Zekraia Sekaraia 1
1 Dairusi'ma mago kafuma kinima mani vagareteno namba 2 kafuma unemanigeno'a, ana kafumofona 8ti ikantera Ra Anumzamo'a Berekia nemofo, Ido negeho Zekaraiana amanage huno nanekea asami'ne,
[I am] Zechariah, a prophet, the son of Berekiah and grandson of Iddo. When Darius [had been the emperor of Persia] for almost two years, during November [of that year], Yahweh gave me this message:
2 Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na kagehemokizmia tusi'a narimpa ahezmante'noe.
“I was very angry with your ancestors.
3 E'ina hu'negu amanage hunka vahetmina zamasamio, Hihamu'ane Ra Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, Ete rukrahe huta Nagrite enkena, Nagra Hihamuane Anumzamo'na ete rukrahe hu'na tamagritera va'neno, huno Hihamunentake Ra Anumzamo'a nehie.
So tell this to the people: [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say, ‘Return to me, and [if you do that], I will [help] you again.
4 Ko'ma tamagehe'mozama hu'naza zana osiho. Hagi tamagehemo'zama kefo zamavu'zmavazama nehazage'za ko'ma mani'za e'naza kasnampa vahe'mo'zama huama hu'za, Hihamunentake Ra Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, menina kefo avu'ava zama nehaza zana atreta tamagu'a rukrahe hiho hu'za hunazanagi, ana keni'a antahi'za zamagu'a rukrahera osu'naze, huno Ra Anumzamo'a nehie.
Do not be like your ancestors. [Other] prophets, who have now died, [continually] proclaimed to your ancestors that they should stop doing the evil things that they were continually doing. But they refused to pay attention to what I said.
5 Tamagehe'za menina iga mani'naze? Hagi kasnampa vahe'mo'za ofri mani vava hu'za nevazafi?
Your ancestors [have died and are now in their graves] [RHQ]. And the prophets did not [RHQ] live forever, [either].
6 Hianagi maka nanekema eri'za vaheni'a kasnampa vahepima huvazi'nama hu'noa kemo'a, tamagehe'mofona zamagate ore'neanki, Nagrama hu'noa kante anteno ana zana efore hu'ne. E'inama higeno'a zamagu'a rukrahe nehu'za amanage hu'naze. Na'anoma Monafinka Sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzantegati'ma erisunema huta hu'nona zana erune. Agra nazano huramantegahuema huno'ma hu'nea zana hurante'ne.
But I punished [IDM] [the people for disobeying] the commands and the decrees which I commanded my servants the prophets [to tell to the people]. Then they (repented/turned away from their evil behavior) and said, ‘The Commander of the armies of angels has done to us what we deserved for our evil behavior, just like he said that he would do.’”
7 Hagi Dairusi'ma mago kafuma kinima manivagareteno namba 2 kafuma nemanigeno, 11ni ikamofona 24 zupa Ra Anumzamo'a mago'ane Kasnampa ne' Berekia nemofo, Ido negeho Zekaraia'na amanage huno kea nasami'ne,
[Three months later], on February 15, Yahweh gave [another] message to me.
8 Kenagera ava'nagnaza negogeno, mago krahopi miteli zafarami me'nefi koranke hosi afumo'a oti'negeno, ana hosi afu agumpina mago ne' mani'nege'na ke'noe. Hagi ana ne'mofo amefira koranke'ma, osapake'ene efeke hosi afutami mani'nazage'na ke'noe.
During the night [I had a vision. In the vision] I saw an [angel] who was on a red horse. He was in a narrow valley among some myrtle trees. Behind him were [angels on] red, brown, and white horses.
9 Anazama nege'na nagri'enema nanekema nehia ankerona amanage hu'na antahige'noe, Ranimoka, ama zana nazane? Anagema hugeno'a nagri'enema nanekema nehia ankeromo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, E'i zana nazampi, nagra kaveri hugahue huno hu'ne.
I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Sir, who are those [angels on the horses]?” He replied, “I will show you who they are.”
10 Hagi miteli zafaramimofo amu'nompi mani'nea ne'mo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne, Ama nagara Ra Anumzamo'a ama mopafima vano huta na'a fore nehifi keho huno'ma huzmante'nea nagare.
Then the [angel] who had been under the myrtle trees explained. [He said, ] “They are the [angels] whom Yahweh sent [to (patrol/see what is happening in)] the [entire] world.”
11 Anage higeno hosi agumpima mani'naza naga'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo ankeroma miteli zafa amu'nompima oti'nea nera amanage hu'za asami'naze, Ama mopafima vanoma huta konana, mika ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za fru hu'za akohe'za mani'naze.
Then those angels reported to the angel who was [there] among the myrtle trees, “We have traveled throughout the world, and we have found out that [the army of the emperor of Persia has conquered nations] throughout the world, [and that] those nations are now (helpless/unable to resist his army).”
12 Anagema higeno'a Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage hu'ne, Monafi sondia vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamoka nama'a zupa Jerusalemi kumaku'ene Juda mopafima me'nea rankumataminkura kasunkura huozmante krimpa ahezmantenka vugahane? Karimpama ahezmantenkama e'nanana hago 70'a kafu evie.
Then the angel asked, “Commander of the armies of angels, how long will you continue to not be merciful to Jerusalem and the [other] towns in Judah? You have been angry with them for 70 years!”
13 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a asunku hunteno fru kefinti, nagri'enema keagama nehia ankerona kenona hunte'ne.
[So] Yahweh spoke kindly to the angel who had talked to me, saying things that comforted/encouraged him.
14 Ana hutegeno nagri'enema keagama hu'nea ankeromo'a amanage hu'ne, Monafinka sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka ranke hunka huama huo. Jerusalemi kumaku'gu'ene Saioni kumaku'enena tusiza hu'na navesia nentoe.
Then the angel who had been talking with me said to me, “Proclaim this [to the people of Jerusalem]: The Commander of the armies of angels says that he is very concerned about [the people who live on] Zion [Hill] and [in the other parts of] Jerusalem.
15 Hagi kokankoka vahe'ma zamarimpa fruma hu'za nemani'za vahekura, tusi narimpa ahenezmantoe. Na'ankure osi'ama vaheni'ama narimpama ahezmantoge'za, zamagra razampi zamazeri haviza nehaze.
But he is very angry with the nations that are [proud and feel] safe. He was only a little bit angry [with the people of Judah], but [he is very angry with the surrounding nations because] they caused [the people of Judah to experience] complete disaster.
16 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, Nagra nasunku hunezmante'na ete rukrahe hu'na Jerusalemi oankino, Nagri nona ana kumapina ete eri so'e hu'za ki'nageno, mesarimima nehaza nofinu Jerusalemi kumara ante'za ke'za mesarimia hugahaze, huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
Therefore, this is what he says: ‘I will again be merciful to [the people of] Jerusalem, and they will rebuild my temple. Men will measure [all the land in] the city [before they start rebuilding the houses].’
17 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka ete mago'ene ranke hunka huama huo, Nagri rankuma'mo'a ete mago'ane mika zampina knare huno hageno marerinigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a mago'ane Saionia azeri so'e nehuno, nagri rankumare huno Jerusalemia huhamprigahie.
The Commander of the armies of angels [also] said this: ‘Tell the people that [the people in] my towns [in Judah] will soon be very prosperous again, and I will encourage [the people of] Jerusalem, and their city will again be my chosen [city].’”
18 Anante nagra kesga hu'na navuga koana, 4'a pazive me'nege'na ke'noe.
Then I looked up, and I saw in front of me four [animal] horns.
19 Nagranema keaga nehia ankero nera anante amanage hu'na antahige'noe. Ama zana nazane hu'na antahigogeno, amanage huno kenona hu'ne, E'i pazivetamina Juda vahe'ene, Israeli vahe'ene, Jerusalemi vahe'enema zamahe panani'ma hazage'za panani'ma hu'za fre'naza pazivetamine hu'ne.
I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “What are those [horns]?” He replied, “Those horns [represent the armies that] forced [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah and Israel to go [to other countries].”
20 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a 4'a vahetmima ainireti'ma keonke zama troma nehaza vahetmina naveri hu'ne.
Then Yahweh showed me four (craftsmen/men who make things from metal).
21 Anante nagra antahige'na, ama vahe'zaga zamagra na'a hunaku neaze hu'na antahigogeno, amanage hu'ne. Ama 4'a pazivemo'za Juda vahera zamahe panani hazage'za panani hu'za fre'naze. Hianagi menima neaza vahe'mo'za ama ana 4'a pazivetamina, e'i 4'a kumate vahetaminki'za zamazeri zamagogonefe'za zamazeri haviza hunaku neaze.
I asked, “What are those men coming to do?” He replied, “[The armies represented by] those horns caused [the people of] Judah to be scattered, with the result that they suffered greatly. But the craftsmen have come to cause those who attacked [IDM] Judah to be terrified and crushed.”
