Zechariah 8
1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me], saying,
Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a kunana,
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Ipatpategko ti Sion iti nasged nga ayat, ipatpategko unay daytoy ken nakapungtotak unay kadagiti kabusorna!'
3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Agsubliakto iti Sion ket agnaedakto iti tengnga ti Jerusalem, ta maawaganto ti Jerusalem a Ti Siudad ti Kinapudno ken maawaganto ti bantay ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Nasantoan a Bantay!”
4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Addanto manen dagiti lallakay ken babbaket kadagiti kalsada ti Jerusalem, ket agkasapulanto ti tunggal tao iti sarukod gapu iti kinalakayna wenno kinabaketna.
5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
Ken mapnonto dagiti kalsada ti siudad kadagiti ubbing a lallaki ken babbai nga agay-ayam kadagitoy.”'
6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, no adda iti kasla saan a nakapappapati iti imatang dagiti nakalasat a tattao ti Juda, kasla saan met kadi a nakapappapati daytoy iti imatangko?'”—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Adtoy, umadanin ti panangispalko kadagiti tattaok iti daga a pagsingisingan ken paglennekan ti init!
8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
Gapu ta isublikto ida, ket agnaeddanto iti tengnga ti Jerusalem, isu nga agbalindanto manen a tattaok, ket siakto ti Diosda iti kinapudno ken iti kinalinteg!’”
9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which [were] in the day [that] the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: Dakayo nga agtultuloy a makangkangngeg ita kadagiti isu met laeng a sasao manipud kadagiti profeta idi naisaad ti pundasion ti balayko—daytoy a balayko, a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: Pakirdenyo ti pakinakemyo tapno maipatakder ti templo.
10 For before these days 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 every one against his neighbour.
Ta sakbay dagidiay nga al-aldaw, awan ti mula a maapit ti siasinoman; awanto ti magunggona ti tao wenno ayup. Ken awan ti kappia iti siasinoman a rummuar ken umuneg gapu kadagiti kabusor. Pinagbibinnusorko dagiti amin a tattao.
11 But now I [will] not [be] unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
Ngem ita, saanen a kas kadagiti napalabas nga al-aldaw; makikaaddaakto kadagiti tattao a nakasubli manipud iti pannakaitalaw a kas balud!”' Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
12 For the seed [shall be] prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [things].
'“Ta natalgedto dagiti tattao nga agmula kadagiti bukel. Agbunganto dagiti agkalatkat nga ubas ket adunto ti maapit kadagiti talon. Ipaayto dagiti tangatang dagiti linnaawda, ta ipatawidkonto amin dagitoy a banbanag kadagiti tattao a nakasubli manipud iti pannakaitalaw a kas balud.
13 And it shall come to pass, [that] as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, [but] let your hands be strong.
Dakayo ti pangipadaan dagiti dadduma a nasion iti pannakailunod, balay ti Juda ken balay ti Israel. Ngem ispalenlayonto ket bendisionankayonto. Saankayo nga agbuteng; agbalinkayo koma a napigsa ken natured!”’
14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:
“Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Kas iti panangpanggepko a mangdusa kadakayo idi pinagpungtotdak dagiti kapuonanyo,' ket saan a bimmaaw, kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin,
15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
isu a panggepko kadagitoy nga al-aldaw a mangaramid manen iti naimbag iti Jerusalem ken iti balay ti Juda! Saankayo nga agbuteng!
16 These [are] the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
Dagitoy ti masapul nga aramidenyo: Agsaokayo iti pudno, tunggal tao iti kaarrubana. Mangukomkayo a sipupudno, sililinteg, ken sitatalna kadagiti pangukomanyo.
17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these [are things] that I hate, saith the LORD.
Ket awan koma ti agpanggep iti dakes kadagiti kaarrubayo, wenno anamungan dagiti palso a sapata; ta kagurak amin dagitoy a banbanag!'” Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
18 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
Ket immay kaniak ti mensahe ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a kunana,
19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Dagiti panagayunar iti maikapat, iti maikalima, iti maikapito ken iti maikasangapulo a bulan ket agbalinto a tiempo iti panagrag-o, kinaragsak, ken naragsak a fiesta dagiti tattao ti Juda! Ngarud, ayatenyo ti kinapudno ken kappia!”
20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; [It shall] yet [come to pass], that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Mapanto manen dagiti tattao idiay Jerusalem, uray dagiti agnanaed kadagiti adu a nadumaduma a siudad.
21 And the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
Mapanto iti sabali a siudad dagiti agnanaed iti maysa a siudad ket kunada, “Pardasantayo ti mapan agkiddaw iti bendision kenni Yahweh ken agdayaw kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin! Mapankami met.'”
22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Adunto a tattao ken nabibileg a nasion ti mapan idiay Jerusalem tapno agdayaw kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ken agkiddaw iti bendision kenni Yahweh!”
23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days [it shall come to pass], that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard [that] God [is] with you.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: 'Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, sangapulo a lallaki manipud iti amin a pagsasao ken nasion ti kumpet iti gayadan ti kagaymo ket kunada, “Ipalubosmo a makikuyogkami kenka, gapu ta nangngeganmi nga adda kenka ti Dios!"”'
