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.
The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel; )
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 [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.
3 Taịa ewuolara onwe ya ebe e wusiri ike, tụkọba ọlaọcha dịka aja, na ọlaedo dịka uzuzu nke okporoụzọ.
And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire 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 take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with 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 shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 Ụmụ amụtara nʼịkwa iko ga-ebichi obodo Ashdọd, aga m emekwa ka mpako ndị Filistia ndị a kwụsị.
And a bastard shall dwell in 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.
and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
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.
And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine 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, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
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 battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river 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 thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
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.
Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.
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 have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee 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.
And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with 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.
Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, 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.
And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon 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.
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
