< Zechariah 12 >

1 Pweng se inge ma sin LEUM GOD me ke acn Israel, LEUM GOD su asroelik kusrao, orala faclu, ac sang moul nu sin mwet uh. El fahk,
The burden of a word of YHWH on Israel. A declaration of YHWH, Stretching out the heavens, and founding earth, And forming the spirit of man in his midst:
2 “Nga fah oru acn Jerusalem in oana sie cup in wain. Mutanfahl su raunella elos ac fah nim kac ac tukulkul oana mwet sruhi. Ac ke elos ac utyak ac raunela in mweuni acn Jerusalem, na siti lula lun Judah nukewa ac fah rauniyukla pac.
“Behold, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling To all the surrounding peoples, And it is also against Judah, In the siege against Jerusalem.
3 Tusruktu in pacl sac, nga ac fah oru tuh acn Jerusalem in oana sie eot toasr — kutena mutunfacl su srike in srukak eot sac ac fah sun ongoiya lulap. Mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu ac fah toeni in mweunel.
And it has come to pass in that day, I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth.
4 In pacl sac nga ac fah aklangingye horse natulos nukewa, ac oru tuh mwet kasrusr fin horse uh in wella. Nga ac karingin mwet Judah, tusruktu nga fah konela mutun horse nutin mwet lokoalok lalos.
In that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I strike every horse with astonishment, And its rider with madness, And on the house of Judah I open My eyes, And every horse of the peoples I strike with blindness.
5 Na sou lulap lun Judah fah fahk nu selos sifacna, ‘LEUM GOD Kulana El sang ku lal nu sin mwet lal su muta Jerusalem.’
And leaders of Judah have said in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [are] strength to me, In YHWH of Hosts their God.
6 “Ac in pacl sac nga fah oru sou lulap lun Judah in oana sie e lulap insak uh, ku in sie ima in wheat ma matula — elos ac fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa ma raunelosyak. Ac mwet Jerusalem ac fah muta na misla in siti uh.
In that day I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have consumed—on the right and on the left—all the surrounding peoples, And Jerusalem has again inhabited her place in Jerusalem.
7 “Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sang kutangla nu sin mwet mweun lun Judah meet, tuh akfulat ma fwilin tulik natul David oayapa akfulat ma mwet muta Jerusalem uh ac eis, fah tia yohk liki ma acn saya lun Judah ac eis.
And YHWH has saved the tents of Judah first, So that the beauty of the house of David does not become great against Judah, And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem.
8 Ke pacl sac LEUM GOD El ac fah loango mwet su muta in Jerusalem, ac oru tuh finne mwet munas oemeet inmasrlolos in fah ku oana kuiyal David meet. Fwilin tulik natul David ac fah kololos oana lipufan lun LEUM GOD, aok, oana God sifacna.
In that day YHWH covers over the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them has been in that day as David, And the house of David as God—As the Messenger of YHWH—before them.
9 In pacl sac nga fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa su srike in mweuni Jerusalem.
And it has come to pass in that day, I seek to destroy all the nations Who are coming in against Jerusalem,
10 “Nga fah nwakla fwilin tulik natul David ac mwet saya in acn Jerusalem ke ngunin pakoten ac ngunin pre. Elos ac fah ngetang liye el su elos tuh fakisya ah misa, ac elos fah asor kacl oana elos su asor ke tulik sefanna natu. Elos fah arulana tungi, oana elos su wounse mukul natu uh misa.
And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, The Spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked to Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over Him, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for Him, Like a bitterness over the firstborn.
11 In pacl sac asor in acn Jerusalem ac fah yohk oana asor kacl Hadad Rimmon in acn tupasrpasr lun Megiddo.
In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the Valley of Megiddon,
12 Mwet in facl sac ac fah srisrielik in oru asor lalos: mukul in sou lal David ac fah sifacna oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos; mukul in sou lal Nathan fah sifacna oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos;
And the land has mourned—every family apart, The family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women apart;
13 mukul in sou lal Levi fah sifacna oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos; ac mukul in sou lal Shimei fah oru asor lalos, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos.
The family of the house of Levi apart, And their women apart; The family of Shimei apart, And their women apart,
14 Ac sou nukewa su lula, kais sie fah sifacna oru asor la, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos.”
All the families that are left, Every family apart, and their women apart!”
