< Zekaria 1 >
1 I KA malama ewalu o ka makahiki elua o Dariu, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Zekaria, ke keiki a Berekia, ke keiki a Ido, ke kaula, i ka i ana mai,
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,
2 Ua ukiuki loa o Iehova i ko oukou poe kupuna.
Jehovah hath been very wroth with your fathers.
3 Nolaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou nei, Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai nei, E huli mai oukou io'u nei, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, a e huli aku hoi au ia oukou la, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Return unto me, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 Mai noho a like oukou me ko oukou poe kupuna, ka poe a ka poe kaula mua i kahea aku ai, i ka i ana, Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, E huli no oukou mai ka oukou mau aoao hewa mai, a mai ka oukou hana hewa ana hoi; aole nae lakou i hoolohe mai, aole hoi i malama mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hearken nor attend unto me, saith Jehovah.
5 O ko oukou poe kupuna, auhea la lakou? A o ka poe kaula, e ola mau anei lakou?
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6 Aka, o ka'u mau olelo a me ko'u mau kanawai, a'u i kauoha aku ai i ka'u poe kauwa i ka poe kaula, aole anei i hookoia ua mau mea la i na makua o oukou? A ua huli mai lakou me ka olelo ae, Me ka Iehova o na kaua i manao ai e hana mai ia makou ma ko makou mau aoao a ma ka makou mau hana, pela no ia i hana mai ai ia makou.
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? And they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7 I ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka umikumamakahi o ka malama, oia ka malama Sebata, i ka lua o ka makahiki o Dariu, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova i ke kaula ia Zekaria ke keiki a Berekia, ke keiki a Ido, i ka i ana mai,
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying,
8 Ua ike au i ka po, aia hoi, he kanaka e noho ana maluna o ka lio ulaula, e ku ana iwaena o na laau mureto ma kahi malumalu, a mahope ona na lio ulaula, kikokiko a keokeo.
I saw by night, and behold, a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the low valley; and behind him were red, bay, and white horses.
9 A ninau aku la au, Owai la keia poe, e ka Haku? I mai la ka anela e kamailio ana me au, E hoike aku no au ia oe i keia poe.
And I said, My lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these are.
10 Olelo mai la ke kanaka e ku ana iwaena o na laau mureto, i mai la, O lakou nei ka poe a Iehova i hoouna mai ai e kaahele maluna o ka honua.
And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11 Olelo mai la lakou i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana iwaena o na laau mureto, i mai la, Ua kaahele makou i ka honua, aia hoi, ua noho malie, a ua malu hoi ko ka honua a pau.
And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth sitteth still and is at rest.
12 Alaila, olelo mai la ka anela o Iehova, i mai la, E Iehova o na kaua, Pehea la ka loihi o kou aloha ole mai ia Ierusalema, a me na kulanakauhale o Iuda, au i huhu mai ai i neia mau makahiki he kanahiku?
And the angel of Jehovah answered and said, Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years?
13 Olelo mai la o Iehova i ka anela i kamailio me au i na olelo aloha, a me na olelo hooluolu.
And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me good words, comforting words.
14 A o ka anela i kamailio me au, i mai la oia ia'u, penei, E kahea aku oe, i ka i ana aku, Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, ua aloha no au ia Ierusalema a ia Ziona i ke aloha nui.
And the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy,
15 A ua huhu loa au i ko na aina e e noho nanea ana; a i kuu wa i huhu uuku ai, kokua aku la lakou i ka hoopilikia ana.
and I am wroth exceedingly with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little wroth, and they helped forward the affliction.
16 Nolaila, ke i mai nei o Iehova, Ua hoi hou mai nei au i Ierusalema me ke aloha; e kukuluia ko'u hale iloko ona, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; a e kauia ke kaula-ana maluna o Ierusalema.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and the line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
17 E kahea aku hoi, i ka i ana, Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo ai; Ma ia hope e hoopiha la ia ko'u mau kulanakauhale i ka lokomaikai; a ma ia hope hoi e hooluolu o Iehova ia Ziona, a e wae hoi ia Ierusalema.
Cry further, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity, and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18 Alaila alawa ae la ko'u mau maka iluna, ike aku la au, aia hoi, he mau pepeiaohao eha.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19 Alaila, i aku la au i ka anela i kamailio me au, Heaha keia mau mea? I mai la kela ia'u, Eia na pepeiaohao I hooauhee aku i ka Iuda, i ka Iseraela a me ko Ierusalema.
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 A hoike mai la o Iehova ia'u i na kamena eha.
And Jehovah shewed me four craftsmen.
21 I aku la au, Heaha ka lakou nei e hana'i? I mai la kela, penei, O keia no na pepeiaohao, nana i hooauhee ia Iuda, i hookiekie ole ai kekahi i kona poo; a ua hele mai keia poe e hoomakau ia lakou, a e kipaku aku i na pepeiaohao o ko na aina e, o ka poe hookiekie i ka pepeiaohao maluna o ka aina o ka Iuda e hooauhee aku ai ia ia.
And I said, What come these to do? And he spoke, saying, Those are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these are come to affright them, to cast out the horns of the nations, which lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
