< Zechariah 9 >

1 “This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning the land of Hadrak and Damascus, its resting place; for the eyes of all humanity and all the tribes of Israel are toward Yahweh.
Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh maipapan iti daga ti Hadrac ken Damasco. Ta sikikita ni Yahweh kadagiti amin a tattao, ken kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel.
2 This declaration also concerns Hamath, which borders on Damascus, and it concerns Tyre and Sidon, for they are very wise.
Daytoy a pakaammo ket maipapan pay iti Hamat, a nagpatingga iti Damasco, ken maipapan daytoy iti Tiro ken Sidon, uray no ipagarupda a nasiribda unay.
3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver like dust and refined gold like mud in the streets.
Nangbangon ti Tiro iti sarikedked ken nagurnong iti pirak a kasla tapok ken nangpapuro iti balitok a kasla pitak kadagiti kalsada.
4 Look! The Lord will dispossess her and destroy her strength on the sea, so she will be devoured by fire.
Ngem alaento ti Apo dagiti amin a sanikuana ken dadaelennanto ti pakirangetna nga adda iti baybay, isu a mauramto daytoy iti apuy.
5 Ashkelon will see and be afraid! Gaza also will tremble greatly! Ekron, her hopes will be disappointed! The king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall no longer be inhabited!
Makitanto daytoy ti Askelon ket agbutengda! Agtigergerto met iti kasta unay ti Gaza! Maupayto ti Ekron! Mapukawto ti ari ti Gaza, ket saanton a mapagnaedan ti Askelon!
6 Strangers will make their homes in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Kuna ni Yahweh, “Agaramidto dagiti ganggannaet kadagiti pagtaenganda idiay Asdod, ket ikkatekto ti kinatangsit dagiti Filisteo.
7 For I will remove their blood from their mouths and their abominations from between their teeth. Then they will become a remnant for our God like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will become like the Jebusites.
Ta saankonto idan a pagsidaen iti karne nga adda pay laeng darana ken paritak ida a mangan iti taraon nga indatonda kadagiti didiosen.” Kalpasanna, dagiti matda ket mailasindanto a para iti Diostayo a kasla maysa a puli idiay Juda, ken agbalinto ti Ekron a kas kadagiti Jebuseo.
8 I will camp around my land against enemy armies, so no one can pass through or return, for no oppressor will overrun them, for now I see with my own eyes!
Kuna ni Yahweh, “Salaknibakto ti dagak iti armada dagiti kabusor tapno awan ti makalasat wenno makasubli, ta awanton a pulos ti mangparigat iti daytoy. Ta iti dayta a tiempo, wanawanakto a mismo ti dagak!
9 Shout with great joy, daughter of Zion! Shout with happiness, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold! Your king is coming to you with righteousness and is rescuing you. He is humble and is riding on a donkey, on the colt of a donkey.
Agpukkawka a sirarag-o, anak a babai ti Sion! Agpukkawka a siraragsak, anak a babai ti Jerusalem! Adtoy! Umayen kenka ti arim a nalinteg ket ispalennaka. Napakumbaba isuna ken nakasakay iti asno, iti urbon nga asno.
10 Then I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow will be cut off from battle; for he will speak peace to the nations, and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!
Kalpasanna, ikkatekto ti karuahe iti Efraim ken ti kabalio iti Jerusalem, ken madadaelto ti bai a maus-usar a pakigubat; ta pagkakappiaennanto dagiti nasion, ken iturayannanto manipud iti baybay agingga iti sabali a baybay, ken manipud iti Karayan agingga iti pungto ti daga!
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the pit where there is no water.
Ket dakayo a tattao ti Israel—gapu iti dara a nangpasingked iti tulagko kadakayo—winawayawayaak dagiti baludyo manipud iti abut nga awan iti danumna.
12 Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! Even today I am declaring that I will return double to you,
Agsublikayo kadagiti sarikedked, dakayo a balud nga addaan namnama! Uray ita nga aldaw, ipakpakaammok nga isublikto kadakayo iti mamindua a kaadu ti bendision ti amin a sinagabayo,
13 for I have bent Judah as my bow. I have filled my quiver with Ephraim. I have roused your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and have made you, Zion, like a warrior's sword!”
gapu ta inaramidko ti Juda a kas baik. Inaramidko ti Efraim a kas panak. Ipalubosko a gubaten dagiti annakmo a lallaki, O Sion, dagiti annakmo a lallaki, Grecia, ken pinagbalinka, Sion, a kasla kampilan ti mannakigubat!”
14 Yahweh will appear to them, and his arrows will shoot out like lightning! For my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet and will advance with the storms from Teman.
Agparangto ni Yahweh kadagiti tattaona, ket maibiatto dagiti panana a kasla iti kimat! Ta paguniento ni Yahweh nga Apok ti trumpeta ket magnanto a kakuyog dagiti bagio manipud iti Teman.
15 Yahweh of hosts will defend them, and they will devour them and defeat the stones of the slings. Then they will drink and shout like men drunk on wine, and they will be filled with wine like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
Salaknibanto ida ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, ket naan-anayto a parmeken dagiti tattao ti Juda dagiti kabusorda babaen kadagiti bato dagiti pallatibong. Ket aginum ken agpukkawdanto a kas iti lalaki a nabartek, ket mapnodanto iti arak a kasla kadagiti malukong iti altar, kasla kadagiti suli ti altar.
16 So Yahweh their God will rescue them on that day, as the flock of his people. They are the jewels of a crown that will shine on his land.
Isu nga iti dayta nga aldaw, ispalento ida ni Yahweh a Diosda; maiyarigdanto iti arban dagiti tattaona, ta kasladanto kadagiti alahas iti korona, nga agraniag iti dagana.
17 How good and how beautiful they will be! The young men will flourish on grain and the virgins on sweet wine!”
Anian a kinasayaat ken anian a kinapintasdanto! Pumigsanto dagiti agtutubo a lallaki iti pannanganda iti bukel ken dagiti birhen iti panagiumda iti nasam-it nga arak!
