< Zacharias 12 >

1 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel; says the Lord, that stretches out the sky, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.
Kun raajii dubbii Waaqayyo waaʼee Israaʼel dubbatuu dha. Waaqayyo samiiwwan diriirse, inni hundee lafaa buuse, inni nama keessatti hafuura namaa uume sun akkana jedha:
2 Behold, I [will] make Jerusalem as trembling door-posts to all the nations round about, and in Judea there shall be a siege against Jerusalem.
“Ani Yerusaalemin namoota naannoo ishee jiraatan hundatti xoofoo gatantarsu nan godha. Yihuudaan akkuma Yerusaalem marfamtee ni qabamti.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will make Jerusalem a trodden stone to all the nations: every one that tramples on it shall utterly mock at [it], and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.
Gaafas, yeroo saboonni lafaa hundi isheen mormuudhaan walitti qabamanitti, ani Yerusaalemin saboota hundatti kattaa hin sochoofamne nan godha. Warri ishee sochoosuu yaalan hundi of miidhu.
4 In that day, says the Lord Almighty, I will strike every horse with amazement, and his rider with madness: but I will open mine eyes upon the house of Juda, and I will strike all the horses of the nations with blindness.
Gaafas ani fardeen hunda nan naasisa; isa yaabbatus nan maraacha” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani Yihuudaa eeguuf ija koo nan banadha; ija fardeen saboota hundaa garuu nan jaamsa.
5 And the captains of thousands of Juda shall say in their hearts, We shall find for ourselves the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the Lord Almighty their God.
Ergasii hangafoonni Yihuudaa garaa isaaniitti, ‘Jiraatonni Yerusaalem sababii Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Waaqa isaanii taʼeef jajjaboo dha’ jedhu.
6 In that day I will make the captains of thousands of Juda as a firebrand among wood, and as a torch of fire in stubble; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the nations round about: and Jerusalem shall dwell again by herself, [even] in Jerusalem.
“Ani gaafas hangafoota Yihuudaa badaa ibiddaa tuullaa qoraanii keessaa, akkuma guca ibiddaa bissii keessaa nan godha. Isaan saboota naannoo isaanii kanneen mirgaa fi bitaan jiran hunda ni barbadeessu; Yerusaalem garuu utuu hin miidhamin iddoodhuma isheetti hafti.
7 And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda as at the beginning, that the boast of the house of David, and the pride of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not magnify themselves against Juda.
“Waaqayyo akka ulfinni mana Daawitii fi jiraattota Yerusaalem ulfina Yihuudaa hin caalleef duraan dursee iddoo jireenya Yihuudaa ni baraara.
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the weak one among them in that day shall be as David, and the house of David as the house of God, as the angel of the Lord before them.
Gaafas Waaqayyo jiraattota Yerusaalemiif ni qolata; guyyaa sana isaan keessaa inni dadhabaan akka Daawit taʼa; manni Daawitis akka Waaqaa, akka ergamaa Waaqayyoo isa isaan dura deemuu ni taʼa.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Ani gaafas saboota Yerusaalem lolan hunda balleessuuf nan baʼa.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon me, because they have mocked [me], and they shall make lamentation for him, as for a beloved [friend], and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn [son].
“Ani mana Daawitii fi jiraattota Yerusaalem irratti hafuura surraatii fi kadhannaa nan dhangalaasa. Isaan ana isa waraanan sana ni ilaalu; isaan akkuma nama ilma tokkichaaf booʼuutti ni booʼuuf; akkuma nama ilma hangafaaf baayʼisee gadduuttis ni gadduuf.
11 In that day the lamentation in Jerusalem shall be very great, as the mourning for the pomegranate grove cut down in the plain.
Gaafas booʼichi Yerusaalem keessaa akkuma booʼicha dirree Megidoonitti Hadaad Rimooniif booʼame sanaa guddaa taʼa.
12 And the land shall lament in separate families, the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
Biyyattiin ni boossi; tokkoon tokkoon balbalaas niitota isaanii wajjin ofii isaaniitiif ni booʼu; balballi mana Daawitii fi niitonni isaanii, balballi mana Naataaniitii fi niitonni isaanii,
13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Symeon by itself, and their wives by themselves;
balballi mana Lewwii fi niitonni isaanii, balballi Shimeʼiitii fi niitonni isaanii,
14 all the families that are left, each family by itself, and their wives by themselves.
balbalawwan hafan hundii fi niitonni isaanii ni booʼu.
