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 Jehovah concerning Israel. Thus saith Jehovah, who stretched out the heavens, And laid the foundation of the earth, And formed 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 make Jerusalem a cup of giddiness to all the nations round about, And for Judah also shall it be In 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 in that day will I make Jerusalem A burdensome stone for all nations; All that lift it up shall tear themselves, And all the nations of the earth shall gather themselves together against it.
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.
In that day, saith Jehovah, I will smite every horse with amazement, And his rider with madness; I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, And every horse of the nations will I smite 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.’
Then shall the leaders of Judah say in their heart, “Strong are the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Through Jehovah 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.
In that day will I make the leaders of Judah Like a fire-pan among wood, And like a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they shall devour, on the right hand and on the left, All the nations round about. And Jerusalem shall again dwell in her own place at 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.
Jehovah will also save the tents of Judah first, That the glory of the house of David, And the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, May not magnify itself against 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.
In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And he that is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, And the house of David shall be as God, As the angel of Jehovah before them.
9 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m ebido ibibi mba ndị ahụ niile na-ebuso Jerusalem agha.
And it shall come to pass in that day That I will seek to destroy all the nations Which 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 will I pour upon the house of David, And upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, A spirit of supplication, and of prayer; And they shall look to me whom they pierced, And they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, And shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born.
11 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, akwa a ga-akwa na Jerusalem ga-adị ukwuu, dịka akwa nke Hadad Rimọn nʼobosara ala Megido.
In that day the mourning shall be great in Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley 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,
And the land shall mourn, every family apart; 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 the house of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 na ikwu ndị ọzọ niile na ndị nwunye ha.
All the families that remain, Every family apart, and their wives apart.
