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;
Raajiin dubbii Waaqayyoo biyya Hadraakitti ni dhufa; Damaasqoo irras ni buʼa; iji namoota hundaa fi gosoota Israaʼel hundaa gara Waaqayyo ni ilaalaatii;
2 and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
akkasumas gara Hamaati ishee daangaa irraa, isaan ogeeyyii taʼan iyyuu gara Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaas ni ilaala.
3 Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
Xiiroos daʼannoo jabaa ijaarratteerti; meetii akka awwaaraatti, warqees akkuma kosii daandii irraatti tuullateerti.
4 Look, YHWH will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.
Gooftaan garuu qabeenya ishee irraa fuudhee humna ishee galaana irratti barbadeessa; isheenis ibiddaan dhumti.
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.
Ashqaloon waan kana argitee ni sodaatti; Gaazaan immoo dhukkubsattee aaddi; Eqroonis akkasuma taati; abdiin ishee coollageeraatii. Gaazaan mootii ishee ni dhabdi; Eqroonis ontee hafti.
6 Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Namoonni ormaa Ashdoodin ni qabatu; anis of tuulummaa Filisxeemotaa nan balleessa.
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.
Ani dhiiga afaan isaanii keessa jiru, nyaata dhowwames ilkaan isaanii gidduudhaa nan baasa. Warri hafanis kan Waaqa keenyaa taʼanii Yihuudaa keessattis bulchitoota taʼu; Eqroon immoo akka warra Yebuusotaa ni taati.
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.
Ani garuu loltuu cabsitee seentu mana koo irraa nan dhowwa. Lammata hacuuccuun saba koo irra hin burraaqxu; ani amma dammaqee nan eegaatii.
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.
Yaa Intala Xiyoon ati guddisii gammadi! Yaa Intala Yerusaalem iyyi! Kunoo mootiin kee qajeelaan, fayyina qabatee, gad of qabee harree yaabbatee, ilmoo harree jechuunis harree xinnoo yaabbatee gara kee dhufaa jira.
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.
Ani gaariiwwan lolaa Efreem keessaa, fardeen lolaas Yerusaalem keessaa nan balleessa; iddaan waraanaas ni caccaba. Inni sabootatti nagaa ni labsa; bulchiinsi isaa galaana tokkoo irraa hamma galaana biraatti, Laga Efraaxiisiitii hamma daarii lafaatti balʼata.
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.
Siʼi immoo, sababii dhiiga kakuu ani si wajjin qabuutiif hidhamtoota kee ani boolla bishaan hin qabne keessaa baasee gad nan dhiisa.
12 Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
Yaa hidhamtoota abdii qabdan, daʼannoo keessanitti deebiʼaa; ani ammas harka lama godhee isiniif nan deebisa.
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.
Ani akkan iddaa koo dabsadhutti Yihuudaa dabsee Efreem keessa nan guuta. Yaa Xiyoon, ani ilmaan kee ilmaan Giriikitti nan kaasa; siʼi immoo akka goraadee goota tokkoo nan godhadha.
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.
Waaqayyo isaan irratti ni mulʼata; xiyyi isaa akka bakakkaa ni balaqqisa. Waaqayyo Gooftaan malakata ni afuufa; inni bubbee kibbaatiin deema;
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.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isaan eega. Isaan dhagaa furrisaatiin barbadeessanii moʼatu. Isaan akkuma daadhii wayinii dhuganii akkuma waciitii ittiin golee iddoo aarsaatti facaasaniitti ni guutamu.
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.
Akkuma tikseen bushaayee isaa oolchu sana, Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii gaafas saba isaa ni oolcha. Isaan akkuma faaya gonfoo irraatti biyya isaa keessatti ni calaqqisu.
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.
Isaan akkam nama hawwatu! Akkamis miidhagu! Midhaan dargaggoota, daadhiin wayinii haaraan immoo shamarran jajjabeessa.
