Zechariah 7
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chislev.
Iti maikapat a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Dario, iti maikapat nga aldaw ti Kislev (nga isu ti maikasiam a bulan), immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Zacarias.
2 Now those of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to entreat the favor of Jehovah,
Imbaon dagiti tattao ti Betel da Sarezer ken Regemmelek agraman dagiti tattaoda a mapan agkiddaw iti pabor kenni Yahweh.
3 and to speak to the priests of the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
Nakisaritada kadagiti papadi nga adda iti balay ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ken kadagiti profeta; kinunada, “Rumbeng kadi nga agladingitak iti maikalima a bulan babaen iti panagayunar, kas iti inar-aramidko kadagiti adu a tawtawen?”
4 Then the word of Jehovah of hosts came to me, saying,
Isu nga immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a kunana,
5 Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, even these seventy years, did ye at all fast to me, even to me?
“Kasaritam dagiti amin a tattao iti daga ken dagiti papadi ket ibagam, 'Idi nagayunar ken nagladingitkayo iti maikalima ken iti maikapito a bulan kadagitoy a pitopulo a tawen, pudno kadi a nagay-ayunarkayo a para kaniak?
6 And when ye eat, and when ye drink, do ye not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
Ken idi nangan ken imminumkayo, saan kadi a nangan ken imminumkayo para kadagiti bagbagiyo laeng?
7 Should ye not hear the words which Jehovah cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?
Saan kadi a dagitoy met laeng a sasao ti impakaammo ni Yahweh babaen kadagiti immun-una a profeta, idi agnanaedkayo pay laeng a narang-ay idiay Jerusalem ken kadagiti kabangibang a siudad ken nagtaeng idiay Negev, ken kadagiti arisadsad ti turod iti laud?”'
8 And the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah, saying,
Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Zacarias a kunana,
9 Thus Jehovah of hosts has spoken, saying, Execute true justice, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Nalinteg koma ti panangukomyo, napudnokayo iti tulag ken agbalinkayo a naasi. Aramiden koma daytoy ti tunggal tao para iti kabsatna.
10 And do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the sojourner, nor the poor man. And let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.
No maipapan iti balo ken ulila, ti ganggannaet, ken ti nakurapay a tao—saanyo ida a parigaten. Ken tapno saankayo a makaaramid iti aniaman a dakes iti tunggal maysa—masapul a saankayo nga agpanggep iti pusoyo nga agaramid iti dakes.'
11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
Ngem saanda nga impangag ken saanda a kayat nga agtulnog; inapputanda dagiti lapayagda tapno saanda a mangngeg.
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which Jehovah of hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from Jehovah of hosts.
Inkeddengda a saanda a dumngeg iti linteg wenno kadagiti sasao ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin. Impatulodna dagitoy a mensahe kadagiti tattao babaen iti Espirituna idi un-unana a tiempo, babaen kadagiti sasao dagiti profeta. Ngem saan a dimngeg dagiti tattao, isu a nakapungtot unay kadakuada ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
13 And it has come to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear, so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said Jehovah of hosts.
Ket napasamak nga idi immawag isuna, saanda a dimngeg. 'Iti isu met laeng a wagas, kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'umawagdanto kaniak, ngem saanakto a dumngeg.
14 But I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned. For they laid the pleasant land desolate.
Gapu ta iwarawarakto ida babaen iti alipugpog kadagiti amin a nasion a saanda pay a nakitkita, ket kalpasanda a maiwarawara, agbalinto a langalang ti daga. Ta awanto ti tao nga agdaliasat iti daga wenno agsubli iti daytoy agsipud ta pinagbalin dagiti tattao ti makaay-ayo a dagada iti maysa a langalang a daga.'”
