Zechariah 12

1 The burden of a word of YHWH on Israel. A declaration of YHWH, Stretching out the heavens, and founding earth, And forming the spirit of man in his midst:

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e tala mamafa, ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ko ia ia ʻoku folahi atu ʻae ngaahi langi, mo ne ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani, pea ne ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae laumālie ʻoe tangata ʻi loto ʻiate ia.

2 “Behold, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling To all the surrounding peoples, And it is also against Judah, In the siege against Jerusalem.

“Vakai, te u ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema, ko e ipu fakailifia, ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ʻiate ia, ʻoka nau ka kāpui ʻa Selūsalema, mo Siuta foki.

3 And it has come to pass in that day, I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth.

Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema, ko e maka fakamāfasia ki he kakai kotoa pē: ko kinautolu kotoa pē te nau fua ia, te nau makafokafo ai, neongo ha tānaki fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ke tauʻi ia.”

4 In that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I strike every horse with astonishment, And its rider with madness, And on the house of Judah I open My eyes, And every horse of the peoples I strike with blindness.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u tā ʻaki ʻae fakailifia, ʻae hoosi kotoa pē, pea tā ʻaki ʻae faha, ʻaia ʻoku heka ki ai: te u fakaʻā hoku mata ki he fale ʻo Siuta, pea taaʻi ke kui ʻae hoosi kotoa pē ʻae kakai.

5 And leaders of Judah have said in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [are] strength to me, In YHWH of Hosts their God.

Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kau pule ʻi Siuta ʻi honau loto, ‘ʻE mālohi ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko honau ʻOtua.’”

6 In that day I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have consumed—on the right and on the left—all the surrounding peoples, And Jerusalem has again inhabited her place in Jerusalem.

“ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u ngaohi ʻae kau pule ʻi Siuta, ke tatau mo e ʻaiʻanga afi ʻi he loto fefie, pea hangē ko e tūhulu vela ʻi he ū koane; he tenau fakaʻauha takatakai ʻae kakai ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu, pea mo e toʻohema: pea ʻe toe kakai ʻa Selūsalema ʻi hono potu pe ʻoʻona, ʻio, ʻi Selūsalema.

7 And YHWH has saved the tents of Judah first, So that the beauty of the house of David does not become great against Judah, And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem.

‌ʻE fuofua fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Siuta, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki mai kia Siuta ʻae nāunau ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita, mo e nāunau ʻoe kakai ʻo Selūsalema.

8 In that day YHWH covers over the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them has been in that day as David, And the house of David as God—As the Messenger of YHWH—before them.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe maluʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema; pea ko ia ʻoku vaivai ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe hangē ia ko Tevita; pea hangē ko e ʻOtua ʻae fale ʻo Tevita, ʻo hangē ko e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻi honau ʻao.

9 And it has come to pass in that day, I seek to destroy all the nations Who are coming in against Jerusalem,

“Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u kumi ke fakaʻauha ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema.

10 And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, The Spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked to Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over Him, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for Him, Like a bitterness over the firstborn.

Pea te u lilingi ki he fale ʻo Tevita, pea ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻae laumālie ʻoe ʻofa, pea mo e faʻa lotu: pea te nau sio kiate au ʻaia kuo nau hokaʻi, pea te nau tangi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku tēngihia ʻa hono foha naʻe taha pe, pea te ne mamahi lahi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo hangē ko e mamahi koeʻuhi ko e ʻolopoʻou.

11 In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the Valley of Megiddon,

‌ʻE ai ʻae tangilāulau lahi ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hangē ko e tangilāulau ʻa Hatatilimoni ʻi he teleʻa ko Mekitoni.

12 And the land has mourned—every family apart, The family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women apart;

Pea ʻe tangi ʻae fonua, pea fai taki taha ʻe he faʻahinga; ko e faʻahinga ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu; ko e faʻahinga ʻoe fale ʻo Natani maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu;

13 The family of the house of Levi apart, And their women apart; The family of Shimei apart, And their women apart,

Ko e faʻahinga ʻoe fale ʻo Livai maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu; ko e faʻahinga ʻo Simei maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu;

14 All the families that are left, Every family apart, and their women apart!”

Pea mo e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoku toe, ko e taki taha maʻana ʻi hono faʻahinga, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu.
