Zechariah 1

1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

In malem se akoalkosr ke yac se akluo in pacl Darius el Tokosra Fulat lun Persia, LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel mwet palu Zechariah, su wen natul Berechiah, su ma natul Iddo.

2 "The LORD was very displeased with your fathers.

LEUM GOD Kulana El fahkang nu sel Zechariah in fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Nga, LEUM GOD, tuh arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet matu lowos,

3 Therefore tell them: Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Return to me,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will return to you,' says the LORD of hosts.

tusruktu inge nga fahk nu suwos, ‘Kowos foloko nu yuruk, ac nga fah folokot nu yuruwos.

4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;' but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says the LORD.

Nimet kowos oana mwet matu lowos. In pacl loes somla, mwet palu elos tuh fahkak kas luk nu selos, ac fahk mu elos in tia sifil moulkin moul koluk, ac tia sifil oru ma koluk.’ A elos tiana porongeyu ku akosyu.

5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?

Mwet matu lowos ac mwet palu ingo elos wanginla.

6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded by my Spirit to my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? Then they repented and said, 'Just as the LORD of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.'"

Nga tuh sang sap luk nu sin mwet kulansap luk, mwet palu, kas in akesmakyalos, tusruktu elos tiana lohang nu kac, oru elos tuh keokkin seakos lalos. Na elos auliyak ac fahkak lah elos akilen lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, tuh kalyaelos fal nu ke ouiyalos, oana ke nga sulela in oru.”

7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

In yac se akluo lal Tokosra Fulat Darius, ke len aklongoul akosr in malem se aksingoul sie (malem in Shebat), LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sik sie mwe fahkak in sie aruruma ke fong.

8 "I had a vision in the night, and look, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.

Nga tuh liye mwet se kasrusr fin soko horse srusra. El tui inmasrlon sak myrtle infahlfal se, ac oasr pac kutu horse tokol — kutu srusra, kutu tuhntun, ac kutu fasrfasr.

9 Then I asked, 'My lord, what are these?'" The angel who talked with me said to me, "I will show you what these are."

Na nga siyuk sel, “Leum se, mea kalmen horse ingan?” Na lipufan se ma kaskas nu sik ah topuk ac fahk, “Nga fah akkalemye nu sum lah mea kalmac.

10 The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said to me, "They are the ones the LORD has sent to go back and forth through the earth."

LEUM GOD El sap elos in som ac tuni lah mea orek faclu.”

11 They reported to the angel of the LORD who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, "We have walked back and forth through the earth, and look, all the earth is at rest and in peace."

Na elos tuh fahk nu sin lipufan sac, “Kut foroht forma fin faclu nufon ac konauk tuh na faclu arulana wanginla ku la, ac misla na.”

12 Then the angel of the LORD replied, "O LORD of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?"

Na lipufan sac fahk, “LEUM GOD Kulana, kom tuh kasrkusrak sin Jerusalem ac sin siti nukewa lun Judah ke yac itngoulla. Ac putaka lula na kom fah akkalemye pakomuta lom nu selos?”

13 The LORD answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.

LEUM GOD El topuk lipufan sac ke kas in akwoye,

14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

ac lipufan sac fahk nu sik nga in sulkakin kas ma LEUM GOD El fahk inge: “Nga arulana nunku yohk ke Jerusalem, siti mutal luk,

15 I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but only a little angry, but they added to the calamity."

ac nga kasrkusrak sin mutunfacl su okak ac mutana in misla, mweyen ke pacl se ma nga srusruok mulat luk sin mwet luk, mutunfacl ingan tuh akyokye keok nu sin mwet luk upa liki meet ah.

16 Therefore thus says the LORD: "I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house will be built in it," says the LORD of hosts, "and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem."'

Na pa nga foloko nu Jerusalem in tuh akkalemye pakomuta luk nu ke siti sac. Tempul luk ac fah folokyak, ac siti uh ac fah sifil musaiyukla.”

17 "Proclaim further, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem."'"

Lipufan sac fahk pac nu sik in sulkakin kas inge: “LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk mu siti nukewa lal ac fah sifilpa akkasrupyeyuk, ac El fah sifilpa eisla Jerusalem tuh in ma lal sifacna.”

18 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four horns.

In sie pac aruruma nga liye koen cow akosr.

19 I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" He answered me, "These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."

Na nga siyuk sin lipufan se ma kaskas nu sik ah, “Mea kalmen koac inge?” El topuk ac fahk, “Elos akkalemye ku lulap lun faclu ma akfahsryelik mwet Judah, mwet Israel, ac mwet Jerusalem.”

20 The LORD showed me four craftsmen.

Na LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sik ac nga liye mwet orekma akosr utuk hammer.

21 Then I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He said, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."

Ac nga siyuk, “Mea mwet inge tuku in oru uh?” El topuk ac fahk, “Elos tuku in aksangengye ac kunausla mutunfacl nukewa su tuh arulana itungya acn Judah ac akfahsryelik mwet we.”
