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.

Ko e kikite, mo e folofola ʻa Sihova ki he fonua ko Hetaleke, mo Tamasikusi, ʻaia ʻe hoko ia ki ai: he ʻoku ʻafio ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova ki he tangata, pea mo e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.

2 And Hamath also shall border by it; Tyre and Zidon, though it be very wise.

Pea ʻe kau ai mo Hamati; ʻa Tala, mo Saitone foki, neongo ʻena poto lahi.

3 And Tyre built herself a strong hold, and amassed silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

Pea kuo langa ʻe Taia hono kolo mālohi, pea kuo ne tānaki ʻae siliva, ʻo hangē ko e efu, pea mo e koula lelei, ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻoe ngaahi hala.

4 Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

Vakai, ʻe lī ia kituʻa ʻe Sihova, pea te ne taaʻi ʻa hono mālohi ʻi tahi; pea ʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻe he afi.

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.

‌ʻE mamata ʻa ʻAsikeloni ki ai, pea te ne manavahē; ʻe sio foki ki ai ʻa Kesa, pea te ne mamahi ʻaupito, ʻa ia, pea mo Ekiloni; koeʻuhi ʻe fakamaaʻi ʻa ʻene ʻamanaki; pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae tuʻi mei Kesa, pea ʻe ʻikai kakai ʻa ʻAsikeloni.

6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

Pea ʻe nofo ʻae hako ʻoe muli ʻi ʻAsitoti, pea te u motuhi ʻae fielahiʻanga ʻoe kau Filisitia.

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.

Pea te u taʻofi ʻae toto mei hono ngutu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia mei hono vahaʻa nifo: ka ko ia ʻe toe ʻi ai, ʻio, ʻaia pe, te ne kau ki hotau ʻOtua, pea te ne hangē ko e pule ʻi Siuta, pea ʻe tatau ʻa Ekiloni mo e tangata Sepusi.

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.

Pea te u nofo takatakai ʻi hoku fale, koeʻuhi ko e kau tau, mo ia ʻoku ʻalu atu ai, pea koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku foki mai: pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻalu atu ai ha taha fakamālohi ʻo taʻengata: he ko eni, kuo u mamata ʻaki ʻa hoku mata ʻoʻoku.

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.

Ke ke fiefia lahi ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione; Kalanga ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema: vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho tuʻi kiate koe, ʻoku angalelei ia, pea ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae fakamoʻui; ʻoku ne angavaivai, pea ʻoku heka ki he ʻasi, mo e ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi.

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.

Pea te u motuhi ʻae saliote mei ʻIfalemi, mo e hoosi mei Selūsalema, pea ʻe motuhi mo e kaufana ki he tau; pea te ne lea ʻaki ʻae melino ki he hiteni; pea ko hono puleʻanga ʻe mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.

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.

Pea ko koe foki, koeʻuhi ko e toto ʻo hoʻo fuakava, kuo u tukuange ai hoʻo kau pōpula, mei he luo ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha vai.

12 Turn ye to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare [that] I will render double to thee;

Mou foki mai ki he hūfanga mālohi, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku pōpula ka e ʻamanaki lelei: ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou fakahā he ʻaho ni, te u totongi ke liunga ua kiate koe:

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.

‌ʻO kau ka teke ʻa Siuta maʻaku, mo ʻai ʻa ʻIfalemi ki he kaufana, pea u hakeakiʻi ho ngaahi foha, ʻe Saione, ke tuʻu, ʻe Kalisi, ki ho ngaahi foha ʻoʻou pea u ngaohi koe ke ke hangē ko e heletā ʻa ha tangata mālohi.

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.

Pea ʻe hā mai ʻoku ʻafio ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻe puna ʻene ngahau ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhila; pea ʻe ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua, pea te ne hāʻele ʻi he ʻahiohio mei he feituʻu tonga.

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.

‌ʻE maluʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; pea te nau fakaʻauha mo ikuna ʻaki ʻae maka ʻi he makatā; pea te nau inu, pea te nau longoaʻa ʻo hangē ko ha konā ʻi he uaine; pea te nau fonu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi kumete, ʻi he ngaahi tuliki ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

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.

Pea ʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo hangē ko ha fanga sipi, ʻa hono kakai: pea te nau hangē ko ha ngaahi maka mahuʻinga ʻi he tatā fakatuʻi, ʻoku hiki hake ko e fuka ʻi hono fonua.

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.

Koeʻuhi, vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene angaʻofa, mo hono lahi ʻo ʻene toulekeleka! ʻE fakafiefia ʻae kau talavou ʻe he koane, pea ko e kau finemui ʻe he uaine foʻou.
