< Zacarias 1 >

1 Iti maikawalo a bulan iti maikadua a tawen a panagturay ni Dario, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni profeta Zacarias a putot ni Barakias a putot ni Iddo a kunana,
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying: —
2 “Nakapungtot unay ni Yahweh kadagiti ammayo!
Jehovah hath been much displeased with your fathers.
3 Ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Agsublikayo kaniak!”—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin!“—”ket agsubliak kadakayo!” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
But say thou to them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Turn ye to me, saith Jehovah of hosts, And I will turn to you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 Saanyo koma a tuladen dagiti ammayo nga imun-una a binagaan dagiti profeta, a kunada, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: isardengyon dagiti dakes a wagasyo ken dagiti nadangkes nga aramidyo!” Ngem saanda a dimngeg ken saandak nga impangag.”' Daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
Be ye not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried, saying, Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings! But they did not hear, nor hearken to me, saith Jehovah.
5 “Saan kadi nga awanen dagiti ammayo? Ken agtalinaed kadi dagiti profeta iti agnanayon?
Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
6 Ngem saan kadi a sinagaba dagiti ammayo ti subad iti panagsukirda kadagiti sasaok ken paglintegak nga imbilinko kadagiti adipenko a profeta? Nagbabawida ngarud ket kinunada, 'Kas iti pinanggep ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin nga aramiden kadatayo gapu kadagiti wagas ken tigtignaytayo, isu ti inaramidna kadatayo.'”
But my words and my statutes, Which I commanded my servants, the prophets, Did they not overtake your fathers? And they returned and said, Even as Jehovah of hosts thought To do to us according to our ways, and according to doings, So hath he done to us.
7 Iti maikadua a tawen a panagturay ni Dario, iti maika-dua pulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti maikasangapulo ket maysa a bulan, a bulan ti Sebat, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni profeta Zacarias a putot ni Barakias a putot ni Iddo a kunana
On the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 “Iti rabii, adtoy, nakitak ti maysa a lalaki a nakasakay iti nalabaga a kabalio, ket adda isuna kadagiti babassit a kayo nga addaan kadagiti napipintas a sabsabong nga adda iti tanap; ket adda iti likudanna dagiti nalabaga, alazan ken puraw a kabalio.”
I saw in the night, and behold, a man riding upon a red horse; and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the deep valley, and behind him were other horses, red, fox-colored, and white.
9 Kinunak “Apo, ania dagitoy a banbanag?” Ket kinuna ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ipakitakto kenka no ania dagitoy a banbanag.”
Then I said, What are these, my lord? And the angel that talked with me said to me, I will show thee what these are.
10 Ket simmungbat ti lalaki a nakatakder iti ayan dagiti babassit a kayo nga addaan kadagiti napipintas a sabsabong a kunana, “Dagitoy dagiti imbaon ni Yahweh nga agsursor iti entero a daga.”
And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to go to and fro through the earth.
11 Simmungbatda iti anghel ni Yahweh a nakatakder iti ayan dagiti babassit a kayo nga addaan kadagiti napipintas a sabsabong; kinunada kenkuana, “Sursursorenmin ti entero a daga; kitaem, agal-aliwaksay dagiti amin a daga.”
And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have gone to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth is still and at rest.
12 Ket simmungbat ti anghel ni Yahweh a kunana, “O Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, kasano kadi pay kabayag ti panangipakitam iti saanmo a panangngaasi iti Jerusalem ken kadagiti siudad ti Juda a nagsagaba iti pungtotmo iti pitopulo a tawen?”
Then the angel of Jehovah answered, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13 Simmungbat ni Yahweh iti anghel a nakisararita kaniak babaen kadagiti nasasayaat a sasao, dagiti sasao a pangliwliwa.
And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me good words and comfortable words.
14 Ket kinuna kaniak ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ipakaammom daytoy, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Kasta unay ti pakaseknak iti Jerusalem ken iti Sion!
And the angel who talked with me said to me: Proclaim thou and say, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great jealousy,
15 Ket napalalo ti pungtotko kadagiti nasion a nanam-ay; ta saanak unay a nakaunget iti Juda, ngem kinarkaro dagitoy a nasion ti panagsagaba ti Juda.”
And with great anger am I angry with the nations that are at ease; For I was but a little displeased, And they helped forward the affliction.
16 Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Nagsubliak iti Jerusalem nga addaan iti asi. Maipatakderto ti balayko iti daytoy”'—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin—”ket maibinnatto ti tali a pagrukod iti entero a Jerusalem!”
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: I return to Jerusalem with mercies; My house shall be built in it, Saith Jehovah of hosts, And a measuring-line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
17 Ipakaammom pay daytoy, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin- amin: 'Rumang-ayto manen dagiti siudadko, ket liwliwaento manen ni Yahweh ti Sion, ken piliennanto manen ti Jerusalem.”
Proclaim yet and say, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity, And Jehovah will yet comfort Zion, And will yet choose Jerusalem.
18 Kalpasanna, timmangadak ket nakakitaak iti uppat a sara!
Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, four horns.
19 Kinasaritak ti anghel a nakisarita kaniak, “Ania dagitoy?” Insungbatna kaniak, “Dagitoy dagiti sara a nangiwarawara iti Juda, Israel, ken Jerusalem.”
And I said to the angel that talked with me, What mean these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 Ket nangipakita kaniak ni Yahweh iti uppat a mammanday.
And Jehovah showed me four smiths.
21 Kinunak, “Ania ti umay aramiden dagitoy a tattao?” Insungbatna, “Dagitoy dagiti sara a nangiwarawara iti Juda, isu a nagsagabada iti nakaro. Ngem immay dagitoy a tattao tapno pagtalawen dagiti nasion, tapno parmekenda dagiti armada dagiti nasion a nangraut iti daga ti Juda tapno iwarawarada daytoy.”
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; and now these are come to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
