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,

The prophecy of the word of Jehovah is against the land of Hadrach, And upon Damascus shall it come down, For the eye of Jehovah is over man, And over all the tribes of Israel,

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

And against Hamath, which bordereth thereon, And Tyre and Sidon, though she be very wise.

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

Though Tyre hath built her a fortress, And hath heaped up silver as dust, And fine gold as 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.

Behold, the Lord will cast her out, And will smite her power into the sea, And she shall be devoured by 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.

Askelon shall see it and fear, Gaza also shall see and tremble, And Ekron, because her expectation shall be put to shame. The king shall perish from Gaza, And Askelon shall not be inhabited.

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

And strangers shall 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.

And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, And his abominations from between his teeth; And even he shall be left for our God, And he shall be as a governor 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.

And I will encamp about my house, as a garrison, Against him that passeth by and him that returneth, And no oppressor shall pass through them any more; For now have I seen with my own 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! Behold, thy king cometh to thee; He is just and victorious, Mild, and riding upon an ass, Even upon a colt, the foal of an ass.

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.

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 to the nations; And his dominion shall be from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.

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

As for thee also, on account of thy blood-sealed covenant, I will set thy prisoners free from the pit wherein 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.

Return ye to the strong-hold, ye prisoners of hope! Even this day do I declare it: I will restore double unto thee.

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 I will bend Judah as a bow for myself; As a bow will I extend Ephraim to the utmost; And I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, Against thy sons, O Greece, And make thee as 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,

And Jehovah shall be seen over them. And his arrow shall go forth as lightning; And the Lord Jehovah shall blow the trumpet, And shall go forth 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.

Jehovah of hosts shall defend them; And they shall devour, and trample under feet the sling-stones, And they shall drink, and shout as through wine, And they shall be filled like a bowl, 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.

And Jehovah, their God, shall save them in that day; He will save his people as a flock; For they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifting themselves up in his land.

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

How great shall be their prosperity, and how great their beauty! Corn shall make the young men thrive, and new wire the maidens.
