< 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:
Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vaheku hu'nea naneke. Monama eri rutareno tro hunenteno, mopamofo tra'ama tro hunenteno, vahe'ma tro huno avamu'ma agu'afima ante'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie,
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.
Nagra Jerusalemi kumara azeri retro hanugeno aka tinkna hu'nena, Jerusalemi kuma'mofoma megagi'nea kumapi vahe'mo'zama sondia vahe'zmima huzmantesage'za Jerusalemi kuma'ene Juda kuma'enema ha'ma huzmanteku'ma esanu'za neginagi eme hugahaze.
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.
Ana knarera Jerusalemi kumara mago knanentake have erise'nugeno, iza'o ana havema erisgama hunaku hanimo'a tusi hazenke erigahie. Ana nehanige'za Jerusalemi kumara ha' hunte'naku maka kokankoka vahe'mo'za emeri atru hugahaze.
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.
Ra Anumzamo'a huno, ana knarera maka hosi afutamina zamazeri koro nehu'na, ana hosi afutamimofo agumpima vanoma nehaza vahetmina zamazeri savri hugahue. Juda vahetmina navunte'na kegava hu'nena ha' vahezamimofo hosi afutamina zamavurga eri asu hugahue.
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.’
Juda mopafi kva vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za zamagu'afina antahigahaze, Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzamo hankavea nezmie hu'za hugahaze.
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.
E'i ana knarera Juda vahera zamazeri tevenefa kna hanenkeno teve hanavazi'negeno akrukru hiankna huge, afe tagintageno witi hoza ruhagna huno tefanane hiankna hugahaze. Tava'ozmire'ma nemaniza mopafi vahera tevemo ruhagana hiankna huza zamazeri haviza hu vagaregahaze. Hianagi Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'za mago zankura antri osu' knare hu'za manigahaze.
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].
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a esera Juda vahe zamagura vazinigeno, Deviti nagamo'ma ra agima eneria zamo'ene, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'zama ra zamagima e'neriza zamo'enena Juda nagara zamagate'oregosie.
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.
E'i ana knarera Ra Anumzamo'a Jerusalemi kumapi vahera zamahokegahie. Hagi amu'nozmifima hankavezmima omane'nesia vahe'mo'za kini ne' Deviti kna hu'za hankave vahe nemanisageno, kini ne' Deviti naga'mo'za Anumzankna nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo vugote zmanteno viankna hugahaze.
9 At that time, I will prepare to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
Hagi ana knafina Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'ma ha'ma renezmantaza mopafi vahera agafa hu'na zamahe vagaregahue.
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].
Ana hute'na Deviti nagate'ene Jerusalemi kumapi nemaniza vahete'enena asunku'ma nehuno nunamuma hu avamu tagitregahue. Ana hanuge'za karugru kevema nare'naza ne' nagri nenage'za, magoke'ma ante'nea mofavre'ama fri'negeno nerera afa'ma tusi zavi krafa hiankna huza tusi zavi ategahaze.
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.
Ana knare'ma Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za zamasunku'ma hu'za zavima atesazana, Megido agupofima Hadad-Rimoninku'ma zavi'ma ate'nazankna hu'za zavira ategahaze.
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,
Ana maka Israeli vahe kevumo'za zavira ategahazankino, mago mago naga nofimo'a agra'a eri atru huno zavira atetere hugahie. A'nemo'zane vene'nemo'zanena arure arure zavira netesageno, Neteni naga'mo'za arure zavira netesage'za, Deviti naga'mo'zanena arure zavira ategahaze.
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,
Levi naga'mo'za arure zavira atesageno, a'nezamimo'za arure zavira netesageno, Simei naga'mo'za arure zavira netesageno a'nezmimo'za rure zavira ategahaze.
14 and all the other members [of the kings’ clans and the priests’ clans] by themselves, and their wives by themselves.”
Mago'mago naga nofi'ma mani'naza naga'mo'zanena ana hu'za vene'ne'amo'za arure zavira netesageno zamanarahehe'za arure zavira ategahaze.
