Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of YHWH came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Niheo amy Zekarià mpitoky ana’ i Berekià ana’Idò amy volam-paha-valo’ i taom-paha-roe’ i Dariavese mpanjakaiy ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
2 "YHWH was very displeased with your fathers.
Niviñetse aman-droae’ areo t’Iehovà.
3 Therefore tell them: Thus says YHWH of hosts: 'Return to me,' says YHWH of hosts, 'and I will return to you,' says YHWH of hosts.
Aa le isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mimpolia amako, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho himpoliako ka, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says YHWH of hosts, 'Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;' but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says YHWH.
Ko mitsikombe an-droae’ areo, o nitseize’ o mpitoky taoloo ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mifotera amo sata rati’ areoo henane zao, naho amo fitoloña’ areo ratio; f’ie tsy nijanjiñe, tsy nañaoñe ahy, hoe t’Iehovà.
5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
O roae’ areoo! aia iereo? naho o mpitokio, veloñe nainai’e hao?
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 YHWH of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.'"
Fa o volakoo naho o fañèko nafantoko amo mpitoky mpitorokoo, tsy ie hao ty nahatakatse o roae’ areoo? ie nitolike nanao ty hoe: Toe i nisafirie’ Iehovà’ i Màroy hanoañe ty amo sata’aio naho o fitoloña’aio izay, ty nafetsake ama’ay.
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of YHWH came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Ie amy andro faha-roapolo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-paha-folo-raik’ambiy, i volan-katsiha an-taom-paha-roe’ i Dariavesey, le niheo amy Zekarià mpitoky ana’ i Berekià, ana’ Idò ty tsara i’ Iehovà, manao ty hoe:
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.
Niaroñaroñeko amy haleñey, te ingo t’indaty niningitse soavala mena, nijohañe ambane’ ty borodoke an-goledoñe ao, naho amboho’e ty soavala mena naho ty mavo naho ty foty.
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."
Le hoe iraho, Hoke ry Talè, Inoñe o reroañeo? Aa hoe i ìrake nisaontsy amakoy, Hatoroko azo ty lengo’ iretoañe.
10 The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said to me, "They are the ones YHWH has sent to go back and forth through the earth."
Nanoiñe amy zao indaty nijohañe amo borodokeoy, ami’ty hoe: Ie o nirahe’ Iehovà hañavelo mb’eo mb’eo an-tane atoio.
11 They reported to the angel of YHWH 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."
Vinale’ iareo ty anjeli’ Iehovà nijohañe amo borodokeo ami’ty hoe: Nanjotike mb’eo mb’eo amy taney zahay, le ingo, mipendreñe i taney vaho mitofa.
12 Then the angel of YHWH replied, "YHWH 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?"
Nanoiñe amy zao ty anjeli’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, ombia te ho ferenaiñeñe t’Ierosalaime naho o rova’ Iehodao, o nitorifiha’o i fitompolo taoñe rezaio?
13 YHWH answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.
Tinoi’Iehovà tsara soa i anjely nisaontsy amakoy, tsaran-kanintsiñe.
14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts: "I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, taroño ty hoe, Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; farahieko t’Ierosalaime naho i Tsione am-parahy ra’elahy.
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."
Loho nahabosek’ ahy o kilakila’ondaty miaiñañoleñañeo; ie ni-bosebosehako avao, fe nindràe’ iareo i hasilofeñey.
16 Therefore thus says YHWH: "I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house will be built in it," says YHWH of hosts, "and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem."'
Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Mimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime am-piferenaiñan-draho; haoreko ao i kivohokoy, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho ho kozozoteñe am’ Ierosalaime ty taly.
17 "Proclaim further, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts: "My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and YHWH will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem."'"
Taroño indraike, ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Hitòbake havokarañe indraike i rovakoy; naho mbe ho tretreze’ Iehovà t’i Tsione, vaho mbe ho joboñe’e t’Ierosalaime.
18 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four horns.
Nampiandraeko maso le nahatrea te ingo ty tsifa efatse.
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."
Le hoe iraho amy anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, Inoñ’ o raha zaoo? Le hoe re amako: I tsifa nampiparaitake Iehoda naho Israele vaho Ierosalaime rey.
20 YHWH showed me four craftsmen.
Natoro’ Iehovà ahy ty mpandranjy efatse.
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."
Le hoe ty asako: Hitoloñe inoñe t’ie nitotsak’ atoy? Le hoe ty tinaro’e: O tsifa retiañe ty nampivarakaike Iehoda kanao leo ondaty raike tsy nahaongake ty añambone’e; le nivotrak’ atoy i retiañe hañembañe iareo naho handretsake o tsifa’ o kilakila’ ondaty nampitroatse ty tsifa’e an-tane’ Iehoda hampiparatsàke azeo.
