< Zechariah 7 >

1 In the fourth year of King Darius, the LORD’s word came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
Hagi Dairusi'ma kinima mani'neno kegavama huno e'neana 4'a kafu evutegeno 9ni ikana Kislevie hu'za nehaza ikamofona 4 kna zupa Ra Anumzamo'a Zekaraia'na amanage huno nasmi'ne.
2 The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech and their men to entreat the LORD’s favor,
Hagi Beteli kumate vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avesizanku antahige'za kehogu, Sareza'ma, Regem-melekine, mago'a vahetaminena huzmante'naze.
3 and to speak to the priests of the house of the LORD of Armies and to the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?”
Zamagra e'za Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamofo nompima eri'zama eneriza kasnampa vahe'ene pristi vahetaminena amanage hu'za eme zamantahigegahaze. Rama'a kafuzagefima zavi krafagema nehuta, ne'zama a'o huta nunamuma hutama e'nonaza huta, 5fu ikampina zavi krafa nehuta ne'zana a'o huta nunamuna huta vugahuno?
4 Then the word of the LORD of Armies came to me, saying,
Anante Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
5 “Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?
Maka ama mopafi vahe'ene pristi vahetaminena amanage hunka zamantahigo, tamagra 70'a kafufima 5fu ikante'ene 7ni ikante'enema ne'zama a'o huta zavi krafa nehuta, nunamuma hu'nazana tamage huta Nagrite ne'zana a'o huta nunamuna hu'nazafi?
6 When you eat and when you drink, do not you eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves?
Hagi ne'zane tinema ne'nazana tamagra'agu nentahita ne'nazafi?
7 Are not these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?’”
Hagi ama ana nanekea Jerusalemi kumapima knare nomani'zante mani'nazageno, ana tavaonte'ma me'nea kumatmimpine sauti kazigama me'nea mopafi Negevi vahe'mo'zama mani vite'zama mani'nageno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a ko'ma mani'naza kasanampa vahetamimpina huvazino, ama ana nanekea ontamasami'neo?
8 The LORD’s word came to Zechariah, saying,
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Zekaraiana asami'ne.
9 “Thus has the LORD of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.
Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, knare huta maka vahe knazana refko nehuta, mago mago'mota asunku ohunte ahunte nehuta knare avu'ava ohunte ahunte hiho.
10 Do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’
Ana nehuta kento a'nene, megusa mofavreramine, ruregati'ma tamagri'enema emani'naza vahe'ene, zamunte omane vahe'enena knazana zamita zamazeri havizana nosuta, tamagra ramagra ontahi haviza antahi havizana huta tamazeri haviza osiho.
11 But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
Hianagi zamagra ana kema antahizankura zamavaresra nehu'za, zamagu'a eri hankaveti'naze. Ana nanekema antahizankura zamefi hunemi'za, zamagesa renkanire'naze.
12 Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law and the words which the LORD of Armies had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the LORD of Armies.
Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'ma Avamu'afima korapa'ma mani'naza kasnampa vahete'ma atregeno'ma e'nea nanekea zamagu'amo'a havegna huno hankaveti'neankiza ontahi'naze. E'ina hu'negu Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a tusi'a arimpa ahezmante'ne.
13 It has come to pass that, as he called and they refused to listen, so they will call and I will not listen,” said the LORD of Armies;
Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a anage hu'ne, Nagrama kema nehuge'za, nagri nanekea ontahi'nazanki'na, zamagrama kema hanage'na, zamagri nanekea ontahigahue huno hu'ne.
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 made the pleasant land desolate.”
Ana nehu'na hankro zahomo kagikagi huno kugusopa eri hareankna hu'na zamazeri atrenuge'za, antahiza keza osu'nesaza mopafi umani emani hugahaze. Ana hanugeno atre'zama vanaza mopamo'a, haviza huno vahe omani ka'ma mopa megahie.
