Zekaria 9

1 Fweny: Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye mosechano kumogo piny Hadrak kaachiel gi jo-Damaski, nikech piny duto en mar Nyasaye kaachiel gi jo-Israel,

An oracle. The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD;

2 bende osechano kumo Hamath mokiewo kode kaachiel gi Turo kod Sidon kata obedo ni gin gilony ahinya kamano.

and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.

3 Turo osegero kar pondo mare motegno; kendo osechoko fedha, gi dhahabu modhurore ka pith.

Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.

4 To Jehova Nyasaye biro maye mwandune mi oketh tekone ma en-go e nam, kendo ibiro tieke gi mach.

Look, the LORD will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.

5 Ashkelon biro neno mi oluor; piny Gaza kod Ekron biro yware e masira, nikech geno margi biro rumo. Ruodh Gaza biro tho kendo dala mar Ashkelon biro dongʼ gunda.

Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

6 Jopinje mamoko nokaw Ashdod milok margi kendo abiro tieko sunga mar jo-Filistia.

Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

7 Abiro kawo remo oko e dhogi, nagol chiemo makwero e kind lekegi. Joma owe biro bedo jo-Nyasachwa; ginibed jotelo e piny Juda, kendo Ekron nochal gi jo-Jebus.

I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

8 To abiro rito oda mondo kik wasigu mabayo monje, Jasand ji ok nochak obed gi loch ewi joga kendo, nikech koro an e jaritgi.

I will camp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.

9 Bed gi ilo maduongʼ, yaye nyar Sayun! Kog matek, yaye Nyar Jerusalem! Ne, Ruodhi biro iri gi tim makare, kolocho, kobolore, kendo koidho kanyna, kanyna matin, adier en mana nyathi punda.

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion. Shout, daughter of Jerusalem. Look, your king comes to you. He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

10 Abiro golo geche mag lweny oko e Efraim gi farese mag lweny bende abiro golo Jerusalem, kendo atunge mag lweny ibiro tur. Obiro kelo kwe ni ogendini. Lochne biro chakore e bath nam konchiel nyaka komachielo, kendo kochakore e Aora Yufrate nyaka e giko mar piny.

I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the farthest parts of the earth.

11 Abiro golo jogi motwe kagolo e bur matut maonge pi, nikech singruokna mane atimo kodu gi remo.

As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.

12 Doguru kuondeu mochiel motegno, yaye joma otwe man-gi geno; nimar kata sani alando ni abiro dwokonu mwandu magu mane oyaki nyadiriyo.

Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.

13 Abiro lworo Juda mana kaka adolo atungʼ mara, kendo anaket Efraim obed asere. Asekawo yawuoti, yaye Sayun, ma alokogi ligangla ma akedogo gi jo-Yunani, kendo abiro loki ligangla mar kedo.

For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.

14 Bangʼ mano Jehova Nyasaye nonere ratiro koa malo ne joge kendo nochiel asere mare ka mil polo. Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto biro goyo tungʼ mi odhi ka en ei ahiti moa yo milambo,

The LORD will be seen over them; and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and the LORD will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

15 kendo Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nobednegi okumba. Ginilo lweny mi ginyon kite mag orujre piny. Ginigo koko ka joma ometho momer kendo ginineg ji ma rembgi chwer, mana ka remb misango miolo e tunge kendo mar misango.

The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.

16 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi noresgi chiengʼno mana kaka jakwath reso jambe. Ginirieny e pinye ka kite ma nengogi tek mikete osimbo mar duongʼ mondo omil.

The LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.

17 Mano kaka ginibed joma lombo ji kendo joma beyo! Cham gi divai nomi yawuotgi gi nyigi, bed gi del maber.

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty. Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
