1 Tarik angʼwen mar dwe mar ochiko, e higa mar angʼwen mar loch Darius, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni Zekaria.
And it is maad in the fourthe yeer of Darius, kyng, the word of the Lord was maad to Sacarie, in the fourthe dai of the nynthe monethe, that is Caslew.
2 Noyudo jo-Bethel ooro Shareza gi Regem-Melek, kod jogi moko, mondo okwa Jehova Nyasaye gweth,
And Sarasar, and Rogumelech, and men that weren with hem, senten to the hous of the Lord, for to preye the face of the Lord;
3 ka gipenjo jodolo mag od Jehova Nyasaye Maratego kod jonabi niya, “Bende owinjore aywagi kendo atwe chiemo e dwe mar abich kaka asebedo ka atimo kuom higni mangʼeny?”
that thei schulden seie to prestis of the hous of the Lord of oostis, and to profetis, and speke, Whether it is to wepe to me in the fyuethe monethe, ether Y schal halowe me, as Y dide now many yeeris?
4 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nobirona, kawacho niya,
And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
5 “Penj ji duto manie piny, kaachiel gi jodolo ni, ‘Kane utweyo chiemo kendo uywak e dwe mar abich gi mar abiriyo kuom higni piero abiriyo mokalogo duto, bende an ema ne utweyona chiemo adier?
and seide, Speke thou to al the puple of the lond, and to prestis, and seie thou, Whanne ye fastiden, and weiliden in the fyueth and seuenthe monethe, bi these seuenti yeeris, whether ye fastiden a fast to me?
6 Koso kane uchiemo kendo umetho, donge nuchiemo kendo umetho mana ne un uwegi?
And whanne ye eeten, and drunken, whether ye eten not to you, and drunken not to you silf?
7 Magi donge e weche mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kotiyo gi jonabi machon, e kinde mane Jerusalem gi mier molwore ne nigi kwe kendo dhi maber, bende e kinde ma Negev gi pinje manie tie gode ma yo podho chiengʼ ne pok ji odakie?’”
Whether wordis of profetis ben not, whiche the Lord spak in the hond of the formere profetis, whanne yit Jerusalem was enhabited, and was ful of richessis, and it, and citees therof in cumpas therof, and at the south and in feeldi place was enhabited?
8 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obiro ni Zekaria niya,
And the word of the Lord was maad to Sacarie, and seide, The Lord of oostis saith these thingis, and spekith,
9 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho, ‘Ngʼaduru bura madier; nyisuru tim ngʼwono kod kech ni jowadu.
Deme ye trewe dom, and do ye merci, and doyngis of merci, ech man with his brother.
10 Kik usand dhako ma chwore otho kata nyathi kich, kata jadak, kata jadhier. Kik upar timo marach ni jowadu gie chunyu.’
And nyle ye falsli calenge a widewe, and fadirles, ether modirles, and comelyng, and pore man; and a man thenke not in his herte yuel to his brother.
11 “To negitamore winjo wechena; mi gingʼanyona kendo gidino parogi mondo kik giwinj wechena.
And thei wolden not `take heede, and thei turneden awei the schuldre, and yeden awei, and `maden heuy her eeris, lest thei herden.
12 Ee, negiketo chunygi obedo matek ta mana ka kidi, kendo ne gidagi winjo chik kata weche ma Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nooronigi kuom Roho kokonyore gi jonabi machon. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nokecho ahinya.
And thei puttiden her herte as adamaunt, lest thei herden the lawe, and wordis whiche the Lord of oostis sente in his Spirit, bi the hond of the formere profetis; and greet indignacioun was maad of the Lord of oostis.
13 “‘Kane aluongo, ne ok giwinjo, omiyo gin bende kane giluongo to ne ok anyal yienegi,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
And it is doon, as he spak; and as thei herden not, so thei schulen crie, and Y schal not here, seith the Lord of oostis.
14 ‘Ne akeyogi ka kalausi e kind ogendini ma ok gingʼeyo. Piny mane giweyo nolokore gunda bangʼ-gi mane onge ngʼama kadhe kata dhiye. Kamano e kaka negimiyo piny majaberno olokore gunda.’”
And Y scateride hem bi alle rewmes, whiche thei knewen not, and the lond is desolat fro hem; for that there was not a man goynge and turnynge ayen, and thei han put desirable lond in to desert.
