Zechariah 7
1 It happened in the fourth year of king Daryavesh that the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
In yac se akakosr ma Darius el Tokosra Fulat, in len se akakosr ke malem se akeu (malem in Kislev), LEUM GOD El ase nu sik sie kas in sulkakinyuk.
2 The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech, and their men, to entreat Jehovah's favor,
Mwet Bethel elos supwal Sharezer, Regemmelech ac mwet mukul sayalos, in som nu in Tempul lun LEUM GOD Kulana, in pre ke akinsewowo lun LEUM GOD
3 and to speak to the priests of the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, "Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?"
ac in siyuk sin mwet tol ac mwet palu mwe siyuk se inge; “Ya kut enenu in srakna orek asor ke musalla lun Tempul, ac lalo ke malem se aklimekosr, oana kut muta oru ke yac puspis nwe inge uh?”
4 Then the word of Jehovah of hosts came to me, saying,
Ac pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD ma tuku nu sik.
5 "Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?
El fahk, “Fahkang nu sin mwet in facl se inge ac mwet tol, lah ke pacl ma elos lalo ac tung ke malem aklimekosr ac akitkosr ke pulan yac itngoul inge, elos tia oru in akfulatyeyu.
6 When you eat, and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
Ac ke pacl se ma elos mongo ac nim uh, elos oru na nu ke lungse lalos sifacna.”
7 Aren't these the words which Jehovah proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the Negev and the lowland were inhabited?'"
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sin mwet palu meet ah, ke pacl se Jerusalem tuh yohk kasrup la ac sessesla ke mwet, ac ke pacl se ma pukanten mwet tuh muta, tia in acn ma rauneak siti ah mukena, a oayapa ke tafunyen eir ac pe eol layen nu roto ah.
8 The word of Jehovah came to Zechariah, saying,
LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel Zechariah:
9 "Thus has Jehovah of hosts spoken, saying, 'Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.
“Pacl loes somla nga tuh sang sap soko inge nu sin mwet luk: ‘Kowos in liyaung tuh nununku suwohs in orek, ac tuh kowos in kulang ac pakoten nu sin sie sin sie.
10 Do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.'
Nimet kowos akkemkatuye katinmas, tulik mukaimtal, mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos, ku kutena mwet su enenu. Ac nimet suk inkanek in akkeokye sie sin sie.’
11 But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
“Tusruktu mwet luk elos likkekelana ac tia lungse porongo. Elos kaliya nunak lalos
12 Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which Jehovah of hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from Jehovah of hosts.
ac akupaye insialos in keke oana eot uh. Mweyen elos tia lohng kas in luti su nga supu sin mwet palu su tuh muta in pacl meet ah, ma inge arulana akkasrkusrakyeyu.
13 It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen," said Jehovah of hosts;
Ke sripen elos tuh tia lipsre ke pacl nga kaskas uh, oru nga tia pacna topkolos ke pacl elos pre uh.
14 "but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate."
Nga pokolosla oana sie paka, tuh elos in muta fin acn lun mwet saya. Acn na wowo se inge tuh filfillana oan, wanginna mwet muta fac.”
