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 ―

The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel; )

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

and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be 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 hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire 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.

Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured 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 shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

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

And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines;

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 out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

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 encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.

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.

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an 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 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 unto the nations; and his dominion shall 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.

As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein 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.

Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.

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 bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man.

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 Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds 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.

Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners 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 Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon 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 great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
