< 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].
Kanu waa warka culus ee erayga Rabbiga oo ku saabsan dalka Xadraag, oo Dimishaqna waa meeshuu joogayo, waayo, nin kasta iyo qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuba waxay indhaha ku taagayaan Rabbiga xaggiisa,
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.
iyo weliba Xamaad oo soohdinteeda ku ag taal, iyo weliba Turos iyo Siidoon, maxaa yeelay, iyadu way caqli badan tahay.
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.
Turos waxay dhisatay qalcad, oo waxay lacag u urursatay sida ciidda oo kale, iyo dahab saafiya sida dhoobada jidadka dhex taal oo kale.
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.
Bal eeg, Sayidku iyada wuu hantiyi doonaa, oo xooggeedana badduu ku tuuri doonaa, oo dab baa dhammayn doona.
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.
Ashqeloon way arki doontaa, wayna cabsan doontaa, oo Gaasana way arki doontaa oo aad bay u xanuunsan doontaa, Ceqroonna way cabsan doontaa, waayo, waxfilashadeedii way dhammaan doontaa, oo Gaasana boqorku wuu ka baabbi'i doonaa, Ashqeloonna lama degganaan doono.
6 Foreigners will occupy Ashdod [city]. I will cause the [people in all those cities of] Philistia to no longer be proud.
Ashdoodna reer garac baa dhex degganaan doona, oo kibirka reer Falastiinna waan baabbi'in doonaa.
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].
Waxaan afkooda ka soo bixin doonaa dhiiggooda, oo ilkahooda dhexdoodana karaahiyadoodaan ka soo bixin doonaa, oo iyaguna Ilaahayagay dad hadhay u ahaan doonaan, oo sida ugaas dalka Yahuudah dhex jooga oo kale ayay ahaan doonaan, oo Ceqroonna waxay noqon doontaa sida reer Yebuus.
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.
Oo gurigayga hareerihiisa waan degi doonaa inaan ciidanka ka hor joogsado, inaan ninna ka dhex marin ama ku soo noqon, oo mar dambena mid wax dulma iyaga ma dhex mari doono, waayo, haatan indhahaygaan ku arkay.
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.
Magaalada Siyoonay, si weyn u reyree, magaalada Yeruusaalemay, qayli. Bal eeg, boqorkaagu waa kuu imanayaa. Isagu waa xaq oo guul buu leeyahay, waana qalbi qabow yahay, oo wuxuu fuushan yahay dameer ah qayl dameereed.
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.
Oo anigu Efrayim gaadhifardood kasta waan ka baabbi'in doonaa, oo Yeruusaalemna faras kuma reebi doono, oo qaansada dagaalkana waa la baabbi'in doonaa. Isna quruumaha nabad buu kula hadli doonaa, oo dowladnimadiisuna waxay gaadhi doontaa bad ilaa baddeeda kale, iyo tan iyo Webiga iyo xataa dhulka darafyadiisa.
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.
Oo weliba adigana dhiiggii axdigaaga daraaddiis maxaabiistaadii waan ka soo bixiyey godkii aan biyuhu ku jirin.
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 noqda qalcadda, maxaabiistiinna rajada lahow, maantadan ayaan caddaynayaa inaan laba jibbaar idin siinayo.
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.”
Waayo, dadka Yahuudah sida qaanso baan u xootay, oo reer Efrayim sida fallaadh oo kale ayaan qaansadii u gashaday. Siyoonay, wiilashaada waan kicin doonaa, Gariigow, iyagaan ku kicin doonaa wiilashaada, oo waxaan kaaga dhigi doonaa sida seef nin xoog badanu haysto.
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.
Oo Rabbigiina waa lagu arki doonaa korkooda, oo fallaadhihiisuna waa u soo bixi doonaan sida hillaac. Oo Sayidka Rabbiga ahu buunkuu afuufi doonaa, oo wuxuu raaci doonaa dabaylo cirwareen ah ee koonfureed.
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.
Rabbiga ciidammada ayaa daafici doona iyaga, oo way baabbi'in doonaan, oo waxay ku tuman doonaan dhagaxyada wadhafka, oo khamri bay cabbi doonaan oo waxay u qaylin doonaan sida iyagoo sakhraansan, oo waxay u buuxsami doonaan sida maddiibado, iyo sida rukummada meesha allabariga.
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.
Oo wakhtigaas ayaa Rabbiga Ilaahooda ahu dadkiisa badbaadin doonaa sida iyagoo idihiisa ah, waayo, waxay ahaan doonaan sida dhagxan qaali ah oo taaj ku jira oo dalkiisa ka kor dhalaalaya.
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.
Barwaaqadiisu badanaa oo quruxdiisu weynaan badanaa! Barbaarrada hadhuudh baa barwaaqayn doonaa, gabdhahana khamri cusub baa barwaaqayn doona.
