Zechariah 7
1 And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu.
A shekara ta huɗu ta Sarki Dariyus, maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Zakariya a rana ta huɗu ta watan tara, wato, watan Kisleb.
2 And Beth-El sends Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of YHWH,
Mutanen Betel sun aika Sharezer da Regem-Melek, tare da mutanensu su nemi tagomashin Ubangiji
3 speaking to the priests who [are] at the house of YHWH of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, “Do I weep in the fifth month—being separated—as I have done these so many years?”
ta wurin tambayar firistocin da kuma annabawan gidan Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, “Ko ya kamata in yi makoki da azumi a wata na biyar, yadda na yi a shekaru masu yawa?”
4 And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts to me, saying,
Sai maganar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ta zo mini ta ce,
5 “Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,
“Ka tambayi dukan mutanen ƙasar da firistoci cewa, ‘Sa’ad da kuka yi makoki da azumi a wata na biyar da na bakwai dukan shekaru saba’in nan, a ainihi saboda ni kuka yi azumi?
6 When you fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh [months]—even these seventy years—did you keep the fast [to] Me? And when you eat, and when you drink, is it not you who are eating, and you who are drinking?
Kuma sa’ad da kuke ci kuke sha, ba kanku kuke yi wa shagali ba?
7 Are [these] not the words that YHWH proclaimed by the hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem’s being inhabited, and [in] safety, and its cities around it, and the south and the plain—abiding?”
Ashe, ba kalmomin da Ubangiji ya faɗi ke nan ta bakin annabawan farko ba sa’ad da Urushalima da garuruwan da suke kewaye da ita suke hutawa, suke cikin wadata, akwai kuma mutane a Negeb da yammancin gindin tuddai?’”
8 And there is a word of YHWH to Zechariah, saying,
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta sāke zuwa wa Zakariya cewa,
9 “Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Judge [with] true judgment, And do kindness and mercy with one another.
“Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ku yi shari’ar gaskiya; ku nuna jinƙai da tausayi ga juna.
10 And do not oppress widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, And you do not devise the calamity of one another in your heart.
Kada ku danne gwauruwa ko maraya, baƙo ko talaka. A cikin zuciyarku kada ku yi mugun tunani game da juna.’
11 And they refuse to attend, And they give a stubborn shoulder, And their ears are made heavy against hearing.
“Amma suka ƙi su saurara; da taurinkai suka juya bayansu suka kuma toshe kunnuwansu.
12 And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the Law, and the words, That YHWH of Hosts sent by His Spirit, By the hand of the former prophets, And there is great wrath from YHWH of Hosts.
Suka taurare zukatansu kamar dutse, suka ƙi jin abin da doka ko kuma maganar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki take faɗi wadda ya aika ta wurin Ruhunsa ta wurin annabawan farko. Saboda haka Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ji fushi ƙwarai.
13 And it comes to pass, as He called, And they have not listened, So they call, and I do not listen,” said YHWH of Hosts.
“‘Sa’ad da na yi kira, ba su saurara ba; saboda haka sa’ad da suka kira, ba zan saurara ba,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
14 “And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not known, The land has been desolate behind them, Of any passing by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a desolation!”
‘Na warwatsar da su da guguwa a cikin dukan ƙasashe, inda suka zama baƙi. Aka bar ƙasar ta zama kango bayansu, da har ba mai shiga ko fita. Haka suka sa ƙasan nan mai daɗi ta zama kango.’”
