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.
When King Darius had been ruler for four years, on the fourth day of Kislev (which was the ninth month), the word of Yahweh 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 people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melek and their men to beg before the face of Yahweh.
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?
They spoke to the priests who were at the house of Yahweh of hosts and to the prophets; they said, “Should I mourn in the fifth month by means of a fast, as I have done these many years?”
4 Anante Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
So the word of Yahweh of hosts came to me, saying,
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?
“Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests and say, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, were you truly fasting for me?
6 Hagi ne'zane tinema ne'nazana tamagra'agu nentahita ne'nazafi?
When you ate and drank, did you not eat 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?
Were these not the same words that Yahweh proclaimed by the mouth of the former prophets, when you still inhabited Jerusalem and the surrounding cities in prosperity and were settled in the Negev, and the foothills to the west?'”
8 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Zekaraiana asami'ne.
The word of Yahweh came to Zechariah, saying,
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.
“Yahweh of hosts says this, 'Judge with true justice, covenant faithfulness, and mercy. Let each man do this for his brother.
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.
About the widow and orphan, the foreigner, and the poor person—do not oppress them, and let none of you plot any harm against another in your heart.'
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 pay attention and set their shoulders stubbornly. They stopped up their ears so they would not 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 rock so they would not hear the law or the words of Yahweh of hosts. He had sent these messages to the people by his Spirit in earlier times, by the mouth of the prophets. But the people refused to listen, so Yahweh of hosts was very angry with them.
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.
It happened that when he called, they did not listen. In the same way,” said Yahweh of hosts, “they will call out to me, but I will not listen.
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.
For I will scatter them with a whirlwind to all the nations that they have not seen, and the land will be desolate after them. For no one will pass through the land or return to it since the people have made their delightful land into a wasteland.”
