Zechariah 9

1 Pa inge kas in sulkakinyuk sin LEUM GOD: El orala tari sie sap fulat lal in kalyei acn Hadrach ac siti Damascus. Tia sruf lun Israel mukena pa ma lun LEUM GOD, a siti fulat se lun acn Syria ma pac lal.

The prophecy of the word of Jehovah is against the land of Hadrach, And upon Damascus shall it come down, For the eye of Jehovah is over man, And over all the tribes of Israel,

2 Acn Hamath, su masrol nu Hadrach, oayapa siti lun Tyre ac Sidon wi kain in usrnguk nukewa yorolos, ma pac lal.

And against Hamath, which bordereth thereon, And Tyre and Sidon, though she be very wise.

3 Acn Tyre musaela mwe akkeye pot ku lal, ac yohk pac silver ac gold lal, oru pilasr oana puk weacn uh.

Though Tyre hath built her a fortress, And hath heaped up silver as dust, And fine gold as the mire of the streets,

4 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El ac fah eisla ma inge nukewa. El ac fah sisla mwe kasrup lun acn we nu in meoa uh, ac siti sac ac fah firirla nu infohk uh.

Behold, the Lord will cast her out, And will smite her power into the sea, And she shall be devoured by fire.

5 Siti Ashkelon ac fah liye ma inge ac sangeng. Ac siti Gaza ac fah liye ac keok ke waiok lulap. Acn Ekron ac fah liye pac, ac ma nukewa el finsrak nu kac ac wanginla nufon. Tokosra lun Gaza ac fah anwuki, ac Ashkelon ac fah wanginla mwet we.

Askelon shall see it and fear, Gaza also shall see and tremble, And Ekron, because her expectation shall be put to shame. The king shall perish from Gaza, And Askelon shall not be inhabited.

6 Kain in tafun mwet puspis fah muta in Ashdod. LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah akpusiselyela mwet inse fulat lun acn Philistia inge.

And strangers shall dwell in Ashdod, And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

7 Elos ac tia sifil kang ikwa ma srakna srahsra, ku kutena kain mwe mongo saya ma tia lela in mongo. Mwet nukewa ma painmoulla uh ac fah wela mwet luk, ac elos fah oana sie sou in sruf lun Judah. Ekron ac fah wela pac mwet luk, oana ke mwet Jebus elos tuh oru meet ah.

And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, And his abominations from between his teeth; And even he shall be left for our God, And he shall be as a governor in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.

8 Nga fah liyaung acn sik, ac karingin tuh mwet mweun in tia fahsr sasla fin acn uh. Nga ac fah tia lela mwet kol sulallal in sifilpa akkeokye mwet luk. Nga liye tari lupan keok lun mwet luk.

And I will encamp about my house, as a garrison, Against him that passeth by and him that returneth, And no oppressor shall pass through them any more; For now have I seen with my own eyes.

9 Enganak! Kowos mwet Zion, enganak! Sasa ke engan, kowos mwet Jerusalem! Liye, tokosra lowos el tuku nu yuruwos! El tuku ke ku lulap ac kutangla, Tusruktu el pusisel ac el muta fin soko donkey — Aok, fin soko donkey fusr.

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion, Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy king cometh to thee; He is just and victorious, Mild, and riding upon an ass, Even upon a colt, the foal of an ass.

10 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah sisla chariot in mweun liki Israel, Ac eisla horse uh liki Jerusalem; Mwe pisr su orekmakinyuk ke mweun ac fah kunausyukla. Tokosra lowos el ac fah orek misla inmasrlon mutunfacl; El fah leumi liki sie meoa nu ke sie pac meoa, Mutawauk Infacl Euphrates lac nwe ke saflaiyen faclu.”

And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem; And the battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace to the nations; And his dominion shall be from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.

11 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke sripen wuleang luk yuruwos, Su tuh akkeyeyukla ke srah lun mwe kisa uh, Nga fah aksukosokye mwet lowos — Liki luf lun sruoh, su oana sie lufin kof ma wangin kof loac.

As for thee also, on account of thy blood-sealed covenant, I will set thy prisoners free from the pit wherein is no water.

12 Foloko, kowos mwet sruoh su oasr finsrak yoro in pacl inge uh; Foloko nu yen suwos, yen kowos ac moul in misla we. Inge nga fahk nu suwos tuh nga fah sifil folokin nu suwos mwe insewowo pacl luo yohk liki, Ke sripen ma nukewa kowos tuh keok kac.

Return ye to the strong-hold, ye prisoners of hope! Even this day do I declare it: I will restore double unto thee.

13 Nga fah orekmakin Judah oana sie mwe pisr nutin sie mwet mweun, Ac Israel oana soko sukan pisr. Nga fah orekmakin mwet mukul in Zion oana sie cutlass, In mweuni mwet Greece.”

For I will bend Judah as a bow for myself; As a bow will I extend Ephraim to the utmost; And I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, Against thy sons, O Greece, And make thee as the sword of a mighty man.

14 LEUM GOD El ac fah sikyak lucng liki mwet lal, Ac pisrik sukan pisr natul oana sarom uh. LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fah ukya mwe ukuk; El ac fah tuku in ku lal in sie paka liki acn eir.

And Jehovah shall be seen over them. And his arrow shall go forth as lightning; And the Lord Jehovah shall blow the trumpet, And shall go forth with whirlwinds of the South.

15 LEUM GOD Kulana El ac fah loangela mwet lal, Ac elos ac fah kunausla mwet lokoalok lalos. Elos ac fah sasa in mweun oana mwet sruhi uh, Ac elos fah aksororyela srahn mwet lokoalok lalos. Ac srah uh ac fah soror oana srah in sie mwe kisa, Su okwoki nu fin loang uh in sie pol!

Jehovah of hosts shall defend them; And they shall devour, and trample under feet the sling-stones, And they shall drink, and shout as through wine, And they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.

16 Ke len sac ac tuku uh, LEUM GOD El ac fah molela mwet lal, Oana ke sie mwet shepherd el molela un kosro natul liki mwe sensen uh. Elos ac fah saromrom in acn sel Oana wek saok ke sie tefuro.

And Jehovah, their God, shall save them in that day; He will save his people as a flock; For they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifting themselves up in his land.

17 Ac fuka lupan wo ac oasku lun acn sac! Mwet fusr ac fah kapak ac fokokoi ke wheat ac wain lun acn we.

How great shall be their prosperity, and how great their beauty! Corn shall make the young men thrive, and new wire the maidens.
