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:
An oracle. This is the message of the Lord about Israel. The Lord who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the human spirit within people says:
2 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Neuru, abiro miyo Jerusalem bedo gima bwogo ji duto modak machiegni kode. Juda ibiro goyone agengʼa, kaachiel gi Jerusalem.
Look! I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness for all the surrounding peoples. There will be a siege of 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.
On that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone to be lifted up by all the peoples. All who lift it up will surely hurt themselves! And all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
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.
On that day, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness. But over the house of Judah I will keep watch, though I strike every horse belonging to the peoples with blindness.
5 Eka jotelo mag Juda nowachi e chunygi ni, ‘Jo-Jerusalem gin roteke nikech Jehova Nyasaye Maratego en Nyasachgi.’
And the chieftains of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The strength of the inhabitants is in the Lord 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 will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire in the woods, like a torch among sheaves, they will devour right and left all the surrounding peoples. But Jerusalem will abide on its own site.
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 the Lord will first give victory to the tents of Judah, so that the glory of the house of David, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not exalted above Judah.
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 the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the feeblest among them will in that day be like David, and the house of David like God, like the messenger of the Lord before them.
9 Odiechiengno anawuog oko mondo atiek pinje duto mamonjo Jerusalem.
And in that day I will seek to destroy all the nations who have come up 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 will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of pity and compassion. They will look on him whom they have pierced and they will lament for him as one laments for an only son. They will bitterly grieve for him as one grieves for the firstborn.
11 Chiengʼno nduru ma ji nogo Jerusalem nobed malich, mana ka nduch Hadad Rimon e paw Megido.
In that day mourning will be as great in Jerusalem as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
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 will mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves, and the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves,
13 Joka Lawi kod joka Shimei bende noywag kamano, ka mondgi bende ywak kar kendgi.
and the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves, the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves,
14 Dhoudi mamoko bende noywag kar kendgi, ka mondgi bende ywak kamano.”
and all the families who are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
