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.
An oracle: The message of the Lord concerns the land of Hadrach, it rests upon Damascus. For the capital of Aram belongs to the Lord, as the tribes of Israel do,
2 Acn Hamath, su masrol nu Hadrach, oayapa siti lun Tyre ac Sidon wi kain in usrnguk nukewa yorolos, ma pac lal.
and also Hamath which borders on it. Tyre and Sidon, for all their wisdom.
3 Acn Tyre musaela mwe akkeye pot ku lal, ac yohk pac silver ac gold lal, oru pilasr oana puk weacn uh.
Tyre built for herself a fortress. Heaped up silver as dust, and gold like the dirt 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.
But now the Lord will dispossess her, cast down her rampart into the sea. She will be consumed in 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.
Ashkelon will see and fear, and Gaza writhe in anguish, Ekron, also for her hope will be put to shame. The king will perish from Gaza, Ashkelon will remain uninhabited.
6 Kain in tafun mwet puspis fah muta in Ashdod. LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah akpusiselyela mwet inse fulat lun acn Philistia inge.
A foreign people will settle in Ashdod, and I will humble 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.
I will take their blood from their mouth, and their abominations from between their teeth. They also will be a remnant for our God, like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
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.
But I will encamp as a guard about my house, so that none will pass through or return, and no oppressor will pass through them again, for now I have 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 aloud, daughter of Jerusalem! Look, your king comes to you. Vindicated and victorious is he, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
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.”
He will cut off chariots from Ephraim, and war horses from Jerusalem. The battle bow will be cut off, and he will speak peace to the nations. His rule will be from sea to sea, 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.
And you, too – because of your blood covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the waterless pit.
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.
To the stronghold will the prisoners of hope return. This day I declare, I will restore double to you.
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 have bent Judah to me, like a bow which I have filled with Ephraim like an arrow. I will urge your sons, Zion, against the sons of Greece, I will make you like the sword of a hero.
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.
Then the Lord will be seen above them and his arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord will blow a blast upon a trumpet, and travel on the 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!
The Lord of hosts will defend them. They will devour and tread down the slingstones, they will drink their blood like wine, they will be full like a bowl, like the crevices 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 the Lord their God will save them on that day, as the flock of his people, as the jewel of a crown shining 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 good and how beautiful will it be! Corn will make the young men flourish and new wine the young women!
