Zechariah 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Tamin’ ny volana fahavalo tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Dariosa no nahatongavan’ ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Zakaria mpaminany, zanak’ i Berekia, zanak’ Ido, nanao hoe:
2 The LORD hath been greatly displeased with your fathers.
Tezitra indrindra tamin’ ny razanareo Jehovah.
3 Therefore say thou to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye to me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn to you, saith the LORD of hosts.
Koa lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Miverena amiko ianareo, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia mba hiverina ho aminareo kosa Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
4 Be ye not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and [from] your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken to me, saith the LORD.
Aza mba toy ny razanareo, izay nantsoin’ ny mpaminany fahiny hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Mialà amin’ ny lalanareo ratsy ianareo sy amin’ ny ratsy fanaonareo; nefa tsy nitandrina izy, na nihaino Ahy, hoy Jehovah.
5 Your fathers, where [are] they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
Ny razanareo ― aiza moa ireny izao? Ary ny mpaminany ― moa velona mandrakizay va ireny?
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, As the LORD of hosts thought to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
Fa ny teniko sy ny didiko, izay nandidiako ny mpaminany mpanompoko, tsy nahatratra ny razanareo va izany? Ary izy nitodika ka nanao hoe: Araka izay nosainin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, hatao amintsika, araka ny alehantsika sy ny ataontsika, dia araka izany no nataony tamintsika.
7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which [is] the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Tamin’ ny andro fahefatra amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana fahiraika ambin’ ny folo (volana Sebata izany) tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Dariosa dia tonga tamin i Zakaria mpaminany, zanak’ i Berekia, zanak’ Ido, ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao, hoe:
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that [were] in the bottom; and behind him [were there] red horses, speckled, and white.
Nahita tamin’ ny alina aho fa, indro, nisy lehilahy nitaingina soavaly mena ka nijanona teny amin’ ny rotra teny an-dohasaha, ary teo aoriany nisy soavaly mena sy mavo ary fotsy.
9 Then said I, O my LORD, what [are these]? And the angel that talked with me said to me, I will show thee what these [are].
Dia hoy izaho: Tompoko ô, inona moa ireo? Ary ilay anjely niresaka tamiko dia nanao tamiko hoe: Izaho haneho anao ny amin’ ireo.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These [are they] whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
Ary ralehilahy izay nijanona teny amin’ ny rotra dia namaly hoe: Ireo dia nirahin’ Jehovah hivoivoy eny amin’ ny tany.
11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
Ary namaly Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah nijanona teny amin’ ny rotra ireo ka nanao hoe: Efa nivoivoy teny amin’ ny tany izahay, ary, indro, ny tany rehetra dia miadana sy mandry fahizay.
12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years.
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah namaly hoe: He, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô! mandra-pahoviana no tsy hamindranao fo amin’ i Jerosalema sy amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda, izay efa nahatezitra Anao fito-polo taona izay.
13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me [with] good words [and] comforting words.
Dia novalian’ i Jehovah teny tsara sy mampionona ilay anjely niresaka tamiko.
14 So the angel that communed with me said to me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Ary ilay anjely niresaka tamiko dia nanao tamiko hoe: Miantsoa hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Saro-piaro dia saro-piaro an’ i Jerosalema sy Ziona Aho.
15 And I am very greatly displeased with the heathen [that are] at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
Ary tezitra indrindra Aho amin’ ireo firenena miadana; satria Izaho dia tezitra kely ihany, fa ireo kosa dia nampitombo ny fahoriana.
16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Efa tafaverina eto Jerosalema amin’ ny indrafo Aho; ny tranoko haorina eto, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ary ny famolaina hohenjanina eto Jerosalema.
17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Miantsoa indray hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hihoa-pampana ny fanambinana ny tanànako; ary Jehovah hampionona an’ i Ziona ary mbola hifidy an’ i Jerosalema indray.
18 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
Ary natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indreo, nisy tandroka efatra.
19 And I said to the angel that talked with me, What [are] these? And he answered me, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
Ary hoy izaho tamin’ ilay anjely niresaka tamiko: Inona moa ireo? Dia hoy izy tamiko: Ireo no tandroka izay nampihahaka ny Joda sy ny Isiraely ary Jerosalema.
20 And the LORD showed me four carpenters.
Ary dia nanehoan’ i Jehovah mpiasa efatra aho.
21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spoke, saying, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head: but these are come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted [their] horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Dia hoy izaho: Avy hanao inona moa ireto? Ary Izy nanao hoe: Ireo no tandroka nampihahaka ny Joda, ka tsy nisy olona nanandrandra loha; fa ireto kosa dia avy hampahatahotra azy mba hampiongana ny tandroky ny firenena, dia izay nanandratra ny tandrony tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda hanely azy.
