Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
In malem se akoalkosr ke yac se akluo in pacl Darius el Tokosra Fulat lun Persia, LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel mwet palu Zechariah, su wen natul Berechiah, su ma natul Iddo.
2 “YHWH was angry against your fathers—wrath!
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahkang nu sel Zechariah in fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Nga, LEUM GOD, tuh arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet matu lowos,
3 And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Return to Me, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And I return to you, said YHWH of Hosts.
tusruktu inge nga fahk nu suwos, ‘Kowos foloko nu yuruk, ac nga fah folokot nu yuruwos.
4 You will not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets called, Saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Please turn back from your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they did not listen, Nor attend to Me—a declaration of YHWH.
Nimet kowos oana mwet matu lowos. In pacl loes somla, mwet palu elos tuh fahkak kas luk nu selos, ac fahk mu elos in tia sifil moulkin moul koluk, ac tia sifil oru ma koluk.’ A elos tiana porongeyu ku akosyu.
5 Your fathers—where [are] they? And the prophets—do they live for all time?
Mwet matu lowos ac mwet palu ingo elos wanginla.
6 Only, My words and My statutes, That I commanded My servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers? And they turn back and say: As YHWH of Hosts designed to do to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He has done to us.”
Nga tuh sang sap luk nu sin mwet kulansap luk, mwet palu, kas in akesmakyalos, tusruktu elos tiana lohang nu kac, oru elos tuh keokkin seakos lalos. Na elos auliyak ac fahkak lah elos akilen lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, tuh kalyaelos fal nu ke ouiyalos, oana ke nga sulela in oru.”
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month (it [is] the month of Sebat), in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet. [He was] saying:
In yac se akluo lal Tokosra Fulat Darius, ke len aklongoul akosr in malem se aksingoul sie (malem in Shebat), LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sik sie mwe fahkak in sie aruruma ke fong.
8 I have seen by night, and behold, one riding on a red horse, and he is standing between the myrtles that [are] in the shade, and behind him [are] horses, red, bay, and white.
Nga tuh liye mwet se kasrusr fin soko horse srusra. El tui inmasrlon sak myrtle infahlfal se, ac oasr pac kutu horse tokol — kutu srusra, kutu tuhntun, ac kutu fasrfasr.
9 And I say, “What [are] these, my lord?” And the messenger who is speaking with me says to me, “I show you what these [are].”
Na nga siyuk sel, “Leum se, mea kalmen horse ingan?” Na lipufan se ma kaskas nu sik ah topuk ac fahk, “Nga fah akkalemye nu sum lah mea kalmac.
10 And the one who is standing between the myrtles answers and says, “These [are] they whom YHWH has sent to walk up and down in the land.”
LEUM GOD El sap elos in som ac tuni lah mea orek faclu.”
11 And they answer the Messenger of YHWH who is standing between the myrtles, and say, “We have walked up and down in the land, and behold, all the land is sitting still, and at rest.”
Na elos tuh fahk nu sin lipufan sac, “Kut foroht forma fin faclu nufon ac konauk tuh na faclu arulana wanginla ku la, ac misla na.”
12 And the Messenger of YHWH answers and says, “YHWH of Hosts! Until when do You not pity Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, that You have abhorred these seventy years?”
Na lipufan sac fahk, “LEUM GOD Kulana, kom tuh kasrkusrak sin Jerusalem ac sin siti nukewa lun Judah ke yac itngoulla. Ac putaka lula na kom fah akkalemye pakomuta lom nu selos?”
13 And YHWH answers the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, comfortable words.
LEUM GOD El topuk lipufan sac ke kas in akwoye,
14 And the messenger who is speaking with me, says to me, “Call, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem, And for Zion [with] great zeal.
ac lipufan sac fahk nu sik nga in sulkakin kas ma LEUM GOD El fahk inge: “Nga arulana nunku yohk ke Jerusalem, siti mutal luk,
15 And [with] great wrath I am angry against the nations who are at ease, For I was a little angry, and they assisted—for evil.
ac nga kasrkusrak sin mutunfacl su okak ac mutana in misla, mweyen ke pacl se ma nga srusruok mulat luk sin mwet luk, mutunfacl ingan tuh akyokye keok nu sin mwet luk upa liki meet ah.
16 Therefore, thus said YHWH: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And a line is stretched over Jerusalem.
Na pa nga foloko nu Jerusalem in tuh akkalemye pakomuta luk nu ke siti sac. Tempul luk ac fah folokyak, ac siti uh ac fah sifil musaiyukla.”
17 Again call, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Again My cities overflow from good, And YHWH has again comforted Zion, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.”
Lipufan sac fahk pac nu sik in sulkakin kas inge: “LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk mu siti nukewa lal ac fah sifilpa akkasrupyeyuk, ac El fah sifilpa eisla Jerusalem tuh in ma lal sifacna.”
18 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, four horns.
In sie pac aruruma nga liye koen cow akosr.
19 And I say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “What [are] these?” And he says to me, “These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
Na nga siyuk sin lipufan se ma kaskas nu sik ah, “Mea kalmen koac inge?” El topuk ac fahk, “Elos akkalemye ku lulap lun faclu ma akfahsryelik mwet Judah, mwet Israel, ac mwet Jerusalem.”
20 And YHWH shows me four artisans.
Na LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sik ac nga liye mwet orekma akosr utuk hammer.
21 And I say, “What [are] these coming to do?” And He speaks, saying, “These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no one has lifted up his head, and these come to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah—to scatter it.”
Ac nga siyuk, “Mea mwet inge tuku in oru uh?” El topuk ac fahk, “Elos tuku in aksangengye ac kunausla mutunfacl nukewa su tuh arulana itungya acn Judah ac akfahsryelik mwet we.”
