Zakariya 8
1 Maganar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ta sāke zuwa gare ni.
Then the Lord Almighty sent another message to me.
2 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Ina kishin Sihiyona ƙwarai; ina kuma cike da kishi dominta.”
This is what the Lord Almighty says. I am jealously protective of the people of Zion; I am extremely passionate about them.
3 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan koma Sihiyona in zauna a Urushalima. Sa’an nan za a kira Urushalima Birnin Gaskiya, a kuma kira dutsen Ubangiji Maɗaukaki Dutse Mai Tsarki.”
This is what the Lord says. I have returned to Zion, and I will live in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the “Faithful City,” and the mountain of the Lord Almighty the “Holy Mountain.”
4 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Tsofaffi maza da mata za su sāke zauna a titunan Urushalima, kowanne da sanda a hannu saboda tsufa.
This is what the Lord Almighty says. Old people will be able to sit again in the streets of Jerusalem, each with their walking sticks they need because of their age.
5 Titunan birnin za su cika da samari da’yan mata suna wasa.”
The streets will be full of boys and girls playing happily.
6 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Mai yiwuwa ya zama da mamaki ga raguwar wannan mutanen da suke nan a lokacin, amma zai zama abin mamaki gare ni ne?” In ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
This is what the Lord Almighty says. It may seem too good to be true now, to you who remain of my people in these days. But is it impossible for me to do? asks the Lord Almighty.
7 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Zan ceci mutanena daga ƙasashen gabas da yamma.
This is what the Lord Almighty says. I will save my people from the countries to the east and to the west.
8 Zan komo da su su zauna a Urushalima; za su zama mutanena, ni kuwa zan zama amintaccen Allahnsu mai adalci.”
I will bring them back and they will live in Jerusalem, and they will be my people and I will be their God, trustworthy and true.
9 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Ku da yanzu kuke jin maganan nan da annabawa suka faɗi, waɗanda suke a nan lokacin da aka kafa harsashin haikalin Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, bari hannuwanku su zama da ƙarfi don a gama gina haikalin.
This is what the Lord Almighty says. Be strong, so that the Temple may be completed. Everyone who is here today is listening to the same words from the prophets who were present on the day when the foundation of the Lord Almighty's Temple was laid.
10 Kafin wannan lokaci babu albashi domin mutum ko dabba. Ba wanda yake iya sakewa yă yi hidimominsa saboda maƙiya, domin na sa kowa yă zama maƙiyi maƙwabcinsa.
Before that time there wasn't enough for people or for animals. No one could live normally because they were not safe from their enemies, and I set everyone against each other.
11 Amma yanzu ba zan yi da waɗanda raguwar mutane yadda na yi da na dā ba,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
But now I won't treat those who remain of my people like I treated them before, declares the Lord Almighty.
12 “Iri zai yi girma da kyau, kuringa za tă ba da’ya’yanta, ƙasa za tă ba da hatsi, sama kuma za tă ba da raɓa. Zan ba da duk waɗannan abubuwa su zama gādo ga raguwar mutanen nan.
They will sow in peace; the vine will produce grapes; the soil will grow crops and the heavens will water them. I will make sure this happens to all those who remain of this people.
13 Kamar yadda kuka zama abin la’ana a ƙasashe, ya Yahuda da Isra’ila, haka zan cece ku, za ku kuma zama albarka. Kada ku ji tsoro, sai dai ku bar hannuwanku su zama da ƙarfi.”
People of Judah and Israel: just as you were considered a curse among the nations, so I will save you and you will become a blessing. Don't be afraid! Be strong!
14 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Kamar dai yadda na yi niyyar kawo muku bala’i, in kuma ƙi jin tausayi sa’ad da kakanninku suka ba ni haushi,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki,
For this is what the Lord Almighty says: I decided to bring disaster on you when your forefathers angered me and I did not change my mind.
15 kada ku ji tsoro “saboda a yanzu na yi niyya in sāke yi wa Urushalima da Yahuda abu mai kyau.
But now I have made up my mind to do good to Jerusalem and the people of Judah. Don't be afraid!
16 Abubuwan da za ku yi ke nan. Ku gaya wa juna gaskiya, ku kuma dinga yin shari’ar gaskiya a ɗakunanku na shari’arku;
This what you have to do: Tell each other the truth. In your courts judge honestly and truthfully, which makes for peace.
17 kada ku ƙulla wa maƙwabtanku mugunta, kuma kada ku so yin rantsuwa ta ƙarya. Ina ƙyamar waɗannan duka,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
Don't think up evil schemes against one another. Stop your love of lies. I hate all this, declares the Lord.
18 Maganar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ta sāke zuwa wurina.
The Lord Almighty gave me another message.
19 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Azumin wata na huɗu, da na watan biyar, da na watan bakwai da na watan goma za su zama lokutan farin ciki da murna da kuma bukukkuwa na murna ga Yahuda. Saboda haka sai ku ƙaunaci gaskiya da salama.”
This is what the Lord Almighty says: The fasts you observe in the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth month will become times of joy and happiness for the people of Judah—they will be festivals of celebration. But love truth and peace.
20 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Mutane da yawa da kuma mazaunan birane da yawa har yanzu za su zo,
This is what the Lord Almighty says: People from many nations and cities will yet come to Jerusalem,
21 mazaunan wani birni za su je wurin mazaunan wani birni su ce, ‘Bari mu je nan da nan mu roƙi Ubangiji mu kuma nemi Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. Ni kaina zan je.’
going from one city to another saying, “Let us be sure to go and seek the Lord and ask for the blessing of the Lord Almighty. I myself am going!”
22 Mutane da yawa kuma da al’ummai masu ƙarfi za su zo Urushalima su nemi Ubangiji Maɗaukaki su kuma roƙe shi.”
Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to ask for the blessing of the Lord Almighty and seek the Lord.
23 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “A kwanakin nan, mutane goma daga kabilu da al’ummai za su riƙe rigar mutumin Yahuda guda su ce, ‘Bari mu tafi tare da kai, domin mun ji cewa Allah yana tare da ku.’”
This is what the Lord Almighty says: At that time ten men from different nations and languages will grab hold of the hem of a Jewish man's robe and plead, “Please take us with you for we have heard that God is with you.”
