< Zakaria 12 >

1 Teny faminaniana avy tamin’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny Isiraely. Hoy Jehovah, Izay mamelatra ny lanitra sy manao ny fanorenan’ ny tany ary mamorona ny fanahin’ ny olona ao anatiny:
The prophecy of the word of the Lord concerning Israel, Saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him:
2 Indro, Izaho hanao an’ i Jerosalema ho kapoaka mampiraikiraiky ho an’ ny firenena rehetra manodidina; ary ny Joda koa hiharan’ izany ny hanaovana fahirano an’ i Jerosalema.
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of confusion unto all the people round about; and also against Judah, who will have to be at the siege against Jerusalem.
3 Ary amin’ izany andro izany Jerosalema dia hataoko vato mavesatra ho an’ ny ny firenena rehetra, ka haràtra dia haràtra izay rehetra mivesatra azy; ary ho tafangona hamely azy ny firenena rehetra amin’ ny tany.
And it shall come to pass on that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the people; all that burden themselves with it shall be severely cut: yet then will be gathered together against it all the nations of the earth.
4 Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, dia hamely ny soavaly amin’ ny fahaverezan-kevitra Aho, ary ny mpitaingina azy amin’ ny fahadalana, hampihiratra ny masoko amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda Aho ary hamely ny soavaly rehetra izay an’ ny firenena amin’ ny fahajambana.
On that day, saith the Lord, will I smite every horse with dizziness, and his rider with madness; but over the house of Judah will I open my eyes, while I will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 Ary ireo lohany amin’ ny firenen’ i Joda dia hanao anakampo hoe: Ny mponina any Jerosalema dia heriko ao amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamaniny.
And the chiefs of Judah will say in their heart, A strong support for me are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts their God.
6 Amin’ izany andro izany ireo lohany amin’ ny firenen’ i Joda dia hataoko tahaka ny fatana mirehitra eny amin’ ny hazo sy tahaka ny fanilo mirehitra eny amin’ ny amboara, ka handevona ny firenena rehetra manodidina amin’ ny ankavanana sy ny ankavia izy; ary Jerosalema dia mbola hiorina amin’ ny fitoerany ihany, dia any Jerosalema.
On that day will I make the chiefs of Judah like a fire-hearth among the wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the people round about; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 Ary hovonjen’ i Jehovah aloha ny lain’ ny Joda, mba tsy hisandratra ambonin’ ny Joda intsony ny voninahitry ny taranak’ i Davida sy ny voninahitry ny mponina any Jerosalema.
The Lord also will save the tents of Judah first: in order that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become boastful over Judah.
8 Amin’ izany andro izany dia harovan’ i Jehovah ny mponina any Jerosalema; ary izay mila ho reraka ao aminy aza amin’ izany andro izany dia ho tahaka an’ i Davida; ary ny taranak’ i Davida ho tahaka an’ Andriamanitra, dia tahaka Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah eo anoloany.
On that day will the Lord be a shield around the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and the feeblest among them shall be on that day like David; and the house of David shall be like divine beings, like an angel of the Lord before them.
9 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hitady handringana ny jentilisa rehetra izay avy hamely an’ i Jerosalema Aho.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that are come against Jerusalem.
10 Ary haidiko amin’ ny taranak’ i Davida sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema ny fanahin’ ny fahasoavana sy ny fifonana, ka hijery Ahy Izay nolefoniny izy, ary hisaona Azy toy ny fisaonana zanakalahy tokana izy sady halahelo Azy toy ny fahalahelovan’ ny olona ny lahimatoany.
But I will pour out over the house of David, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they will look up toward me [for every one] whom they have thrust through, and they will lament for him, as one lamenteth for an only son, and weep bitterly for him, as one weepeth bitterly for the first-born.
11 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy fisaonana lehibe any Jerosalema toy ny fisaonana tao Hadadrimona eo amin’ ny lohasaha Megido.
On that day will the lamentation be great in Jerusalem, like the lamentation at Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 Ary hisaona mitsitokantokana ny tany, samy isam-pianakaviana avy: ny fianakavian’ i Davida mitokana, ary ny vadin’ ireo mitokana; ny fianakavian’ i Natana mitokana, ary ny vadin’ ireo mitokana;
And the land will mourn, every family apart by itself: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 ny fianakavian’ ny taranak’ i Levy mitokana, ary ny vadin’ ireo mitokana; ny fianakavian’ i Simey mitokana, ary ny vadin’ ireo mitokana;
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shim'i apart, and their wives apart;
14 ny fianakaviana sisa rehetra mitokana isam-pianakaviana, ary ny vadin’ ireo mitokana.
All the families that remain, every family apart by itself, and their wives apart.
