Zechariah 9
1 [This is another] message [that I received] from Yahweh. [Yahweh said, ] “I watch [MTY] everyone, especially the tribes of Israel; [so] I will [punish the people in] the Hadrach [region] and in Damascus [city] [because of what they did to the people of Israel].
Hina Gode Ea sia: ne iasu da agoane: E da Ha: idala: ge soge fi amola Dama: sagase moilai bai bagade fi ilima se dabe ima: ne ilegei. Isala: ili fi huluane ilia da Gode Ea: Be Silia soge bisilua moilai bai bagade amola da Gode Ea:
2 [I will also punish the people in] nearby Hamath [city]. I will also [punish the people in] Tyre and Sidon [cities], even though they are [considered to be] [IRO] very wise.
Ha: ima: de (ea alalo da Ha: idala: ge soge bega: gala) amola Daia amola Saidone (amo moilai bai bagade ili ganodini da bagade dawa: su hawa: hamosu dunu esala), ili amola da Ea:
3 [The people in] Tyre built a high wall [around their city]. They piled up [huge amounts of] silver and gold as though they were [piles of] dirt in the streets.
Daia moilai bai bagade dunu ilia da ilia moilai bai bagade gagili sali. Amola ilia da silifa amola gouli bagadedafa gilisibiba: le, gouli amola silifa ilia idi da osobo gulu idi defele ba: sa.
4 But [I], Yahweh, will cause their precious possessions to be taken away and all their ships to be destroyed, and their city will be destroyed by a fire.
Be Hina Gode da Daia ea gagui huluane samogele lamu. E da Daia ea gagui huluane amo hano wayabo bagadega galagamu. Amola Daia moilai bai bagade da laluga nei dagoiba: le, hamedafa ba: mu.
5 [The people in Ashkelon city] will see that [happen], and they will become very afraid. [The people in] Gaza [city] will shake because of being terrified, and [the people in Ekron city] will shake too, because they will no longer expect [to prosper]. The king of [the city of] Gaza will be killed, and [the city of] Ashkelon will be deserted.
A: siegelone moilai bai bagade fi da amo ba: le, beda: mu. Ga: isa moilai bai bagade fi da amo ba: beba: le, se bagade nabimu. Egelone moilai bai bagade fi amola da se nabimu amola ilia dafawane hamoma: beyale wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Ga: isa moilai bai bagade da ea hina bagade fisi ba: mu. Amola A: siegelone da ma: bui ba: mu.
6 Foreigners will occupy Ashdod [city]. I will cause the [people in all those cities of] Philistia to no longer be proud.
Dunu amo da eda fi hisu amola eme fi hisu ela gilisili mano da A: siedode moilai bai bagade ganodini esalumu. Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da gasa fi Filisidini dunu ilia hou asabomu.
7 I will no longer allow them to eat [MTY] meat that still has blood in it, and I will forbid them to eat [MTY] food that I [MTY] have not allowed them to eat [because it was offered to idols]. [At that time, ] the people [in Philistia] who survive will worship me, and they will become [my people, like] the people of Judah are. The Philistine people of Ekron will also become my people like [SIM] the people of Jebus did [when they were conquered].
Amasea, ilia da hu amo ganodini da maga: me diala, amo hame manu. Amola Filisidini hame bogoi, esalea, da Na fi dunuma gilisimu. Amola ilia da fi eno Yuda fi amo ganodini esalebe defele ba: mu. Amola Yebiusaide fi da Na fi ilima gilisi, amo defele, Egelone fi da Na fi ilima madelagimu.
8 I will protect my temple, and I will not allow any [enemy soldiers] to enter it. No [enemies] will harm my people again, because I will be watching [over my people] carefully.
Na da Na soge sosodo aligimu. Amola ha lai dadi gagui wa: i amo Na soge mae baligili masa: ne, ilia logo ga: simu. Gasa fi ouligisu dunu da Na fi bu mae banenesima: ne, Na da hamomu. Ba: i Na da Na fi dunu ilia se nabasu ba: i dagoi.”
9 Rejoice very much, [you people of] Jerusalem [APO, DOU] and shout joyfully, because your king will be coming to you. He is righteous and victorious; [but he will be] gentle, and [he will be] riding on a donkey, on a young female donkey.
Saione dunu, dilia! Nodoma! Nodoma! Yelusaleme dunu dilia! Nodoiba: le, ha: gi wele sia: ma! Ba: ma! Dilia Hina Bagade da dilima mana! E da hasalawene manebe! Be amowane, E da asabole amola dougi da: iya fila heda: le manebe! E da dougi ea mano amo da: iya fila heda: le maha!
10 I will get rid of the chariots in the Ephraim [region that are used in battles] and [all] the war horses in Jerusalem. [All] the bows used in wars will be broken. [Your king] will proclaim that he will cause things to go well and peacefully in the nations. He will rule [the area] from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Dead] Sea, and from the [Euphrates] River to the most distant places on the earth.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da gegesu ‘sa: liode’ amo Isala: ili sogega fadegale fasimu. Amola Na da gegesu hosi Yelusaleme amoga fadegale fasimu. Gegesu dadi da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Dilia Hina Bagade da hamobeba: le, fifi asi gala huluane da olofosu ba: mu. E da hano wayabo bagade la: idi bega: diala asili hano wayabo bagade eno la: idi bega: diala amo dibiga soge huluane amo ouligimu. E da Iufala: idisi Hano asili osobo bagade bega: huluane amo soge dibiga huluane ouligimu.”
11 As for you [my people of Jerusalem], because of the blood [of the animals that were sacrificed to make] my agreement with you, I will free your people who were forced to go to other countries where [it was as though they were kept] in a waterless pit.
Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Dilia Yuda amola Isala: ili fi dunu! Dilia da mugululi asili, fedege agoane hafoga: i uli dogoi ganodini udigili hawa: hamonana. Be Na da dilia hahawane udigili laloma: ne, dilia logo doasimu. Bai Na dilima gousa: su hamoi da gobele salasu maga: me amoga ilegei.
12 [You people who were] prisoners [in those countries] who [still] confidently expect [God to help you], return to [Judah], where you will be safe. This day I declare that I will give you two blessings for [each of the troubles that you have experienced].
Dilia mugululi asi dunu! Dilia gagili sali diasuga buhagima! Dilia da wali dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su gala! Na da wali dilima sia: sa! Dilia da se nabi dagoi. Be wali Na da dilima hahawane dogolegele bidi imunu. (Amo bidi ea defei da dilia se nabasu defei amo adunawane baligimu.)
13 I will cause Judah to be like [MET] my bow, and I will cause Israel to be [like] [MET] my arrow. I will enable you young men of Jerusalem to fight against the soldiers of Greece; you will be like [SIM] a warrior’s sword.”
Na da dilia ha lai dunu ilima gegemusa: , fedege agoane Yuda dunu dadi gagui ea oulali hamomu amola Isala: ili dunu dadi agoane hamomu. Na da Galisi dunu ilima gegemusa: , Saione dunu amo gegesu gobihei agoane hamomu.”
14 [Some day] Yahweh will appear [in the sky] above his people, and the arrows that he shoots will be like [SIM] lightning. Yahweh [our] Lord will blow his trumpet, and he will march [fiercely] like [MET] the storms from the south.
Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu dabuagadodili ahoanebe ba: mu. E da Ea dadi gala: sea, haha: na digagala: be agoai ba: mu. Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da dalebede dumu. E da mulu ga (south) amoganini mabe, amo ganodini mogodigimu.
15 The Commander of the armies of angels will protect [his people]; [the soldiers of Judah] will attack and defeat [their enemies who attack them] using slingshots. [Those soldiers of Judah] will drink and celebrate and shout like [SIM] people who are drunk; they will be as full [of wine] as the bowl that holds [the blood of the animals that are sacrificed] and [which is then] sprinkled on the corners of the altar.
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da Ea fi dunu gaga: mu. Amola ilia da ilima ha lai dunu wadela: lesimu. Ilia da gegesu ganodini, adini ba: i dunu agoane ha: gi wele sisia: mu. Ilia da ilima ha lai dunu ilia maga: me masa: ne fa: ginisisimu. Ilima ha lai dunu ilia maga: me da maga: me amo da oloda da: iya ofodoga sogadigi, amo agoai a: imasunu.
16 On that day, Yahweh our God will save his people [like a shepherd saves] his flock [of sheep from danger]. In their land, they will be like [SIM] jewels that sparkle on a crown.
Amo esoha doaga: sea, sibi ouligisu dunu da ea sibi wa: i wadela: sa: besa: le gaga: sa, amo defele, Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu gaga: mu. Hina bagade ea habuga nina: hamoma: ne, igi noga: i da nenemegibi defele, Hina Gode Ea fi dunu da fedege agoane nenemegimu.
17 They will be delightful and beautiful. The young men will become strong from [eating] grain, and the young women will [become strong] from [drinking] new wine.
Isala: ili soge da noga: idafa amola isisima: goidafa ba: mu. Ayeligi fi dunu da soge ea gagoma amola waini hano nabeba: le, gasa lamu.
