Zechariah 12
1 This is the burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. Thus declares the LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, who forms the spirit of man within him:
Milome. Ma e wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kuom Israel. Jehova Nyasaye mane ochweyo polo moketo mise mar piny kendo omiyo dhano much ngima, wacho kama:
2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples. Judah will be besieged, as well as Jerusalem.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Neuru, abiro miyo Jerusalem bedo gima bwogo ji duto modak machiegni kode. Juda ibiro goyone agengʼa, kaachiel gi Jerusalem.
3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth gather against her, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will be severely injured.
Odiechiengʼno, ka pinje duto mag piny ochokorene mar monje, anami Jerusalem bed lwanda mapek ma kata piny duto riwne to ok odhirre. Ji duto manotem dhire to nohinyre gin giwegi.
4 On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and every rider with madness. I will keep a watchful eye on the house of Judah, but I will strike with blindness all the horses of the nations.
Odiechiengno anago faras ka faras gi kihondko, to joriemb faras nolokre joneko,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho. “Abiro miyo dhood Juda rit makende, to farese mag ogendini mamoko analok muofni.
5 Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts: ‘The people of Jerusalem are my strength, for the LORD of Hosts is their God.’
Eka jotelo mag Juda nowachi e chunygi ni, ‘Jo-Jerusalem gin roteke nikech Jehova Nyasaye Maratego en Nyasachgi.’
6 On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among the sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and on the left, while the people of Jerusalem remain secure there.
“Odiechiengno anami jotend Juda chal gi agulu manie mach mangʼangʼni, kendo ka pilni mach manie kind cham mochiek. Gibiro tieko ji duto modak e alworagi koni gi koni, to Jerusalem to biro dongʼ kare kaka en, ka ji odakie.
7 The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.
“Jehova Nyasaye biro reso miech Juda mokwongo, eka duongʼ ma jo-dhood Daudi kod ma joma odak Jerusalem nigo kik lo dhout Juda mamoko.
8 On that day the LORD will defend the people of Jerusalem, so that the weakest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD going before them.
Odiechiengno Jehova Nyasaye biro chielo joma odak Jerusalem mondo joma nyap mogik e diergi ochal gi Daudi, kendo joka Daudi nochal kaka Nyasaye, ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye otelonegi.
9 So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Odiechiengno anawuog oko mondo atiek pinje duto mamonjo Jerusalem.
10 Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
“Kendo anami joka Daudi kod joma odak Jerusalem chuny mar ngʼwono gi kwayo. Giniket geno margi kuoma, an mane gichwowo, kendo giniywage mana kaka ngʼato ywago wuode ma miderma.
11 On that day the wailing in Jerusalem will be as great as the wailing of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
Chiengʼno nduru ma ji nogo Jerusalem nobed malich, mana ka nduch Hadad Rimon e paw Megido.
12 The land will mourn, each clan on its own: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives,
E kindeno dhoudi manie piny noywag malich ka dhoot ka dhoot ywak kar kendgi. Joka Daudi noywag kar kendgi, ka mondgi bende ywak kar kendgi, joka Nathan noywag kar kendgi kendo mondgi bende noywag kar kendgi.
13 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,
Joka Lawi kod joka Shimei bende noywag kamano, ka mondgi bende ywak kar kendgi.
14 and all the remaining clans and their wives.
Dhoudi mamoko bende noywag kar kendgi, ka mondgi bende ywak kamano.”
