< Zechariah 12 >

1 This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning Israel—a declaration of Yahweh, who stretched out the skies and laid the foundation of the earth, who fashions the spirit of mankind within man,
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀. Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa fún Israẹli ni. Olúwa wí, ẹni tí ó na àwọn ọ̀run, tí ó sì fi ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, tí ó sì da ẹ̀mí ènìyàn tí ń bẹ ni inú rẹ̀,
2 “See, I am about to make Jerusalem into a cup causing all the peoples surrounding her to stagger about. It will also be like that for Judah during the siege against Jerusalem.
“Kíyèsi í, èmi yóò sọ Jerusalẹmu dí àgọ́ ìwárìrì sí gbogbo ènìyàn yíká, nígbà tí wọn yóò dó ti Juda àti Jerusalẹmu.
3 On that day, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. Anyone trying to lift that stone will hurt himself very much, and all the nations of the earth will gather against that city.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, nígbà tí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ayé bá parapọ̀ sí i, ni èmi yóò sọ Jerusalẹmu di òkúta ti ko ṣe yí kúrò fún gbogbo ènìyàn, gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá sì fẹ́ yí i ni a ó gé sí wẹ́wẹ́,
4 On that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will strike every horse with confusion and its rider with madness. Over the house of Judah I will open my eyes, but every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness.
ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ni èmi yóò fi ìdágìrì lu gbogbo ẹṣin, àti fi òmùgọ̀ kọlu ẹni tí ń gun un; èmi yóò sì ṣí ojú mi sí ilé Juda, èmi yóò sì bu ìfọ́jú lu gbogbo ẹṣin tí orílẹ̀-èdè.
5 Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are our strength because of Yahweh of hosts, their God.'
Àti àwọn baálẹ̀ Juda yóò sì wí ni ọkàn wọn pé, ‘Àwọn ara Jerusalẹmu ni agbára mi nípa Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni Ọlọ́run wọn.’
6 On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like firepots among wood and like a flaming torch among standing grain, for they will consume all the surrounding peoples on their right and on their left. Jerusalem will again live in her own place.”
“Ní ọjọ́ náà, ni èmi yóò ṣe àwọn baálẹ̀ Juda bí ààrò iná kan láàrín igi, àti bi ẹ̀fúùfù iná láàrín ìtí; wọn yóò sì jẹ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn run yíká lápá ọ̀tún àti lápá òsì, a ó sì tún máa gbé inú Jerusalẹmu ní ipò rẹ̀.
7 Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and the honor of those who live in Jerusalem may not be greater than the rest of Judah.
“Olúwa pẹ̀lú yóò kọ́ tètè gba àgọ́ Juda là ná, kí ògo ilé Dafidi àti ògo àwọn ara Jerusalẹmu má ba gbé ara wọn ga sí Juda.
8 On that day Yahweh will be the defender of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on that day those who are weak among them will be like David, while the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh in front of them.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Olúwa yóò dáàbò bò àwọn tí ń gbé Jerusalẹmu; ẹni tí ó bá sì ṣe àìlera nínú wọn ní ọjọ́ náà, yóò dàbí Dafidi; ilé Dafidi yóò sì dàbí Ọlọ́run, bí angẹli Olúwa níwájú wọn.
9 “On that day that I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Yóò sì ṣe ni ọjọ́ náà, èmi yóò wá láti pa gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè run tí ó wá kọjú ìjà sí Jerusalẹmu.”
10 But I will pour out a spirit of compassion and pleading on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so they will look on me, the one they have pierced. They will mourn for me, as one mourns for an only son; they will bitterly lament for him like those who lament the death of a firstborn son.
“Èmi ó sì tu ẹ̀mí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ sórí ilé Dafidi àti sórí Jerusalẹmu, wọn ó sì máa wo ẹni tí wọn tí gún ni ọ̀kọ̀, wọn ó sì máa ṣọ̀fọ̀ rẹ̀, bí ẹnìkan ti ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún ọmọ rẹ̀ kan ṣoṣo àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn tí wọn yóò sì wà ni ìbànújẹ́, bí ẹni tí ń banújẹ́ fún àkọ́bí rẹ̀.
11 On that day the laments in Jerusalem will be like the laments at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni ẹkún, ńlá ńlá yóò wà ni Jerusalẹmu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀fọ̀ Hadadi Rimoni ni àfonífojì Megido.
12 The land will mourn, each clan separate from other clans. The clan of the house of David will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the house of Nathan will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.
Ilẹ̀ náà yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀, ìdílé, kọ̀ọ̀kan fun ara rẹ, lọ́tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀; ìdílé Dafidi lọ́tọ̀; àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ̀; ìdílé Natani lọ́tọ̀, àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ́.
13 The clan of the house of Levi will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the Shimeites will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.
Ìdílé Lefi lọ́tọ̀, àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ̀; ìdílé Ṣimei lọ́tọ̀, àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ̀.
14 Every clan of the remaining clans—each clan will be separate and the wives will be separate from the men.”
Gbogbo àwọn ìdílé tí o kù, ìdílé, ìdílé, lọ́tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀, àti àwọn aya wọn lọ́tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀.
