< Zechariah 8 >

1 Againe the worde of the Lord of hostes came to me, saying,
Inao ty nitsara’ Iehovà’ i Màroy:
2 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I was ielous for Zion with great ielousie, and I was ielous for her with great wrath.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Farahieko ty Tsione, am-parahy miloroloro, vaho farahieko am-pifombo mandofiry.
3 Thus saith the Lord, I wil returne vnto Zion, and wil dwel in the mids of Ierusalem: and Ierusalem shalbe called a citie of trueth, and the Mountaine of the Lord of hostes, the holy Mountaine.
Hoe t’Iehovà: Himpoly mb’e Tsione mb’eo iraho vaho himoneñako ty añivo’ Ierosalaime ao; le hatao ty hoe rovan-katò t’Ierosalaime; naho Haboañe Miavake ty vohi’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
4 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, There shall yet olde men and olde women dwell in the streetes of Ierusalem, and euery man with his staffe in his hand for very age.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mbe ho tendreke te hiambesatse an-tamea’ Ierosalaime ao o androanavio naho o rakemba beio, songa mitoñoñe kobay am-pità’e ty amy ha’antera’ey.
5 And the streetes of the citie shalbe full of boyes and girles, playing in the streetes thereof.
Le ho lifotse ajalahy naho ampela o kiririsa’ i rovaio mihisa an-kiririsan-drova ao.
6 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Though it be vnpossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these dayes, should it therefore be vnpossible in my sight, sayth the Lord of hostes?
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Aa kanao fanjàka am-pihaino’ o sehanga’ ondaty retoañeo izay amy àndroy, tsy ho fanjàka a’ masoko ao ka hao? hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
7 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will deliuer my people from the East countrey, and from the West countrey.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Oniño te ho rombaheko amy tane atiñanañe añey naho amy tane ahandrefañe añey ondatikoo;
8 And I wil bring them, and they shall dwel in the mids of Ierusalem, and they shalbe my people, and I wil be their God in trueth, and in righteousnes.
hampoliko mb’etoa, le himoneña’ iareo ty añivo’ Ierosalaime ao; h’ondatiko iereo vaho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo an-katò naho an-kavantañan-draho.
9 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Let your hands be strong, ye that heare in these dayes these words by the mouth of the Prophets, which were in the day, that the foundation of the House of the Lord of hostes was laide, that the Temple might be builded.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Haozaro o fità’ areoo, ry mahajanjiñe o tsaraem-palie’ o mpitoky tañ’ andro nampijadoñañe ty fahan’ anjomba’ Iehovà’ i Màroy amo andro rezaoo, soa te hamboareñe i kivohoy.
10 For before these dayes there was no hire for man nor any hire for beast, neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men, euery one against his neighbour.
Ie taolo’ i andro rezay, tsy teo ty nañarama’ ondaty, tsy teo ty nampitoloñe hàre; vaho tsy nierañerañe ty niavotse ndra ty nimoake ty amy faloviloviañey; ie nampifandiereko an-drañe’e ondatio.
11 But nowe, I wil not intreate the residue of this people as aforetime, saith the Lord of hostes.
F’ie henane zao tsy hanahake tamo andro taoloo amo sehanga’ ondaty retoañe, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
12 For the seede shall be prosperous: the vine shall giue her fruite, and the ground shall giue her increase, and the heauens shall giue their dewe, and I will cause the remnant of this people to possesse all these things.
Fa hanintsiñe o tabirio, hamokatse o vaheo, hakare’ i taney o nampitomboe’eo naho hatolo’ i likerañey o zono’eo; vaho hampandovàko ty sehanga’ ondatikoo i hene rezay.
13 And it shall come to passe, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Iudah, and house of Israel, so wil I deliuer you, and ye shalbe a blessing: feare not, but let your hands be strong.
Ho tondrok’ amy zay te manahake ty naha-fokom-patse amo kilakila’ ondatio nahareo, ry anjomba’ Iehodà naho ry anjomba’ Israeleo, t’ie ho rombaheko, le ho fitahiañe; ko hembañe fa hafatraro o fità’oo.
14 For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, As I thought to punish you, when your fathers prouoked me vnto wrath, sayth the Lord of hostes, and repented not,
Aa hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Hambañe amy nisafiriako hanao raty ama’ areoy, ie nanigìk’ ahy o rae’ areoo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho tsy niheveako,
15 So againe haue I determined in these daies to doe well vnto Ierusalem, and to the house of Iudah: feare ye not.
ty nisafirieko henane zao ty hanao soa am’ Ierosalaime naho amy akiba’ Iehoday: ko mangebahebake.
16 These are ye things that ye shall doe. Speake ye euery man the trueth vnto his neighbour: execute iudgement truely and vprightly in your gates,
Inao o hanoe’ areoo: songa mifanaontsia an-katò; mizakà an-kavantañañe naho am-pilongoañe an-dalambei’ areo eo;
17 And let none of you imagine euill in your hearts against his neighbour, and loue no false othe: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord.
ko mifampikilily añ’arofo; ko inae’ areo ty fanta vilañe; fa hejeko iaby izay, hoe t’Iehovà.
18 And the worde of the Lord of hostes came vnto me, saying,
Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, nanao ty hoe:
19 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, The fast of the fourth moneth, and the fast of the fift, and the fast of the seuenth, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Iudah ioy and gladnes, and prosperous hie feasts: therefore loue the trueth and peace.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ty lilitse amy volam-paha-efatsey, naho ty lilitse amy faha-limey, naho ty lilitse amy faha-fitoy, vaho ty lilitse amy faha-foloy, le ho firebehañe naho haravoañe vaho famantañan-kafaleañe añ’akiba’ Iehodà ao; aa le kokò ty hatò naho ty fifampilongoañe.
20 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, That there shall yet come people, and the inhabitants of great cities.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ho tondroke te hivotrake eo ondaty mitozantozañeo naho ty mpimoneñe boak’ an-drova maro;
21 And they that dwell in one citie, shall go to another, saying, Vp, let vs go and pray before the Lord, and seeke the Lord of hostes: I wil go also.
le hitotsak’ ami’ty raike o mpimoneñe ami’ty ila’eo, hanao ty hoe: Antao hipay falalàñe am’ Iehovà naho hitsoeke Iehovà’ i Màroy; homb’eo ka iraho.
22 Yea, great people and mightie nations shall come to seeke the Lord of hostes in Ierusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
Toe maro t’indaty, naho fifeheañe maozatse ty homb’ atoy hipay Iehovà’ i Màroy e Ierosalaime ao, naho hihalaly fañisohañe am’ Iehovà.
23 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, In those dayes shall ten men take holde out of all languages of the nations, euen take holde of the skirt of him that is a Iewe, and say, We will go with you: for we haue heard that God is with you.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: ie amy andro zay, le ho rambese’ t’indaty folo boak’ amy ze hene’ fisaontsi’ o kilalila’ ondatio, eka ho fihine’ iereo ty saro’ ty nte-Iehodà, hanao ty hoe: Hindre ama’o zahay fa jinanji’ay te mitraok’ama’ areo t’i Andrianañahare.
