< Zechariah 8 >

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh of hosts saying.
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano ki ahau, i mea,
2 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts I am jealous for Zion jealousy great and rage great I am jealous for it.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Nui atu te hae i hae ai ahau ki Hiona, he nui hoki te riri i hae ai ahau ki a ia.
3 Thus he says Yahweh I have returned to Zion and I will dwell in [the] midst of Jerusalem and it will be called Jerusalem [the] city of faithfulness and [the] mountain of Yahweh of hosts [the] mountain of holiness.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Kua hoki nei ahau ki Hiona, kua noho ki Hiruharama; a tera e kiia a Hiruharama, Ko te pa o te pono, ko te maunga o Ihowa o nga mano, Ko te maunga tapu.
4 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts again they will sit old [men] and old [women] in [the] open places of Jerusalem and each staff his [will be] in hand his from abundance of days.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tenei ake ka noho he koroheke, he ruruhi ki nga waharoa o Hiruharama, rite rawa te ringa o tenei, o tenei, i te tokotoko, he maha hoki no nga tau.
5 And [the] open places of the city they will be filled boys and girls playing in open places its.
Ko nga waharoa ano o te pa kapi tonu i nga tamariki tane, i nga kotiro e takaro ana i ona waharoa.
6 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts if it will be difficult in [the] eyes of [the] remnant of the people this in the days those also in view my will it be difficult? [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Ki te pakeke ki te titiro a nga morehu o tenei iwi i aua ra, e pakeke ano ranei ki taku titiro? e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
7 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts here I [am] about to save people my from [the] land of [the] east and from [the] land of [the] setting of the sun.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tenei ahau te whakaora nei i taku iwi i te whenua ki te rawhiti, i te whenua ano hoki ki te hauauru.
8 And I will bring them and they will dwell in [the] midst of Jerusalem and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God in faithfulness and in righteousness.
Ka kawea mai ano ratou e ahau, ka noho ratou ki waenganui o Hiruharama, a hei iwi ratou maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo ratou i runga i te pono, i te tika.
9 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts let them be strong hands your O those [who] hear in the days these the words these from [the] mouth of the prophets who on [the] day [when] it was founded [the] house of Yahweh of hosts the temple to be rebuilt.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Kia kaha o koutou ringa, e te hunga e rongo ana i enei ra ki enei kupu o roto i te mangai o nga poropiti i te ra i whakatakotoria ai te turanga mo te whare o Ihowa o nga mano, ara mo te temepara kia hanga ai.
10 For before the days those [the] wage[s] of person not it happened and [the] wage[s] of the animal[s] [was] not it and [belonged] to the [one who] went out and to the [one who] came not peace from the opponent so I may send every person each on neighbor his.
I mua hoki i enei ra kahore he utu mo te mahi a te tangata, kahore he utu mo ta te kararehe; kahore hoki he ata noho mo te tangata i haere atu, mo te tangata ano i haere mai, i te hoariri hoki; naku hoki i mea nga tangata katoa kia whawhai ki to na hoa, ki tona hoa.
11 And now not like the days former I [will be] to [the] remnant of the people this [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.
Na e kore taku inaianei ki nga morehu o tenei iwi e rite ki to nga ra o mua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
12 That [the] seed of peace the vine it will give fruit its and the land it will give produce its and the heavens they will give dew their and I will give as an inheritance [the] remnant of the people this all these [things].
No te mea ka ai te purapura o te rongo mau, ka tukua mai ona hua e te waina, ka tukua mai ano ona mau e te whenua, ka homai hoki to ratou tomairangi e nga rangi; maku ano e mea nga morehu o tenei iwi kia whiwhi ki enei mea katoa.
13 And it will be just as you were a curse among the nations O house of Judah and [the] house of Israel so I will save you and you will be a blessing may not you be afraid let them be strong hands your.
Na i mua hei kanga koutou i roto i nga iwi, e te whare o Hura, e te whare o Iharaira, ka pena te nui o taku whakaora i a koutou, a hei manaakitanga koutou: kaua e wehi, kia kaha o koutou ringa.
14 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts just as I planned to do harm to you when provoked to anger ancestors your me he says Yahweh of hosts and not I relented.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ka rite ki taku meatanga i te he mo koutou i te whakapataritaringa a o koutou matua ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, a kihai toku whakaaro i puta ke:
15 So I have returned I have planned in the days these to do good to Jerusalem and [the] house of Judah may not you be afraid.
Ka pera ano te hoki ake o toku whakaaro i enei ra ki te pai kia meatia ki Hiruharama, ki te whare ano o Hura: kaua e wehi.
16 These [are] the things which you will do speak truth each with neighbor his faithfulness and justice of peace judge in gates your.
Ko a koutou enei e mea ai; Korerotia te pono ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa; kia pono, kia whai i te rangimarie ta koutou whakarite whakawa i o koutou kuwaha:
17 And each - [the] harm of neighbor his may not you plan in heart your and an oath of falsehood may not you love for all these [are things] which I hate [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Kaua hoki e whakaaroa he kino i roto i o koutou ngakau ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa; kaua ano e arohaina te oati teka; no te mea e kinongia ana enei mea katoa e ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
18 And it came [the] word of Yahweh of hosts to me saying.
I puta ano te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano ki ahau: i mea,
19 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] fast of the fourth [month] and [the] fast of the fifth [month] and [the] fast of the seventh [month] and [the] fast of the tenth [month] it will become for [the] house of Judah joy and gladness and appointed feasts good and truth and peace love.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ko te nohopuku o te wha o nga marama, ko te nohopuku o te rima, ko te nohopuku o te whitu, ko te nohopuku o te ngahuru, hei oranga ngakau ena ki te whare o Hura, hei mea whakahari, hei hakari harakoa; na aroh aina te pono me te ata noho.
20 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts yet this: they will come peoples and [the] inhabitants of cities many.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tenei ake ka tae mai he iwi, he tangata i nga pa maha:
21 And they will go [the] inhabitants of one [city] to one [city] saying let us go steadfastly to entreat [the] face of Yahweh and to seek Yahweh of hosts I will go also I.
A ka haere nga tangata o tetahi pa ki tetahi pa, ka mea, Hapainga, tatou ka haere ki te inoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te rapu i a Ihowa o nga mano: ka haere ano hoki ahau.
22 And they will come peoples many and nations mighty to seek Yahweh of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat [the] face of Yahweh.
Ae ra, he tini nga iwi, he kaha nga tauiwi e haere mai ki te rapu i a Ihowa o nga mano i Hiruharama, ki te inoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
23 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts in the days those that they will take hold ten people from all [the] tongues of the nations and they will take hold on [the] skirt of a person Jewish saying we want to go with you for we have heard God [is] with you.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, i aua ra ka hopu nga tangata kotahi tekau, he hunga no nga reo katoa o nga iwi, ka hopu i te remu o to tetahi Hurai, ka mea, Kia haere tahi tatou; kua rongo hoki matou kei a koutou te Atua.
