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,
This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning Israel—a declaration of Yahweh, who stretched out the skies and laid the foundation of the earth, who fashions the spirit of mankind within man,
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.
“See, I am about to make Jerusalem into a cup causing all the peoples surrounding her to stagger about. It will also be like that for Judah during 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.
On that day, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. Anyone trying to lift that stone will hurt himself very much, and all the nations of the earth will gather against that city.
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.
On that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will strike every horse with confusion and its rider with madness. Over the house of Judah I will open my eyes, but every horse of the peoples I will 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.’
Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are our strength because of Yahweh 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.
On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like firepots among wood and like a flaming torch among standing grain, for they will consume all the surrounding peoples on their right and on their left. Jerusalem will again live in her own place.”
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.
Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and the honor of those who live in Jerusalem may not be greater than the rest of Judah.
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.
On that day Yahweh will be the defender of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on that day those who are weak among them will be like David, while the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh in front of them.
9 In pacl sac nga fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa su srike in mweuni Jerusalem.
“On that day that I will begin to destroy all the nations that come 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.
But I will pour out a spirit of compassion and pleading on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so they will look on me, the one they have pierced. They will mourn for me, as one mourns for an only son; they will bitterly lament for him like those who lament the death of a firstborn son.
11 In pacl sac asor in acn Jerusalem ac fah yohk oana asor kacl Hadad Rimmon in acn tupasrpasr lun Megiddo.
On that day the laments in Jerusalem will be like the laments at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
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;
The land will mourn, each clan separate from other clans. The clan of the house of David will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the house of Nathan will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.
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 clan of the house of Levi will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the Shimeites will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.
14 Ac sou nukewa su lula, kais sie fah sifacna oru asor la, ac mutan kialos fah sifacna oru pac asor lalos.”
Every clan of the remaining clans—each clan will be separate and the wives will be separate from the men.”
