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 the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:

2 Ua ukiuki loa o Iehova i ko oukou poe kupuna.

'The LORD hath been sore displeased 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.

Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return unto Me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD 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 proclaimed, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor attend unto Me, saith the LORD.

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? so that they turned and said: Like as the LORD of hosts purposed 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 the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, 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 in the night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the bottom; and behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.

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.

Then said I: 'O my lord, what are these?' And the angel that spoke with me said unto me: 'I will show 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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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?

Then the angel of the LORD spoke and said: 'O LORD of hosts, how long wilt Thou not have compassion on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which Thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?

13 Olelo mai la o Iehova i ka anela i kamailio me au i na olelo aloha, a me na olelo hooluolu.

And the LORD answered the angel that spoke with me with good words, even 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.

so the angel that spoke with me said unto me: 'Proclaim thou, saying: Thus saith the LORD 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 very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped for evil.

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 the LORD: I return to Jerusalem with compassions: My house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over 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.

Again, proclaim, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with prosperity; and the LORD 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 spoke with me: 'What are these?' And he said unto 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 the LORD showed 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.

Then said I: 'What come these to do?' And he spoke, saying: 'These — the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head — these then are come to frighten them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.'
