Zekraia Sekaraia 7
1 Hagi Dairusi'ma kinima mani'neno kegavama huno e'neana 4'a kafu evutegeno 9ni ikana Kislevie hu'za nehaza ikamofona 4 kna zupa Ra Anumzamo'a Zekaraia'na amanage huno nasmi'ne.
In the fourth year of the reign of King Darius, on the fourth day of Chislev, the ninth month, the message of the Lord came to Zechariah.
2 Hagi Beteli kumate vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avesizanku antahige'za kehogu, Sareza'ma, Regem-melekine, mago'a vahetaminena huzmante'naze.
The city of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech and their men, to entreat the favour of the Lord,
3 Zamagra e'za Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamofo nompima eri'zama eneriza kasnampa vahe'ene pristi vahetaminena amanage hu'za eme zamantahigegahaze. Rama'a kafuzagefima zavi krafagema nehuta, ne'zama a'o huta nunamuma hutama e'nonaza huta, 5fu ikampina zavi krafa nehuta ne'zana a'o huta nunamuna huta vugahuno?
and to ask the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts, and the prophets ‘Should I continue to mourn in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done for many years?’
4 Anante Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
Then this message of the Lord of hosts came to me:
5 Maka ama mopafi vahe'ene pristi vahetaminena amanage hunka zamantahigo, tamagra 70'a kafufima 5fu ikante'ene 7ni ikante'enema ne'zama a'o huta zavi krafa nehuta, nunamuma hu'nazana tamage huta Nagrite ne'zana a'o huta nunamuna hu'nazafi?
Tell all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, for these seventy years, did you really fast for me?
6 Hagi ne'zane tinema ne'nazana tamagra'agu nentahita ne'nazafi?
When you eat and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 Hagi ama ana nanekea Jerusalemi kumapima knare nomani'zante mani'nazageno, ana tavaonte'ma me'nea kumatmimpine sauti kazigama me'nea mopafi Negevi vahe'mo'zama mani vite'zama mani'nageno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a ko'ma mani'naza kasanampa vahetamimpina huvazino, ama ana nanekea ontamasami'neo?
Wasn’t it this which the Lord proclaimed by the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and prosperous, and her towns surrounding her and the Negreb and the Shephelah were inhabited?’
8 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Zekaraiana asami'ne.
The Lord gave this message to Zechariah:
9 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, knare huta maka vahe knazana refko nehuta, mago mago'mota asunku ohunte ahunte nehuta knare avu'ava ohunte ahunte hiho.
The Lord of hosts says, execute true judgments. Show kindness and mercy to each other.
10 Ana nehuta kento a'nene, megusa mofavreramine, ruregati'ma tamagri'enema emani'naza vahe'ene, zamunte omane vahe'enena knazana zamita zamazeri havizana nosuta, tamagra ramagra ontahi haviza antahi havizana huta tamazeri haviza osiho.
Do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the resident foreigner or the poor. Let none of you devise evil against another in your hearts.
11 Hianagi zamagra ana kema antahizankura zamavaresra nehu'za, zamagu'a eri hankaveti'naze. Ana nanekema antahizankura zamefi hunemi'za, zamagesa renkanire'naze.
But they refused to listen, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears so they wouldn’t hear.
12 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'ma Avamu'afima korapa'ma mani'naza kasnampa vahete'ma atregeno'ma e'nea nanekea zamagu'amo'a havegna huno hankaveti'neankiza ontahi'naze. E'ina hu'negu Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a tusi'a arimpa ahezmante'ne.
They made their hearts as hard as stone so they wouldn’t accept the teaching and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent by his spirit through the earlier prophets. Great was the anger of the Lord of hosts:
13 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a anage hu'ne, Nagrama kema nehuge'za, nagri nanekea ontahi'nazanki'na, zamagrama kema hanage'na, zamagri nanekea ontahigahue huno hu'ne.
I called and they would not hear, so they call and I do not hear, says the Lord of hosts.
14 Ana nehu'na hankro zahomo kagikagi huno kugusopa eri hareankna hu'na zamazeri atrenuge'za, antahiza keza osu'nesaza mopafi umani emani hugahaze. Ana hanugeno atre'zama vanaza mopamo'a, haviza huno vahe omani ka'ma mopa megahie.
I scattered them by a whirlwind out among nations unknown to them. The land was left desolate behind them, with no one crossing or returning, for they made the pleasant land a desolation.
