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.
An oracle. The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward 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 Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
3 Taịa ewuolara onwe ya ebe e wusiri ike, tụkọba ọlaọcha dịka aja, na ọlaedo dịka uzuzu nke okporoụzọ.
Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like 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.
Look, the LORD will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will 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 will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6 Ụmụ amụtara nʼịkwa iko ga-ebichi obodo Ashdọd, aga m emekwa ka mpako ndị Filistia ndị a kwụsị.
Foreigners will 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.
I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain 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.
I will camp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my 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. Look, your king comes to you. He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even 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.
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the farthest parts 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 also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which 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 to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
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 indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and 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.
The LORD will be seen over them; and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and the LORD will blow the trumpet, and will go 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.
The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, 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.
The LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high 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.
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty. Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
