Zechariah 9
1 The burden of the word of the LORD. In the land of Hadrach, and in Damascus shall be His resting-place; for the LORD'S is the eye of man and all the tribes of Israel.
Mawu a Yehova odzudzula dziko la Hadiraki ndi mzinda wa Damasiko pakuti maso a anthu ndiponso mafuko onse a Israeli ali pa Yehova—
2 And Hamath also shall border thereon; Tyre and Zidon, for she is very wise.
ndiponso mzinda wa Hamati, umene ukuchita malire ndi dzikoli, komanso pa Turo ndi Sidoni, ngakhale kuti iwo ndi anzeru kwambiri.
3 And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Ndipo Turo anadzimangira linga; wadziwunjikira siliva ngati fumbi, ndi golide ngati zinyalala za mʼmisewu.
4 Behold, the Lord will impoverish her, and He will smite her power into the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Taonani Ambuye adzamulanda chuma chakecho ndi kuwononga mphamvu zake mʼnyanja, ndipo adzapserera ndi moto.
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be sore pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Mzinda wa Asikeloni udzaona zimenezi, nʼkuchita mantha; Gaza adzanjenjemera ndi ululu, chimodzimodzinso Ekroni, chifukwa chiyembekezo chake chidzatheratu. Mfumu ya ku Gaza idzaphedwa ndipo Asikeloni adzakhala opanda anthu.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Mu Asidodi mudzakhala mlendo, ndipo ndidzathetsa kunyada kwa Afilisti.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his detestable things from between his teeth, and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chief in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Ndidzachotsa nyama ya magazi mʼkamwa mwawo, chakudya choletsedwa mʼmano mwawo. Amene atsala adzakhala anthu a Mulungu wathu, adzasanduka atsogoleri mu Yuda, ndipo Ekroni adzakhala ngati Ayebusi.
8 And I will encamp about My house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more; for now have I seen with Mine eyes.
Koma Ine ndidzalondera Nyumba yanga ndi kuyiteteza kwa ankhondo osakaza. Palibenso mdani amene adzagonjetse anthu anga, pakuti tsopano ndikuwayangʼanira.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy king cometh unto thee, he is triumphant, and victorious, lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Sangalala kwambiri, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni! Fuwula, mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu! Taona, mfumu yako ikubwera kwa iwe, yolungama ndi yogonjetsa adani, yodzichepetsa ndi yokwera pa bulu, pa mwana wamphongo wa bulu.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Ndidzachotsa magaleta ankhondo ku Efereimu ndi akavalo ankhondo ku Yerusalemu, ndipo uta wankhondo udzathyoka. Mfumuyo idzabweretsa mtendere pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. Ulamuliro wake udzayambira ku nyanja ina mpaka ku nyanja ina, ndipo kuchokera ku Mtsinje (Yufurate) mpaka ku malekezero a dziko lapansi.
11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
Tsono kunena za iwe, chifukwa cha magazi a pangano lako ndi Ine, ndidzamasula amʼndende ako, ndidzawatulutsa mʼdzenje lopanda madzi.
12 Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope; even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.
Bwererani ku malo anu otetezedwa, inu amʼndende achiyembekezo; ngakhale tsopano ndikulengeza kuti ndidzakubwezerani zabwino mowirikiza.
13 For I bend Judah for Me, I fill the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Javan, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
Ndidzakoka Yuda monga ndimakokera uta wanga, ndipo Efereimu ndiye muvi wake. Ndidzadzutsa ana ako iwe Ziyoni, kulimbana ndi ana ako iwe Grisi, ndipo ndidzakusandutsa iwe lupanga la munthu wankhondo.
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord GOD will blow the horn, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
Pamenepo Yehova adzaonekera kwa anthu ake; mivi yake idzangʼanima ngati chingʼaningʼani. Ambuye Yehova adzaliza lipenga; ndipo adzayenda mu mkuntho wochokera kummwera,
15 The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like the basins, like the corners of the altar.
ndipo Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawateteza. Iwo adzawononga ndipo adzagonjetsa ndi miyala ya legeni. Adzamwa magazi ndi kubangula ngati amwa vinyo; magazi adzayenderera ngati a mʼmbale yowazira magazi pa ngodya za guwa lansembe.
16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, glittering over His land.
Tsiku limenelo Yehova Mulungu wawo adzawapulumutsa pakuti anthu ake ali ngati nkhosa. Adzanyezimira mʼdziko lake ngati miyala yokongola pa chipewa chaufumu.
17 For how great is their goodness, and how great is their beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids.
Taonani chikoka ndi kukongola kwawo! Tirigu adzasangalatsa anyamata, ndi vinyo watsopano anamwali.
