< Zechariah 1 >

1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Oubi godo amola ode ageyadu amo Da: liase ea Besia sogega ouligisu hou amoga, Hina Gode da amo sia: ne iasu amo Segalaia (Belegaia egefe amola Idou ea aowa) ema i.
2 Jehovah was greatly displeased with your fathers.
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Segalaiama amo sia: Ea fi dunu ilima alofele olelema: ne sia: i, “Na, Hina Gode, da dilia aowalali ilima bagadewane ougi galu.
3 Therefore say thou to them, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Return to me, says Jehovah of hosts, and I will return to you, says Jehovah of hosts.
Be wali Na da dilima sia: sa, ‘Nama buhagima! Amasea, Na da dilima bu misunu!
4 Be ye not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings, but they did not hear, nor hearken to me, says Jehovah.
Dilia aowalali ilia hou agoane mae hamoma. Hemonega, balofede dunu da Na sia: ne iasu ilima i. Ilia da wadela: i hou fisimusa: ilima sia: i. Be ilia da Na sia: hamedafa nabi amola Na hamoma: ne sia: be nabawane hame hamosu.
5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
Dia aowalali amola amo balofede huluane ilia da bogoi dagoi.
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? And they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so he has dealt with us.
Na hawa: hamosu balofede dunu amo ilimadi, Na da dilia aowalali ilima hamoma: ne sia: i amola sisasu dawa: digima: ne sia: ne i. Be ilia amo sia: mae nabane, se dabe lai dagoi. Amalalu, ilia da bu sinidigili, amo Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da ilia hamoi defele amola Na ilegei defele, se dabe ilima i, amo da dafawane ilia da sia: i dagoi.”
7 Upon the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Eso 24 amola oubi gidayale (oubi Siba: de) amola ode ageyadu Da: liase ea Besia soge ouligisu amoga, Hina Gode da gasi afaega nama esala ba: su iasi.
8 I saw in the night, and, behold, a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom. And behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.
Na da ba: loba, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu yoi hosi da: iya fila heda: le ahoanebe ba: i. E da ‘medele’ ifa labala fago, amo ganodini aliligibi ba: i. Ea baligia hosi eno, mogili yoi, mogili hoholei, mogili ahea: iai, lelebe ba: i.
9 Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the agent who talked with me said to me, I will show thee what these are.
Na da ema adole ba: i, “Hina! Amo hosi ilia bai da adi olelesala: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da dima amo ea bai olelemu!
10 And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
Hina Gode da ili osobo bagade hou abodelalu masa: ne asunasi.”
11 And they answered the agent of Jehovah who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sits still, and is at rest.
Hosi ilia da a: igele dunuma amane sia: ne i, “Ninia da osobo bagade huluane hohogola lalu. Ninia da ba: loba, osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da gasa hamedene amola banenesi dagoi ba: i.”
12 Then the agent of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long will thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou have had indignation these seventy years?
Amalalu, a:igele dunu da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Di da waha ode 70 agoane, Yelusaleme fi amola Yuda moilai bai bagade hamone gagai fi ilima ougi galu. Di da habogala ilima asigi hou bu olelema: bela: ?”
13 And Jehovah answered the agent who talked with me with good words, comforting words.
Hina Gode da a: igele dunu ea dogo denesima: ne, ema dabe adole i.
14 So the agent who talked with me said to me, Cry thou, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Amola a: igele da nama Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ea sia: i amo sisia: i lama: ne amane sia: i, “Na da Yelusaleme, Na Hadigi Moilai bai bagade, amoma bagade fofagisa.
15 And I am very greatly displeased with the nations that are at ease. For I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
Amola, Na da ilima ha lai fifi asi gala amo da hahawane amola olofole esala, ilima bagadewane ougi. Na da Na fi dunuma fonobahadi ougiba: le, ilima se dabe i. Na da eno fifi asi gala dunuma amo hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, ilia da Na fi dunuma gegebeba: le, ilima se bagade i. Be ilia da Na hamoma: ne sia: i baligili, Na fi dunuma se baligili i.
16 Therefore thus says Jehovah: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies. My house shall be built in it, says Jehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
Amaiba: le, Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima asigi hou olelema: ne, Yelusalemega buhagi. Na Debolo da bu hahamoi amola Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade da bu buga: le gagui dagoi ba: mu.”
17 Cry yet again, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity, and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Amola a: igele da nama na da eno sisia: i lama: ne amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, ‘Na moilai bai bagade ilia da bu bagade gagui ba: mu. Amola Na da Yelusaleme fi bu fidimu amola Yelusaleme da Na moilai bai bagadedafa Na da bu sia: mu.’”
18 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns.
Esala ba: su eno ganodini, na da bulamagau hono biyaduyale ba: i.
19 And I said to the agent who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
Na da a: igele dunu (amo da nama sia: dasu) ema amane adole ba: i, “Amo hono ilia bai da adila: ?” E da nama bu adole i, “Ilia bai da gasa bagade fifi asi gala amo da Yuda, Isala: ili amola Yelusaleme amo fi dunu afagogolesi dagoi.”
20 And Jehovah showed me four smiths.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da ha: ma gagui hawa: hamosu dunu biyaduyale nama olei.
21 Then I said, What are these coming to do? And he spoke, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head. But these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
Na da amane adole ba: i, “Amo dunu ilia adi hamomusa: misibala: ? E da dabe adole i,” Fifi asi gala ha lai dunu ilia da Yuda fi dunu hasalasili, afagogolesi. Ha: ma gagui dunu da amo ha lai fifi asi gala amo beda: ma: ne hamone, hasalasimusa: misi dagoi.”
