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.
Aa ie tan-taom-paha-efa’ i Dariavese mpanjakay, le niheo amy Zekarià ty tsara’ Iehovà amy andro fahefa’ ty volam-pahasivey, toe Safary;
2 And Beth-El sends Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of YHWH,
Ie nampañitrifeñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao t’i Sarezere naho i Regemeleke rekets’ o mpiama’eo,
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?”
ninday saontsy amo mpisoroñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà’ i maroio, naho amo mpitokio, ami’ty hoe: Handala hao iraho amy volam-paha-limey, naho hilie-batañe manahake i nanoeko amy taoñe maro rezaiy?
4 And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts to me, saying,
Aa le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
5 “Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,
Saontsio ze hene’ ondati’ i taney naho o mpisoroñeo, ty hoe: Ie nililitse naho nandala amy volam-paha-limey naho amy volam-paha-fitoy, i fitompolo taoñe rezay, Izaho hao ty nililira’ areo; Toe amako hao?
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?
Ie mikama, naho minoñe, tsy ho anahareo hao ty fikama’ areo naho ho anahareo ty finoma’ areo?
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?”
Tsy izay hao o tsara tsinei’ Iehovà añamo mpitoky taoloo, ie nimoneñañe t’Ierosalaime naho niraorao, ie naho o rova’ nañohok’ azeo, vaho nitobohañe ka i Atimoy naho i Vavataney?
8 And there is a word of YHWH to Zechariah, saying,
Niheo amy Zekarià ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
9 “Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Judge [with] true judgment, And do kindness and mercy with one another.
Hoe ty nitsarà’ Iehovà’ i Màroy: Manoa zaka-to naho songa mifampitretreza naho mifanao miroahalahy;
10 And do not oppress widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, And you do not devise the calamity of one another in your heart.
ko mamorekeke vantotse, ndra bode-rae, ndra renetane, ndra o rarakeo: ko mifampikinia an-troke.
11 And they refuse to attend, And they give a stubborn shoulder, And their ears are made heavy against hearing.
F’ie nifoneñe tsy hañaoñe, naho nampitolike soroke mandietse, vaho nanjenjen-dravembia tsy hitsanoñe;
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.
mbore, nanoe’ iereo vato mizitse ty tro’ iareo tsy mone hahajanjiñe i Hake, naho o tsara nampisangitrife’ Iehovà am-pità’ o mpitoky taoloo añamy Arofo’ey; aa le nifetsake eo ty haviñerañe jabajaba’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
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.
Ie amy zao, kanao nikanjy re naho tsy nañaoñe iereo, le hikanjy ka iereo vaho tsy ho haoñeko, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy;
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!”
le nampibaratsiahako an-tangololahy iereo mb’amo kilakila ondaty tsy apota’ iareoo. Le nihòake i taney nenga’ iereo, naho leo raike tsy nihelohelo ama’e; ie nampangoakoàhe’ iereo i tane fanjàkay.
