Zakariya 7
1 A shekara ta huɗu ta Sarki Dariyus, maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Zakariya a rana ta huɗu ta watan tara, wato, watan Kisleb.
And in the fourth yeere of King Darius, the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth moneth, euen in Chisleu,
2 Mutanen Betel sun aika Sharezer da Regem-Melek, tare da mutanensu su nemi tagomashin Ubangiji
For they had sent vnto the House of God Sharezer, and Regem-melech and their men to pray before the Lord,
3 ta wurin tambayar firistocin da kuma annabawan gidan Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, “Ko ya kamata in yi makoki da azumi a wata na biyar, yadda na yi a shekaru masu yawa?”
And to speake vnto the Priests, which were in the House of the Lord of hostes, and to the Prophets, saying, Should I weepe in the fift moneth, and separate my selfe as I haue done these so many yeeres?
4 Sai maganar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ta zo mini ta ce,
Then came the word of the Lord of hostes vnto me, saying,
5 “Ka tambayi dukan mutanen ƙasar da firistoci cewa, ‘Sa’ad da kuka yi makoki da azumi a wata na biyar da na bakwai dukan shekaru saba’in nan, a ainihi saboda ni kuka yi azumi?
Speake vnto all the people of the land, and to the Priests, and say, When ye fasted, and mourned in the fift and seuenth moneth, euen the seuentie yeeres, did ye fast vnto me? doe I approoue it?
6 Kuma sa’ad da kuke ci kuke sha, ba kanku kuke yi wa shagali ba?
And when ye did eate, and when ye did drinke, did ye not eate for your selues, and drinke for your selues?
7 Ashe, ba kalmomin da Ubangiji ya faɗi ke nan ta bakin annabawan farko ba sa’ad da Urushalima da garuruwan da suke kewaye da ita suke hutawa, suke cikin wadata, akwai kuma mutane a Negeb da yammancin gindin tuddai?’”
Should ye not heare the wordes, which the Lord hath cryed by the ministerie of the former Prophets when Ierusalem was inhabited, and in prosperitie, and the cities thereof round about her, when the South and the plaine was inhabited?
8 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta sāke zuwa wa Zakariya cewa,
And the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah, saying,
9 “Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ku yi shari’ar gaskiya; ku nuna jinƙai da tausayi ga juna.
Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, Execute true iudgement, and shewe mercy and compassion, euery man to his brother,
10 Kada ku danne gwauruwa ko maraya, baƙo ko talaka. A cikin zuciyarku kada ku yi mugun tunani game da juna.’
And oppresse not the widowe, nor the fatherles, the stranger nor the poore, and let none of you imagine euil against his brother in your heart.
11 “Amma suka ƙi su saurara; da taurinkai suka juya bayansu suka kuma toshe kunnuwansu.
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their eares, that they should not heare.
12 Suka taurare zukatansu kamar dutse, suka ƙi jin abin da doka ko kuma maganar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki take faɗi wadda ya aika ta wurin Ruhunsa ta wurin annabawan farko. Saboda haka Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ji fushi ƙwarai.
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, least they should heare the Lawe and the wordes which the Lord of hostes sent in his spirit by the ministerie of ye former Prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hostes.
13 “‘Sa’ad da na yi kira, ba su saurara ba; saboda haka sa’ad da suka kira, ba zan saurara ba,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
Therefore it is come to passe, that as he cried, and they would not heare, so they cried, and I would not heare, sayth the Lord of hostes.
14 ‘Na warwatsar da su da guguwa a cikin dukan ƙasashe, inda suka zama baƙi. Aka bar ƙasar ta zama kango bayansu, da har ba mai shiga ko fita. Haka suka sa ƙasan nan mai daɗi ta zama kango.’”
But I scattered them among all the nations, whom they knew not: thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they layd the pleasant land waste.
