Zechariah 12
1 [This is] a message from Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh is the one who stretched out the sky, who created the earth, and who (gave life to humans/caused humans to be alive). This is what he says:
Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh maipapan iti Israel—maysa a pakaammo ni Yahweh, a nangiyukrad iti tangatang ken nangisaad iti pundasion ti daga, ti nangted iti espiritu dagiti tattao:
2 “I will soon cause Jerusalem to be [like] [MET] a cup full [of very strong alcoholic drink], and the people of other nations who drink it will stagger around. And they will come and attack Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah.
“Kitaenyo, pagbalinekton ti Jerusalem a kasla maysa a kopa ti arak a mangpadewerdewer kadagiti amin a tattao iti aglawlawna; kastanto met ti mapasamak iti Juda bayat iti pananglakub dagiti kabusor iti Jerusalem.
3 At that time, [the armies of] all the nations will gather to attack Jerusalem, but I will cause [the leaders of] Judah to be [like] [SIM] a very heavy rock, and all who [try to] lift it will be badly injured.
Mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw a pagbalinek ti Jerusalem a kasla nadagsen a bato para kadagiti amin a tattao. Siasinoman a mangbagkat iti dayta a bato ket masugatanna ti bagina iti nakaro, ket agmaymaysanto amin a nasion iti daga a mangraut iti dayta a siudad.
4 At that time I will cause every [one of their enemies’] horses to panic, and their riders to become crazy. I [IDM] will protect the people of Judah, but I will cause all their enemies’ horses to become blind.
Iti dayta nga aldaw” —daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—”Kigtotekto ti tunggal kabalio ken pagmauyongekto ti tunggal kubamakabalio. Salaknibakto ti balay ti Juda ket pagbulsekekto ti tunggal kabalio dagiti armada ti kabusor.
5 Then the leaders of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people in Jerusalem are strong because the Commander of the armies of angels is their God.’
Ket ibaganto dagiti pangulo ti Juda iti pusoda, 'Dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem ti pigsami gapu kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Diosda.'
6 At that time I will enable the leaders of Judah to be like [SIM] a pan containing hot coals [that is put] in a woodpile [to set it on fire], or like [SIM] a burning torch [that is put] in a [field of] ripe grain [to set it on fire]. The leaders of Judah [and their army] will destroy the people of the surrounding nations in all directions. But [the people of] Jerusalem will remain safe.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, pagbalinekto dagiti pangulo ti Juda a kasla kadagiti banga ti apuy iti tengnga ti napenpen a pagsungrod ken kas iti gumilgil-ayab a pagsilawan iti tengnga dagiti nagangon a dawa, gapu ta uramendanto dagiti amin a tattao iti aglawlawda iti makannawan ken iti makannigidda. Agnaedto manen ti Jerusalem iti bukkodna a lugar.”
7 And [I], Yahweh, will protect the tents of [the soldiers in other places in] Judah before [I rescue the people of Jerusalem], in order that the leaders of Jerusalem [DOU] will not be honored more than [the people in other places in] Judah [are honored].
Isalakanto nga umuna ni Yahweh dagiti tolda ti Juda, tapno saan a maartapan ti dayaw ti balay ni David ken ti dayaw dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem dagiti dadduma iti Juda.
8 At that time, I will protect [MET] the people of Jerusalem. When that happens, even the weakest people in Jerusalem will be [strong] like [King] David [was]. And the descendants [MTY] of David will [rule the people] like I [would], as though an angel sent from [me], Yahweh, was their leader.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, agbalinto ni Yahweh a salaknib dagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem, ken iti dayta nga aldaw, pumigsanto dagiti nakapsut kadakuada a kas kenni David, kabayatan a ti balay ni David ket kasla iti Dios, kas iti anghel ni Yahweh iti sangoananda.
9 At that time, I will prepare to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
“Mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw a rugiak a dadaelen dagiti amin a nasion a nangraut iti Jerusalem.”
10 “I, [Yahweh, ] will cause the descendants [MTY] of [King] David to act very kindly and mercifully. They will look at me, [the one] who has been stabbed, and they will cry bitterly, like people cry for a firstborn son [who has died] [DOU].
“Ngem ibukbokkonto kadagiti kaputotan ni David ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem ti espiritu iti kinamanangaasi ken panagpakpakaasi kaniak tapno kaasiak ida, isu a kumitadanto kaniak, ti dinuyokda. Agladngitdanto gapu kaniak, kas iti panagladingit ti maysa a tao gapu iti bugbugtong nga anakna a lalaki; agdung-awdanto iti nasaem gapu kenkuana a kas kadagiti agdungdung-aw gapu iti ipapatay ti inauna nga anak a lalaki.
11 At that time, many people in Jerusalem will be crying bitterly, like people cried [when King Josiah was killed in the battle] at Hadad-Rimmon on the Megiddo Plain.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, ti panagdung-aw idiay Jerusalem ket kaslanto iti panagdung-aw idiay Adadrimon idiay tanap ti Megiddo.
12 Many people in Judah will cry, each family by themselves: the male descendants of David by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [David’s son] Nathan by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
Agladingitto ti daga ti Juda, agsisinanto ti tunggal puli manipud iti dadduma a puli. Maisinanto ti puli iti balay ni David, ken maisinanto dagiti assawada a babbai kadagiti lallaki. Maisinanto ti puli iti balay ni Natan, ken maisinanto dagiti assawada a babbai kadagiti lallaki.
13 the male descendants [MTY] of Levi by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [Levi’s grandson] Shimei by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
Maisinanto ti puli ti balay ni Levi, ken maisinanto dagiti assawada a babbai kadagiti lallaki. Maisinanto ti puli ni Simei, ken maisinanto dagiti assawada a babbai kadagiti lallaki.
14 and all the other members [of the kings’ clans and the priests’ clans] by themselves, and their wives by themselves.”
Tunggal puli kadagiti nabatbati a puli—maisinanto ti tunggal puli, ken maisinanto dagiti assawa a babbai kadagiti lallaki.”
