Zacharias 7
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, [that] the word of the Lord came to Zacharias on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, which is Chaseleu.
In yac se akakosr ma Darius el Tokosra Fulat, in len se akakosr ke malem se akeu (malem in Kislev), LEUM GOD El ase nu sik sie kas in sulkakinyuk.
2 And Sarasar and Arbeseer the king and his men sent to Bethel, and [that] to propitiate the Lord,
Mwet Bethel elos supwal Sharezer, Regemmelech ac mwet mukul sayalos, in som nu in Tempul lun LEUM GOD Kulana, in pre ke akinsewowo lun LEUM GOD
3 speaking to the priests that were in the house of the Lord Almighty, and to the prophets, saying, The holy offering has come in hither in the fifth month, as it has done already many years.
ac in siyuk sin mwet tol ac mwet palu mwe siyuk se inge; “Ya kut enenu in srakna orek asor ke musalla lun Tempul, ac lalo ke malem se aklimekosr, oana kut muta oru ke yac puspis nwe inge uh?”
4 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
Ac pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD ma tuku nu sik.
5 Speak to the whole people of the land, and to the priests, saying, Though you fasted or lamented in the fifth or seventh [months] (yes, behold, these seventy years) have you at all fasted to me?
El fahk, “Fahkang nu sin mwet in facl se inge ac mwet tol, lah ke pacl ma elos lalo ac tung ke malem aklimekosr ac akitkosr ke pulan yac itngoul inge, elos tia oru in akfulatyeyu.
6 And if you eat or drink, do you not eat and drink for yourselves?
Ac ke pacl se ma elos mongo ac nim uh, elos oru na nu ke lungse lalos sifacna.”
7 Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and her cities round about her, and the hill country and the low country was inhabited?
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sin mwet palu meet ah, ke pacl se Jerusalem tuh yohk kasrup la ac sessesla ke mwet, ac ke pacl se ma pukanten mwet tuh muta, tia in acn ma rauneak siti ah mukena, a oayapa ke tafunyen eir ac pe eol layen nu roto ah.
8 And the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying,
LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel Zechariah:
9 Thus says the Lord Almighty; Judge righteous judgement, and deal mercifully and compassionately every one with his brother:
“Pacl loes somla nga tuh sang sap soko inge nu sin mwet luk: ‘Kowos in liyaung tuh nununku suwohs in orek, ac tuh kowos in kulang ac pakoten nu sin sie sin sie.
10 and oppress not the widow, or the fatherless, or the stranger, or the poor; and let not one of you remember in his heart the injury of his brother.
Nimet kowos akkemkatuye katinmas, tulik mukaimtal, mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos, ku kutena mwet su enenu. Ac nimet suk inkanek in akkeokye sie sin sie.’
11 But they refused to attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear.
“Tusruktu mwet luk elos likkekelana ac tia lungse porongo. Elos kaliya nunak lalos
12 And they made their heart disobedient, so as not to listen to my law, and the words which the Lord Almighty sent forth by his Spirit by the former prophets: so there was great wrath from the Lord Almighty.
ac akupaye insialos in keke oana eot uh. Mweyen elos tia lohng kas in luti su nga supu sin mwet palu su tuh muta in pacl meet ah, ma inge arulana akkasrkusrakyeyu.
13 And it shall come to pass, [that] as he spoke, and they listened not, so they shall cry, and I will not listen, says the Lord Almighty.
Ke sripen elos tuh tia lipsre ke pacl nga kaskas uh, oru nga tia pacna topkolos ke pacl elos pre uh.
14 And I will cast them out amongst all the nations, whom they know not; and the land behind them shall be made utterly destitute of any going through or returning: yes they have made the choice land a desolation.
Nga pokolosla oana sie paka, tuh elos in muta fin acn lun mwet saya. Acn na wowo se inge tuh filfillana oan, wanginna mwet muta fac.”
