Zechariah 7
1 And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu.
In yac se akakosr ma Darius el Tokosra Fulat, in len se akakosr ke malem se akeu (malem in Kislev), LEUM GOD El ase nu sik sie kas in sulkakinyuk.
2 And Beth-El sendeth Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of Jehovah,
Mwet Bethel elos supwal Sharezer, Regemmelech ac mwet mukul sayalos, in som nu in Tempul lun LEUM GOD Kulana, in pre ke akinsewowo lun LEUM GOD
3 speaking unto the priests who [are] at the house of Jehovah of Hosts, and unto the prophets, saying, 'Do I weep in the fifth month — being separated — as I have done these so many years?'
ac in siyuk sin mwet tol ac mwet palu mwe siyuk se inge; “Ya kut enenu in srakna orek asor ke musalla lun Tempul, ac lalo ke malem se aklimekosr, oana kut muta oru ke yac puspis nwe inge uh?”
4 And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts unto me, saying:
Ac pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD ma tuku nu sik.
5 'Speak unto all the people of the land, and unto the priests, saying:
El fahk, “Fahkang nu sin mwet in facl se inge ac mwet tol, lah ke pacl ma elos lalo ac tung ke malem aklimekosr ac akitkosr ke pulan yac itngoul inge, elos tia oru in akfulatyeyu.
6 When ye fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh [months] — even these seventy years — did ye keep the fast [to] Me — Me? And when ye eat, and when ye drink, is it not ye who are eating, and ye who are drinking?
Ac ke pacl se ma elos mongo ac nim uh, elos oru na nu ke lungse lalos sifacna.”
7 'Are not [these] the words that Jehovah proclaimed by the hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem's being inhabited, and [in] safety, and its cities round about it, and the south and the plain — abiding?'
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sin mwet palu meet ah, ke pacl se Jerusalem tuh yohk kasrup la ac sessesla ke mwet, ac ke pacl se ma pukanten mwet tuh muta, tia in acn ma rauneak siti ah mukena, a oayapa ke tafunyen eir ac pe eol layen nu roto ah.
8 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Zechariah, saying:
LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel Zechariah:
9 'Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: True judgment judge ye, And kindness and mercy do one with another.
“Pacl loes somla nga tuh sang sap soko inge nu sin mwet luk: ‘Kowos in liyaung tuh nununku suwohs in orek, ac tuh kowos in kulang ac pakoten nu sin sie sin sie.
10 And widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, ye do not oppress, And the calamity of one another ye do not devise in your heart.
Nimet kowos akkemkatuye katinmas, tulik mukaimtal, mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos, ku kutena mwet su enenu. Ac nimet suk inkanek in akkeokye sie sin sie.’
11 And they refuse to attend, And they give a refractory shoulder, And their ears have made heavy against hearing.
“Tusruktu mwet luk elos likkekelana ac tia lungse porongo. Elos kaliya nunak lalos
12 And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the law, and the words, That Jehovah of Hosts sent by His Spirit, By the hand of the former prophets, And their is great wrath from Jehovah of Hosts.
ac akupaye insialos in keke oana eot uh. Mweyen elos tia lohng kas in luti su nga supu sin mwet palu su tuh muta in pacl meet ah, ma inge arulana akkasrkusrakyeyu.
13 And it cometh to pass, as He called, And they have not hearkened, So do they call, and I do not hearken, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
Ke sripen elos tuh tia lipsre ke pacl nga kaskas uh, oru nga tia pacna topkolos ke pacl elos pre uh.
14 And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not known, The land hath been desolate behind them, Of any passing by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a desolation!
Nga pokolosla oana sie paka, tuh elos in muta fin acn lun mwet saya. Acn na wowo se inge tuh filfillana oan, wanginna mwet muta fac.”
