui dunu da amo ha lai fifi asi gala amo beda: ma: ne hamone, hasalasimusa: misi dagoi.”
I said, ‘What are these coming to do?’ He answered, ‘The horns scattered Judah, so that no one dared lift their head. But the smiths have come to terrify them, to crush the horns of the nations which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter its people.’
