Zekaria 8
1 A HIKI hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova o na kaua, i mai la,
And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts, 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 said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous for Zion with great zeal, With great heat I have been zealous for her.
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 said Jehovah: I have turned back unto Zion, And I have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And Jerusalem hath been 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 said Jehovah of Hosts: Again dwell do old men and old women, In broad places of Jerusalem, And each his staff in his hand, Because of abundance 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 broad places of the city are full of boys and girls, Playing in its broad places.
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 said Jehovah of Hosts: Surely it is wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, Also in Mine eyes it is wonderful, An affirmation of 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 said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am saving My people from the land of the rising, And from the land of the going in, of the sun,
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 have brought them in, They have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for 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 said Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, Ye who are hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets, That in the day the house of Jehovah of Hosts Hath been founded, the temple [is] to 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 hath been no hiring of man, Yea, a hiring of beasts there is none; And to him who is going out, And to him who is coming in, There is no peace because of the adversary, And I send all men — each 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.
And now, not as [in] the former days [am] I to the remnant of this people, An affirmation of 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.
Because of the sowing of peace, The vine doth give her fruit, And the earth doth give her increase, And the heavens do give their dew, And I have caused the remnant of this people To inherit all these.
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 hath come to pass, As ye have been a reviling among nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel, So I save you, and ye have been a blessing, Do not fear, 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 said Jehovah of Hosts, As I did purpose to do evil to you, When your fathers made Me wroth, Said Jehovah of Hosts, and I did not repent,
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 I have turned back, I have purposed, in these days, To do good with Jerusalem, And with the house of Judah — fear 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 do: Speak ye truth each with his neighbour, Truth and peaceful judgment judge 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 each the evil of his neighbour ye do not devise in your heart, And a false oath ye do not love, For all these [are] things that I have hated, An affirmation of Jehovah.'
18 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova i o'u nei, i ana mai,
And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts 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 said Jehovah of Hosts: The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth [months], are to the house of Judah for joy and for rejoicing, and for pleasant appointed seasons, and the truth and the peace they have loved.
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 said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet come do peoples, and 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.
Yea, gone have inhabitants of one To another, saying: We go diligently, To appease the face of Jehovah, To seek Jehovah of Hosts — I go, even I.
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.
Yea, come in have many peoples, and mighty nations, To seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, And to appease the face of 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 said Jehovah of Hosts: In those days take hold do ten men of all languages of the nations, Yea, they have taken hold on the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying: We go with you, for we heard God [is] with you!
