Zechariah 12

1 An oracle. The word of the LORD concerning Israel. The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

Pweng se inge ma sin LEUM GOD me ke acn Israel, LEUM GOD su asroelik kusrao, orala faclu, ac sang moul nu sin mwet uh. El fahk,

2 "Look, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and on Judah also will it be in the siege against Jerusalem.

“Nga fah oru acn Jerusalem in oana sie cup in wain. Mutanfahl su raunella elos ac fah nim kac ac tukulkul oana mwet sruhi. Ac ke elos ac utyak ac raunela in mweuni acn Jerusalem, na siti lula lun Judah nukewa ac fah rauniyukla pac.

3 It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.

Tusruktu in pacl sac, nga ac fah oru tuh acn Jerusalem in oana sie eot toasr — kutena mutunfacl su srike in srukak eot sac ac fah sun ongoiya lulap. Mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu ac fah toeni in mweunel.

4 In that day," says the LORD, "I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

In pacl sac nga ac fah aklangingye horse natulos nukewa, ac oru tuh mwet kasrusr fin horse uh in wella. Nga ac karingin mwet Judah, tusruktu nga fah konela mutun horse nutin mwet lokoalok lalos.

5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.'

Na sou lulap lun Judah fah fahk nu selos sifacna, ‘LEUM GOD Kulana El sang ku lal nu sin mwet lal su muta Jerusalem.’

6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.

“Ac in pacl sac nga fah oru sou lulap lun Judah in oana sie e lulap insak uh, ku in sie ima in wheat ma matula — elos ac fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa ma raunelosyak. Ac mwet Jerusalem ac fah muta na misla in siti uh.

7 The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.

“Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sang kutangla nu sin mwet mweun lun Judah meet, tuh akfulat ma fwilin tulik natul David oayapa akfulat ma mwet muta Jerusalem uh ac eis, fah tia yohk liki ma acn saya lun Judah ac eis.

8 In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD before them.

Ke pacl sac LEUM GOD El ac fah loango mwet su muta in Jerusalem, ac oru tuh finne mwet munas oemeet inmasrlolos in fah ku oana kuiyal David meet. Fwilin tulik natul David ac fah kololos oana lipufan lun LEUM GOD, aok, oana God sifacna.

9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

In pacl sac nga fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa su srike in mweuni Jerusalem.

10 I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of petition; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

“Nga fah nwakla fwilin tulik natul David ac mwet saya in acn Jerusalem ke ngunin pakoten ac ngunin pre. Elos ac fah ngetang liye el su elos tuh fakisya ah misa, ac elos fah asor kacl oana elos su asor ke tulik sefanna natu. Elos fah arulana tungi, oana elos su wounse mukul natu uh misa.

11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

In pacl sac asor in acn Jerusalem ac fah yohk oana asor kacl Hadad Rimmon in acn tupasrpasr lun Megiddo.

12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

Mwet in facl sac ac fah srisrielik in oru asor lalos: mukul in sou lal David ac fah sifacna oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos; mukul in sou lal Nathan fah sifacna oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos;

13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;

mukul in sou lal Levi fah sifacna oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos; ac mukul in sou lal Shimei fah oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos.

14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

Ac sou nukewa su lula, kais sie fah sifacna oru asor la, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos.”
