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 Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to 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 was very 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 tell them: Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Return to me,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will return to you,' says 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.
Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;' but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says 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 forever?
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 by my Spirit to my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? Then they repented and said, 'Just as the LORD of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has 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,
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to 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 had a vision in the night, and look, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, 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.
Then I asked, 'My lord, what are these?'" The angel who talked with me said to me, "I will show you 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.
The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said to me, "They are the ones the LORD has sent to go back and forth 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.
They reported to the angel of the LORD who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, "We have walked back and forth through the earth, and look, all the earth is at rest and in peace."
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 replied, "O LORD of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have 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.
The LORD answered the angel who talked with me with kind and 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 who talked with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says 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.
I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but only a little angry, but they added to the calamity."
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 says the LORD: "I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house will be built in it," says 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.
"Proclaim further, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem."'"
18 Alaila alawa ae la ko'u mau maka iluna, ike aku la au, aia hoi, he mau pepeiaohao eha.
I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, 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.
I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" He answered 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.
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 I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He said, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."
