Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month of the second year of Darius' reign, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Niheo amy Zekarià mpitoky ana’ i Berekià ana’Idò amy volam-paha-valo’ i taom-paha-roe’ i Dariavese mpanjakaiy ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
2 “Yahweh was exceedingly angry with your fathers!
Niviñetse aman-droae’ areo t’Iehovà.
3 Say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: Turn to me!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts— and I will return to you, says Yahweh of hosts.
Aa le isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mimpolia amako, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho himpoliako ka, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
4 Do not be like your fathers to whom the prophets cried out previously, saying, “Yahweh of hosts says this: Turn from your evil ways and wicked practices!” But they would not hear and did not pay attention to me—this is Yahweh's declaration.'
Ko mitsikombe an-droae’ areo, o nitseize’ o mpitoky taoloo ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mifotera amo sata rati’ areoo henane zao, naho amo fitoloña’ areo ratio; f’ie tsy nijanjiñe, tsy nañaoñe ahy, hoe t’Iehovà.
5 Your fathers, where are they? Where are the prophets, are they here forever?
O roae’ areoo! aia iereo? naho o mpitokio, veloñe nainai’e hao?
6 But my words and my decrees that I commanded my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? So they repented and said, 'Just as Yahweh of hosts planned to do to us what our ways and actions deserved, so he has dealt with us.'”
Fa o volakoo naho o fañèko nafantoko amo mpitoky mpitorokoo, tsy ie hao ty nahatakatse o roae’ areoo? ie nitolike nanao ty hoe: Toe i nisafirie’ Iehovà’ i Màroy hanoañe ty amo sata’aio naho o fitoloña’aio izay, ty nafetsake ama’ay.
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius' reign, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Ie amy andro faha-roapolo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-paha-folo-raik’ambiy, i volan-katsiha an-taom-paha-roe’ i Dariavesey, le niheo amy Zekarià mpitoky ana’ i Berekià, ana’ Idò ty tsara i’ Iehovà, manao ty hoe:
8 “I saw in the night, and, look! a man was riding on a red horse, and he was among the myrtle trees that are in the valley; and behind him there were red, reddish-brown, and white horses.”
Niaroñaroñeko amy haleñey, te ingo t’indaty niningitse soavala mena, nijohañe ambane’ ty borodoke an-goledoñe ao, naho amboho’e ty soavala mena naho ty mavo naho ty foty.
9 I said, “What are these things, Lord?” Then the angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what these things are.”
Le hoe iraho, Hoke ry Talè, Inoñe o reroañeo? Aa hoe i ìrake nisaontsy amakoy, Hatoroko azo ty lengo’ iretoañe.
10 Then the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are those Yahweh has sent out to roam throughout the earth.”
Nanoiñe amy zao indaty nijohañe amo borodokeoy, ami’ty hoe: Ie o nirahe’ Iehovà hañavelo mb’eo mb’eo an-tane atoio.
11 They answered the angel of Yahweh who stood among the myrtle trees; they said to him, “We have been roaming throughout the earth; see, all the earth sits still and is at rest.”
Vinale’ iareo ty anjeli’ Iehovà nijohañe amo borodokeo ami’ty hoe: Nanjotike mb’eo mb’eo amy taney zahay, le ingo, mipendreñe i taney vaho mitofa.
12 Then the angel of Yahweh answered and said, “Yahweh of hosts, how long will you show no compassion to Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years?”
Nanoiñe amy zao ty anjeli’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, ombia te ho ferenaiñeñe t’Ierosalaime naho o rova’ Iehodao, o nitorifiha’o i fitompolo taoñe rezaio?
13 Yahweh answered the angel who had talked with me, with good words, words of comfort.
Tinoi’Iehovà tsara soa i anjely nisaontsy amakoy, tsaran-kanintsiñe.
14 So the angel who had talked with me said to me, “Call out and say, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: I have been jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great passion!
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, taroño ty hoe, Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; farahieko t’Ierosalaime naho i Tsione am-parahy ra’elahy.
15 I am very angry with the nations that are at ease. When I was only a little angry with them, they made the disaster worse.
Loho nahabosek’ ahy o kilakila’ondaty miaiñañoleñañeo; ie ni-bosebosehako avao, fe nindràe’ iareo i hasilofeñey.
16 Therefore Yahweh of hosts says this: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies. My house will be built within her —this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—and the measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem!'
Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Mimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime am-piferenaiñan-draho; haoreko ao i kivohokoy, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho ho kozozoteñe am’ Ierosalaime ty taly.
17 Again call out, saying, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: My cities will once again overflow with goodness, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and he will once again choose Jerusalem.'”
Taroño indraike, ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Hitòbake havokarañe indraike i rovakoy; naho mbe ho tretreze’ Iehovà t’i Tsione, vaho mbe ho joboñe’e t’Ierosalaime.
18 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw four horns!
Nampiandraeko maso le nahatrea te ingo ty tsifa efatse.
19 I spoke to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” He answered me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
Le hoe iraho amy anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, Inoñ’ o raha zaoo? Le hoe re amako: I tsifa nampiparaitake Iehoda naho Israele vaho Ierosalaime rey.
20 Then Yahweh showed me four craftsmen.
Natoro’ Iehovà ahy ty mpandranjy efatse.
21 I said, “What are these people coming to do?” He answered, and said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no man would lift up his head. But the blacksmiths have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations that lifted up a horn against the land of Judah to scatter her.”
Le hoe ty asako: Hitoloñe inoñe t’ie nitotsak’ atoy? Le hoe ty tinaro’e: O tsifa retiañe ty nampivarakaike Iehoda kanao leo ondaty raike tsy nahaongake ty añambone’e; le nivotrak’ atoy i retiañe hañembañe iareo naho handretsake o tsifa’ o kilakila’ ondaty nampitroatse ty tsifa’e an-tane’ Iehoda hampiparatsàke azeo.
