Zakaria 9
1 Fetse; miatrek’ an-tane’ i Hadrake mpitofa e Damesèke, ty tsara’ Iehovà; (mitolik’ am’ Iehovà ty fihaino’ ondatio naho ze hene’ fifokoa’Israele; )
This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and Damascus its resting place— for the eyes of men and of all the tribes of Israel are upon the LORD —
2 naho amy Kamate mpiefetse ama’ey; naho amy Tsore vaho amy Tsidone, amy t’ie mahihitse.
and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd.
3 Toe namboatse rova fatratse t’i Tsore le nampitoabotse volafoty hoe deboke naho volamena ki’e hoe fotak’ an-damoke.
Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
4 Inao t’ie hampikoahe’ i Talè, havatambia’e mb’ an-driak’ añe ty haozara’e; vaho ho forototoe’ ty afo.
Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
5 Hahaisake zay ty Askelone vaho hiria-kolitse, hangirifiry ka t’i Azà, naho i Ekrone ty amy fitamà’e nilesay; hihomake ty mpanjaka’ i Azà le tsy ho amam-pimoneñe ty Askelone.
Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
6 Anak’ amontoñe ty hitoboke e Ashdode, vaho haitoako ty fisengea’ o nte-Pilistio.
A mixed race will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 Hafahako am-bava’e ao ty lio’e naho an-tsifim-pamotsi’e ao o raha mampangorìñeo; fa o sehanga’eo ty ho an’ Andrianañaharen-tika, ie ty hanoeñe mpiaolo e Iehodà ao, vaho hanahake ty nte-Iebose t’i Ekrone.
I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abominations from between their teeth. Then they too will become a remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
8 Hitobe am-piarikatoha’ i kivohokoy raho ty amo lahindefoñeo, ty amy miary eo naho mibalike vaho tsy hisoroha’ ty mpamorekeke ka, fa ho jilove’ o masokoo henane zao.
But I will camp around My house because of an army, because of those who march to and fro, and never again will an oppressor overrun My people, for now I keep watch with My own eyes.
9 Mandià taroba ry anak’ampela’ i Tsione, mipoñafa ry anak’ ampela’ Ierosalaime; Hehe te mitotsak’ ama’o ty Mpanjaka’o, Vantan-dre, reketse fandrombahañe, mirèke, miningitse borìke, ambone’ ty fola-bao, ana’ty borìke vave’e.
Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 Le hapitsoko amy Efraime ty sarete, naho am’ Ierosalaime ty soavala, naho ho pozaheko o fàlen-kotakotakeo; ie hitsara fampilongoañe amo kilakila’ ondatio, vaho hitakatse an-driake ey pak’ an-driak’ añe i fifehea’ey, naho boak’amy Sakay añe pak’ añ’ olo-ty tane toy.
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
11 Le ihe, ty amy lio’ i fañina ama’oiy, hampiavoteko boak’ an-koboñe tsy aman-drano ao o azo an-drohio.
As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12 Mimpolia mb’an-drova fatratse mb’ eo, ry mpirohy mitamàñeo; anito ty ho koiheko te hondroheko in-droe o azoo.
Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double.
13 Ampivohoreko hoe te faleko t’Iehodà, atsafeko amy faley ty Efraime; naho ho troboeko o ana’oo ry Tsione, hatreatré’e o ana’oo ry Iavane, ie hampanahafeko amy fibaram-panalolahiy.
For I will bend Judah as My bow and fit it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
14 Ho oniñe ambone’ iereo eo t’Iehovà, naho hihiririñe hoe helatse i ana-pale’ey; ho tiofe’ Iehovà, Talè i antsivay, vaho hijoñe an-tangololahi’ i atimoy.
Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.
15 Ie harova’ Iehovà’ i Màroy; le hampibotseke iereo handialia o vato-piletseo; hìnoñe iereo naho hiroharoha hoe an-divay; hatsafeñe hoe an-tsoakazo, kotsa hoe an-kotso’ i kitreliy eo.
The LORD of Hosts will shield them. They will destroy and conquer with slingstones; they will drink and roar as with wine. And they will be filled like sprinkling bowls, drenched like the corners of the altar.
16 Handrombake iareo amy andro zay t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo ho lia-rai’ ondati’eo, ho vatosoan-tsabaka’e, mimilemiletse an-tane’e eo.
On that day the LORD their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like jewels in a crown they will sparkle over His land.
17 Akore ty hafanjàka naho hatsomerentsere’ iareo! Hampiraorao o ajalahio ty ampemba naho o somondrarao ty divai-vao.
How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.
