Zakaria 7
1 Aa ie tan-taom-paha-efa’ i Dariavese mpanjakay, le niheo amy Zekarià ty tsara’ Iehovà amy andro fahefa’ ty volam-pahasivey, toe Safary;
And in the fourth yeere of King Darius, the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth moneth, euen in Chisleu,
2 Ie nampañitrifeñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao t’i Sarezere naho i Regemeleke rekets’ o mpiama’eo,
For they had sent vnto the House of God Sharezer, and Regem-melech and their men to pray before the Lord,
3 ninday saontsy amo mpisoroñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà’ i maroio, naho amo mpitokio, ami’ty hoe: Handala hao iraho amy volam-paha-limey, naho hilie-batañe manahake i nanoeko amy taoñe maro rezaiy?
And to speake vnto the Priests, which were in the House of the Lord of hostes, and to the Prophets, saying, Should I weepe in the fift moneth, and separate my selfe as I haue done these so many yeeres?
4 Aa le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Then came the word of the Lord of hostes vnto me, saying,
5 Saontsio ze hene’ ondati’ i taney naho o mpisoroñeo, ty hoe: Ie nililitse naho nandala amy volam-paha-limey naho amy volam-paha-fitoy, i fitompolo taoñe rezay, Izaho hao ty nililira’ areo; Toe amako hao?
Speake vnto all the people of the land, and to the Priests, and say, When ye fasted, and mourned in the fift and seuenth moneth, euen the seuentie yeeres, did ye fast vnto me? doe I approoue it?
6 Ie mikama, naho minoñe, tsy ho anahareo hao ty fikama’ areo naho ho anahareo ty finoma’ areo?
And when ye did eate, and when ye did drinke, did ye not eate for your selues, and drinke for your selues?
7 Tsy izay hao o tsara tsinei’ Iehovà añamo mpitoky taoloo, ie nimoneñañe t’Ierosalaime naho niraorao, ie naho o rova’ nañohok’ azeo, vaho nitobohañe ka i Atimoy naho i Vavataney?
Should ye not heare the wordes, which the Lord hath cryed by the ministerie of the former Prophets when Ierusalem was inhabited, and in prosperitie, and the cities thereof round about her, when the South and the plaine was inhabited?
8 Niheo amy Zekarià ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
And the worde of the Lord came vnto Zechariah, saying,
9 Hoe ty nitsarà’ Iehovà’ i Màroy: Manoa zaka-to naho songa mifampitretreza naho mifanao miroahalahy;
Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, Execute true iudgement, and shewe mercy and compassion, euery man to his brother,
10 ko mamorekeke vantotse, ndra bode-rae, ndra renetane, ndra o rarakeo: ko mifampikinia an-troke.
And oppresse not the widowe, nor the fatherles, the stranger nor the poore, and let none of you imagine euil against his brother in your heart.
11 F’ie nifoneñe tsy hañaoñe, naho nampitolike soroke mandietse, vaho nanjenjen-dravembia tsy hitsanoñe;
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their eares, that they should not heare.
12 mbore, nanoe’ iereo vato mizitse ty tro’ iareo tsy mone hahajanjiñe i Hake, naho o tsara nampisangitrife’ Iehovà am-pità’ o mpitoky taoloo añamy Arofo’ey; aa le nifetsake eo ty haviñerañe jabajaba’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, least they should heare the Lawe and the wordes which the Lord of hostes sent in his spirit by the ministerie of ye former Prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hostes.
13 Ie amy zao, kanao nikanjy re naho tsy nañaoñe iereo, le hikanjy ka iereo vaho tsy ho haoñeko, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy;
Therefore it is come to passe, that as he cried, and they would not heare, so they cried, and I would not heare, sayth the Lord of hostes.
14 le nampibaratsiahako an-tangololahy iereo mb’amo kilakila ondaty tsy apota’ iareoo. Le nihòake i taney nenga’ iereo, naho leo raike tsy nihelohelo ama’e; ie nampangoakoàhe’ iereo i tane fanjàkay.
But I scattered them among all the nations, whom they knew not: thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they layd the pleasant land waste.
