Zechariah 9
1 The prophecy of the word of Jehovah is against the land of Hadrach, And upon Damascus shall it come down, For the eye of Jehovah is over man, And over all the tribes of Israel,
Mawu a Yehova odzudzula dziko la Hadiraki ndi mzinda wa Damasiko pakuti maso a anthu ndiponso mafuko onse a Israeli ali pa Yehova—
2 And against Hamath, which bordereth thereon, And Tyre and Sidon, though she be very wise.
ndiponso mzinda wa Hamati, umene ukuchita malire ndi dzikoli, komanso pa Turo ndi Sidoni, ngakhale kuti iwo ndi anzeru kwambiri.
3 Though Tyre hath built her a fortress, And hath heaped up silver as dust, And fine gold as the mire of the streets,
Ndipo Turo anadzimangira linga; wadziwunjikira siliva ngati fumbi, ndi golide ngati zinyalala za mʼmisewu.
4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, And will smite her power into the sea, And she shall be devoured by fire.
Taonani Ambuye adzamulanda chuma chakecho ndi kuwononga mphamvu zake mʼnyanja, ndipo adzapserera ndi moto.
5 Askelon shall see it and fear, Gaza also shall see and tremble, And Ekron, because her expectation shall be put to shame. The king shall perish from Gaza, And Askelon shall not be inhabited.
Mzinda wa Asikeloni udzaona zimenezi, nʼkuchita mantha; Gaza adzanjenjemera ndi ululu, chimodzimodzinso Ekroni, chifukwa chiyembekezo chake chidzatheratu. Mfumu ya ku Gaza idzaphedwa ndipo Asikeloni adzakhala opanda anthu.
6 And strangers shall dwell in Ashdod, And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Mu Asidodi mudzakhala mlendo, ndipo ndidzathetsa kunyada kwa Afilisti.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, And his abominations from between his teeth; And even he shall be left for our God, And he shall be as a governor in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.
Ndidzachotsa nyama ya magazi mʼkamwa mwawo, chakudya choletsedwa mʼmano mwawo. Amene atsala adzakhala anthu a Mulungu wathu, adzasanduka atsogoleri mu Yuda, ndipo Ekroni adzakhala ngati Ayebusi.
8 And I will encamp about my house, as a garrison, Against him that passeth by and him that returneth, And no oppressor shall pass through them any more; For now have I seen with my own eyes.
Koma Ine ndidzalondera Nyumba yanga ndi kuyiteteza kwa ankhondo osakaza. Palibenso mdani amene adzagonjetse anthu anga, pakuti tsopano ndikuwayangʼanira.
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion, Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy king cometh to thee; He is just and victorious, Mild, and riding upon an ass, Even upon a colt, the foal of an ass.
Sangalala kwambiri, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni! Fuwula, mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu! Taona, mfumu yako ikubwera kwa iwe, yolungama ndi yogonjetsa adani, yodzichepetsa ndi yokwera pa bulu, pa mwana wamphongo wa bulu.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem; And the battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace to the nations; And his dominion shall be from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.
Ndidzachotsa magaleta ankhondo ku Efereimu ndi akavalo ankhondo ku Yerusalemu, ndipo uta wankhondo udzathyoka. Mfumuyo idzabweretsa mtendere pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. Ulamuliro wake udzayambira ku nyanja ina mpaka ku nyanja ina, ndipo kuchokera ku Mtsinje (Yufurate) mpaka ku malekezero a dziko lapansi.
11 As for thee also, on account of thy blood-sealed covenant, I will set thy prisoners free from the pit wherein is no water.
Tsono kunena za iwe, chifukwa cha magazi a pangano lako ndi Ine, ndidzamasula amʼndende ako, ndidzawatulutsa mʼdzenje lopanda madzi.
12 Return ye to the strong-hold, ye prisoners of hope! Even this day do I declare it: I will restore double unto thee.
Bwererani ku malo anu otetezedwa, inu amʼndende achiyembekezo; ngakhale tsopano ndikulengeza kuti ndidzakubwezerani zabwino mowirikiza.
13 For I will bend Judah as a bow for myself; As a bow will I extend Ephraim to the utmost; And I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, Against thy sons, O Greece, And make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
Ndidzakoka Yuda monga ndimakokera uta wanga, ndipo Efereimu ndiye muvi wake. Ndidzadzutsa ana ako iwe Ziyoni, kulimbana ndi ana ako iwe Grisi, ndipo ndidzakusandutsa iwe lupanga la munthu wankhondo.
14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them. And his arrow shall go forth as lightning; And the Lord Jehovah shall blow the trumpet, And shall go forth with whirlwinds of the South.
Pamenepo Yehova adzaonekera kwa anthu ake; mivi yake idzangʼanima ngati chingʼaningʼani. Ambuye Yehova adzaliza lipenga; ndipo adzayenda mu mkuntho wochokera kummwera,
15 Jehovah of hosts shall defend them; And they shall devour, and trample under feet the sling-stones, And they shall drink, and shout as through wine, And they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
ndipo Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawateteza. Iwo adzawononga ndipo adzagonjetsa ndi miyala ya legeni. Adzamwa magazi ndi kubangula ngati amwa vinyo; magazi adzayenderera ngati a mʼmbale yowazira magazi pa ngodya za guwa lansembe.
16 And Jehovah, their God, shall save them in that day; He will save his people as a flock; For they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifting themselves up in his land.
Tsiku limenelo Yehova Mulungu wawo adzawapulumutsa pakuti anthu ake ali ngati nkhosa. Adzanyezimira mʼdziko lake ngati miyala yokongola pa chipewa chaufumu.
17 How great shall be their prosperity, and how great their beauty! Corn shall make the young men thrive, and new wire the maidens.
Taonani chikoka ndi kukongola kwawo! Tirigu adzasangalatsa anyamata, ndi vinyo watsopano anamwali.
