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:
An oracle: The message of the Lord concerns the land of Hadrach, it rests upon Damascus. For the capital of Aram belongs to the Lord, as the tribes of Israel do,
2 A o Hamata hoi kona palena; O Turo hoi, a me Zidona, no ka mea, ua naauao loa ia.
and also Hamath which borders on it. Tyre and Sidon, for all their wisdom.
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 built for herself a fortress. Heaped up silver as 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.
But now the Lord will dispossess her, cast down her rampart into the sea. She will be consumed in 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, and Gaza writhe in anguish, Ekron, also for her hope will be put to shame. The king will perish from Gaza, Ashkelon will remain uninhabited.
6 A e noho ka malihini ma Asedoda, A e hooki iho no wau i ke kiekie o ka poe Pilisetia.
A foreign people will settle in Ashdod, and I will humble 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 take their blood from their mouth, and their abominations from between their teeth. They also will be a remnant for our God, 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 encamp as a guard about my house, so that none will pass through or return, and no oppressor will pass through them again, for now I have seen 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, daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, daughter of Jerusalem! Look, your king comes to you. Vindicated and victorious is he, 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.
He will cut off chariots from Ephraim, and war horses from Jerusalem. The battle bow will be cut off, and he will speak peace to the nations. His rule will be from sea to sea, from the river 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.
And you, too – because of your blood covenant, I have set free 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.
To the stronghold will the prisoners of hope return. This day I declare, I will restore double to you.
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 have bent Judah to me, like a bow which I have filled with Ephraim like an arrow. I will urge your sons, Zion, against the sons of Greece, I will make you like the sword of a hero.
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 be seen above them and his arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord will blow a blast upon a trumpet, and travel on 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 defend them. They will devour and tread down the slingstones, they will drink their blood like wine, they will be full like a bowl, like the crevices 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,
And the Lord their God will save them on that day, as the flock of his people, as the jewel of a crown shining in 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 good and how beautiful will it be! Corn will make the young men flourish and new wine the young women!
