Zechariah 8
1 The word of the LORD of hosts came to me.
Inao ty nitsara’ Iehovà’ i Màroy:
2 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath."
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Farahieko ty Tsione, am-parahy miloroloro, vaho farahieko am-pifombo mandofiry.
3 Thus says the LORD: "I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called 'The City of Truth;' and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, 'The Holy Mountain.'"
Hoe t’Iehovà: Himpoly mb’e Tsione mb’eo iraho vaho himoneñako ty añivo’ Ierosalaime ao; le hatao ty hoe rovan-katò t’Ierosalaime; naho Haboañe Miavake ty vohi’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
4 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mbe ho tendreke te hiambesatse an-tamea’ Ierosalaime ao o androanavio naho o rakemba beio, songa mitoñoñe kobay am-pità’e ty amy ha’antera’ey.
5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets."
Le ho lifotse ajalahy naho ampela o kiririsa’ i rovaio mihisa an-kiririsan-drova ao.
6 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?" says the LORD of hosts.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Aa kanao fanjàka am-pihaino’ o sehanga’ ondaty retoañeo izay amy àndroy, tsy ho fanjàka a’ masoko ao ka hao? hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Look, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Oniño te ho rombaheko amy tane atiñanañe añey naho amy tane ahandrefañe añey ondatikoo;
8 and I will bring them, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness."
hampoliko mb’etoa, le himoneña’ iareo ty añivo’ Ierosalaime ao; h’ondatiko iereo vaho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo an-katò naho an-kavantañan-draho.
9 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Haozaro o fità’ areoo, ry mahajanjiñe o tsaraem-palie’ o mpitoky tañ’ andro nampijadoñañe ty fahan’ anjomba’ Iehovà’ i Màroy amo andro rezaoo, soa te hamboareñe i kivohoy.
10 For before those days there was no wages for man, nor any wages for an animal; neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.
Ie taolo’ i andro rezay, tsy teo ty nañarama’ ondaty, tsy teo ty nampitoloñe hàre; vaho tsy nierañerañe ty niavotse ndra ty nimoake ty amy faloviloviañey; ie nampifandiereko an-drañe’e ondatio.
11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days," says the LORD of hosts.
F’ie henane zao tsy hanahake tamo andro taoloo amo sehanga’ ondaty retoañe, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
12 "For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
Fa hanintsiñe o tabirio, hamokatse o vaheo, hakare’ i taney o nampitomboe’eo naho hatolo’ i likerañey o zono’eo; vaho hampandovàko ty sehanga’ ondatikoo i hene rezay.
13 It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not be afraid. Let your hands be strong."
Ho tondrok’ amy zay te manahake ty naha-fokom-patse amo kilakila’ ondatio nahareo, ry anjomba’ Iehodà naho ry anjomba’ Israeleo, t’ie ho rombaheko, le ho fitahiañe; ko hembañe fa hafatraro o fità’oo.
14 For thus says the LORD of hosts: "As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath," says the LORD of hosts, "and I did not repent;
Aa hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Hambañe amy nisafiriako hanao raty ama’ areoy, ie nanigìk’ ahy o rae’ areoo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho tsy niheveako,
15 so again have I thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not be afraid.
ty nisafirieko henane zao ty hanao soa am’ Ierosalaime naho amy akiba’ Iehoday: ko mangebahebake.
16 These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,
Inao o hanoe’ areoo: songa mifanaontsia an-katò; mizakà an-kavantañañe naho am-pilongoañe an-dalambei’ areo eo;
17 and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate," says the LORD.
ko mifampikilily añ’arofo; ko inae’ areo ty fanta vilañe; fa hejeko iaby izay, hoe t’Iehovà.
18 The word of the LORD of hosts came to me.
Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, nanao ty hoe:
19 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "The fasts of the fourth fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace."
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ty lilitse amy volam-paha-efatsey, naho ty lilitse amy faha-limey, naho ty lilitse amy faha-fitoy, vaho ty lilitse amy faha-foloy, le ho firebehañe naho haravoañe vaho famantañan-kafaleañe añ’akiba’ Iehodà ao; aa le kokò ty hatò naho ty fifampilongoañe.
20 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come;
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ho tondroke te hivotrake eo ondaty mitozantozañeo naho ty mpimoneñe boak’ an-drova maro;
21 and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, 'Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts. I will go also.'
le hitotsak’ ami’ty raike o mpimoneñe ami’ty ila’eo, hanao ty hoe: Antao hipay falalàñe am’ Iehovà naho hitsoeke Iehovà’ i Màroy; homb’eo ka iraho.
22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of the LORD."
Toe maro t’indaty, naho fifeheañe maozatse ty homb’ atoy hipay Iehovà’ i Màroy e Ierosalaime ao, naho hihalaly fañisohañe am’ Iehovà.
23 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, 'We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'"
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: ie amy andro zay, le ho rambese’ t’indaty folo boak’ amy ze hene’ fisaontsi’ o kilalila’ ondatio, eka ho fihine’ iereo ty saro’ ty nte-Iehodà, hanao ty hoe: Hindre ama’o zahay fa jinanji’ay te mitraok’ama’ areo t’i Andrianañahare.
