Zekaria 12

1 Milome. Ma e wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kuom Israel. Jehova Nyasaye mane ochweyo polo moketo mise mar piny kendo omiyo dhano much ngima, wacho kama:

The burden of a word of YHWH on Israel. A declaration of YHWH, Stretching out the heavens, and founding earth, And forming the spirit of man in his midst:

2 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Neuru, abiro miyo Jerusalem bedo gima bwogo ji duto modak machiegni kode. Juda ibiro goyone agengʼa, kaachiel gi Jerusalem.

“Behold, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling To all the surrounding peoples, And it is also against Judah, In the siege against Jerusalem.

3 Odiechiengʼno, ka pinje duto mag piny ochokorene mar monje, anami Jerusalem bed lwanda mapek ma kata piny duto riwne to ok odhirre. Ji duto manotem dhire to nohinyre gin giwegi.

And it has come to pass in that day, I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth.

4 Odiechiengno anago faras ka faras gi kihondko, to joriemb faras nolokre joneko,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho. “Abiro miyo dhood Juda rit makende, to farese mag ogendini mamoko analok muofni.

In that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I strike every horse with astonishment, And its rider with madness, And on the house of Judah I open My eyes, And every horse of the peoples I strike with blindness.

5 Eka jotelo mag Juda nowachi e chunygi ni, ‘Jo-Jerusalem gin roteke nikech Jehova Nyasaye Maratego en Nyasachgi.’

And leaders of Judah have said in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [are] strength to me, In YHWH of Hosts their God.

6 “Odiechiengno anami jotend Juda chal gi agulu manie mach mangʼangʼni, kendo ka pilni mach manie kind cham mochiek. Gibiro tieko ji duto modak e alworagi koni gi koni, to Jerusalem to biro dongʼ kare kaka en, ka ji odakie.

In that day I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have consumed—on the right and on the left—all the surrounding peoples, And Jerusalem has again inhabited her place in Jerusalem.

7 “Jehova Nyasaye biro reso miech Juda mokwongo, eka duongʼ ma jo-dhood Daudi kod ma joma odak Jerusalem nigo kik lo dhout Juda mamoko.

And YHWH has saved the tents of Judah first, So that the beauty of the house of David does not become great against Judah, And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem.

8 Odiechiengno Jehova Nyasaye biro chielo joma odak Jerusalem mondo joma nyap mogik e diergi ochal gi Daudi, kendo joka Daudi nochal kaka Nyasaye, ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye otelonegi.

In that day YHWH covers over the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them has been in that day as David, And the house of David as God—As the Messenger of YHWH—before them.

9 Odiechiengno anawuog oko mondo atiek pinje duto mamonjo Jerusalem.

And it has come to pass in that day, I seek to destroy all the nations Who are coming in against Jerusalem,

10 “Kendo anami joka Daudi kod joma odak Jerusalem chuny mar ngʼwono gi kwayo. Giniket geno margi kuoma, an mane gichwowo, kendo giniywage mana kaka ngʼato ywago wuode ma miderma.

And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, The Spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked to Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over Him, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for Him, Like a bitterness over the firstborn.

11 Chiengʼno nduru ma ji nogo Jerusalem nobed malich, mana ka nduch Hadad Rimon e paw Megido.

In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the Valley of Megiddon,

12 E kindeno dhoudi manie piny noywag malich ka dhoot ka dhoot ywak kar kendgi. Joka Daudi noywag kar kendgi, ka mondgi bende ywak kar kendgi, joka Nathan noywag kar kendgi kendo mondgi bende noywag kar kendgi.

And the land has mourned—every family apart, The family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women apart;

13 Joka Lawi kod joka Shimei bende noywag kamano, ka mondgi bende ywak kar kendgi.

The family of the house of Levi apart, And their women apart; The family of Shimei apart, And their women apart,

14 Dhoudi mamoko bende noywag kar kendgi, ka mondgi bende ywak kamano.”

All the families that are left, Every family apart, and their women apart!”
