< 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:
An oracle. This is the message of the Lord about Israel. The Lord who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the human spirit within people says:
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.
Look! I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness for all the surrounding peoples. There will be a siege of 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.
On that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone to be lifted up by all the peoples. All who lift it up will surely hurt themselves! And all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
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, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness. But over the house of Judah I will keep watch, though I strike every horse belonging to the peoples 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 chieftains of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The strength of the inhabitants is in 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.
In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire in the woods, like a torch among sheaves, they will devour right and left all the surrounding peoples. But Jerusalem will abide on its own site.
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.
And the Lord will first give victory to the tents of Judah, so that the glory of the house of David, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not exalted above 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.
In that day the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the feeblest among them will in that day be like David, and the house of David like God, like the messenger of the Lord before them.
9 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hitady handringana ny jentilisa rehetra izay avy hamely an’ i Jerosalema Aho.
And in that day I will seek to destroy all the nations who have come up 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.
And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of pity and compassion. They will look on him whom they have pierced and they will lament for him as one laments for an only son. They will bitterly grieve for him as one grieves for the firstborn.
11 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy fisaonana lehibe any Jerosalema toy ny fisaonana tao Hadadrimona eo amin’ ny lohasaha Megido.
In that day mourning will be as great in Jerusalem as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
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, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves, and the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves,
13 ny fianakavian’ ny taranak’ i Levy mitokana, ary ny vadin’ ireo mitokana; ny fianakavian’ i Simey mitokana, ary ny vadin’ ireo mitokana;
and the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves, the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves,
14 ny fianakaviana sisa rehetra mitokana isam-pianakaviana, ary ny vadin’ ireo mitokana.
and all the families who are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
