Zekariya 9
1 Mawu a Yehova odzudzula dziko la Hadiraki ndi mzinda wa Damasiko pakuti maso a anthu ndiponso mafuko onse a Israeli ali pa Yehova—
The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel; )
2 ndiponso mzinda wa Hamati, umene ukuchita malire ndi dzikoli, komanso pa Turo ndi Sidoni, ngakhale kuti iwo ndi anzeru kwambiri.
and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.
3 Ndipo Turo anadzimangira linga; wadziwunjikira siliva ngati fumbi, ndi golide ngati zinyalala za mʼmisewu.
And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
4 Taonani Ambuye adzamulanda chuma chakecho ndi kuwononga mphamvu zake mʼnyanja, ndipo adzapserera ndi moto.
Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
5 Mzinda wa Asikeloni udzaona zimenezi, nʼkuchita mantha; Gaza adzanjenjemera ndi ululu, chimodzimodzinso Ekroni, chifukwa chiyembekezo chake chidzatheratu. Mfumu ya ku Gaza idzaphedwa ndipo Asikeloni adzakhala opanda anthu.
Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 Mu Asidodi mudzakhala mlendo, ndipo ndidzathetsa kunyada kwa Afilisti.
And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines;
7 Ndidzachotsa nyama ya magazi mʼkamwa mwawo, chakudya choletsedwa mʼmano mwawo. Amene atsala adzakhala anthu a Mulungu wathu, adzasanduka atsogoleri mu Yuda, ndipo Ekroni adzakhala ngati Ayebusi.
and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 Koma Ine ndidzalondera Nyumba yanga ndi kuyiteteza kwa ankhondo osakaza. Palibenso mdani amene adzagonjetse anthu anga, pakuti tsopano ndikuwayangʼanira.
And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.
9 Sangalala kwambiri, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni! Fuwula, mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu! Taona, mfumu yako ikubwera kwa iwe, yolungama ndi yogonjetsa adani, yodzichepetsa ndi yokwera pa bulu, pa mwana wamphongo wa bulu.
Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 Ndidzachotsa magaleta ankhondo ku Efereimu ndi akavalo ankhondo ku Yerusalemu, ndipo uta wankhondo udzathyoka. Mfumuyo idzabweretsa mtendere pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. Ulamuliro wake udzayambira ku nyanja ina mpaka ku nyanja ina, ndipo kuchokera ku Mtsinje (Yufurate) mpaka ku malekezero a dziko lapansi.
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
11 Tsono kunena za iwe, chifukwa cha magazi a pangano lako ndi Ine, ndidzamasula amʼndende ako, ndidzawatulutsa mʼdzenje lopanda madzi.
As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
12 Bwererani ku malo anu otetezedwa, inu amʼndende achiyembekezo; ngakhale tsopano ndikulengeza kuti ndidzakubwezerani zabwino mowirikiza.
Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.
13 Ndidzakoka Yuda monga ndimakokera uta wanga, ndipo Efereimu ndiye muvi wake. Ndidzadzutsa ana ako iwe Ziyoni, kulimbana ndi ana ako iwe Grisi, ndipo ndidzakusandutsa iwe lupanga la munthu wankhondo.
For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man.
14 Pamenepo Yehova adzaonekera kwa anthu ake; mivi yake idzangʼanima ngati chingʼaningʼani. Ambuye Yehova adzaliza lipenga; ndipo adzayenda mu mkuntho wochokera kummwera,
And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds of the south.
15 ndipo Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawateteza. Iwo adzawononga ndipo adzagonjetsa ndi miyala ya legeni. Adzamwa magazi ndi kubangula ngati amwa vinyo; magazi adzayenderera ngati a mʼmbale yowazira magazi pa ngodya za guwa lansembe.
Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
16 Tsiku limenelo Yehova Mulungu wawo adzawapulumutsa pakuti anthu ake ali ngati nkhosa. Adzanyezimira mʼdziko lake ngati miyala yokongola pa chipewa chaufumu.
And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon his land.
17 Taonani chikoka ndi kukongola kwawo! Tirigu adzasangalatsa anyamata, ndi vinyo watsopano anamwali.
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
