Zechariah 12
1 The burden of a word of Jehovah on Israel. An affirmation of Jehovah, Stretching out heaven, and founding earth, And forming the spirit of man in his midst.
Uthenga wa Yehova kwa Israeli. Yehova, amene amayala mlengalenga, amene amayika maziko a dziko lapansi, ndiponso amene amalenga mzimu wokhala mwa munthu, akunena kuti,
2 Lo, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling To all the peoples round about, And also against Judah it is, In the siege against Jerusalem.
“Taonani, ndidzasandutsa Yerusalemu kukhala chakumwa choledzeretsa chimene chidzasokoneza mitundu yonse ya anthu yomuzungulira. Yuda adzazingidwa pamodzinso ndi Yerusalemu.
3 And it hath come to pass, in that day, I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth.
Pa tsiku limenelo, pamene mitundu yonse ya anthu a dziko lapansi idzasonkhana kulimbana naye, ndidzasandutsa Yerusalemu thanthwe losatheka kusunthidwa ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu. Onse oyesa kumusuntha adzadzipweteka.
4 In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, I do smite every horse with astonishment, And its rider with madness, And on the house of Judah I open My eyes, And every horse of the peoples I smite with blindness.
Pa tsiku limenelo kavalo aliyense ndidzamuchititsa mantha kuti asokonezeke, ndipo wokwerapo wake ndidzamuchititsa misala,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzayangʼanira nyumba ya Yuda koma ndidzachititsa khungu akavalo onse a anthu a mitundu ina.
5 And leaders of Judah have said in their heart, 'Strength to me [are] the inhabitants of Jerusalem, In Jehovah of Hosts their God.'
Pamenepo atsogoleri a Yuda adzayankhula mʼmitima mwawo kuti, ‘Anthu a ku Yerusalemu ndi amphamvu, chifukwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndiye Mulungu wawo.’
6 In that day I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have consumed — on the right and on the left — all the peoples round about, And Jerusalem hath inhabited again her place in Jerusalem.
“Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzasandutsa atsogoleri a Yuda kukhala ngati mbawula yotentha pakati pa nkhuni, ngati sakali yoyaka pa mitolo ya tirigu. Adzatentha mitundu yonse ya anthu yowazungulira, kumanja ndi kumanzere, koma Yerusalemu sadzasuntha pa malo ake.
7 And saved hath Jehovah the tents of Judah first, So that become not great against Judah Doth the beauty of the house of David, And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem.
“Yehova adzapulumutsa malo okhala Yuda poyamba, kuti ulemu wa nyumba ya Davide ndi wa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu usapambane ulemu wa Yuda.
8 In that day cover over doth Jehovah the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them hath been in that day as David, And the house of David as God — As a messenger of Jehovah — before them.
Pa tsiku limenelo Yehova adzatchinjiriza onse okhala mu Yerusalemu, kotero kuti anthu ofowoka kwambiri pakati pawo adzakhala ngati Davide, ndipo nyumba ya Davide idzakhala ngati Mulungu, ngati mngelo wa Yehova wowatsogolera.
9 And it hath come to pass, in that day, I seek to destroy all the nations Who are coming in against Jerusalem,
Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzawononga mitundu yonse yofuna kuthira nkhondo Yerusalemu.
10 And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, A spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked unto Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over it, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for it, Like a bitterness over the first-born.
“Ndipo pa nyumba ya Davide ndi pa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu ndidzakhuthulirapo mzimu wachisomo ndi wopemphera. Iwo adzandiyangʼana Ine, amene anamubaya, ndipo adzamulirira kwambiri monga momwe munthu amalirira mwana wake mmodzi yekhayo, ndiponso adzamva chisoni kwambiri monga momwe amachitira ndi mwana woyamba kubadwa.
11 In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon,
Pa tsiku limenelo mudzakhala kulira kwakukulu mu Yerusalemu, monga kulira kwa ku Hadadi-Rimoni ku chigwa cha Megido.
12 And mourned hath the land — every family apart, The family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women apart;
Dziko lidzalira kwambiri, fuko lililonse pa lokha, akazi awo pa okhanso: fuko la Davide pamodzi ndi akazi awo, fuko la Natani pamodzi ndi akazi awo,
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, And their women apart; The family of Shimei apart, And their women apart,
nyumba ya Levi pamodzi ndi akazi awo, fuko la Simei pamodzi ndi akazi awo,
14 All the families that are left, Every family apart, and their women apart!
ndiponso mafuko onse pamodzi ndi akazi awo.
