Zekaraya 12
1 Nke a bụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị banyere Izrel. Ọ bụ amụma. Onyenwe anyị, onye gbasapụrụ eluigwe niile, onye tọrọ ntọala ụwa, na onye kpụrụ mmụọ nke dị nʼime mmadụ, ekwupụtala, sị,
This is the burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. Thus declares the LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, who forms the spirit of man within him:
2 “Agaje m ime Jerusalem ka ọ bụrụ iko mmanya nke ga-aṅagharị ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu. Ha ga-agba Juda na Jerusalem gburugburu, nọbichie ụzọ ya niile.
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples. Judah will be besieged, as well as Jerusalem.
3 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, mgbe mba niile nke ụwa chịkọtara onwe ha ọnụ imegide ya, aga m eme Jerusalem ka ọ ghọọrọ mba ndị ahụ niile nkume dị ukwuu nke a na-apụghị inugharị enugharị. Ndị niile ga-agbalị inugharị ya ga-emerụ onwe ha ahụ.
On that day, when all the nations of the earth gather against her, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will be severely injured.
4 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m etinye ụjọ nʼobi ịnyịnya niile, mee ka ndị na-agba ha ghọọ ndị ara,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. “Aga m asaghe anya m lekwasị ụlọ Juda nke ọma, ma aga m eme ka ịnyịnya niile nke mba niile kpuo ìsì.
On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and every rider with madness. I will keep a watchful eye on the house of Judah, but I will strike with blindness all the horses of the nations.
5 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ndu Juda ga-ekwu nʼobi ha sị, ‘Ndị Jerusalem achọtala ike nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke ha.’
Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts: ‘The people of Jerusalem are my strength, for the LORD of Hosts is their God.’
6 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m eme ka ndị ndu Juda niile dịrị ka ite ọkụ, nke a dọnyere nʼebe a chịkọtara nkụ. Ha ga-adịkwa ka ọkụ na-enwu enwu, nke dị nʼetiti ukwu ọka. Ha ga-ere ọkụ nʼaka nri na nʼaka ekpe, rechapụ ndị niile bi gburugburu ha. Ma mmadụ ga-ejupụtakwa nʼime Jerusalem.
On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among the sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and on the left, while the people of Jerusalem remain secure there.
7 “Onyenwe anyị ga-ebu ụzọ zọpụta ebe obibi niile nke Juda, ime ka ugwu na nsọpụrụ nke ụlọ Devid, na nke ndị niile bi na Jerusalem ghara ịdị ukwuu karịa nke Juda.
The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.
8 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-echebe ndị bi na Jerusalem, mee ka ọ bụladị ndị na-asọ ngọngọ nʼetiti ha dịrị ike dịka Devid. Ụlọ Devid ga-adịkwa ka Chineke, dịka Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị, onye na-eje nʼihu ha.
On that day the LORD will defend the people of Jerusalem, so that the weakest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD going before them.
9 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m ebido ibibi mba ndị ahụ niile na-ebuso Jerusalem agha.
So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 “Mgbe ahụ, aga m awụkwasị nʼụlọ Devid na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem, mmụọ nke amara na nke arịrịọ amara. Ha ga-elegidekwa m anya, bụ onye ahụ ha mapuru ahụ. Ha ga-eru ụjụ nʼihi ya, dịka mmadụ si eru ụjụ nʼihi ọnwụ nke nwa a mụrụ naanị ya. Ha ga-ebekwa akwa ilu nke ukwuu dịka mmadụ sị ebe akwa maka nwa mbụ ya.
Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
11 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, akwa a ga-akwa na Jerusalem ga-adị ukwuu, dịka akwa nke Hadad Rimọn nʼobosara ala Megido.
On that day the wailing in Jerusalem will be as great as the wailing of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
12 Ndị ala ahụ niile ga-eru ụjụ. Ikwu ọbụla ga-eru ụjụ nke ha, ha na ndị nwunye ha. Ikwu Devid na ndị nwunye ha, na ikwu Netan na ndị nwunye ha,
The land will mourn, each clan on its own: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives,
13 na ikwu Livayị, na ndị nwunye ha, na ikwu Shimei na ndị nwunye ha,
the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,
14 na ikwu ndị ọzọ niile na ndị nwunye ha.
and all the remaining clans and their wives.
