Zechariah 1

1 In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:

‌ʻI hono valu ʻoe māhina, mo hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻa Talaiasi, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Sakalaia ko e foha ʻo Pelekia, ko e foha ia ʻo Ito, ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē,

2 The Lord has become angry over the resentful anger of your fathers.

Kuo mamahi ʻaupito ʻa Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.

3 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.

Ko ia ke ke pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; ‘Tafoki mai ʻakimoutolu kiate au, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea te u tafoki atu au kiate kimoutolu: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Turn from your evil ways and from your wicked thoughts. But they did not heed, and neither did they pay attention to me, says the Lord.

‌ʻOua te mou hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻaia naʻe kalanga ki ai ʻae kau palōfita ʻi muʻa, ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, Tafoki mai ʻanai ni mei homou ngaahi hala kovi, mo hoʻomou ngaahi faianga kovi; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ongoʻi, pe fanongo kiate au, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

5 Your fathers, where are they? And will the prophets live unceasingly?

Ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko e fē ʻakinautolu? Pea ko e kau palōfita, he ʻoku moʻui ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata?

6 Yet truly my words and my lawfulness, which I entrusted to my servants the prophets, were indeed comprehended by your fathers, and so they were converted, and they said: Just as the Lord of hosts decided to do to us, according to our ways and according to our inventions, so has he done to us.

Ka ko ʻeku ngaahi lea, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻaia naʻaku tuku ki he kau palōfita, ʻikai naʻa nau hoko ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai? Pea naʻa nau foki mai, mo nau pehē, Hangē ko ia naʻe finangalo ʻa Sihova ke fai kiate kitautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki hotau ngaahi hala, pea mo ʻetau ngaahi faianga, ko ia pe kuo ne fai kiate kitautolu.’”

7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is called Shevat, 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:

ʻI hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe māhina, ʻae māhina ko Sipate, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Talaiasi, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Sakalaia, ko e foha ʻo Pelekia, ko e foha ʻo Ito, ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē,

8 I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.

Naʻaku mamata ʻi he pō, pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe heka ki ha hoosi kulokula, pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau ko e maile, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he teleʻa; pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae fanga hoosi kulokula, naʻe pulepule mo lavatea.

9 And I said, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me, “I will reveal to you what these are.”

Pea naʻaku pehē ai, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ko hai ʻakinautolu na?” Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe he ʻāngelo naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “Te u fakahā kiate koe ʻa hono ʻuhinga.

10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth.”

Pea naʻe tali mai ʻe he tangata, ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau ko e maile, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko kinautolu ʻena kuo fekau atu ʻe Sihova ke feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi māmani.”

11 And those who stood among the myrtle trees answered the angel of the Lord, and they said, “We have walked through the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited and is at rest.”

Pea naʻe tali ʻekinautolu ki he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau ko e maile, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mau feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi māmani, pea vakai, ʻoku nofo lelei pe ʻa māmani kotoa pē, pea ʻoku fiemālie.”

12 And the angel of the Lord answered and said, “Lord of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, with which you have been angry? This is now the seventieth year.”

Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehēange, “ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻo taʻeʻaloʻofa ki Selūsalema, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, ʻaia kuo ke houhau ki ai ʻi he taʻu ni ʻe fitungofulu?”

13 And the Lord answered the angel, who had been speaking with me, good words, consoling words.

Pea naʻe tali ʻaki ʻe Sihova ki he ʻāngelo naʻe talanoa mo au, ʻae ngaahi lea lelei mo e ngaahi lea fakafiemālie.

14 And the angel, who was speaking with me, said to me: Cry out, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great zeal.

Ko ia naʻe pehē ai kiate au ʻe he ʻāngelo naʻa ma talanoa, “Kalanga, ʻa koe ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoku ou fuaʻa koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema, pea mo Saione ʻi he fuaʻa ʻoku lahi.

15 And, with a great anger, I am angry with the wealthy nations. Though I had been angry a little, truly they advanced further in evil.

Pea ʻoku ou mamahi ʻaupito ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku fakafiemālie: he naʻe kei siʻi pe ʻeku mamahi ka naʻa nau fakatupu pe ʻae mamahi.

16 Because of this, thus says the Lord: I will be turned back, towards Jerusalem, with mercies; and my house will be built upon this, says the Lord of hosts. And the building line will be extended over Jerusalem.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova; kuo u foki mai mo e ʻaloʻofa ki Selūsalema, ʻe langa hoku fale ʻi ai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea ʻe falō atu ʻae afo ki Selūsalema.”

17 Until then, cry out saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Until then, my cities will flow with good things, and, until then, the Lord will comfort Zion, and, until then, he will single out Jerusalem.

Toe kalanga foki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; ʻe toe folofolahi atu ʻa hoku ngaahi kolo, ko e meʻa ʻi he monūʻia; pea ʻe toe fakafiemālieʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione, pea te ne toe fili ʻa Selūsalema.”

18 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw. And behold: four horns.

Pea naʻaku toki hanga hake hoku mata, pea u mamata, pea vakai, ko e nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe fā.

19 And I said to the angel, who was speaking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah and Israel and Jerusalem.”

Pea ne u fehuʻi ki he ʻāngelo, ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “Ko e hā ʻena?” ʻAia naʻa ne pehē mai, “Ko e ngaahi nifo ʻena, ʻaia kuo ne fakahēʻi ʻa Siuta, mo ʻIsileli, pea mo Selūsalema.”

20 And the Lord showed me four workmen.

Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova kiate au ʻae kau tufunga ʻe toko fā.

21 And I said, “What have these come to do?” He spoke, saying, “These are the horns that have winnowed Judah, through every single man, and none of them lifted up his head. And these have come to frighten them away, so as to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which have lifted up a horn over the land of Judah, so as to scatter it.”

Pea naʻaku pehē ai ʻeau, “Kuo haʻu ʻakinautolu ke fai ʻae hā?” Pea ne folofola mai, ʻo pehē, “Ko e ngaahi nifo ʻena ʻaia ne ne fakahēʻi ʻa Siuta, pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa hanga hake ʻe ha tangata ʻa hono mata: ka kuo haʻu ʻakinautolu na ke maumauʻi ʻakinautolu, mo lī atu kituʻa ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe kau Senitaile, ʻakinautolu naʻe hiki hake honau nifo ki he fonua ʻo Siuta, ko hono fakahēʻi.”
