Zechariah 12
1 A revelation of the LORD’s word concerning Israel: The LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:
Kun raajii dubbii Waaqayyo waaʼee Israaʼel dubbatuu dha. Waaqayyo samiiwwan diriirse, inni hundee lafaa buuse, inni nama keessatti hafuura namaa uume sun akkana jedha:
2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
“Ani Yerusaalemin namoota naannoo ishee jiraatan hundatti xoofoo gatantarsu nan godha. Yihuudaan akkuma Yerusaalem marfamtee ni qabamti.
3 It will happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
Gaafas, yeroo saboonni lafaa hundi isheen mormuudhaan walitti qabamanitti, ani Yerusaalemin saboota hundatti kattaa hin sochoofamne nan godha. Warri ishee sochoosuu yaalan hundi of miidhu.
4 In that day,” says the LORD, “I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness. I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
Gaafas ani fardeen hunda nan naasisa; isa yaabbatus nan maraacha” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani Yihuudaa eeguuf ija koo nan banadha; ija fardeen saboota hundaa garuu nan jaamsa.
5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of Armies their God.’
Ergasii hangafoonni Yihuudaa garaa isaaniitti, ‘Jiraatonni Yerusaalem sababii Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Waaqa isaanii taʼeef jajjaboo dha’ jedhu.
6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
“Ani gaafas hangafoota Yihuudaa badaa ibiddaa tuullaa qoraanii keessaa, akkuma guca ibiddaa bissii keessaa nan godha. Isaan saboota naannoo isaanii kanneen mirgaa fi bitaan jiran hunda ni barbadeessu; Yerusaalem garuu utuu hin miidhamin iddoodhuma isheetti hafti.
7 The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
“Waaqayyo akka ulfinni mana Daawitii fi jiraattota Yerusaalem ulfina Yihuudaa hin caalleef duraan dursee iddoo jireenya Yihuudaa ni baraara.
8 In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like the LORD’s angel before them.
Gaafas Waaqayyo jiraattota Yerusaalemiif ni qolata; guyyaa sana isaan keessaa inni dadhabaan akka Daawit taʼa; manni Daawitis akka Waaqaa, akka ergamaa Waaqayyoo isa isaan dura deemuu ni taʼa.
9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Ani gaafas saboota Yerusaalem lolan hunda balleessuuf nan baʼa.
10 I will pour on David’s house and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. They will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for his firstborn.
“Ani mana Daawitii fi jiraattota Yerusaalem irratti hafuura surraatii fi kadhannaa nan dhangalaasa. Isaan ana isa waraanan sana ni ilaalu; isaan akkuma nama ilma tokkichaaf booʼuutti ni booʼuuf; akkuma nama ilma hangafaaf baayʼisee gadduuttis ni gadduuf.
11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
Gaafas booʼichi Yerusaalem keessaa akkuma booʼicha dirree Megidoonitti Hadaad Rimooniif booʼame sanaa guddaa taʼa.
12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
Biyyattiin ni boossi; tokkoon tokkoon balbalaas niitota isaanii wajjin ofii isaaniitiif ni booʼu; balballi mana Daawitii fi niitonni isaanii, balballi mana Naataaniitii fi niitonni isaanii,
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
balballi mana Lewwii fi niitonni isaanii, balballi Shimeʼiitii fi niitonni isaanii,
14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
balbalawwan hafan hundii fi niitonni isaanii ni booʼu.
