< Zechariah 7 >

1 In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah on 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 Now the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, along with their men, to plead before the LORD
Hagi Beteli kumate vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avesizanku antahige'za kehogu, Sareza'ma, Regem-melekine, mago'a vahetaminena huzmante'naze.
3 by asking the priests of the house of the LORD of Hosts, as well as the prophets, “Should I weep and fast in the fifth month, as I have done these 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 Hosts came to me, saying,
Anante Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
5 “Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for these seventy years, was it really for Me that you fasted?
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 And when you were eating and drinking, were you not doing so simply for yourselves?
Hagi ne'zane tinema ne'nazana tamagra'agu nentahita ne'nazafi?
7 Are these not the words that the LORD proclaimed through the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were populous and prosperous, and the Negev and the foothills 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 Then the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Zekaraiana asami'ne.
9 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Administer true justice. Show loving devotion and compassion to one another.
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 or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. And do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.’
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 pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they stopped up their ears from hearing.
Hianagi zamagra ana kema antahizankura zamavaresra nehu'za, zamagu'a eri hankaveti'naze. Ana nanekema antahizankura zamefi hunemi'za, zamagesa renkanire'naze.
12 They made their hearts like flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of Hosts.
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 And just as I had called and they would not listen, so when they called I would not listen, says the LORD of Hosts.
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 scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations that they had not known, and the land was left desolate behind them so that no one could come or go. Thus they turned the pleasant land into a desolation.”
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.
