< Zechariah 1 >

1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Oubi godo amola ode ageyadu amo Da: liase ea Besia sogega ouligisu hou amoga, Hina Gode da amo sia: ne iasu amo Segalaia (Belegaia egefe amola Idou ea aowa) ema i.
2 The Lord has been very angry with your fathers:
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Segalaiama amo sia: Ea fi dunu ilima alofele olelema: ne sia: i, “Na, Hina Gode, da dilia aowalali ilima bagadewane ougi galu.
3 And you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord of armies: Come back to me, says the Lord of armies, and I will come back to you.
Be wali Na da dilima sia: sa, ‘Nama buhagima! Amasea, Na da dilima bu misunu!
4 Be not like your fathers, to whom the voice of the earlier prophets came, saying, Be turned now from your evil ways and from your evil doings: but they did not give ear to me or take note, says the Lord.
Dilia aowalali ilia hou agoane mae hamoma. Hemonega, balofede dunu da Na sia: ne iasu ilima i. Ilia da wadela: i hou fisimusa: ilima sia: i. Be ilia da Na sia: hamedafa nabi amola Na hamoma: ne sia: be nabawane hame hamosu.
5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they go on living for ever?
Dia aowalali amola amo balofede huluane ilia da bogoi dagoi.
6 But my words and my orders, which I gave to my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? and turning back they said, As it was the purpose of the Lord of armies to do to us, in reward for our ways and our doings, so has he done.
Na hawa: hamosu balofede dunu amo ilimadi, Na da dilia aowalali ilima hamoma: ne sia: i amola sisasu dawa: digima: ne sia: ne i. Be ilia amo sia: mae nabane, se dabe lai dagoi. Amalalu, ilia da bu sinidigili, amo Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da ilia hamoi defele amola Na ilegei defele, se dabe ilima i, amo da dafawane ilia da sia: i dagoi.”
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Eso 24 amola oubi gidayale (oubi Siba: de) amola ode ageyadu Da: liase ea Besia soge ouligisu amoga, Hina Gode da gasi afaega nama esala ba: su iasi.
8 I saw in the night a man on a red horse, between the mountains in the valley, and at his back were horses, red, black, white, and of mixed colours.
Na da ba: loba, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu yoi hosi da: iya fila heda: le ahoanebe ba: i. E da ‘medele’ ifa labala fago, amo ganodini aliligibi ba: i. Ea baligia hosi eno, mogili yoi, mogili hoholei, mogili ahea: iai, lelebe ba: i.
9 Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who was talking to me said to me, I will make clear to you what they are.
Na da ema adole ba: i, “Hina! Amo hosi ilia bai da adi olelesala: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da dima amo ea bai olelemu!
10 And the man who was between the mountains, answering me, said, These are those whom the Lord has sent to go up and down through the earth.
Hina Gode da ili osobo bagade hou abodelalu masa: ne asunasi.”
11 And the man who was between the mountains, answering, said to the angel of the Lord, We have gone up and down through the earth, and all the earth is quiet and at rest.
Hosi ilia da a: igele dunuma amane sia: ne i, “Ninia da osobo bagade huluane hohogola lalu. Ninia da ba: loba, osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da gasa hamedene amola banenesi dagoi ba: i.”
12 Then the angel of the Lord, answering, said, O Lord of armies, how long will it be before you have mercy on Jerusalem and on the towns of Judah against which your wrath has been burning for seventy years?
Amalalu, a:igele dunu da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Di da waha ode 70 agoane, Yelusaleme fi amola Yuda moilai bai bagade hamone gagai fi ilima ougi galu. Di da habogala ilima asigi hou bu olelema: bela: ?”
13 And the Lord gave an answer in good and comforting words to the angel who was talking to me.
Hina Gode da a: igele dunu ea dogo denesima: ne, ema dabe adole i.
14 And the angel who was talking to me said to me, Let your voice be loud and say, These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am greatly moved about the fate of Jerusalem and of Zion.
Amola a: igele da nama Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ea sia: i amo sisia: i lama: ne amane sia: i, “Na da Yelusaleme, Na Hadigi Moilai bai bagade, amoma bagade fofagisa.
15 And I am very angry with the nations who are living untroubled: for when I was only a little angry, they made the evil worse.
Amola, Na da ilima ha lai fifi asi gala amo da hahawane amola olofole esala, ilima bagadewane ougi. Na da Na fi dunuma fonobahadi ougiba: le, ilima se dabe i. Na da eno fifi asi gala dunuma amo hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, ilia da Na fi dunuma gegebeba: le, ilima se bagade i. Be ilia da Na hamoma: ne sia: i baligili, Na fi dunuma se baligili i.
16 So this is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Jerusalem with mercies; my house is to be put up in her, says the Lord of armies, and a line is to be stretched out over Jerusalem.
Amaiba: le, Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima asigi hou olelema: ne, Yelusalemega buhagi. Na Debolo da bu hahamoi amola Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade da bu buga: le gagui dagoi ba: mu.”
17 And again let your voice be loud and say, This is what the Lord of armies has said: My towns will again be overflowing with good things, and again the Lord will give comfort to Zion and take Jerusalem for himself.
Amola a: igele da nama na da eno sisia: i lama: ne amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, ‘Na moilai bai bagade ilia da bu bagade gagui ba: mu. Amola Na da Yelusaleme fi bu fidimu amola Yelusaleme da Na moilai bai bagadedafa Na da bu sia: mu.’”
18 And lifting up my eyes I saw four horns.
Esala ba: su eno ganodini, na da bulamagau hono biyaduyale ba: i.
19 And I said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have sent Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem in flight.
Na da a: igele dunu (amo da nama sia: dasu) ema amane adole ba: i, “Amo hono ilia bai da adila: ?” E da nama bu adole i, “Ilia bai da gasa bagade fifi asi gala amo da Yuda, Isala: ili amola Yelusaleme amo fi dunu afagogolesi dagoi.”
20 And the Lord gave me a vision of four metal-workers.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da ha: ma gagui hawa: hamosu dunu biyaduyale nama olei.
21 Then I said, What have these come to do? And he said, These are the horns which sent Judah in flight, and kept him from lifting up his head: but these men have come to send fear on them and to put down the nations who are lifting up their horns against the land of Judah to send it in flight.
Na da amane adole ba: i, “Amo dunu ilia adi hamomusa: misibala: ? E da dabe adole i,” Fifi asi gala ha lai dunu ilia da Yuda fi dunu hasalasili, afagogolesi. Ha: ma gagui dunu da amo ha lai fifi asi gala amo beda: ma: ne hamone, hasalasimusa: misi dagoi.”
