Zekaria 8
1 A HIKI hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova o na kaua, i mai la,
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came [unto me], saying,
2 Penei ka Iehova o na kaua e olelo mai nei, I lili no au ia Ziona me ka manao nui, A i lili hoi au nona me ka inaina nui.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great fury.
3 Ke olelo mai nei Iehova penei, Ua hoi mai nei au i Ziona, a e noho auanei au iwaena o Ierusalema; A e kapaia o Ierusalema, he kulanakauhale no ka oiaio, A o ka mauna o Iehova o na kaua, he mauna hoano.
Thus saith Jehovah: I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called, The city of truth; and the mountain of Jehovah of hosts, The holy mountain.
4 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, Ma ia hope e noho na elemakule a me na luwahine ma na kuamoo o Ierusalema, A e lawe kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona kookoo ma kona lima no ka nui o na la;
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand for multitude of days.
5 A e paapu na kuamoo o ua kulanakauhale nei i na keikikane, A me na kaikamahine e paani ana ma na alanui ona.
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Ina he paakiki keia imua o keia koena kanaka i kela manawa, He mea paakiki hoi anei ia imua o'u? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If it be wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be wonderful in mine eyes? saith Jehovah of hosts.
7 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, Aia hoi, e hoopakele auanei au i o'u poe kanaka, Mai ka aina hikina mai, a mai ka aina komohana mai:
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country;
8 A e alakai mai au ia lakou, e noho lakou iwaena o Ierusalema: E lilo mai no lakou i kanaka no'u, A owau auanei ko lakou Akua ma ka oiaio a ma ka pono.
and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
9 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, E hooikaika i ka oukou mau lima, E ka poe lohe i keia mau la ia mau olelo, Ma ka waha o na kaula, O ka poe e noho ana i ka wa i hookumuia'i ka hale o Iehova o na kaua, I kukuluia'i ka luakini.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
10 No ka mea, mamua o ia mau la, Aole i loaa i ke kanaka ka uku, Aole hoi he uku no ka holoholona; Aole hoi i maluhia ka mea i hele aku iwaho a i hoi mai iloko, no ka enemi; No ka mea, hookuee aku la au i na kanaka a pau i ko lakou mau hoalauna.
For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; and there was no peace for him that went out or that came in, because of the distress: for I let loose all men, every one against his neighbour.
11 Aka, i neia manawa, aole au e hana aku i keia koena kanaka, E like me ka'u i na la mamua, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith Jehovah of hosts;
12 No ka mea, e maluhia ka hua kanu, A e hua mai ke kumuwaina i kona hua, A e hooulu mai hoi ka honua i kana mea ulu, A e haawi mai hoi ka lani i kona hau, A e haawi auanei au i keia mau mea a pau no keia koena kanaka.
for the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [things].
13 No ka mea, me oukou i hoinoia iwaena o ko na aina e, E ka ohana a Iuda, a me ka ohana a Iseraela, Pela no au e hoola ai ia oukou, a e hoopomaikai ia oukou; Mai makau oukou, e hooikaika hoi i ko oukou mau lima.
And it shall come to pass, like as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear ye not, let your hands be strong.
14 No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, Me ka'u i manao ai e hoopai aku i ko oukou hewa, I ka wa o ko oukou mau makua i hoonaukiuki mai ai ia'u, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, Aole hoi au i hoololi hou i ka manao;
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Like as I thought to do you evil when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I repented not;
15 Pela hoi, manao iho au i neia mau la, E lokomaikai aku ia Ierusalema, A i ka ohana a Iuda; mai makau oukou.
so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
16 Eia na mea a oukou e hana'i; E olelo oiaio aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hoalauna; A e hookolokolo ma ka oiaio, a ma ka mea e malu ai iloko o na ipuka o oukou.
These are the things that ye shall do: Speak truth every one with his neighbour; execute truth and the judgment of peace in your gates;
17 Mai manao ino aku kekahi o oukou i kona hoalauna maloko o ko oukou naau: Mai makemake hoi i ka hoike wahahee ana: No ka mea, o keia mau mea o pau ka'u e inaina nei, wahi a Iehova.
and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are [things] that I hate, saith Jehovah.
18 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova i o'u nei, i ana mai,
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying,
19 Penei ka Iehova a na kaua e olelo nei, O ka hookeai ana o ka malama aha, me ka hookeai ana o ka alima. Me ka hookeai ana o ka ahiku, a me ka hookeai ana o ka umi, E lilo ia i mea olioli a me ka hauoli, A i mau ahaaina olioli i ka ohana a Iuda; Nolaila e makemake oukou i ka oiaio a me ke kuikahi
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The fast of the fourth [month] and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful gatherings. Love ye then truth and peace.
20 Penei ka olelo ana a Iehova o na kaua, Ma ia hope aku no, E hele mai ai na kanaka, A me na kamaaina o na kulanakauhale he nui;
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet again shall there come peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities;
21 A e hele aku na kamaaina o kekahi wahi i kekahi, me ka i aku, E haele pu kakou e pule imua o Iehova, A e imi aku ia Iehova o na kaua: Owau hoi kekahi e hele.
and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to supplicate Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of hosts: I will go also.
22 A e hele mai na kanaka he nui loa, A me na lahuikanaka ikaika, E imi ia Iehova o na kaua ma Ierusalema, A e pule imua o Iehova.
And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to supplicate Jehovah.
23 Penei ka olelo ana mai o Iehova o na kana, ia manawa, E lalau mai na kanaka he umi no na lahuikanaka o na olelo a pau, E lalau mai auanei lakou i ke kapa o ke kanaka Iudaio, Me ka i ana mai, E hele pu makou me oe; No ka mea, ua lohe makou, me oe pu no ke Akua.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: In those days shall ten men take hold, out of all languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard [that] God is with you.
