< Zekaria 12 >
1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩkoniĩ Isiraeli. Jehova, ũrĩa watambũrũkirie igũrũ, na akĩhaanda gĩtina gĩa thĩ ĩno, o na akĩũmba roho thĩinĩ wa mũndũ, ekuuga ũũ:
The prophecy of the word of the Lord concerning Israel, Saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him:
2 “Nĩngũtua Jerusalemu ta gĩkombe kĩa ndibei gĩa gũtũma arĩa othe magũthiũrũrũkĩirie matũgũũge. Juda o ũndũ ũmwe na Jerusalemu nĩgũkarigiicĩrio nĩ thũ.
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of confusion unto all the people round about; and also against Judah, who will have to be at the siege against Jerusalem.
3 Mũthenya ũcio, rĩrĩa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ igaacookanĩrĩra irĩũkĩrĩre, nĩngatua Jerusalemu ihiga rĩtangĩenyenyeka kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe. Arĩa othe makaageria kũrĩenyenyia nĩmakeguraria mũno.
And it shall come to pass on that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the people; all that burden themselves with it shall be severely cut: yet then will be gathered together against it all the nations of the earth.
4 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngamakia mbarathi o yothe ĩhahũke, nake mũmĩhaici ndũme agũrũke,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩngarangĩra nyũmba ya Juda, no mbarathi ciothe cia ndũrĩrĩ ndĩcitue ndumumu.
On that day, saith the Lord, will I smite every horse with dizziness, and his rider with madness; but over the house of Judah will I open my eyes, while I will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo atongoria a Juda makeĩĩra na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ a Jerusalemu nĩmagĩte na hinya nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wao.’
And the chiefs of Judah will say in their heart, A strong support for me are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts their God.
6 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩngatũma atongoria a Juda mahaane ta nyũngũ ĩiyũrĩte mwaki ĩrĩ riiko, na ndũme mahaane ta gĩcinga gĩgwakana kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa itĩĩa cia ngano. Makaaniina andũ arĩa othe marĩthiũrũrũkĩirie mwena wa ũrĩo na mwena wa ũmotho, no rĩrĩ, andũ a Jerusalemu matigaakorwo na ũgwati o na hanini marĩ kũu Jerusalemu.
On that day will I make the chiefs of Judah like a fire-hearth among the wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the people round about; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 “Jehova akaamba kũhonokia andũ arĩa matũũraga Juda, nĩgeetha gĩtĩĩo kĩa nyũmba ya Daudi na kĩa aikari a Jerusalemu gĩtikananenehe gũkĩra kĩa andũ a Juda.
The Lord also will save the tents of Judah first: in order that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become boastful over Judah.
8 Mũthenya ũcio Jehova nĩakagitĩra andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu, nĩgeetha arĩa maagĩte hinya mũno gatagatĩ-inĩ kao makahaana ta Daudi, nayo nyũmba ya Daudi ĩkahaana o ta Ngai, ĩhaane ta mũraika wa Jehova amatongoretie.
On that day will the Lord be a shield around the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and the feeblest among them shall be on that day like David; and the house of David shall be like divine beings, like an angel of the Lord before them.
9 Mũthenya ũcio nĩngoimagara nganiine ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria igookĩrĩra itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that are come against Jerusalem.
10 “Na nĩngaitĩrĩria nyũmba ya Daudi na arĩa othe matũũraga itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu roho wa gũtugana na wagũthaithana. Nao nĩmakerorera ũrĩa maathecire, na nĩmakamũrĩrĩra marĩ na ruo o ta ũrĩa mũndũ arĩragĩra mwana wa mũmwe, na magĩe na kĩeha kĩnene o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ethikagĩra akuĩrĩirwo nĩ mwana wake wa irigithathi.
But I will pour out over the house of David, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they will look up toward me [for every one] whom they have thrust through, and they will lament for him, as one lamenteth for an only son, and weep bitterly for him, as one weepeth bitterly for the first-born.
11 Mũthenya ũcio nĩgũgakorwo kĩrĩro kĩnene kũu Jerusalemu, o ta kĩrĩro kĩrĩa kĩarĩ Hadadi-Rimoni o kũu werũ-inĩ wa Megido.
On that day will the lamentation be great in Jerusalem, like the lamentation at Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 Bũrũri ũcio nĩũkagĩa na kĩrĩro, o mbarĩ o mbarĩ ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki: mbarĩ ya nyũmba ya Daudi ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki na atumia ao marĩ oiki, mbarĩ ya nyũmba ya Nathani ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki,
And the land will mourn, every family apart by itself: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 na mbarĩ ya nyũmba ya Lawi ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki, mbarĩ ya Shimei ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki,
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shim'i apart, and their wives apart;
14 na mbarĩ icio ingĩ ciothe itigaire o mbarĩ o mbarĩ ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki.
All the families that remain, every family apart by itself, and their wives apart.
