Zechariah 9

1 The burden of a word of YHWH against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh—his place of rest: (When to YHWH [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel).

Ko e kikite, mo e folofola ʻa Sihova ki he fonua ko Hetaleke, mo Tamasikusi, ʻaia ʻe hoko ia ki ai: he ʻoku ʻafio ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova ki he tangata, pea mo e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.

2 And also Hamath borders thereon, Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!

Pea ʻe kau ai mo Hamati; ʻa Tala, mo Saitone foki, neongo ʻena poto lahi.

3 And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, And heaps silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.

Pea kuo langa ʻe Taia hono kolo mālohi, pea kuo ne tānaki ʻae siliva, ʻo hangē ko e efu, pea mo e koula lelei, ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻoe ngaahi hala.

4 Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, And He has struck her force in the sea, And she is consumed with fire.

Vakai, ʻe lī ia kituʻa ʻe Sihova, pea te ne taaʻi ʻa hono mālohi ʻi tahi; pea ʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻe he afi.

5 Ashkelon sees and fears, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron—for her expectation dried up, And a king has perished from Gaza, And Ashkelon does not remain,

‌ʻE mamata ʻa ʻAsikeloni ki ai, pea te ne manavahē; ʻe sio foki ki ai ʻa Kesa, pea te ne mamahi ʻaupito, ʻa ia, pea mo Ekiloni; koeʻuhi ʻe fakamaaʻi ʻa ʻene ʻamanaki; pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae tuʻi mei Kesa, pea ʻe ʻikai kakai ʻa ʻAsikeloni.

6 “And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellence of the Philistines.

Pea ʻe nofo ʻae hako ʻoe muli ʻi ʻAsitoti, pea te u motuhi ʻae fielahiʻanga ʻoe kau Filisitia.

7 And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he has remained, even he, to our God, And he has been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.

Pea te u taʻofi ʻae toto mei hono ngutu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia mei hono vahaʻa nifo: ka ko ia ʻe toe ʻi ai, ʻio, ʻaia pe, te ne kau ki hotau ʻOtua, pea te ne hangē ko e pule ʻi Siuta, pea ʻe tatau ʻa Ekiloni mo e tangata Sepusi.

8 And I have pitched a camp for My house, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And an exactor does not pass through against them again, For now, I have seen with My eyes.

Pea te u nofo takatakai ʻi hoku fale, koeʻuhi ko e kau tau, mo ia ʻoku ʻalu atu ai, pea koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku foki mai: pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻalu atu ai ha taha fakamālohi ʻo taʻengata: he ko eni, kuo u mamata ʻaki ʻa hoku mata ʻoʻoku.

9 Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Behold, your King comes to you, Righteous and having salvation, Afflicted—and riding on a donkey, And on a colt—a son of female donkeys.

Ke ke fiefia lahi ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione; Kalanga ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema: vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho tuʻi kiate koe, ʻoku angalelei ia, pea ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae fakamoʻui; ʻoku ne angavaivai, pea ʻoku heka ki he ʻasi, mo e ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi.

10 And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Indeed, the bow of battle has been cut off, And He has spoken peace to nations, And His rule [is] from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.

Pea te u motuhi ʻae saliote mei ʻIfalemi, mo e hoosi mei Selūsalema, pea ʻe motuhi mo e kaufana ki he tau; pea te ne lea ʻaki ʻae melino ki he hiteni; pea ko hono puleʻanga ʻe mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.

11 Also You—by the blood of Your covenant, I have sent Your prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.

Pea ko koe foki, koeʻuhi ko e toto ʻo hoʻo fuakava, kuo u tukuange ai hoʻo kau pōpula, mei he luo ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha vai.

12 Return to a stronghold, You prisoners of the hope, Even today a second announcer I restore to you.

Mou foki mai ki he hūfanga mālohi, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku pōpula ka e ʻamanaki lelei: ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou fakahā he ʻaho ni, te u totongi ke liunga ua kiate koe:

13 For I have trodden for Myself with Judah, I have filled a bow [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up your sons, O Zion, Against your sons, O Javan, And I have set you as the sword of a hero.”

‌ʻO kau ka teke ʻa Siuta maʻaku, mo ʻai ʻa ʻIfalemi ki he kaufana, pea u hakeakiʻi ho ngaahi foha, ʻe Saione, ke tuʻu, ʻe Kalisi, ki ho ngaahi foha ʻoʻou pea u ngaohi koe ke ke hangē ko e heletā ʻa ha tangata mālohi.

14 And YHWH appears for them, And His arrow has gone forth as lightning, And Lord YHWH blows with a horn, And He has gone with whirlwinds of the south.

Pea ʻe hā mai ʻoku ʻafio ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻe puna ʻene ngahau ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhila; pea ʻe ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua, pea te ne hāʻele ʻi he ʻahiohio mei he feituʻu tonga.

15 YHWH of Hosts covers them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Indeed, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an altar.

‌ʻE maluʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; pea te nau fakaʻauha mo ikuna ʻaki ʻae maka ʻi he makatā; pea te nau inu, pea te nau longoaʻa ʻo hangē ko ha konā ʻi he uaine; pea te nau fonu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi kumete, ʻi he ngaahi tuliki ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

16 And their God YHWH has saved them in that day, As a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.

Pea ʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo hangē ko ha fanga sipi, ʻa hono kakai: pea te nau hangē ko ha ngaahi maka mahuʻinga ʻi he tatā fakatuʻi, ʻoku hiki hake ko e fuka ʻi hono fonua.

17 For what His goodness! And what His beauty! Grain the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!

Koeʻuhi, vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene angaʻofa, mo hono lahi ʻo ʻene toulekeleka! ʻE fakafiefia ʻae kau talavou ʻe he koane, pea ko e kau finemui ʻe he uaine foʻou.
