Zechariah 7
1 And in the fourth yeere of King Darius, the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth moneth, euen in Chisleu,
A shekara ta huɗu ta Sarki Dariyus, maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Zakariya a rana ta huɗu ta watan tara, wato, watan Kisleb.
2 For they had sent vnto the House of God Sharezer, and Regem-melech and their men to pray before the Lord,
Mutanen Betel sun aika Sharezer da Regem-Melek, tare da mutanensu su nemi tagomashin Ubangiji
3 And to speake vnto the Priests, which were in the House of the Lord of hostes, and to the Prophets, saying, Should I weepe in the fift moneth, and separate my selfe as I haue done these so many yeeres?
ta wurin tambayar firistocin da kuma annabawan gidan Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, “Ko ya kamata in yi makoki da azumi a wata na biyar, yadda na yi a shekaru masu yawa?”
4 Then came the word of the Lord of hostes vnto me, saying,
Sai maganar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ta zo mini ta ce,
5 Speake vnto all the people of the land, and to the Priests, and say, When ye fasted, and mourned in the fift and seuenth moneth, euen the seuentie yeeres, did ye fast vnto me? doe I approoue it?
“Ka tambayi dukan mutanen ƙasar da firistoci cewa, ‘Sa’ad da kuka yi makoki da azumi a wata na biyar da na bakwai dukan shekaru saba’in nan, a ainihi saboda ni kuka yi azumi?
6 And when ye did eate, and when ye did drinke, did ye not eate for your selues, and drinke for your selues?
Kuma sa’ad da kuke ci kuke sha, ba kanku kuke yi wa shagali ba?
7 Should ye not heare the wordes, which the Lord hath cryed by the ministerie of the former Prophets when Ierusalem was inhabited, and in prosperitie, and the cities thereof round about her, when the South and the plaine was inhabited?
Ashe, ba kalmomin da Ubangiji ya faɗi ke nan ta bakin annabawan farko ba sa’ad da Urushalima da garuruwan da suke kewaye da ita suke hutawa, suke cikin wadata, akwai kuma mutane a Negeb da yammancin gindin tuddai?’”
8 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah, saying,
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta sāke zuwa wa Zakariya cewa,
9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, Execute true iudgement, and shewe mercy and compassion, euery man to his brother,
“Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ku yi shari’ar gaskiya; ku nuna jinƙai da tausayi ga juna.
10 And oppresse not the widowe, nor the fatherles, the stranger nor the poore, and let none of you imagine euil against his brother in your heart.
Kada ku danne gwauruwa ko maraya, baƙo ko talaka. A cikin zuciyarku kada ku yi mugun tunani game da juna.’
11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their eares, that they should not heare.
“Amma suka ƙi su saurara; da taurinkai suka juya bayansu suka kuma toshe kunnuwansu.
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, least they should heare the Lawe and the wordes which the Lord of hostes sent in his spirit by the ministerie of ye former Prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hostes.
Suka taurare zukatansu kamar dutse, suka ƙi jin abin da doka ko kuma maganar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki take faɗi wadda ya aika ta wurin Ruhunsa ta wurin annabawan farko. Saboda haka Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ji fushi ƙwarai.
13 Therefore it is come to passe, that as he cried, and they would not heare, so they cried, and I would not heare, sayth the Lord of hostes.
“‘Sa’ad da na yi kira, ba su saurara ba; saboda haka sa’ad da suka kira, ba zan saurara ba,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
14 But I scattered them among all the nations, whom they knew not: thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they layd the pleasant land waste.
‘Na warwatsar da su da guguwa a cikin dukan ƙasashe, inda suka zama baƙi. Aka bar ƙasar ta zama kango bayansu, da har ba mai shiga ko fita. Haka suka sa ƙasan nan mai daɗi ta zama kango.’”
