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,
A wata na bakwai na shekara ta biyu ta mulkin Dariyus, maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa annabi Zakariya ɗan Berekiya ɗan Iddo.
2 "The LORD was very displeased with your fathers.
“Ubangiji ya yi fushi sosai da kakanninku.
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.
Saboda haka ka gaya wa mutanen, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ku komo gare ni,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, ‘ni kuma zan komo gare ku,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
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.
Kada ku zama kamar kakanninku, waɗanda annabawa na dā suka ce musu, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ku juya daga mugayen hanyoyinku da mugayen abubuwan da kuke yi.’ Amma ba su saurara ba, ko ma su kula da ni, in ji Ubangiji.
5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
Yanzu ina kakanninku suke? Annabawan kuma fa, sun rayu har abada ne?
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.'"
Amma maganata da dokokina da na umarta ta wurin bayina annabawa fa, ashe, ba su tabbata ba a kan kakanninku? “Sa’an nan suka tuba suka ce, ‘Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya yi mana daidai abin da hanyoyinmu suka cancanci mu samu, kamar dai yadda ya yi niyya yi.’”
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,
A rana ta ashirin da huɗu ga watan goma sha ɗaya, wato, watan Shebat, a shekara ta biyu ta Dariyus, maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa annabi Zakariya ɗan Berekiya ɗan Iddo.
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.
Da dare, na ga wahayi, a gabana kuwa ga mutum a kan jan doki! Yana tsaye a cikin itatuwa masu furanni, a bayansa a cikin itatuwan ci-zaƙi, a bayansa kuwa akwai dawakai masu ruwan ja, ruwan ƙasa-ƙasa da kuma ruwan fari.
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."
Sai na yi tambaya na ce, “Mene ne waɗannan ranka yă daɗe?” Mala’ikan da yake magana da ni ya amsa ya ce, “Zan nuna maka mene ne su.”
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."
Sai mutumin da yake tsaye cikin itatuwan ci-zaƙin ya yi bayani cewa, “Su ne waɗanda Ubangiji ya aika ko’ina a duniya.”
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."
Sai suka ce wa mala’ikan da yake tsaye cikin itatuwan ci-zaƙin, “Mun ratsa ko’ina a duniya, sai muka ga duniya duka tana zaman lafiya.”
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?"
Sa’an nan mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, har yaushe za ka ci gaba da ƙi nuna wa Urushalima da kuma garuruwan Yahuda jinƙai, waɗanda kake fushi da su shekarun nan saba’in?”
13 The LORD answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.
Sai Ubangiji ya yi wa mala’ikan da ya yi magana da ni magana da kalmomi masu daɗi da kuma masu ta’azantarwa.
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.
Sai mala’ikan da yake magana da ni ya ce, “Ka yi shelar maganan nan, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ina kishi domin Urushalima da Sihiyona,
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."
amma ina fushi da ƙasashen da suke ji suna zaman lafiya, na ɗan yi fushina kawai, amma sai suka ƙara musu masifar.’
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."'
“Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Zan komo Urushalima da jinƙai, a can ne za a sāke gina gidana. Za a kuma miƙe ma’auni a bisa Urushalima,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
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."'"
“Ci gaba da yin shela, ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Garuruwana za su sāke kwarara da wadata, Ubangiji kuma zai sāke yi wa Sihiyona ta’aziyya, yă kuma zaɓi Urushalima.’”
18 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four horns.
Sa’an nan na dubi sama a gabana kuwa sai ga ƙahoni huɗu!
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 tambayi mala’ikan da yake mini magana, na ce, “Mene ne waɗannan?” Ya amsa mini ya ce, “Waɗannan su ne ƙahonin da suka watsar da Yahuda, Isra’ila da kuma Urushalima.”
20 The LORD showed me four craftsmen.
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya nuna mini maƙera guda huɗu.
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."
Na yi tambaya na ce, “Mene ne waɗannan suke zuwa yi?” Ya amsa ya ce, “Waɗannan ne ƙahonin da suka watsar da Yahuda har ba wanda yake iya ɗaga kansa, amma maƙeran sun zo don su tsorata su su kuma saukar da ƙahonin ƙasashen nan waɗanda suka ɗaga ƙahoninsu gāba da ƙasar Yahuda don su warwatsa ta.”
