< Zacarias 9 >

1 Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh maipapan iti daga ti Hadrac ken Damasco. Ta sikikita ni Yahweh kadagiti amin a tattao, ken kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel.
The oracle of the word of Yahweh on the land of Hadrach, and, Damascus, shall be the resting-place thereof, —For, Yahweh, hath an eye—to mankind, and to all the tribes of Israel;
2 Daytoy a pakaammo ket maipapan pay iti Hamat, a nagpatingga iti Damasco, ken maipapan daytoy iti Tiro ken Sidon, uray no ipagarupda a nasiribda unay.
Moreover also, Hamath, adjoineth thereto, Tyre and Zidon, —because very wise;
3 Nangbangon ti Tiro iti sarikedked ken nagurnong iti pirak a kasla tapok ken nangpapuro iti balitok a kasla pitak kadagiti kalsada.
Therefore did Tyre build a stronghold for herself, —and did heap up silver like dust, yea gold, like the mire of the lanes.
4 Ngem alaento ti Apo dagiti amin a sanikuana ken dadaelennanto ti pakirangetna nga adda iti baybay, isu a mauramto daytoy iti apuy.
Lo! My Lord, shall dispossess her, and smite, into the sea, her fortress, —and, she herself, in fire, shall be consumed.
5 Makitanto daytoy ti Askelon ket agbutengda! Agtigergerto met iti kasta unay ti Gaza! Maupayto ti Ekron! Mapukawto ti ari ti Gaza, ket saanton a mapagnaedan ti Askelon!
Ashkelon, shall see, and fear, Gaza, also, which shall writhe in great anguish, Ekron, also, because abashed is her expectation, —and the king, shall perish, from Gaza, and, Ashkelon, not be inhabited;
6 Kuna ni Yahweh, “Agaramidto dagiti ganggannaet kadagiti pagtaenganda idiay Asdod, ket ikkatekto ti kinatangsit dagiti Filisteo.
And there shall be seated a half-breed in Ashdod, —So will I cut off the arrogance of the Philistines;
7 Ta saankonto idan a pagsidaen iti karne nga adda pay laeng darana ken paritak ida a mangan iti taraon nga indatonda kadagiti didiosen.” Kalpasanna, dagiti matda ket mailasindanto a para iti Diostayo a kasla maysa a puli idiay Juda, ken agbalinto ti Ekron a kas kadagiti Jebuseo.
And will take away his reeking prey out of his mouth, and his abominations, from between his teeth, but, he that is left, even he, shall belong to our God, —So shall he become as a chief in Judah, and, Ekron, as a Jebusite!
8 Kuna ni Yahweh, “Salaknibakto ti dagak iti armada dagiti kabusor tapno awan ti makalasat wenno makasubli, ta awanton a pulos ti mangparigat iti daytoy. Ta iti dayta a tiempo, wanawanakto a mismo ti dagak!
Then will I encamp about my house—against an army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, neither shall an exactor, tread them down any more, —for, now, have I seen with mine own eyes.
9 Agpukkawka a sirarag-o, anak a babai ti Sion! Agpukkawka a siraragsak, anak a babai ti Jerusalem! Adtoy! Umayen kenka ti arim a nalinteg ket ispalennaka. Napakumbaba isuna ken nakasakay iti asno, iti urbon nga asno.
Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he, —lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young ass.
10 Kalpasanna, ikkatekto ti karuahe iti Efraim ken ti kabalio iti Jerusalem, ken madadaelto ti bai a maus-usar a pakigubat; ta pagkakappiaennanto dagiti nasion, ken iturayannanto manipud iti baybay agingga iti sabali a baybay, ken manipud iti Karayan agingga iti pungto ti daga!
So will he cut off the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the war-bow, shall be cut off, So shall he speak peace to the nations, and, his dominion, shall be from sea to sea, and from the river [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.
11 Ket dakayo a tattao ti Israel—gapu iti dara a nangpasingked iti tulagko kadakayo—winawayawayaak dagiti baludyo manipud iti abut nga awan iti danumna.
As for thee also, —By the blood of thy covenant, have I sent forth thy prisoners out of a pit, wherein is no water.
12 Agsublikayo kadagiti sarikedked, dakayo a balud nga addaan namnama! Uray ita nga aldaw, ipakpakaammok nga isublikto kadakayo iti mamindua a kaadu ti bendision ti amin a sinagabayo,
Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope, —Even to-day, do I declare—Double, will I return to thee!
13 gapu ta inaramidko ti Juda a kas baik. Inaramidko ti Efraim a kas panak. Ipalubosko a gubaten dagiti annakmo a lallaki, O Sion, dagiti annakmo a lallaki, Grecia, ken pinagbalinka, Sion, a kasla kampilan ti mannakigubat!”
For I have bent for me—Judah, As a bow, have I grasped Ephraim, Thus will I rouse up thy sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty one.
14 Agparangto ni Yahweh kadagiti tattaona, ket maibiatto dagiti panana a kasla iti kimat! Ta paguniento ni Yahweh nga Apok ti trumpeta ket magnanto a kakuyog dagiti bagio manipud iti Teman.
But, Yahweh, over them, will appear, and forth shall go, as lightning, his arrow, —Yea, My Lord Yahweh, with a horn, will blow, and will move along in the whirlwinds of the south.
15 Salaknibanto ida ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, ket naan-anayto a parmeken dagiti tattao ti Juda dagiti kabusorda babaen kadagiti bato dagiti pallatibong. Ket aginum ken agpukkawdanto a kas iti lalaki a nabartek, ket mapnodanto iti arak a kasla kadagiti malukong iti altar, kasla kadagiti suli ti altar.
Yahweh of hosts, will throw a covering over them, so shall they eat, and trample underfoot sling-stones, and shall drink—shall shout as with wine, —and shall be filled like tossing-bowls, —like the corners of an altar.
16 Isu nga iti dayta nga aldaw, ispalento ida ni Yahweh a Diosda; maiyarigdanto iti arban dagiti tattaona, ta kasladanto kadagiti alahas iti korona, nga agraniag iti dagana.
So will Yahweh their God, save them, on that day. yea, as a flock of sheep, his people, —for [they shall be like] the jewels of a diadem sparkling over his land.
17 Anian a kinasayaat ken anian a kinapintasdanto! Pumigsanto dagiti agtutubo a lallaki iti pannanganda iti bukel ken dagiti birhen iti panagiumda iti nasam-it nga arak!
For how excellent it is! Yea how beautiful! Corn, shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
