< Zechariah 1 >
1 In the month eighth in year two of Darius it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah [the] son of Berekiah [the] son of Iddo the prophet saying.
Tamin’ ny volana fahavalo tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Dariosa no nahatongavan’ ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Zakaria mpaminany, zanak’ i Berekia, zanak’ Ido, nanao hoe:
2 He was angry Yahweh towards ancestors your anger.
Tezitra indrindra tamin’ ny razanareo Jehovah.
3 And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh of hosts return to me [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts so I may return to you he says Yahweh of hosts.
Koa lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Miverena amiko ianareo, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia mba hiverina ho aminareo kosa Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
4 May not you be like ancestors your whom they proclaimed to them the prophets former saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts turn back please from ways your evil (and deeds your *Q(k)*) evil and not they listened and not they paid attention to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Aza mba toy ny razanareo, izay nantsoin’ ny mpaminany fahiny hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Mialà amin’ ny lalanareo ratsy ianareo sy amin’ ny ratsy fanaonareo; nefa tsy nitandrina izy, na nihaino Ahy, hoy Jehovah.
5 Ancestors your where? [are] they and the prophets ¿ to forever do they live.
Ny razanareo ― aiza moa ireny izao? Ary ny mpaminany ― moa velona mandrakizay va ireny?
6 Nevertheless - words my and statutes my which I commanded servants my the prophets ¿ not did they overtake ancestors your and they repented and they said just as he planned Yahweh of hosts to do to us according to ways our and according to deeds our so he has done with us.
Fa ny teniko sy ny didiko, izay nandidiako ny mpaminany mpanompoko, tsy nahatratra ny razanareo va izany? Ary izy nitodika ka nanao hoe: Araka izay nosainin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, hatao amintsika, araka ny alehantsika sy ny ataontsika, dia araka izany no nataony tamintsika.
7 On day twenty and four of one [plus] ten month it [was] [the] month of Shebat in year two of Darius it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah [the] son of Berekiah [the] son of Iddo the prophet saying.
Tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana fahiraika ambin’ ny folo (volana Sebata izany) tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Dariosa dia tonga tamin i Zakaria mpaminany, zanak’ i Berekia, zanak’ Ido, ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao, hoe:
8 I saw - the night and there! a man [was] riding on a horse red and he [was] standing between the myrtle trees which [were] in the hollow and [were] behind him horses red sorrel and white.
Nahita tamin’ ny alina aho fa, indro, nisy lehilahy nitaingina soavaly mena ka nijanona teny amin’ ny rotra teny an-dohasaha, ary teo aoriany nisy soavaly mena sy mavo ary fotsy.
9 And I said what? [are] these O lord my and he said to me the angel who was speaking with me I I will show you what? they [are] these.
Dia hoy izaho: Tompoko ô, inona moa ireo? Ary ilay anjely niresaka tamiko dia nanao tamiko hoe: Izaho haneho anao ny amin’ ireo.
10 And he answered the man who was standing between (the myrtle trees *LB(ah)*) and he said these [are those] whom he has sent Yahweh to go about on the earth.
Ary ralehilahy izay nijanona teny amin’ ny rotra dia namaly hoe: Ireo dia nirahin’ Jehovah hivoivoy eny amin’ ny tany.
11 And they answered [the] angel of Yahweh who was standing between the myrtle trees and they said we have gone about on the earth and there! all the earth [is] dwelling and [is] undisturbed.
Ary namaly Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah nijanona teny amin’ ny rotra ireo ka nanao hoe: Efa nivoivoy teny amin’ ny tany izahay, ary, indro, ny tany rehetra dia miadana sy mandry fahizay.
12 And he answered [the] angel of Yahweh and he said O Yahweh of hosts until when? you not will you have compassion on Jerusalem and [the] cities of Judah which you have been indignant this seventy year[s].
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah namaly hoe: He, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô! mandra-pahoviana no tsy hamindranao fo amin’ i Jerosalema sy amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda, izay efa nahatezitra Anao fito-polo taona izay.
13 And he answered Yahweh the angel who was speaking with me words good words comfort.
Dia novalian’ i Jehovah teny tsara sy mampionona ilay anjely niresaka tamiko.
14 And he said to me the angel who was speaking with me proclaim saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion jealousy great.
Ary ilay anjely niresaka tamiko dia nanao tamiko hoe: Miantsoa hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Saro-piaro dia saro-piaro an’ i Jerosalema sy Ziona Aho.
15 And anger great I [am] angry towards the nations at ease which I I was angry a little and they they have helped for evil.
Ary tezitra indrindra Aho amin’ ireo firenena miadana; satria Izaho dia tezitra kely ihany, fa ireo kosa dia nampitombo ny fahoriana.
16 Therefore thus he says Yahweh I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion house my it will be rebuilt in it [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts (and a measuring-line *Q(K)*) it will be stretched out over Jerusalem.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Efa tafaverina eto Jerosalema amin’ ny indrafo Aho; ny tranoko haorina eto, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ary ny famolaina hohenjanina eto Jerosalema.
17 Again - proclaim saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts again they will overflow cities my from good and he will comfort Yahweh again Zion and he will choose again Jerusalem.
Miantsoa indray hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hihoa-pampana ny fanambinana ny tanànako; ary Jehovah hampionona an’ i Ziona ary mbola hifidy an’ i Jerosalema indray.
18 And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! four horns.
Ary natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indreo, nisy tandroka efatra.
19 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me what? [are] these and he said to me these [are] the horns which they scattered Judah Israel and Jerusalem.
Ary hoy izaho tamin’ ilay anjely niresaka tamiko: Inona moa ireo? Dia hoy izy tamiko: Ireo no tandroka izay nampihahaka ny Joda sy ny Isiraely ary Jerosalema.
20 And he showed me Yahweh four craftsmen.
Ary dia nanehoan’ i Jehovah mpiasa efatra aho.
21 And I said what? [are] these coming to do and he said saying these [are] the horns which they scattered Judah according to [the] mouth of a man not he lifted up head his and they have come these [craftsmen] to terrify them to throw down [the] horns of the nations which lifted up a horn against [the] land of Judah to scatter it.
Dia hoy izaho: Avy hanao inona moa ireto? Ary Izy nanao hoe: Ireo no tandroka nampihahaka ny Joda, ka tsy nisy olona nanandrandra loha; fa ireto kosa dia avy hampahatahotra azy mba hampiongana ny tandroky ny firenena, dia izay nanandratra ny tandrony tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda hanely azy.
