< 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:
Ty entañe nitsarae’ Iehovà am’ Israele: Hoe t’Iehovà namelatse o likerañeo, naho nampijadoñe o manan­ta’ ty tane toio vaho mitsene ty arofo’ ondaty ama’e ao:
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.
Inao, te hanoeko fitovim-pivembèñañe t’Ierosalaime naho o mañohok’ aze iabio, vaho hampitraofe’ iareo ama’ Ierosalaime t’Iehodà, naho harikatohe’ iareo.
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.
Ie amy andro zay, le hanoeko vato fijinie’ ze kila ondaty t’Ierosalaime; ho fonga fere-boboke ze mivave aze; vaho hene hitontoñe hiatreatre aze ze fifehea’ ty tane toy.
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.
Amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà le ho paoheko ho tangòke o soavalao, naho ho seretse i mpiningi’ey; hanoka-maso amy anjomba’ Iehoday iraho vaho ho lafaeko ho goa iaby ze soavala’ondaty.
5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.'
Le hi­tsakore añ’arofo ao o mpifehe’ Iehodao hanao ty hoe: Haozarako o mpimone’ Ierosalaime añam’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañahare’ iareo.
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.
Hanoeko sadròn’ afo añivon-katae ao o mpiaolo’ Iehodao, naho hoe failon’ afo añivom-pitoboroñan’ ampemba ao; ie hamorototo ondaty iaby mañohokeo mb’ ankavana naho havia; fe ho fimoneñañe an-toe’e eo indraike t’Ierosa­laime, Eka e Ierosa­laime ao.
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.
Ho rombahe’ Iehovà heike o kiboho’ Iehodao, soa tsy hitoabotse ambone’ Iehodà ty enge’ i anjomba’ i Davidey9 naho ty enge’ o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo.
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.
Harova’ Iehovà amy andro zay o mpi­mone’ Ierosalaimeo le ho hambañe amy Davide ty mikoletra am’ iereo amy andro zay; vaho hanahak’ an’ Andrianañahare ty anjomba’ i Davide, hambañ’ amy anjeli’ Iehovà aolo’ iareoy.
9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Ie amy andro zay, ho paiako harotsake ze hene fifeheañe maname Ierosalaime.
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.
Le hakofòko amy anjomba’ i Davidey naho amo mpimo­ne’ Ierosalaimeo ty arofom-patarihañe naho fisolohoañe; le hisamb’ ahy iereo, i trinofa’ iareoy vaho hirovetse, manahake t’ie fangololoiham-bako-tokañe, ho afero am’ iareo manahake t’ie nitañolo­ñoloña’e.
11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Ie amy andro zay, le ho fandalàm-bey ty e Ierosalaime ao, manahake ty firoveta’ i Hadadrimone am-bavatane’ i Megidone eo.
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;
Handala i taney, le songa hivike ze hene fifokoañe; hivike ty anjomba’ i Davide naho hivike o rakemba’ eo; hivike ty anjomba’ i Natane naho hivike o rakemba’eo;
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
hivike ty anjomba’ i Levý naho hivike o rakemba’ eo; hivike o nte-Simeio naho hivikeo rakemba’eo;
14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
sambe hivike ze hene fifokoa sehanga’e naho hivike ka o tañanjomba’eo.
