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,
An oracle. This is the message of the Lord about Israel. The Lord who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the human spirit within people says:
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.
Look! I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness for all the surrounding peoples. There will be a siege of 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 that I will make Jerusalem a stone to be lifted up by all the peoples. All who lift it up will surely hurt themselves! And all the nations of the earth will be gathered 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.
On that day, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness. But over the house of Judah I will keep watch, though I strike every horse belonging to the peoples 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 chieftains of Judah will say to themselves, “The strength of the inhabitants is in 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.
In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire in the woods, like a torch among sheaves, they will devour right and left all the surrounding peoples. But Jerusalem will abide on its own site.
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.
And the Lord will first give victory to the tents of Judah, so that the glory of the house of David, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not exalted above 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 the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the feeblest among them will in that day be like David, and the house of David like God, like the messenger of the Lord before them.
9 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m ebido ibibi mba ndị ahụ niile na-ebuso Jerusalem agha.
And in that day I will seek to destroy all the nations who have come up 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.
And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of pity and compassion. They will look on him whom they have pierced and they will lament for him as one laments for an only son. They will bitterly grieve for him as one grieves for the firstborn.
11 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, akwa a ga-akwa na Jerusalem ga-adị ukwuu, dịka akwa nke Hadad Rimọn nʼobosara ala Megido.
In that day mourning will be as great in Jerusalem as the mourning for 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,
And the land will mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves, and the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves,
13 na ikwu Livayị, na ndị nwunye ha, na ikwu Shimei na ndị nwunye ha,
and the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves, the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves,
14 na ikwu ndị ọzọ niile na ndị nwunye ha.
and all the families who are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
