< Zechariah 8 >

1 The word of the LORD of hosts came to me.
A HIKI hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova o na kaua, i mai la,
2 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath."
Penei ka Iehova o na kaua e olelo mai nei, I lili no au ia Ziona me ka manao nui, A i lili hoi au nona me ka inaina nui.
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.'"
Ke olelo mai nei Iehova penei, Ua hoi mai nei au i Ziona, a e noho auanei au iwaena o Ierusalema; A e kapaia o Ierusalema, he kulanakauhale no ka oiaio, A o ka mauna o Iehova o na kaua, he mauna hoano.
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.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, Ma ia hope e noho na elemakule a me na luwahine ma na kuamoo o Ierusalema, A e lawe kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona kookoo ma kona lima no ka nui o na la;
5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets."
A e paapu na kuamoo o ua kulanakauhale nei i na keikikane, A me na kaikamahine e paani ana ma na alanui ona.
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.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Ina he paakiki keia imua o keia koena kanaka i kela manawa, He mea paakiki hoi anei ia imua o'u? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Look, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, Aia hoi, e hoopakele auanei au i o'u poe kanaka, Mai ka aina hikina mai, a mai ka aina komohana mai:
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."
A e alakai mai au ia lakou, e noho lakou iwaena o Ierusalema: E lilo mai no lakou i kanaka no'u, A owau auanei ko lakou Akua ma ka oiaio a ma ka pono.
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.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, E hooikaika i ka oukou mau lima, E ka poe lohe i keia mau la ia mau olelo, Ma ka waha o na kaula, O ka poe e noho ana i ka wa i hookumuia'i ka hale o Iehova o na kaua, I kukuluia'i ka luakini.
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.
No ka mea, mamua o ia mau la, Aole i loaa i ke kanaka ka uku, Aole hoi he uku no ka holoholona; Aole hoi i maluhia ka mea i hele aku iwaho a i hoi mai iloko, no ka enemi; No ka mea, hookuee aku la au i na kanaka a pau i ko lakou mau hoalauna.
11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days," says the LORD of hosts.
Aka, i neia manawa, aole au e hana aku i keia koena kanaka, E like me ka'u i na la mamua, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
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.
No ka mea, e maluhia ka hua kanu, A e hua mai ke kumuwaina i kona hua, A e hooulu mai hoi ka honua i kana mea ulu, A e haawi mai hoi ka lani i kona hau, A e haawi auanei au i keia mau mea a pau no keia koena kanaka.
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."
No ka mea, me oukou i hoinoia iwaena o ko na aina e, E ka ohana a Iuda, a me ka ohana a Iseraela, Pela no au e hoola ai ia oukou, a e hoopomaikai ia oukou; Mai makau oukou, e hooikaika hoi i ko oukou mau lima.
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;
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, Me ka'u i manao ai e hoopai aku i ko oukou hewa, I ka wa o ko oukou mau makua i hoonaukiuki mai ai ia'u, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, Aole hoi au i hoololi hou i ka manao;
15 so again have I thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not be afraid.
Pela hoi, manao iho au i neia mau la, E lokomaikai aku ia Ierusalema, A i ka ohana a Iuda; mai makau oukou.
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,
Eia na mea a oukou e hana'i; E olelo oiaio aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hoalauna; A e hookolokolo ma ka oiaio, a ma ka mea e malu ai iloko o na ipuka o oukou.
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.
Mai manao ino aku kekahi o oukou i kona hoalauna maloko o ko oukou naau: Mai makemake hoi i ka hoike wahahee ana: No ka mea, o keia mau mea o pau ka'u e inaina nei, wahi a Iehova.
18 The word of the LORD of hosts came to me.
Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova i o'u nei, i ana mai,
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."
Penei ka Iehova a na kaua e olelo nei, O ka hookeai ana o ka malama aha, me ka hookeai ana o ka alima. Me ka hookeai ana o ka ahiku, a me ka hookeai ana o ka umi, E lilo ia i mea olioli a me ka hauoli, A i mau ahaaina olioli i ka ohana a Iuda; Nolaila e makemake oukou i ka oiaio a me ke kuikahi
20 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come;
Penei ka olelo ana a Iehova o na kaua, Ma ia hope aku no, E hele mai ai na kanaka, A me na kamaaina o na kulanakauhale he nui;
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.'
A e hele aku na kamaaina o kekahi wahi i kekahi, me ka i aku, E haele pu kakou e pule imua o Iehova, A e imi aku ia Iehova o na kaua: Owau hoi kekahi e hele.
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."
A e hele mai na kanaka he nui loa, A me na lahuikanaka ikaika, E imi ia Iehova o na kaua ma Ierusalema, A e pule imua o Iehova.
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.'"
Penei ka olelo ana mai o Iehova o na kana, ia manawa, E lalau mai na kanaka he umi no na lahuikanaka o na olelo a pau, E lalau mai auanei lakou i ke kapa o ke kanaka Iudaio, Me ka i ana mai, E hele pu makou me oe; No ka mea, ua lohe makou, me oe pu no ke Akua.
