Zechariah 8
1 And the word of the Lord of oostis was maad to me,
Dubbiin Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu ammas gara koo dhufe.
2 and seide, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Y hatide Sion with greet feruour, and with greet indignacioun Y hatide it.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani Xiyooniif hinaaffaa guddaa qaba; hinaaffaa isheetiin guggubachaan jira.”
3 The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Y am turned ayen to Sion, and Y schal dwelle in the myddil of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem schal be clepid a citee of treuthe, and hil of the Lord schal be clepid an hil halewid.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani Xiyoonitti deebiʼee Yerusaalem keessa nan jiraadha. Yerusaalemis Magaalaa Dhugaa jedhamti; tulluun Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuus Tulluu Qulqulluu jedhamee ni waamama.”
4 The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Yit elde men and elde wymmen schulen dwelle in the stretis of Jerusalem, and the staf of man in his hond, for the multitude of yeeris.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ammas yeroo tokko jaarsolii fi jaartoliin daandii Yerusaalem irra ni tataaʼu; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii sababii dulluma isaaniitiif ulee harkatti qabatu.
5 And the stretis of the cite schulen be fillid with `yonge children and maidens, pleiynge in the stretis `of it.
Daandiin magaalattii ijoollee dhiiraa fi durbaa kanneen achi taphataniin ni guutama.”
6 The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Though it schal be seyn hard bifor the iyen of relifs of this puple in tho daies, whether bifor myn iyen it schal be hard, seith the Lord of oostis?
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Yeroo sanatti wanni kun hambaa saba kanaatiif dinqii taʼu dandaʼa; anaaf garuu kun dinqii taʼuu dandaʼaa?” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
7 The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal saue my puple fro the lond of the eest, and fro lond of goynge doun of the sunne;
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani biyyoota baʼa biiftuutii fi lixa biiftuu keessaa saba koo nan baasa.
8 and Y schal brynge hem, and thei schulen dwelle in the myddil of Jerusalem; and thei schulen be to me in to a puple, and Y schal be to hem in to God, and in treuthe, and in riytwisnesse.
Ani akka isaan Yerusaalem keessa jiraataniif isaan nan deebisa; isaan saba koo ni taʼu; anis dhugaa fi qajeelummaadhaan Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.”
9 The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Be youre hondis coumfortid, whiche heren in these daies these wordis bi the mouth of profetis, in the dai in which the hous of the Lord of oostis is foundid, that the temple schulde be bildid.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Isin warri amma dubbii raajonni yeroo hundeen mana Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu buufametti achi turan dubbatan kana dhageessan, akka manni qulqullummaa ijaaramuuf irreen keessan haa jabaatu.
10 Sotheli bifore tho daies hire of men was not, nether hire of werk beestis was, nether to man entrynge and goynge out was pees for tribulacioun; and Y lefte alle men, ech ayens his neiybore.
Yeroo sanaan dura mindaan tokko iyyuu namaaf yookaan horiif hin baafamu turre. Namni tokko iyyuu sababii diina isaatiif nagaadhaan hojii isaatiif baʼee hin galu ture; ani nama hunda walitti kaaseen tureetii.
11 But now not after the formere daies Y schal do to relifs of this puple, seith the Lord of oostis,
Garuu ani amma akkan duraan hojjedhe sana hambaa saba kanaatti hin hojjedhu” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
12 but seed of pees schal be; vyneyerd schal yyue his fruyt, and erthe schal yyue his buriownyng, and heuenes schulen yyue her dew; and Y schal make the relifs of this puple for to welde alle these thingis.
“Sanyiin akka gaarii biqila; mukni wayiniis ija naqata; lafti midhaan kenniti; samiiwwanis fixeensa isaanii coccobsu. Ani waan kana hunda dhaala godhee hambaa saba kanaatiif nan kenna.
13 And it schal be, as the hous of Juda and hous of Israel weren cursyng in hethene men, so Y schal saue you, and ye schulen be blessyng. Nyle ye drede, be youre hondis coumfortid;
Yaa Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel akkuma isin saboota gidduutti waan abaarsaa turtan sana, ani isin baasee akka isin eebba taatan nan godha. Harki keessan haa jabaatuu malee hin sodaatinaa.”
14 for the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, As Y thouyte for to turmente you, whanne youre fadris hadden terrid me to wraththe,
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani akkuma gaafa abbootiin keessan na aarsanitti balaa isinitti fiduu yaadee isinii naʼuu dide sana” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu;
15 seith the Lord, and Y hadde not merci, so Y conuertid thouyte in these daies for to do wel to the hous of Juda and Jerusalem; nyle ye drede.
“Kanaafuu ani amma Yerusaalemii fi Yihuudaaf waan gaarii hojjechuu murteesseera. Isin hin sodaatinaa.
16 Therfor these ben the wordis whiche ye schulen do; speke ye treuthe, ech man with his neiybore; deme ye treuthe and dom of pees in youre yatis;
Wanni isin gochuu qabdan kana: Dhugaa walitti dubbadhaa; karra keessan duratti murtii dhugaa fi nagaa kennaa;
17 and thenke ye not in youre hertis, ony man yuel ayens his frend, and loue ye not a fals ooth; for alle thes thingis it ben, whiche Y hate, seith the Lord.
ollaa keessanitti waan hamaa hin malinaa; sobaan kakachuu illee hin jaalatinaa. Ani waan kana hunda nan jibbaa” jedha Waaqayyo.
18 And the word of the Lord of oostis was maad to me,
Ammas dubbiin Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu gara koo dhufe.
19 and seide, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Fastyng of the fourthe monethe, `and fastyng of the fyuethe, and fastyng of the seuenthe, and fasting of the tenthe, schal be to the hous of Juda in to ioie and gladnes, and in to solempnitees ful cleer; loue ye oneli treuthe and pees.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Soomni jiʼa afuraffaa, shanaffaa, torbaffaa fi kurnaffaa Yihuudaaf yeroo gammachuu fi ililchuu, akkasumas yeroo ayyaana gammachuu taʼa. Kanaafuu dhugaa fi nagaa jaalladhaa.”
20 The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Puplis schulen come on ech side, and dwelle in many citees;
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Uummanni hedduunii fi jiraattonni magaalaa hedduun ammas ni dhufu;
21 and the dwelleris schulen go, oon to an other, and seie, Go we, and biseche the face of the Lord, and seke we the Lord of oostis; also I shal go.
jiraattonni magaalaa tokkoo gara magaalaa biraa dhaqanii, ‘Kottaa mee Waaqayyo kadhachuu fi Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu barbaadachuuf dafnee haa deemnu. Ani mataan koo iyyuu nan deema’ jedhu.
22 And many puplis schulen come, and strong folkis, for to seke the Lord of oostis in Jerusalem, and for to biseche the face of the Lord.
Uummanni baayʼeenii fi saboonni humna qabeeyyiin Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu barbaadachuu fi isa kadhachuuf gara Yerusaalem ni dhufu.”
23 The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, In tho daies, in whiche ten men of alle langagis of hethene men schulen catche, and thei schulen catche the hemme of a man Jew, and seye, We schulen go with you; for we han herd, that God is with you.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Bara sana keessa afaanii fi saba hunda keessaa namoonni kudhan dhufanii handaara wandaboo namicha Yihuudii tokkoo qabatanii, ‘Nu akka Waaqni isin wajjin jiru waan dhageenyeef, si wajjin haa deemnu’ jedhuun.”
