Zakaria 9

1 Teny faminaniana avy tamin’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny loza hanjo ny tany Hadraka, Ary Damaskosy no hiharany ― Fa ny mason’ i Jehovah mandinika ny olombelona Mbamin’ ny firenena rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely ―

A word of the Lord: The Lord has come to the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is his resting-place: for the towns of Aram are the Lord's,

2 Sy Hamata koa, izay mifanolotra aminy, Ary Tyro sy Sidona koa, satria hendry izy.

As well as Hamath, which is by its limit, and Tyre and Zidon, because they are very wise.

3 Ary Tyro nanao manda mafy ho azy Ka nanangona volafotsy hoatra ny vovoka Sy volamena tsara hoatra ny fotaka eny an-dalambe.

And Tyre made for herself a strong place, and got together silver like dust and the best gold like the earth of the streets.

4 Indro, hofoanan’ ny Tompo ny fananany, Sady hasiany koa ny heriny ao amin’ ny ranomasina; Ary ny tenany ho levon’ ny afo.

See, the Lord will take away her heritage, overturning her power in the sea; and she will be burned up with fire.

5 Askelona hahita izany ka ho raiki-tahotra, Gaza koa, ka ho toran-kovitra indrindra, Ary Ekrona, fa ho tonga henatra ny fanantenany; Tsy hisy mpanjaka intsony ao Gaza, Ary Askelona tsy honenana.

Ashkelon will see it with fear, and Gaza, bent with pain; and Ekron, for her hope will be shamed: and the king will be cut off from Gaza, and Ashkelon will be unpeopled.

6 Zazasary no ho mpanjaka ao Asdoda, Ary hofoanako ny reharehan’ ny Filistina.

And a mixed people will be living in Ashdod, and I will have the pride of the Philistines cut off.

7 Hesoriko eny am-bavany ny ràny, Sy ny fahavetavetany tsy ho eny anelanelan’ ny nifiny; Ary izy koa ho sisa ho an’ Andriamanitsika Sy ho toy ny lohany amin’ ny firenen’ i Joda, Ary Ekrona ho toy ny Jebosita.

And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.

8 Ary hitoby Aho hiaro ny tranoko noho ny miaramila betsaka, Dia noho izay mandroso sy miverina; Ary tsy hisy mpampahory handeha hamaky eo aminy intsony, Fa ankehitriny dia efa hitan’ ny masoko.

And I will put my forces in position round my house, so that there may be no coming and going: and no cruel master will again go through them: for now I have seen his trouble.

9 Mifalia indrindra, ry Ziona zanakavavy; Manaova feo fifaliana, ry Jerosalema zanakavavy; Indro, ny Mpanjakanao avy ho anao; Marina Izy sady manam-pamonjena, Malemy fanahy sady mitaingina boriky Dia zana-boriky tanora.

Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.

10 Ary hofoanako tsy hisy kalesy intsony Efraima, Na soavaly any Jerosalema, Hofoanana koa ny tsipìka fiadiana, Ary hiteny fiadanana amin’ ny jentilisa Izy; Ny fanapahany dia hatramin’ ny ranomasina ka hatramin’ ny ranomasina Ary hatramin’ ny Ony ka hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany.

And he will have the war-carriage cut off from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be cut off: and he will say words of peace to the nations: and his rule will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

11 Ny aminao koa, noho ny ran’ ny fanekena taminao No efa namoahako ny mpifatotrao avy tao an-davaka tsy misy rano.

And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.

12 Miverena ho amin’ ny fiarovana mafy, ianareo mpifatotra manana ny fanantenana! Anio no hanambarako hoe: Hanonitra roa heny ho anao Aho.

And they will come back to you, O daughter of Zion, as prisoners of hope: today I say to you that I will give you back twice as much;

13 Fa nohenjaniko ho Ahy Joda, Efraima nataoko zana-tsipìka; Ary hotairiko ny zanakao, ry Ziona, hiady amin’ ny zanakao, ry Grisia, Ary hataoko toy ny sabatry ny lehilahy mahery ianao,

For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.

14 Ary Jehovah hiseho ao aminy, Ka handeha toy ny helatra ny zana-tsipìkany, Jehovah Tompo hitsoka anjomara Ka handeha amin’ ny tafio-drivotra any atsimo.

And the Lord will be seen over them, and his arrow will go out like the thunder-flame: and the Lord God, sounding the war-horn, will go in the storm-winds of the South.

15 Ary Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hiaro ireny; Dia hihinana ireny ka hanitsakitsaka vaton’ antsamotady; Ary hisotro ireny ka hihorakoraka tahaka ny azon’ ny divay, Ary ho feno toy ny lovia famafazana ireny, dia toy ny zoron’ ny alitara.

The Lord of armies will be a cover for them; and they will overcome, crushing under foot the armed men; they will take their blood for drink like wine: they will be full like the sides of the altar.

16 Ary hovonjen’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ireny amin’ izany andro izany Toy ny olona izay ondriny; Fa ho toy ny vaton-tsatro-boninahitra Mamirapiratra eny amin’ ny taniny ireny.

And the Lord their God will be their saviour in that day, giving them food like the flock of his people: for they will be like the jewels of a crown shining over his land.

17 Fa akory ny hasoany! ary akory ny hatsaran-tarehiny! Vary no hampaharoroka ny zatovo, Ary ranom-boaloboka kosa ny zazavavy.

For how good it is and how beautiful! grain will make the young men strong and new wine the virgins.
