< Zechariah 9 >

1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] the rest of it: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] towards the LORD.
Okwu Amụma. Nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị megide ala Hadrak, na obodo Damaskọs ka ọ ga-ezukwa ike, nʼihi nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ ka anya mmadụ niile na ebo niile nke Izrel dị.
2 And Hamath also shall border by it; Tyre and Zidon, though it be very wise.
Otu ahụkwa ka ọ dị Hamat, nke dị ya nso; tinyekwara Taịa na Saịdọn, ọ bụ ezie na ha bụ ndị maara ihe nke ukwu.
3 And Tyre built herself a strong hold, and amassed silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Taịa ewuolara onwe ya ebe e wusiri ike, tụkọba ọlaọcha dịka aja, na ọlaedo dịka uzuzu nke okporoụzọ.
4 Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-anapụ ya ihe niile o nwere ọ ga-atụnye ike ya nʼoke osimiri, ọ ga-ejikwa ọkụ repịa ya.
5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gaza also [shall see it], and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Ashkelọn ga-ejupụta nʼụjọ mgbe ọ ga-ahụ ihe ndị a ka ha na-eme. Gaza kwa, ga-aṅagharị onwe ya nʼime oke ihe mgbu. Ọ bụladị Ekrọn ga-ama jijiji nʼụjọ mgbe ha hụrụ na olileanya ha agwụla. A ga-anapụ Gaza eze ya ma gbukwaa ya. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-ebikwa nʼAshkelọn.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Ụmụ amụtara nʼịkwa iko ga-ebichi obodo Ashdọd, aga m emekwa ka mpako ndị Filistia ndị a kwụsị.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, [shall be] for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Aga m wezuga ọbara niile site nʼọnụ ha, wezugakwa ihe rụrụ arụ niile site nʼetiti eze ya. Ndị niile fọdụrụ ga-abụ ndị nke Chineke anyị, ha ga-adị ka otu agbụrụ na Juda. Ekrọn ga-adịkwa ka ndị Jebus.
8 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with my eyes.
Aga m echebe ụlọ m dịka onye nche, ka ndị iro ghara ịbata na ya. Ndị mkpagbu agaghị emerikwa ndị m ọzọ nʼagha, nʼihi na anọ m na nche ugbu a.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh to thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Ṅụrịa ọṅụ nke ukwuu, gị Ada Zayọn! Tie mkpu ọṅụ, gị Ada Jerusalem! Nʼihi na lee, eze gị na-abịakwute gị, onye ezi omume na onye nwere mmeri, onye ewedara nʼala, nke na-anọkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu, ọ bụladị nʼelu nwa ịnyịnya ibu, nwa ịnyịnya na-ebu ibu.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle-bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace to the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
Ọ ga-ewezuga ụgbọ ịnyịnya niile nke Ifrem, na ịnyịnya agha niile nke Jerusalem; a ga-agbajikwa ụta agha. Ọ ga-ewetara mba niile udo, ọchịchị ya ga-esite nʼotu oke osimiri ruo nʼosimiri nke ọzọ, sitekwa nʼOsimiri Yufretis ruo na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit in which [is] no water.
Ma gị onwe gị kwa, aga m eme ka ndị a tụrụ mkpọrọ nʼolulu nke mmiri na-adịghị nwere onwe ha, nʼihi ọbara nke ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ mụ na unu gbara.
12 Turn ye to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare [that] I will render double to thee;
Lọghachinụ nʼebe unu niile e wusiri ike, unu bụ ndị mkpọrọ nwere olileanya. Ọ bụladị taa, ana m ekwupụta ya na m ga-eme ka unu lọta, gọziekwa unu okpukpu abụọ.
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
Aga m agbagọ Juda dịka m si ekwe ụta m, tinye Ifrem dịka àkụ. Aga m akwali ụmụ gị ndị ikom, gị Zayọn, ka ha megide ụmụ ndị ikom ndị Griis. Aga m eme gị ka ị dịrị ka mma agha dị nʼaka dike nʼagha.
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-egosi onwe ya nʼebe dị elu karịa ha, àkụ ya ga-efekwa dịka amụma. Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-afụ opi ike, ọ ga-azọkwa ije nʼoke ifufe nke si na ndịda.
15 The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners of the altar.
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-echebe ha. Ha ga-ebibi, zọdakwa nkume ịtụ iche nʼebe niile. Ha ga-aṅụ ihe ọṅụṅụ mekwa mkpọtụ site na mmanya; ha ga-ejupụta dịka efere, dịka efere eji efesa ihe nʼakụkụ niile ebe a na-achụ aja na-ejupụta.
16 And the LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people: for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
Mgbe ụbọchị ahụ bịara, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha ga-azọpụta ndị ya, dịka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ si azọpụta igwe ewu na atụrụ ya. Ha ga-acha, na-egbuke nʼala ya, dịka nkume dị oke ọnụahịa e tinyere nʼokpueze si na-egbuke.
17 For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
Nʼezie, lee ka ịdị mma nke ala ahụ si dị ukwuu! Leekwa ka ịma mma ya si dị ukwuu! Mkpụrụ ubi ga-eme ka ụmụ okorobịa tozuo oke nke ọma, mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ ga-emekwa ka ụmụ agbọghọ doo ahụ.
