< Zechariah 9 >

1 An oracle. The word of YHWH is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward YHWH;
Pa inge kas in sulkakinyuk sin LEUM GOD: El orala tari sie sap fulat lal in kalyei acn Hadrach ac siti Damascus. Tia sruf lun Israel mukena pa ma lun LEUM GOD, a siti fulat se lun acn Syria ma pac lal.
2 and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
Acn Hamath, su masrol nu Hadrach, oayapa siti lun Tyre ac Sidon wi kain in usrnguk nukewa yorolos, ma pac lal.
3 Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
Acn Tyre musaela mwe akkeye pot ku lal, ac yohk pac silver ac gold lal, oru pilasr oana puk weacn uh.
4 Look, YHWH will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El ac fah eisla ma inge nukewa. El ac fah sisla mwe kasrup lun acn we nu in meoa uh, ac siti sac ac fah firirla nu infohk uh.
5 Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
Siti Ashkelon ac fah liye ma inge ac sangeng. Ac siti Gaza ac fah liye ac keok ke waiok lulap. Acn Ekron ac fah liye pac, ac ma nukewa el finsrak nu kac ac wanginla nufon. Tokosra lun Gaza ac fah anwuki, ac Ashkelon ac fah wanginla mwet we.
6 Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Kain in tafun mwet puspis fah muta in Ashdod. LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah akpusiselyela mwet inse fulat lun acn Philistia inge.
7 I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Elos ac tia sifil kang ikwa ma srakna srahsra, ku kutena kain mwe mongo saya ma tia lela in mongo. Mwet nukewa ma painmoulla uh ac fah wela mwet luk, ac elos fah oana sie sou in sruf lun Judah. Ekron ac fah wela pac mwet luk, oana ke mwet Jebus elos tuh oru meet ah.
8 I will camp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.
Nga fah liyaung acn sik, ac karingin tuh mwet mweun in tia fahsr sasla fin acn uh. Nga ac fah tia lela mwet kol sulallal in sifilpa akkeokye mwet luk. Nga liye tari lupan keok lun mwet luk.
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion. Shout, daughter of Jerusalem. Look, your king comes to you. He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Enganak! Kowos mwet Zion, enganak! Sasa ke engan, kowos mwet Jerusalem! Liye, tokosra lowos el tuku nu yuruwos! El tuku ke ku lulap ac kutangla, Tusruktu el pusisel ac el muta fin soko donkey — Aok, fin soko donkey fusr.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the farthest parts of the earth.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah sisla chariot in mweun liki Israel, Ac eisla horse uh liki Jerusalem; Mwe pisr su orekmakinyuk ke mweun ac fah kunausyukla. Tokosra lowos el ac fah orek misla inmasrlon mutunfacl; El fah leumi liki sie meoa nu ke sie pac meoa, Mutawauk Infacl Euphrates lac nwe ke saflaiyen faclu.”
11 As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke sripen wuleang luk yuruwos, Su tuh akkeyeyukla ke srah lun mwe kisa uh, Nga fah aksukosokye mwet lowos — Liki luf lun sruoh, su oana sie lufin kof ma wangin kof loac.
12 Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
Foloko, kowos mwet sruoh su oasr finsrak yoro in pacl inge uh; Foloko nu yen suwos, yen kowos ac moul in misla we. Inge nga fahk nu suwos tuh nga fah sifil folokin nu suwos mwe insewowo pacl luo yohk liki, Ke sripen ma nukewa kowos tuh keok kac.
13 For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
Nga fah orekmakin Judah oana sie mwe pisr nutin sie mwet mweun, Ac Israel oana soko sukan pisr. Nga fah orekmakin mwet mukul in Zion oana sie cutlass, In mweuni mwet Greece.”
14 YHWH will be seen over them; and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and YHWH will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
LEUM GOD El ac fah sikyak lucng liki mwet lal, Ac pisrik sukan pisr natul oana sarom uh. LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fah ukya mwe ukuk; El ac fah tuku in ku lal in sie paka liki acn eir.
15 YHWH of hosts will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
LEUM GOD Kulana El ac fah loangela mwet lal, Ac elos ac fah kunausla mwet lokoalok lalos. Elos ac fah sasa in mweun oana mwet sruhi uh, Ac elos fah aksororyela srahn mwet lokoalok lalos. Ac srah uh ac fah soror oana srah in sie mwe kisa, Su okwoki nu fin loang uh in sie pol!
16 YHWH their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
Ke len sac ac tuku uh, LEUM GOD El ac fah molela mwet lal, Oana ke sie mwet shepherd el molela un kosro natul liki mwe sensen uh. Elos ac fah saromrom in acn sel Oana wek saok ke sie tefuro.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty. Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
Ac fuka lupan wo ac oasku lun acn sac! Mwet fusr ac fah kapak ac fokokoi ke wheat ac wain lun acn we.
