< 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.
I te waru o nga marama, i te rua o nga tau o Tariuha, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hakaraia, tama a Perekia, tama a Iro poropiti; i mea ia,
2 He was angry Yahweh towards ancestors your anger.
Nui atu te riri o Ihowa ki o koutou matua.
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.
Na mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Tahuri mai ano ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, a ka tahuri atu ano hoki ahau ki a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
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.
Kei rite koutou ki o koutou matua, i karanga ra nga poropiti o mua ki a ratou, i mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tahuri mai inaianei i o koutou ara kino, i a koutou mahi kino: otiia kihai ratou i rongo, kihai hoki i whai taringa ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
5 Ancestors your where? [are] they and the prophets ¿ to forever do they live.
Ko o koutou matua, kei hea ratou? a ko nga poropiti, e ora tonu ana ranei ratou ake aka?
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.
Na, ko aku kupu me aku tikanga i whakahaua e ahau ki aku pononga, ki nga poropiti, kihai ranei o koutou matua i rokohanga e era? a hoki mai ana ratou, mea ana, Ka pera i ta Ihowa o nga mano i whakaaro ai kia meatia ki a matou, he mea whakarite ki o matou ara, ki a matou mahi; ka pera tonu tana ki a matou.
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.
I te rua tekau ma wha o nga ra o te tekau ma tahi o nga marama, ara o te marama Hepata, i te rua o nga tau o Tariuha, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hakaraia tama a Perekia, tama a Iro poropiti; i mea ia,
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.
I titiro ahau i te po, na ko tetahi tangata e noho ana i runga i te hoiho whero, a tu ana ia i roto i nga ramarama i te wharua; a i muri atu i a ia ko etahi hoiho, he whero, he kopurepure, he ma.
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.
Na ka mea atu ahau, E toku ariki, he aha enei? A ka ki mai te anahera i korero ki ahau, Maku e whakaatu ki a koe te tikanga o enei.
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.
Na ka oho mai te tangata i tu ra i roto i nga ramarama, ka mea, Ko nga mea enei i unga atu nei e Ihowa hei haereere i te whenua.
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.
Na ka whakahoki ratou ki te anahera a Ihowa e tu ana i roto i nga ramarama, ka mea, Kua haereerea e matou te whenua, nana, kei te ata noho te whenua katoa, kei te marie.
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].
Katahi ka oho te anahera a Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa o nga mano, kia pehea te roa ou ka kore nei e tohu i Hiruharama, i nga pa o Hura, e mauaharatia nei e koe i enei tau e whitu tekau?
13 And he answered Yahweh the angel who was speaking with me words good words comfort.
Na ka whakahoki a Ihowa ki te anahere i korero nei ki ahau, he kupu pai, ara he kupu whakamarie.
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.
Heoi ka mea ki ahau te anahera i korero nei ki ahau, Karanga atu koe, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, He nui te hae i hae ai ahau ki Hiruharama, ki Hiona.
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.
A he tino nui toku riri ki nga iwi e noho humarie ana: he iti noa ra hoki toku riri, a na ratou i whakatetere te he.
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.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Kua hoki mai ahau ki Hiruharama i runga i te tohu tangata; ka hanga toku whare ki reira, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, a ka whakamarokia he aho ki runga ki Hiruharama.
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.
Karanga atu ano, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano Tera oku pa e rauroha noa atu i te pai; a tera a Ihowa ka whakamarie i Hiona, tera ka whiriwhiri i Hiruharama.
18 And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! four horns.
Na ka maranga ake oku kanohi, a ka kite ahau, nana, e wha nga haona.
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.
Na ka mea ahau ki te anahera i korero nei ki ahau, He aha enei? Ano ra ko ia ki ahau, Ko nga haona enei nana i whakamarara a Hura, a Iharaira, a Hiruharama.
20 And he showed me Yahweh four craftsmen.
Na ka whakakitea e Ihowa etahi kamura ki ahau, tokowha.
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.
Katahi ahau ka mea, I haere mai enei ki te aha? A ka korero tera, ka mea, Ko nga haona enei nana i whakamarara a Hura, i kore ai e ara te mahunga o tetahi: otira i haere mai enei ki te whakawehi i a ratou, ki te whakataka iho i nga haona o nga t auiwi, o te hunga i ara nei to ratou haona ki te whenua o Hura, ki te titaritari i a ia.
