Zechariah 9
1 A word of the Lord: The Lord has come to the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is his resting-place: for the towns of Aram are the Lord's,
Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyũkĩrĩire bũrũri wa Hadaraka, na ĩgakinyĩrĩra Dameski: nĩgũkorwo maitho ma andũ, na ma mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli macũthĩrĩirie Jehova,
2 As well as Hamath, which is by its limit, and Tyre and Zidon, because they are very wise.
na ĩgakinyĩrĩra Hamathu o nakuo, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩhakanĩte nakuo, o na ĩgakinyĩrĩra Turo na Sidoni, o na gũtuĩka andũ akuo maarĩ oogĩ mũno.
3 And Tyre made for herself a strong place, and got together silver like dust and the best gold like the earth of the streets.
Andũ a Turo nĩmeyakĩire kĩĩgitĩro kĩrũmu, na makeigĩra hĩba cia betha nyingĩ ta rũkũngũ, na thahabu nyingĩ ta mahuti ma njĩra-inĩ.
4 See, the Lord will take away her heritage, overturning her power in the sea; and she will be burned up with fire.
No rĩrĩ, Mwathani nĩakarĩtunya ũtonga warĩo, na aanange ũhoti warĩo wa iria-inĩ, narĩo itũũra rĩu nĩrĩgacinwo na mwaki.
5 Ashkelon will see it with fear, and Gaza, bent with pain; and Ekron, for her hope will be shamed: and the king will be cut off from Gaza, and Ashkelon will be unpeopled.
Ashikeloni nĩrĩkeyonera ũhoro ũcio na rĩĩtigĩre, Gaza nĩrĩkehũũrithania nĩ ruo rũnene, o na Ekironi o narĩo, nĩgũkorwo mwĩhoko warĩo nĩũkahooha. Gaza nĩrĩkoorwo nĩ mũthamaki warĩo, narĩo Ashikeloni nĩrĩgathaamwo.
6 And a mixed people will be living in Ashdod, and I will have the pride of the Philistines cut off.
Andũ a bũrũri ũngĩ nĩmagatũũra Ashidodi, na niĩ nĩnganiina mwĩtĩĩo wa Afilisti.
7 And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.
Nĩngaruta thakame tũnua-inĩ twao, na irio iria ngaananie ndĩcirute gatagatĩ ka magego mao. Andũ arĩa magaatigara magaatuĩka a Ngai witũ, na matuĩke atongoria a Juda, nao andũ a Ekironi makahaana ta andũ a Jebusi.
8 And I will put my forces in position round my house, so that there may be no coming and going: and no cruel master will again go through them: for now I have seen his trouble.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩngagitĩra nyũmba yakwa kuuma kũrĩ mbũtũ iria imarehagĩra mbaara. Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ mũhinyanĩrĩria agaacooka gũtooria andũ akwa, nĩgũkorwo rĩu nĩndĩĩoneire ũrĩa maanahinyĩrĩrio.
9 Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.
Kena mũno, wee Mwarĩ wa Zayuni! Anĩrĩra, wee Mwarĩ wa Jerusalemu! Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthamaki waku nĩarooka kũrĩ we, nĩ mũthingu na arĩ na ũhonokio, nĩ mũhooreri na akuuĩtwo nĩ ndigiri, agaikarĩra njaũ ya ndigiri.
10 And he will have the war-carriage cut off from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be cut off: and he will say words of peace to the nations: and his rule will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Nĩngeheria ngaari cia ita kuuma Efiraimu, na njeherie mbarathi cia mbaara kuuma Jerusalemu, naguo ũta wa mbaara-rĩ, nĩũkoinangwo. Nake aanĩrĩre thayũ ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ. Wathani wake-rĩ, ũgaatambũrũka kuuma iria rĩmwe nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ, na kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Farati o nginya ituri cia thĩ.
11 And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.
No ha ũhoro waku-rĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa thakame ya kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndarĩkanĩire nawe, nĩngoohorithia andũ aku arĩa mohetwo, moime irima rĩu rĩtarĩ maaĩ.
12 And they will come back to you, O daughter of Zion, as prisoners of hope: today I say to you that I will give you back twice as much;
Cookai kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩanyu kĩrĩa kĩrũmu, inyuĩ muohetwo mũrĩ na mwĩhoko; o na rĩu nguuga atĩrĩ, nĩngamũcookeria indo cianyu maita meerĩ.
13 For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.
Ngaagonya Juda o taarĩ ũta wakwa, nake Efiraimu atuĩke ta mĩguĩ ya ũta ũcio, ndĩmaiyũrie kuo. Nĩngarahũra ariũ aku, wee Zayuni, mokĩrĩre ariũ aku wee Mũyunani, na ngũtue ta rũhiũ rwa njora rwa njamba ĩrĩ hinya.
14 And the Lord will be seen over them, and his arrow will go out like the thunder-flame: and the Lord God, sounding the war-horn, will go in the storm-winds of the South.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova nĩakoonwo arĩ igũrũ rĩao; mũguĩ wake ũkaarathũka ta rũheni. Mwathani Jehova nĩakahuha karumbeta; agaathiĩ arĩ ihuhũkanio-inĩ cia mwena wa gũthini,
15 The Lord of armies will be a cover for them; and they will overcome, crushing under foot the armed men; they will take their blood for drink like wine: they will be full like the sides of the altar.
nake Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩakamagitĩra. Nao makaamaniina biũ, na matooranie na kũmahũũra na mahiga ma kĩgũtha. Makaanyua na manegene ta marĩĩtwo nĩ ndibei; makaiyũrĩrĩrio ta mbakũri ĩrĩa ĩhũthagĩrwo kũminjaminjĩria koine cia kĩgongona.
16 And the Lord their God will be their saviour in that day, giving them food like the flock of his people: for they will be like the jewels of a crown shining over his land.
Jehova Ngai wao nĩakamahonokia mũthenya ũcio, marĩ andũ a rũũru rwake. Nĩmagakengaga bũrũri-inĩ wake, ta mahiga ma goro marĩ thũmbĩ-inĩ ya mũthamaki.
17 For how good it is and how beautiful! grain will make the young men strong and new wine the virgins.
Kaĩ nĩmagakorwo marĩ a kwendeka, na mathakarĩte-ĩ! Irio cia mĩgũnda nĩigatũma aanake magaacĩre, nayo ndibei ya mũhihano ĩtũme airĩtu o nao magaacĩre.
