Zechariah 12
1 A prophecy: This message came from the Lord concerning Israel, a declaration of the Lord who spread out the heavens, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who placed the breath of life within human beings.
Pweng se inge ma sin LEUM GOD me ke acn Israel, LEUM GOD su asroelik kusrao, orala faclu, ac sang moul nu sin mwet uh. El fahk,
2 Look! I am going to make Jerusalem like a cup containing alcoholic drink that will make all the surrounding nations stagger like drunks when they come to attack Judah and Jerusalem.
“Nga fah oru acn Jerusalem in oana sie cup in wain. Mutanfahl su raunella elos ac fah nim kac ac tukulkul oana mwet sruhi. Ac ke elos ac utyak ac raunela in mweuni acn Jerusalem, na siti lula lun Judah nukewa ac fah rauniyukla pac.
3 On that day I will make Jerusalem like a heavy rock to all peoples. Anyone who tries to lift the rock will injure themselves badly. All the nations will join together to attack Jerusalem.
Tusruktu in pacl sac, nga ac fah oru tuh acn Jerusalem in oana sie eot toasr — kutena mutunfacl su srike in srukak eot sac ac fah sun ongoiya lulap. Mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu ac fah toeni in mweunel.
4 On that day I will make every horse panic-stricken and every rider go mad, declares the Lord, but I will watch over the people of Judah while I blind all the horses of their enemies.
In pacl sac nga ac fah aklangingye horse natulos nukewa, ac oru tuh mwet kasrusr fin horse uh in wella. Nga ac karingin mwet Judah, tusruktu nga fah konela mutun horse nutin mwet lokoalok lalos.
5 Then the families of Judah will say to themselves, the people of Jerusalem are strong in their God, the Lord Almighty.
Na sou lulap lun Judah fah fahk nu selos sifacna, ‘LEUM GOD Kulana El sang ku lal nu sin mwet lal su muta Jerusalem.’
6 On that day I will make the families of Judah like burning coals in a wood, like a flaming torch in a field of straw. They will burn up to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while the people of Jerusalem will live safely in their city.
“Ac in pacl sac nga fah oru sou lulap lun Judah in oana sie e lulap insak uh, ku in sie ima in wheat ma matula — elos ac fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa ma raunelosyak. Ac mwet Jerusalem ac fah muta na misla in siti uh.
7 The Lord will give the victory to the soldiers of Judah first so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not be greater than that of Judah.
“Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sang kutangla nu sin mwet mweun lun Judah meet, tuh akfulat ma fwilin tulik natul David oayapa akfulat ma mwet muta Jerusalem uh ac eis, fah tia yohk liki ma acn saya lun Judah ac eis.
8 On that day the Lord will place a shield around the people of Jerusalem so that even the clumsiest of them will be as skilled a warrior as David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord who leads them.
Ke pacl sac LEUM GOD El ac fah loango mwet su muta in Jerusalem, ac oru tuh finne mwet munas oemeet inmasrlolos in fah ku oana kuiyal David meet. Fwilin tulik natul David ac fah kololos oana lipufan lun LEUM GOD, aok, oana God sifacna.
9 On that day I will start destroying all those nations that attack Jerusalem.
In pacl sac nga fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa su srike in mweuni Jerusalem.
10 I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They will look at me whom they pierced, and they will wail in grief over him, mourning as for an only child, weeping bitterly as for a firstborn.
“Nga fah nwakla fwilin tulik natul David ac mwet saya in acn Jerusalem ke ngunin pakoten ac ngunin pre. Elos ac fah ngetang liye el su elos tuh fakisya ah misa, ac elos fah asor kacl oana elos su asor ke tulik sefanna natu. Elos fah arulana tungi, oana elos su wounse mukul natu uh misa.
11 On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning in Hadad-Rimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
In pacl sac asor in acn Jerusalem ac fah yohk oana asor kacl Hadad Rimmon in acn tupasrpasr lun Megiddo.
12 The land will mourn, every family alone: the family house of David alone and their women by themselves, the families of Nathan,
Mwet in facl sac ac fah srisrielik in oru asor lalos: mukul in sou lal David ac fah sifacna oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos; mukul in sou lal Nathan fah sifacna oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos;
13 Levi, and Shimei—
mukul in sou lal Levi fah sifacna oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos; ac mukul in sou lal Shimei fah oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos.
14 and all the surviving families and their women, each group mourning alone by themselves.
Ac sou nukewa su lula, kais sie fah sifacna oru asor la, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos.”
