< 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.
A revelation. The LORD’s word is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus— for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is towards the LORD—
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.
and Hamath, also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
3 Nangbangon ti Tiro iti sarikedked ken nagurnong iti pirak a kasla tapok ken nangpapuro iti balitok a kasla pitak kadagiti kalsada.
Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
4 Ngem alaento ti Apo dagiti amin a sanikuana ken dadaelennanto ti pakirangetna nga adda iti baybay, isu a mauramto daytoy iti apuy.
Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.
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 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 Kuna ni Yahweh, “Agaramidto dagiti ganggannaet kadagiti pagtaenganda idiay Asdod, ket ikkatekto ti kinatangsit dagiti Filisteo.
Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride 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.
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 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!
I will encamp around my house against the army, that no one pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my 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.
Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, 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 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!
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem. The battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations. His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River 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 you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which 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,
Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
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 indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have loaded the bow with Ephraim. I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
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.
The LORD will be seen over them. His arrow will flash like lightning. The Lord GOD will blow the shofar, and will go with 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.
The LORD of Hosts will defend them. They will destroy and overcome with sling stones. They will drink, and roar as through wine. They will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the 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.
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 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 great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
