Zechariah 9
1 A prophecy: A message from the Lord to the land of Hadrach, and Damascus its main objective. For the eyes of human beings together with all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord,
KA wanana o ka olelo a Iehova i ka aina o Haderaka, A o Damaseko kona wahi o hoomaha ai; No ka mea, ua kau pono ia ka maka o na kanaka, a me ka ohana a pau o ka Iseraela maluna o Iehova:
2 and Hamath too since it is close by. Also Tyre and Sidon for they are very wise.
A o Hamata hoi kona palena; O Turo hoi, a me Zidona, no ka mea, ua naauao loa ia.
3 The people of Tyre built a fortress, and piled up silver like dust and gold like the dirt of the street.
A kukulu iho la o Turo i pakaua nona, A ahu iho la i ke kala e like me ka lepo, A me ke gula e like me ka naele o na alanui.
4 But look at what will happen. The Lord will take away everything they have, and knock down their strong defenses into the sea. The city will be burned down.
Aia hoi, na ka Haku ia e hookuke aku, A e hoolei aku i kona waiwai iloko o ke kai; A e hoopauia auanei oia i ke ahi.
5 The people of Ashkelon will see this and be terrified; those in Gaza will thrash around in agony like a woman giving birth; and the people of Ekron too, because their hopes are shattered. The king of Gaza will be killed, and Ashkelon will be deserted.
E ike auanei o Asekelona me ka makau; O Gaza hoi, a e haalulu nui loa ia; A me Ekerona; no ka mea, e poho auanei kona manaolana; E make ke alii o Gaza, A e kanaka ole auanei o Asekelona.
6 Mixed-race people will live in Ashdod, and I will wipe out the Philistine's pride.
A e noho ka malihini ma Asedoda, A e hooki iho no wau i ke kiekie o ka poe Pilisetia.
7 I will remove the blood-filled meat from their mouths; the unclean food from their jaws. Those who remain will belong to our God—they shall become like a family of Judah—and those from Ekron will become part of my people, just as the Jebusites did.
E lawe aku hoi au i kona koko mailoko mai o kona waha, A me kona mau mea hoopailua mai o kona mau niho. Aka, o ka mea i waihoia, no ko kakou Akua ia, E like auanei ia me ka lunaaina, ma ka Iuda, A o Ekerona hoi me he Iebusi la:
8 I will make my camp in my Temple to guard it from invaders, and no oppressors will conquer them, for now I myself am keeping watch.
E hoomoana no wau a puni ka hale o'u, no ka poe kaua, I ko lakou hele ae ana a i ka hoi mai ana; Aole hoi e puka hou ae kekahi alii hooluhi iwaena o lakou; No ka mea, ua ike no ka'u mau maka.
9 Be happy and celebrate, people of Zion! Shout loudly, people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He does what is right and has salvation; he is humble, riding on a donkey—on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
E hauoli nui, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona, E hooho olioli, e ke kaikamahine o Ierusalema; Aia hoi, e hele mai ana kou alii iou la: He hoopono, a he hoola no kona; He akahai no, a e noho ana maluna o ka hoki, o ke keiki hoi a ka hoki.
10 (I will remove the chariots from Ephraim and the warhorses from Jerusalem. I will destroy the bows used in battle.) He will proclaim peace to the nations, and he will rule from sea to sea, from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
E hoopau auanei hoi au i na halekaa mai ko Eperaima aku, A me ka lio mai Ierusalema aku: E hookiia hoi ke kakaka kaua; A e hai aku auanei oia i ka maluhia i na lahuikanaka; A mai kekahi kai a hiki i kela kai kona aupuni, A mai ka muliwai aku a hiki i na palena o ka honua.
11 And as for you, because my agreement with you, sealed with blood, I will set you free from the waterless pit.
O oe hoi, no ke koko o kau berita, E hookuu aku no au i kou poe paahao, Mailoko ae o ka lua meki, o kahi wai ole.
12 Return to the stronghold, you prisoners who have hope! Today I promise I will repay you double what you lost.
E huli ae oukou i ka pakaua, e ka poe pio manaolana; No ka mea, ke hai aku nei au i neia la, E uku palua aku no au nau.
13 I will use Judah as my bow, and I will load it with Ephraim my arrow. I will call up you men of Zion to fight against you men of Greece, wielding you like a warrior's sword.
No ka mea, e lena auanei au i ka Iuda no'u, E lena hoi au i ka Eperaima e like me ka kakaka, Alaila e hoeueu ae hoi au i kau mau keiki, e Ziona; E ku e i kau mau keiki, e Iavana, A e hoolilo au ia oe e like me ka pahikaua a ke kanaka koa.
14 Then the Lord will appear over his people and his arrow will flash like lightning! The Lord God will blow the trumpet and march out like a windstorm from the south.
A e ikea auanei o Iehova maluna o lakou, A e lele aku kona pua e like me ka uila; A e hookani o Iehova ka Haku i ka pu, A e hele aku no ia iloko o na makani ino o ke kukuluhema.
15 The Lord Almighty will protect them. They will destroy their enemies, conquering them with slingshots. They will drink and shout loudly like people who are drunk. They will be filled like a bowl, soaked liked the corners of an altar.
Na Iehova o na kaua lakou e hoomalu mai; E ai iho lakou, a e hehi lakou maluna o na ala o ka maa; a e inu lakou, a e walaau e like me ka poe inu waina: A e hoopihaia lakou e like me na bola, a me na kihi o ke kuahu.
16 On that day the Lord their God will save them—his people that are his flock—for they will glitter as crown jewels in his land.
A e malama mai o Iehova ko lakou Akua ia lakou ia la, E like me ka ohana hipa, i poe kanaka nona; No ka mea, e lilo auanei lakou i mau pohaku maikai o ka papalealii, I hookiekieia maluna o kona aina,
17 How lovely and beautiful they will be! Young men will grow strong on grain, and young women flourish on the new wine.
Nani ka nui o kona lokomaikai! Nani hoi ka nui o kona maikai! O ka palaoa ka mea e hooulu ai i na keikikane, A o ka waina hou i na kaikamahine.
