Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying:
In malem se akoalkosr ke yac se akluo in pacl Darius el Tokosra Fulat lun Persia, LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel mwet palu Zechariah, su wen natul Berechiah, su ma natul Iddo.
2 “The LORD was very angry with your fathers.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahkang nu sel Zechariah in fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Nga, LEUM GOD, tuh arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet matu lowos,
3 So tell the people that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Return to Me, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of Hosts.’
tusruktu inge nga fahk nu suwos, ‘Kowos foloko nu yuruk, ac nga fah folokot nu yuruwos.
4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Turn now from your evil ways and deeds.’ But they did not listen or pay attention to Me, declares the LORD.
Nimet kowos oana mwet matu lowos. In pacl loes somla, mwet palu elos tuh fahkak kas luk nu selos, ac fahk mu elos in tia sifil moulkin moul koluk, ac tia sifil oru ma koluk.’ A elos tiana porongeyu ku akosyu.
5 Where are your fathers now? And the prophets, do they live forever?
Mwet matu lowos ac mwet palu ingo elos wanginla.
6 But did not My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, overtake your fathers? They repented and said, ‘Just as the LORD of Hosts purposed to do to us according to our ways and deeds, so He has done to us.’”
Nga tuh sang sap luk nu sin mwet kulansap luk, mwet palu, kas in akesmakyalos, tusruktu elos tiana lohang nu kac, oru elos tuh keokkin seakos lalos. Na elos auliyak ac fahkak lah elos akilen lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, tuh kalyaelos fal nu ke ouiyalos, oana ke nga sulela in oru.”
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo.
In yac se akluo lal Tokosra Fulat Darius, ke len aklongoul akosr in malem se aksingoul sie (malem in Shebat), LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sik sie mwe fahkak in sie aruruma ke fong.
8 I looked out into the night and saw a man riding on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in the hollow, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.
Nga tuh liye mwet se kasrusr fin soko horse srusra. El tui inmasrlon sak myrtle infahlfal se, ac oasr pac kutu horse tokol — kutu srusra, kutu tuhntun, ac kutu fasrfasr.
9 “What are these, my lord?” I asked. And the angel who was speaking with me replied, “I will show you what they are.”
Na nga siyuk sel, “Leum se, mea kalmen horse ingan?” Na lipufan se ma kaskas nu sik ah topuk ac fahk, “Nga fah akkalemye nu sum lah mea kalmac.
10 Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, “They are the ones the LORD has sent to patrol the earth.”
LEUM GOD El sap elos in som ac tuni lah mea orek faclu.”
11 And the riders answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and tranquil.”
Na elos tuh fahk nu sin lipufan sac, “Kut foroht forma fin faclu nufon ac konauk tuh na faclu arulana wanginla ku la, ac misla na.”
12 Then the angel of the LORD said, “How long, O LORD of Hosts, will You withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been angry these seventy years?”
Na lipufan sac fahk, “LEUM GOD Kulana, kom tuh kasrkusrak sin Jerusalem ac sin siti nukewa lun Judah ke yac itngoulla. Ac putaka lula na kom fah akkalemye pakomuta lom nu selos?”
13 So the LORD spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who was speaking with me.
LEUM GOD El topuk lipufan sac ke kas in akwoye,
14 Then the angel who was speaking with me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,
ac lipufan sac fahk nu sik nga in sulkakin kas ma LEUM GOD El fahk inge: “Nga arulana nunku yohk ke Jerusalem, siti mutal luk,
15 but I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease. For I was a little angry, but they have added to the calamity.’
ac nga kasrkusrak sin mutunfacl su okak ac mutana in misla, mweyen ke pacl se ma nga srusruok mulat luk sin mwet luk, mutunfacl ingan tuh akyokye keok nu sin mwet luk upa liki meet ah.
16 Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there My house will be rebuilt, declares the LORD of Hosts, and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.’
Na pa nga foloko nu Jerusalem in tuh akkalemye pakomuta luk nu ke siti sac. Tempul luk ac fah folokyak, ac siti uh ac fah sifil musaiyukla.”
17 Proclaim further that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘My cities will again overflow with prosperity; the LORD will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’”
Lipufan sac fahk pac nu sik in sulkakin kas inge: “LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk mu siti nukewa lal ac fah sifilpa akkasrupyeyuk, ac El fah sifilpa eisla Jerusalem tuh in ma lal sifacna.”
18 Then I looked up and saw four horns.
In sie pac aruruma nga liye koen cow akosr.
19 So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he told me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
Na nga siyuk sin lipufan se ma kaskas nu sik ah, “Mea kalmen koac inge?” El topuk ac fahk, “Elos akkalemye ku lulap lun faclu ma akfahsryelik mwet Judah, mwet Israel, ac mwet Jerusalem.”
20 Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen.
Na LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sik ac nga liye mwet orekma akosr utuk hammer.
21 “What are these coming to do?” I asked. And He replied, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise his head; but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations that have lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
Ac nga siyuk, “Mea mwet inge tuku in oru uh?” El topuk ac fahk, “Elos tuku in aksangengye ac kunausla mutunfacl nukewa su tuh arulana itungya acn Judah ac akfahsryelik mwet we.”
