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; )
The burden of the word of the Lord, in the land of Sedrach, and his sacrifice [shall be] in Damascus; for the Lord looks upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel.
2 naho amy Kamate mpiefetse ama’ey; naho amy Tsore vaho amy Tsidone, amy t’ie mahihitse.
And in Emath, [even] in her coasts, [are] Tyre and Sidon, because they were very wise.
3 Toe namboatse rova fatratse t’i Tsore le nampitoabotse volafoty hoe deboke naho volamena ki’e hoe fotak’ an-damoke.
And Tyrus built strongholds for herself, and heaped up silver as dust, and gathered gold as the mire of the ways.
4 Inao t’ie hampikoahe’ i Talè, havatambia’e mb’ an-driak’ añe ty haozara’e; vaho ho forototoe’ ty afo.
And therefore the Lord will take them for a possession, and will strike her power in the sea; and she shall be consumed with 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.
Ascalon shall see, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Accaron; for she is ashamed at her trespass; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited.
6 Anak’ amontoñe ty hitoboke e Ashdode, vaho haitoako ty fisengea’ o nte-Pilistio.
And aliens shall dwell in Azotus, and I will bring down 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.
And I will take their blood out of their mouth, and their abominations from between their teeth; and these also shall be left to our God, and they shall be as a captain of a thousand in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.
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.
And I will set up a defence for my house, that they may not pass through, nor turn back, neither shall there any more come upon them one to drive them away: for now have I seen with mine 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 Sion; proclaim [it] aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, the King is coming to you, just, and a Saviour; he is meek and riding on an ass, and a young foal.
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 he shall destroy the chariots out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow of war shall be utterly destroyed; and [there shall be] abundance and peace out of the nations; and he shall rule over the waters as far as the sea, and the rivers [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.
And you by the blood of your covenant has sent forth your prisoners out of the pit that has no water.
12 Mimpolia mb’an-drova fatratse mb’ eo, ry mpirohy mitamàñeo; anito ty ho koiheko te hondroheko in-droe o azoo.
You shall dwell in strongholds, you prisoners of the congregation: and for one day of your captivity I will recompense 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 have bent you, O Juda, for myself [as] a bow, I have filled Ephraim; and I will raise up your children, O Sion, against the children of the Greeks, and I will handle you as the sword of a warrior.
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.
And the Lord shall be over them, and [his] arrow shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord Almighty shall blow with the trumpet; and shall proceed with the tumult of his threatening.
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 Almighty shall protect them, and they shall destroy them, and overwhelm them with sling-stones; and they shall swallow them down as wine, and fill the bowls as 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.
And the Lord their God shall save them in that day, [even] his people as a flock; for holy stones are rolled upon his land.
17 Akore ty hafanjàka naho hatsomerentsere’ iareo! Hampiraorao o ajalahio ty ampemba naho o somondrarao ty divai-vao.
For if he has anything good, and if he has anything fair, the young [men shall have] corn, and [there shall be] fragrant wine to the virgins.
