< 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,
The prophecy of the word of the Lord concerning Israel, Saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth 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 confusion unto all the people round about; and also against Judah, who will have to be at the siege against 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.
And it shall come to pass on that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the people; all that burden themselves with it shall be severely cut: yet then will be gathered together against it all the nations of the earth.
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, saith the Lord, will I smite every horse with dizziness, and his rider with madness; but over the house of Judah will I open my eyes, while I will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
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.’
And the chiefs of Judah will say in their heart, A strong support for me are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts 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 will I make the chiefs of Judah like a fire-hearth among the wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the people round about; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
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 also will save the tents of Judah first: in order that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become boastful over 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 will the Lord be a shield around the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and the feeblest among them shall be on that day like David; and the house of David shall be like divine beings, like an angel of the Lord before them.
9 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m ebido ibibi mba ndị ahụ niile na-ebuso Jerusalem agha.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that are 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.
But I will pour out over the house of David, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they will look up toward me [for every one] whom they have thrust through, and they will lament for him, as one lamenteth for an only son, and weep bitterly for him, as one weepeth bitterly for the first-born.
11 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, akwa a ga-akwa na Jerusalem ga-adị ukwuu, dịka akwa nke Hadad Rimọn nʼobosara ala Megido.
On that day will the lamentation be great in Jerusalem, like the lamentation at Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
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,
And the land will mourn, every family apart by itself: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 na ikwu Livayị, na ndị nwunye ha, na ikwu Shimei na ndị nwunye ha,
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shim'i apart, and their wives apart;
14 na ikwu ndị ọzọ niile na ndị nwunye ha.
All the families that remain, every family apart by itself, and their wives apart.
