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].
Annabci. Maganar Ubangiji tana gāba da ƙasar Hadrak za tă kuma sauko a kan Damaskus, gama idanun dukan mutane da na kabilan Isra’ila suna a kan Ubangiji,
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.
da kuma a kan Hamat ita ma, wadda ta yi iyaka da ita, da kuma a kan Taya da Sidon, ko da yake suna da hikima ƙwarai.
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.
Taya ta gina wa kanta mafaka mai ƙarfi; ta tara azurfa kamar ƙasa, zinariya kuma kamar tarin shara a tituna.
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.
Amma Ubangiji zai karɓe mallakarta, zai hallaka ikonta da take da shi a kan teku, wuta kuma za tă cinye ta.
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.
Ashkelon za tă ga haka ta ji tsoro; Gaza za tă yi birgima cikin azaba, haka Ekron ma, gama za tă fid da zuciya. Gaza za tă rasa sarkinta za a kuma gudu a bar Ashkelon.
6 Foreigners will occupy Ashdod [city]. I will cause the [people in all those cities of] Philistia to no longer be proud.
Baƙi za su mallaki Ashdod, kuma zan kawar da girman kan Filistiyawa.
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].
Zan kawar da jini daga bakinsu, zan kuma cire abincin da aka haramta daga tsakanin haƙoransu. Waɗanda za a bari za su zama na Allahnmu, su kuma zama shugabanni a Yahuda, Ekron kuma za tă zama kamar Yebusiyawa.
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.
Amma zan kāre gidana daga sojoji masu kai da kawowa. Azzalumi ba zai ƙara cin mutanena da yaƙi ba, gama yanzu ina tsaro.
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.
Ki yi murna ƙwarai, ya Diyar Urushalima! Ki yi sowa, Diyar Urushalima! Duba, ga sarkinki yana zuwa wurinki, mai adalci yana kuma da ceto, mai tawali’u yana kuma hawan jaki, yana a kan ɗan aholaki, a kan’yar jaka.
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.
Zan ƙwace kekunan yaƙi daga Efraim, da kuma dawakan yaƙi daga Urushalima, za a kuma karya bakan yaƙi. Zai yi shelar salama ga al’ummai. Mulkinsa zai yaɗu daga teku zuwa teku, daga Kogi kuma zuwa ƙarshen duniya.
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.
Ke kuma, saboda jinin alkawarina da ke, zan’yantar da’yan kurkukunki daga rami marar ruwa.
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].
Ku koma maɓuya, ya ku’yan kurkuku masu sa zuciya; ko yanzu ma na sanar cewa zan mayar muku ninki biyu.
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.”
Zan lanƙwasa Yahuda yadda nake lanƙwasa bakana, in kuma cika ta da Efraim kamar kibiya. Zan tā da’ya’yanki maza, ya Sihiyona, gāba da’ya’yanki, ya Girka, in kuma mai da ke kamar takobin jarumin yaƙi.
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.
Sa’an nan Ubangiji zai bayyana a bisansu; kibiyarsa za tă wulga kamar walƙiya. Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka zai busa ƙaho; zai taho ta cikin guguwa daga kudu,
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.
Ubangiji Maɗaukaki kuma zai tsare su. Za su hallakar su kuma yi nasara da duwatsun majajjawa. Za su sha su yi kururuwa kamar sun sha ruwan inabi; za su cika kamar kwanon da ake amfani don a yayyafa jini a kusurwoyin bagade.
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.
Ubangiji Allahnsu zai cece su a wannan rana gama su mutanensa ne da kuma garkensa. Za su haska a cikin ƙasarsa kamar lu’ulu’u a rawani.
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.
Za su yi kyan gani da kuma bansha’awa! Hatsi zai sa samari su yi murna, sabon ruwan inabi kuma zai sa’yan mata su yi farin ciki.
