Zakaria 8
1 Inao ty nitsara’ Iehovà’ i Màroy:
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came to me, saying,
2 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Farahieko ty Tsione, am-parahy miloroloro, vaho farahieko am-pifombo mandofiry.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.
3 Hoe t’Iehovà: Himpoly mb’e Tsione mb’eo iraho vaho himoneñako ty añivo’ Ierosalaime ao; le hatao ty hoe rovan-katò t’Ierosalaime; naho Haboañe Miavake ty vohi’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Thus says Jehovah: I am returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth, and the mountain of Jehovah of hosts, The holy mountain.
4 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Mbe ho tendreke te hiambesatse an-tamea’ Ierosalaime ao o androanavio naho o rakemba beio, songa mitoñoñe kobay am-pità’e ty amy ha’antera’ey.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
5 Le ho lifotse ajalahy naho ampela o kiririsa’ i rovaio mihisa an-kiririsan-drova ao.
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets of it.
6 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Aa kanao fanjàka am-pihaino’ o sehanga’ ondaty retoañeo izay amy àndroy, tsy ho fanjàka a’ masoko ao ka hao? hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes? says Jehovah of hosts.
7 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Oniño te ho rombaheko amy tane atiñanañe añey naho amy tane ahandrefañe añey ondatikoo;
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country.
8 hampoliko mb’etoa, le himoneña’ iareo ty añivo’ Ierosalaime ao; h’ondatiko iereo vaho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo an-katò naho an-kavantañan-draho.
And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
9 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Haozaro o fità’ areoo, ry mahajanjiñe o tsaraem-palie’ o mpitoky tañ’ andro nampijadoñañe ty fahan’ anjomba’ Iehovà’ i Màroy amo andro rezaoo, soa te hamboareñe i kivohoy.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
10 Ie taolo’ i andro rezay, tsy teo ty nañarama’ ondaty, tsy teo ty nampitoloñe hàre; vaho tsy nierañerañe ty niavotse ndra ty nimoake ty amy faloviloviañey; ie nampifandiereko an-drañe’e ondatio.
For before those days there was no wage for man, nor any wage for beast, nor was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men each one against his neighbor.
11 F’ie henane zao tsy hanahake tamo andro taoloo amo sehanga’ ondaty retoañe, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days, says Jehovah of hosts.
12 Fa hanintsiñe o tabirio, hamokatse o vaheo, hakare’ i taney o nampitomboe’eo naho hatolo’ i likerañey o zono’eo; vaho hampandovàko ty sehanga’ ondatikoo i hene rezay.
For there shall be the seed of peace. The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
13 Ho tondrok’ amy zay te manahake ty naha-fokom-patse amo kilakila’ ondatio nahareo, ry anjomba’ Iehodà naho ry anjomba’ Israeleo, t’ie ho rombaheko, le ho fitahiañe; ko hembañe fa hafatraro o fità’oo.
And it shall come to pass that, as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and ye shall be a blessing. Fear not. Let your hands be strong.
14 Aa hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Hambañe amy nisafiriako hanao raty ama’ areoy, ie nanigìk’ ahy o rae’ areoo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho tsy niheveako,
For thus says Jehovah of hosts: As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, says Jehovah of hosts, and I did not relent,
15 ty nisafirieko henane zao ty hanao soa am’ Ierosalaime naho amy akiba’ Iehoday: ko mangebahebake.
so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Fear ye not.
16 Inao o hanoe’ areoo: songa mifanaontsia an-katò; mizakà an-kavantañañe naho am-pilongoañe an-dalambei’ areo eo;
These are the things that ye shall do: Speak ye every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates.
17 ko mifampikilily añ’arofo; ko inae’ areo ty fanta vilañe; fa hejeko iaby izay, hoe t’Iehovà.
And let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath. For all these are things that I hate, says Jehovah.
18 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, nanao ty hoe:
And the word of Jehovah of hosts came to me, saying,
19 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ty lilitse amy volam-paha-efatsey, naho ty lilitse amy faha-limey, naho ty lilitse amy faha-fitoy, vaho ty lilitse amy faha-foloy, le ho firebehañe naho haravoañe vaho famantañan-kafaleañe añ’akiba’ Iehodà ao; aa le kokò ty hatò naho ty fifampilongoañe.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah, joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.
20 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ho tondroke te hivotrake eo ondaty mitozantozañeo naho ty mpimoneñe boak’ an-drova maro;
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, and the inhabitants of many cities.
21 le hitotsak’ ami’ty raike o mpimoneñe ami’ty ila’eo, hanao ty hoe: Antao hipay falalàñe am’ Iehovà naho hitsoeke Iehovà’ i Màroy; homb’eo ka iraho.
And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of hosts. I will go also.
22 Toe maro t’indaty, naho fifeheañe maozatse ty homb’ atoy hipay Iehovà’ i Màroy e Ierosalaime ao, naho hihalaly fañisohañe am’ Iehovà.
Yea, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Jehovah.
23 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: ie amy andro zay, le ho rambese’ t’indaty folo boak’ amy ze hene’ fisaontsi’ o kilalila’ ondatio, eka ho fihine’ iereo ty saro’ ty nte-Iehodà, hanao ty hoe: Hindre ama’o zahay fa jinanji’ay te mitraok’ama’ areo t’i Andrianañahare.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts: In those days, ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they shall take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.
