Zechariah 8
1 Then the Lord Almighty sent another message to me.
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amo sia: ne iasu, Segalaiama i,
2 This is what the Lord Almighty says. I am jealously protective of the people of Zion; I am extremely passionate about them.
“Na da Yelusaleme fidimusa: bagade dadawa: la. Bai Na da Yelusaleme fi dunuma bagade oso dogone asigisa. Na da Yelusaleme fi dunuma asigiba: le, Na da ilia ha lai dunu ilima bagadewane ougi gala.
3 This is what the Lord says. I have returned to Zion, and I will live in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the “Faithful City,” and the mountain of the Lord Almighty the “Holy Mountain.”
Na da Yelusaleme, Na hadigi moilai bai bagade fi ilima buhagili amogai esalumu. Amasea, ilia Yelusalemega Dafawanedafa Moilai bai bagade dio asulimu. Amola Gadodafa Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ea goumi, amoma ilia da Hadigidafa Goumi dio asulimu.
4 This is what the Lord Almighty says. Old people will be able to sit again in the streets of Jerusalem, each with their walking sticks they need because of their age.
Bu enowane, da: i hamoi dunu amola uda da bagadedafa da: i hamoi ba: le, ilia da galiamoga ili ahoabe da Yelusaleme gagoi ganodini esalebe ba: mu.
5 The streets will be full of boys and girls playing happily.
Amola bu enowane, logoba: le da dunu mano amola uda mano bagohamedafa da hehedela lafia: lebe ba: mu.
6 This is what the Lord Almighty says. It may seem too good to be true now, to you who remain of my people in these days. But is it impossible for me to do? asks the Lord Almighty.
Amo hou da Isala: ili fi dunu waha hame bogoi esalebe, ilia hamomu defele hame ba: mu. Be Na da amo hamomu defele gala.
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says. I will save my people from the countries to the east and to the west.
Na da Na fi dunu eno sogega mugululi oule asi, amo gaga: mu.
8 I will bring them back and they will live in Jerusalem, and they will be my people and I will be their God, trustworthy and true.
Na da ili gusudili amola guma: dini amoga lale, bu Yelusaleme amoga esaloma: ne oule misunu. Ilia da Na fi dunu esalumu, amola Na da ilia Gode esalumu. Amola Na da mae fisili, moloidafawane ili ouligimu.
9 This is what the Lord Almighty says. Be strong, so that the Temple may be completed. Everyone who is here today is listening to the same words from the prophets who were present on the day when the foundation of the Lord Almighty's Temple was laid.
Mae beda: ma! Yelusaleme fi dunu da Na Debolo Diasu bai fa: lalu, balofede dunu da Na waha sia: i liligi dilima sia: i. Amola dilia da amo waha bu naba.
10 Before that time there wasn't enough for people or for animals. No one could live normally because they were not safe from their enemies, and I set everyone against each other.
Amo eso hame doaga: iyawane, dunu da hame gaguiba: le, dunu o ohe hawa: hamomusa: bidi lamu da hamedei ba: i. Amola ha lai dunu bagohameba: le, gaga: su ba: mu da hamedei ba: i. Bai Na da dunu ili gobele gegema: ne hamonesi.
11 But now I won't treat those who remain of my people like I treated them before, declares the Lord Almighty.
Be Isala: ili fi dunu hame bogoi esalebe, ilima Na da wali hou hisu hamonana.
12 They will sow in peace; the vine will produce grapes; the soil will grow crops and the heavens will water them. I will make sure this happens to all those who remain of this people.
Ilia da olofoiwane ilia ha: i manu sagamu. Waini efe da fage legemu, osoboga da ha: i manu heda: mu, amola gibu bagade da sa: imu. Na da amo hahawane dogolegele hou huluane Na fi dunu hame bogoi esalebe, ilima hamomu.
13 People of Judah and Israel: just as you were considered a curse among the nations, so I will save you and you will become a blessing. Don't be afraid! Be strong!
Yuda dunu amola Isala: ili dunu! Musa: ga fi dunu da eno enoia amane gagabusu aligima: ne ilegele sia: i, ‘Gugunufinisisu hou amo da Yuda amola Isala: ili fi ilima doaga: i da dilima doaga: ma: ne ninia da ilegesa.’ Be Na da dili gaga: mu. Amasea, amo ga fi dunu da eno enoia amane sia: mu, ‘Hahawane dogolegele hou amo da Yuda amola Isala: ili fi ilima doaga: i, amo defele dilima doaga: mu da defea.’ Amaiba: le, dilia dogo denesini, mae beda: ma!”
14 For this is what the Lord Almighty says: I decided to bring disaster on you when your forefathers angered me and I did not change my mind.
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Dilia aowalalia da Na ougima: ne hamobeba: le, Na da ili wadela: lesima: ne ilegei. Amola Na asigi dawa: su mae afadenene, dafawane amo ilegei hamoi dagoi.
15 But now I have made up my mind to do good to Jerusalem and the people of Judah. Don't be afraid!
Be wali Na da Yelusaleme fi amola Yuda fi ilima hahawane dogolegele ima: ne ilegelala. Amaiba: le, mae beda: ma!
16 This what you have to do: Tell each other the truth. In your courts judge honestly and truthfully, which makes for peace.
Dilia amo hou agoane hamoma; ‘Eno enoma dafawane sia: fawane sia: ma! Fofada: su diasu ganodini, moloidafa hou (hou amo da olofosu iaha) amo fawane hamoma.
17 Don't think up evil schemes against one another. Stop your love of lies. I hate all this, declares the Lord.
Dilia eno enoma se imunusa: mae ilegema. Dilia fofada: su ganodini, ilegele sia: sea, ogogosu sia: mae sia: ma. Na da ogogosu amola moloi hame hou amola gegene nimi dasu hou huluane bagade higasa.’”
18 The Lord Almighty gave me another message.
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Segalaiama amane sia: ne i,
19 This is what the Lord Almighty says: The fasts you observe in the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth month will become times of joy and happiness for the people of Judah—they will be festivals of celebration. But love truth and peace.
“Ha: i mae nawene gilisisu dilia da oubi biyadu amola bi amola fesu amola nabu amoga hamosa, amo Na da afadenene Yuda dunu ilia nodone hahawane lolo nasu bu hamomu. Dilia asigi hou, dafawane hou amola olofosu hou amo hanama!”
20 This is what the Lord Almighty says: People from many nations and cities will yet come to Jerusalem,
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Eso da mana, amoga ga fi dunu amo da moilai bai bagade bagohame amoga esalebe da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega misunu.
21 going from one city to another saying, “Let us be sure to go and seek the Lord and ask for the blessing of the Lord Almighty. I myself am going!”
Moilai bai bagade dunu eno da moilai bai bagade dunu enoma amane sia: mu, ‘Ninia da Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ema nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne amola Ea hahawane dogolegele fidisu hogole ba: ma: ne masunu. Nini ahoa: di! Misa!’
22 Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to ask for the blessing of the Lord Almighty and seek the Lord.
Fifi asi gala bagohame ilia dunu amola gasa bagade fifi asi gala fi dunu ilia da Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: amola Ema Ea hahawane dogolegele fidisu edegema: ne, Yelusalemema misunu.
23 This is what the Lord Almighty says: At that time ten men from different nations and languages will grab hold of the hem of a Jewish man's robe and plead, “Please take us with you for we have heard that God is with you.”
Amo esoha, ga fi dunu nabuane gala da Yu dunu afae amoma misini, ema amane sia: mu, ‘Ninia dima hobea misunu hou amo gilisili ba: mu hanai gala. Bai Gode da dili esala, amo sia: be ninia nabi dagoi.’”
