Zekaria 9
1 KA wanana o ka olelo a Iehova i ka aina o Haderaka, A o Damaseko kona wahi o hoomaha ai; No ka mea, ua kau pono ia ka maka o na kanaka, a me ka ohana a pau o ka Iseraela maluna o Iehova:
This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and Damascus its resting place— for the eyes of men and of all the tribes of Israel are upon the LORD —
2 A o Hamata hoi kona palena; O Turo hoi, a me Zidona, no ka mea, ua naauao loa ia.
and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd.
3 A kukulu iho la o Turo i pakaua nona, A ahu iho la i ke kala e like me ka lepo, A me ke gula e like me ka naele o na alanui.
Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
4 Aia hoi, na ka Haku ia e hookuke aku, A e hoolei aku i kona waiwai iloko o ke kai; A e hoopauia auanei oia i ke ahi.
Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
5 E ike auanei o Asekelona me ka makau; O Gaza hoi, a e haalulu nui loa ia; A me Ekerona; no ka mea, e poho auanei kona manaolana; E make ke alii o Gaza, A e kanaka ole auanei o Asekelona.
Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
6 A e noho ka malihini ma Asedoda, A e hooki iho no wau i ke kiekie o ka poe Pilisetia.
A mixed race will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 E lawe aku hoi au i kona koko mailoko mai o kona waha, A me kona mau mea hoopailua mai o kona mau niho. Aka, o ka mea i waihoia, no ko kakou Akua ia, E like auanei ia me ka lunaaina, ma ka Iuda, A o Ekerona hoi me he Iebusi la:
I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abominations from between their teeth. Then they too will become a remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
8 E hoomoana no wau a puni ka hale o'u, no ka poe kaua, I ko lakou hele ae ana a i ka hoi mai ana; Aole hoi e puka hou ae kekahi alii hooluhi iwaena o lakou; No ka mea, ua ike no ka'u mau maka.
But I will camp around My house because of an army, because of those who march to and fro, and never again will an oppressor overrun My people, for now I keep watch with My own eyes.
9 E hauoli nui, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona, E hooho olioli, e ke kaikamahine o Ierusalema; Aia hoi, e hele mai ana kou alii iou la: He hoopono, a he hoola no kona; He akahai no, a e noho ana maluna o ka hoki, o ke keiki hoi a ka hoki.
Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 E hoopau auanei hoi au i na halekaa mai ko Eperaima aku, A me ka lio mai Ierusalema aku: E hookiia hoi ke kakaka kaua; A e hai aku auanei oia i ka maluhia i na lahuikanaka; A mai kekahi kai a hiki i kela kai kona aupuni, A mai ka muliwai aku a hiki i na palena o ka honua.
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
11 O oe hoi, no ke koko o kau berita, E hookuu aku no au i kou poe paahao, Mailoko ae o ka lua meki, o kahi wai ole.
As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12 E huli ae oukou i ka pakaua, e ka poe pio manaolana; No ka mea, ke hai aku nei au i neia la, E uku palua aku no au nau.
Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double.
13 No ka mea, e lena auanei au i ka Iuda no'u, E lena hoi au i ka Eperaima e like me ka kakaka, Alaila e hoeueu ae hoi au i kau mau keiki, e Ziona; E ku e i kau mau keiki, e Iavana, A e hoolilo au ia oe e like me ka pahikaua a ke kanaka koa.
For I will bend Judah as My bow and fit it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
14 A e ikea auanei o Iehova maluna o lakou, A e lele aku kona pua e like me ka uila; A e hookani o Iehova ka Haku i ka pu, A e hele aku no ia iloko o na makani ino o ke kukuluhema.
Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.
15 Na Iehova o na kaua lakou e hoomalu mai; E ai iho lakou, a e hehi lakou maluna o na ala o ka maa; a e inu lakou, a e walaau e like me ka poe inu waina: A e hoopihaia lakou e like me na bola, a me na kihi o ke kuahu.
The LORD of Hosts will shield them. They will destroy and conquer with slingstones; they will drink and roar as with wine. And they will be filled like sprinkling bowls, drenched like the corners of the altar.
16 A e malama mai o Iehova ko lakou Akua ia lakou ia la, E like me ka ohana hipa, i poe kanaka nona; No ka mea, e lilo auanei lakou i mau pohaku maikai o ka papalealii, I hookiekieia maluna o kona aina,
On that day the LORD their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like jewels in a crown they will sparkle over His land.
17 Nani ka nui o kona lokomaikai! Nani hoi ka nui o kona maikai! O ka palaoa ka mea e hooulu ai i na keikikane, A o ka waina hou i na kaikamahine.
How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.
