Zekaraya 9
1 Okwu Amụma. Nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị megide ala Hadrak, na obodo Damaskọs ka ọ ga-ezukwa ike, nʼihi nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ ka anya mmadụ niile na ebo niile nke Izrel dị.
This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and Damascus its resting place— for the eyes of men and of all the tribes of Israel are upon the LORD —
2 Otu ahụkwa ka ọ dị Hamat, nke dị ya nso; tinyekwara Taịa na Saịdọn, ọ bụ ezie na ha bụ ndị maara ihe nke ukwu.
and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd.
3 Taịa ewuolara onwe ya ebe e wusiri ike, tụkọba ọlaọcha dịka aja, na ọlaedo dịka uzuzu nke okporoụzọ.
Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
4 Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-anapụ ya ihe niile o nwere ọ ga-atụnye ike ya nʼoke osimiri, ọ ga-ejikwa ọkụ repịa ya.
Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
5 Ashkelọn ga-ejupụta nʼụjọ mgbe ọ ga-ahụ ihe ndị a ka ha na-eme. Gaza kwa, ga-aṅagharị onwe ya nʼime oke ihe mgbu. Ọ bụladị Ekrọn ga-ama jijiji nʼụjọ mgbe ha hụrụ na olileanya ha agwụla. A ga-anapụ Gaza eze ya ma gbukwaa ya. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-ebikwa nʼAshkelọn.
Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
6 Ụmụ amụtara nʼịkwa iko ga-ebichi obodo Ashdọd, aga m emekwa ka mpako ndị Filistia ndị a kwụsị.
A mixed race will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 Aga m wezuga ọbara niile site nʼọnụ ha, wezugakwa ihe rụrụ arụ niile site nʼetiti eze ya. Ndị niile fọdụrụ ga-abụ ndị nke Chineke anyị, ha ga-adị ka otu agbụrụ na Juda. Ekrọn ga-adịkwa ka ndị Jebus.
I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abominations from between their teeth. Then they too will become a remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
8 Aga m echebe ụlọ m dịka onye nche, ka ndị iro ghara ịbata na ya. Ndị mkpagbu agaghị emerikwa ndị m ọzọ nʼagha, nʼihi na anọ m na nche ugbu a.
But I will camp around My house because of an army, because of those who march to and fro, and never again will an oppressor overrun My people, for now I keep watch with My own eyes.
9 Ṅụrịa ọṅụ nke ukwuu, gị Ada Zayọn! Tie mkpu ọṅụ, gị Ada Jerusalem! Nʼihi na lee, eze gị na-abịakwute gị, onye ezi omume na onye nwere mmeri, onye ewedara nʼala, nke na-anọkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu, ọ bụladị nʼelu nwa ịnyịnya ibu, nwa ịnyịnya na-ebu ibu.
Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 Ọ ga-ewezuga ụgbọ ịnyịnya niile nke Ifrem, na ịnyịnya agha niile nke Jerusalem; a ga-agbajikwa ụta agha. Ọ ga-ewetara mba niile udo, ọchịchị ya ga-esite nʼotu oke osimiri ruo nʼosimiri nke ọzọ, sitekwa nʼOsimiri Yufretis ruo na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa.
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
11 Ma gị onwe gị kwa, aga m eme ka ndị a tụrụ mkpọrọ nʼolulu nke mmiri na-adịghị nwere onwe ha, nʼihi ọbara nke ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ mụ na unu gbara.
As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12 Lọghachinụ nʼebe unu niile e wusiri ike, unu bụ ndị mkpọrọ nwere olileanya. Ọ bụladị taa, ana m ekwupụta ya na m ga-eme ka unu lọta, gọziekwa unu okpukpu abụọ.
Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double.
13 Aga m agbagọ Juda dịka m si ekwe ụta m, tinye Ifrem dịka àkụ. Aga m akwali ụmụ gị ndị ikom, gị Zayọn, ka ha megide ụmụ ndị ikom ndị Griis. Aga m eme gị ka ị dịrị ka mma agha dị nʼaka dike nʼagha.
For I will bend Judah as My bow and fit it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
14 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-egosi onwe ya nʼebe dị elu karịa ha, àkụ ya ga-efekwa dịka amụma. Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-afụ opi ike, ọ ga-azọkwa ije nʼoke ifufe nke si na ndịda.
Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.
15 Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-echebe ha. Ha ga-ebibi, zọdakwa nkume ịtụ iche nʼebe niile. Ha ga-aṅụ ihe ọṅụṅụ mekwa mkpọtụ site na mmanya; ha ga-ejupụta dịka efere, dịka efere eji efesa ihe nʼakụkụ niile ebe a na-achụ aja na-ejupụta.
The LORD of Hosts will shield them. They will destroy and conquer with slingstones; they will drink and roar as with wine. And they will be filled like sprinkling bowls, drenched like the corners of the altar.
16 Mgbe ụbọchị ahụ bịara, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha ga-azọpụta ndị ya, dịka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ si azọpụta igwe ewu na atụrụ ya. Ha ga-acha, na-egbuke nʼala ya, dịka nkume dị oke ọnụahịa e tinyere nʼokpueze si na-egbuke.
On that day the LORD their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like jewels in a crown they will sparkle over His land.
17 Nʼezie, lee ka ịdị mma nke ala ahụ si dị ukwuu! Leekwa ka ịma mma ya si dị ukwuu! Mkpụrụ ubi ga-eme ka ụmụ okorobịa tozuo oke nke ọma, mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ ga-emekwa ka ụmụ agbọghọ doo ahụ.
How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.
