Zakaria 1
1 Niheo amy Zekarià mpitoky ana’ i Berekià ana’Idò amy volam-paha-valo’ i taom-paha-roe’ i Dariavese mpanjakaiy ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2 Niviñetse aman-droae’ areo t’Iehovà.
'Jehovah was wroth against your fathers — wrath!
3 Aa le isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mimpolia amako, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho himpoliako ka, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
And thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, turn back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I turn back unto you, said Jehovah of Hosts.
4 Ko mitsikombe an-droae’ areo, o nitseize’ o mpitoky taoloo ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mifotera amo sata rati’ areoo henane zao, naho amo fitoloña’ areo ratio; f’ie tsy nijanjiñe, tsy nañaoñe ahy, hoe t’Iehovà.
Ye shall not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets called, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Turn back I pray you, From your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they did not hearken, Nor attend to Me — an affirmation of Jehovah.
5 O roae’ areoo! aia iereo? naho o mpitokio, veloñe nainai’e hao?
Your fathers — where [are] they? And the prophets — to the age do they live?
6 Fa o volakoo naho o fañèko nafantoko amo mpitoky mpitorokoo, tsy ie hao ty nahatakatse o roae’ areoo? ie nitolike nanao ty hoe: Toe i nisafirie’ Iehovà’ i Màroy hanoañe ty amo sata’aio naho o fitoloña’aio izay, ty nafetsake ama’ay.
Only, My words, and My statutes, That I commanded My servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers, And they turn back and say: As Jehovah of Hosts designed to do to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He hath done to us?'
7 Ie amy andro faha-roapolo-efats’ ambi’ i volam-paha-folo-raik’ambiy, i volan-katsiha an-taom-paha-roe’ i Dariavesey, le niheo amy Zekarià mpitoky ana’ i Berekià, ana’ Idò ty tsara i’ Iehovà, manao ty hoe:
On the twenty and fourth day of the eleventh month, (it [is] the month of Sebat, ) in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 Niaroñaroñeko amy haleñey, te ingo t’indaty niningitse soavala mena, nijohañe ambane’ ty borodoke an-goledoñe ao, naho amboho’e ty soavala mena naho ty mavo naho ty foty.
I have seen by night, and lo, one riding on a red horse, and he is standing between the myrtles that [are] in the shade, and behind him [are] horses, red, bay, and white.
9 Le hoe iraho, Hoke ry Talè, Inoñe o reroañeo? Aa hoe i ìrake nisaontsy amakoy, Hatoroko azo ty lengo’ iretoañe.
And I say, 'What [are] these, my lord?' And the messenger who is speaking with me saith unto me, 'I — I do shew thee what these [are].'
10 Nanoiñe amy zao indaty nijohañe amo borodokeoy, ami’ty hoe: Ie o nirahe’ Iehovà hañavelo mb’eo mb’eo an-tane atoio.
And the one who is standing between the myrtles doth answer and say, 'These [are] they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk up and down in the land.'
11 Vinale’ iareo ty anjeli’ Iehovà nijohañe amo borodokeo ami’ty hoe: Nanjotike mb’eo mb’eo amy taney zahay, le ingo, mipendreñe i taney vaho mitofa.
And they answer the messenger of Jehovah who is standing between the myrtles, and say, 'We have walked up and down in the land, and lo, all the land is sitting still, and at rest.'
12 Nanoiñe amy zao ty anjeli’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, ombia te ho ferenaiñeñe t’Ierosalaime naho o rova’ Iehodao, o nitorifiha’o i fitompolo taoñe rezaio?
And the messenger of Jehovah answereth and saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts! till when dost Thou not pity Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, that Thou hast abhorred these seventy years?'
13 Tinoi’Iehovà tsara soa i anjely nisaontsy amakoy, tsaran-kanintsiñe.
And Jehovah answereth the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, comfortable words.
14 Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, taroño ty hoe, Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; farahieko t’Ierosalaime naho i Tsione am-parahy ra’elahy.
And the messenger who is speaking with me, saith unto me, 'Call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem, and for Zion [with] great zeal.
15 Loho nahabosek’ ahy o kilakila’ondaty miaiñañoleñañeo; ie ni-bosebosehako avao, fe nindràe’ iareo i hasilofeñey.
And [with] great wrath I am wroth against the nations who are at ease, For I was a little wroth, and they assisted — for evil.
16 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Mimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime am-piferenaiñan-draho; haoreko ao i kivohokoy, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho ho kozozoteñe am’ Ierosalaime ty taly.
Therefore, thus said Jehovah: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And a line is stretched over Jerusalem.
17 Taroño indraike, ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Hitòbake havokarañe indraike i rovakoy; naho mbe ho tretreze’ Iehovà t’i Tsione, vaho mbe ho joboñe’e t’Ierosalaime.
Again call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Again do my cities overflow from good, And Jehovah hath again comforted Zion, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.'
18 Nampiandraeko maso le nahatrea te ingo ty tsifa efatse.
And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four horns.
19 Le hoe iraho amy anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, Inoñ’ o raha zaoo? Le hoe re amako: I tsifa nampiparaitake Iehoda naho Israele vaho Ierosalaime rey.
And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'What [are] these?' And he saith unto me, 'These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.'
20 Natoro’ Iehovà ahy ty mpandranjy efatse.
And Jehovah doth shew me four artisans.
21 Le hoe ty asako: Hitoloñe inoñe t’ie nitotsak’ atoy? Le hoe ty tinaro’e: O tsifa retiañe ty nampivarakaike Iehoda kanao leo ondaty raike tsy nahaongake ty añambone’e; le nivotrak’ atoy i retiañe hañembañe iareo naho handretsake o tsifa’ o kilakila’ ondaty nampitroatse ty tsifa’e an-tane’ Iehoda hampiparatsàke azeo.
And I say, 'What [are] these coming in to do?' And He speaketh, saying: 'These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no one hath lifted up his head, and these come in to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah — to scatter it.'
