< 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.
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀. Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa fún Israẹli ni. Olúwa wí, ẹni tí ó na àwọn ọ̀run, tí ó sì fi ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, tí ó sì da ẹ̀mí ènìyàn tí ń bẹ ni inú rẹ̀,
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.
“Kíyèsi í, èmi yóò sọ Jerusalẹmu dí àgọ́ ìwárìrì sí gbogbo ènìyàn yíká, nígbà tí wọn yóò dó ti Juda àti Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, nígbà tí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé bá parapọ̀ sí i, ni èmi yóò sọ Jerusalẹmu di òkúta ti ko ṣe yí kúrò fún gbogbo ènìyàn, gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá sì fẹ́ yí i ni a ó gé sí wẹ́wẹ́,
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.
ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ni èmi yóò fi ìdágìrì lu gbogbo ẹṣin, àti fi òmùgọ̀ kọlu ẹni tí ń gun un; èmi yóò sì ṣí ojú mi sí ilé Juda, èmi yóò sì bu ìfọ́jú lu gbogbo ẹṣin tí orílẹ̀-èdè.
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.
Àti àwọn baálẹ̀ Juda yóò sì wí ni ọkàn wọn pé, ‘Àwọn ara Jerusalẹmu ni agbára mi nípa Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni Ọlọ́run wọn.’
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.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà, ni èmi yóò ṣe àwọn baálẹ̀ Juda bí ààrò iná kan láàrín igi, àti bi ẹ̀fúùfù iná láàrín ìtí; wọn yóò sì jẹ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn run yíká lápá ọ̀tún àti lápá òsì, a ó sì tún máa gbé inú Jerusalẹmu ní ipò rẹ̀.
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.
“Olúwa pẹ̀lú yóò kọ́ tètè gba àgọ́ Juda là ná, kí ògo ilé Dafidi àti ògo àwọn ara Jerusalẹmu má ba gbé ara wọn ga sí Juda.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Olúwa yóò dáàbò bò àwọn tí ń gbé Jerusalẹmu; ẹni tí ó bá sì ṣe àìlera nínú wọn ní ọjọ́ náà, yóò dàbí Dafidi; ilé Dafidi yóò sì dàbí Ọlọ́run, bí angẹli Olúwa níwájú wọn.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Yóò sì ṣe ni ọjọ́ náà, èmi yóò wá láti pa gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè run tí ó wá kọjú ìjà sí Jerusalẹmu.”
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].
“Èmi ó sì tu ẹ̀mí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ sórí ilé Dafidi àti sórí Jerusalẹmu, wọn ó sì máa wo ẹni tí wọn tí gún ni ọ̀kọ̀, wọn ó sì máa ṣọ̀fọ̀ rẹ̀, bí ẹnìkan ti ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún ọmọ rẹ̀ kan ṣoṣo àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn tí wọn yóò sì wà ni ìbànújẹ́, bí ẹni tí ń banújẹ́ fún àkọ́bí rẹ̀.
11 In that day the lamentation in Jerusalem shall be very great, as the mourning for the pomegranate grove cut down in the plain.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni ẹkún, ńlá ńlá yóò wà ni Jerusalẹmu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀fọ̀ Hadadi Rimoni ni àfonífojì Megido.
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;
Ilẹ̀ náà yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀, ìdílé, kọ̀ọ̀kan fun ara rẹ, lọ́tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀; ìdílé Dafidi lọ́tọ̀; àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ̀; ìdílé Natani lọ́tọ̀, àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ́.
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;
Ìdílé Lefi lọ́tọ̀, àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ̀; ìdílé Ṣimei lọ́tọ̀, àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ̀.
14 all the families that are left, each family by itself, and their wives by themselves.
Gbogbo àwọn ìdílé tí o kù, ìdílé, ìdílé, lọ́tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀, àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀.
