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 oracle of the word of Yahweh on the land of Hadrach, and, Damascus, shall be the resting-place thereof, —For, Yahweh, hath an eye—to mankind, and to all the tribes of Israel;

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

Moreover also, Hamath, adjoineth thereto, Tyre and Zidon, —because 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.

Therefore did Tyre build a stronghold for herself, —and did heap up silver like dust, yea gold, like the mire of the lanes.

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

Lo! My Lord, shall dispossess her, and smite, into the sea, her fortress, —and, she herself, in fire, shall be consumed.

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, and fear, Gaza, also, which shall writhe in great anguish, Ekron, also, because abashed is her expectation, —and the king, shall perish, from Gaza, and, Ashkelon, not be inhabited;

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

And there shall be seated a half-breed in Ashdod, —So will I cut off the arrogance 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 will take away his reeking prey out of his mouth, and his abominations, from between his teeth, but, he that is left, even he, shall belong to our God, —So shall he become as a chief 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.

Then will I encamp about my house—against an army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, neither shall an exactor, tread them down any more, —for, now, have I seen with mine own 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.

Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he, —lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, 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.

So will he cut off the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the war-bow, shall be cut off, So shall he speak peace to the nations, and, his dominion, shall be from sea to sea, and from the river [Euphrates] 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, have I sent forth thy prisoners out of a 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.

Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope, —Even to-day, do I declare—Double, will I return to 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 for me—Judah, As a bow, have I grasped Ephraim, Thus will I rouse up thy sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty one.

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.

But, Yahweh, over them, will appear, and forth shall go, as lightning, his arrow, —Yea, My Lord Yahweh, with a horn, will blow, and will move along in the 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.

Yahweh of hosts, will throw a covering over them, so shall they eat, and trample underfoot sling-stones, and shall drink—shall shout as with wine, —and shall be filled like tossing-bowls, —like the corners of an 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.

So will Yahweh their God, save them, on that day. yea, as a flock of sheep, his people, —for [they shall be like] the jewels of a diadem sparkling 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 excellent it is! Yea how beautiful! Corn, shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
