Zakkaariyaas 12
1 Kun raajii dubbii Waaqayyo waaʼee Israaʼel dubbatuu dha. Waaqayyo samiiwwan diriirse, inni hundee lafaa buuse, inni nama keessatti hafuura namaa uume sun akkana jedha:
This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning Israel—a declaration of Yahweh, who stretched out the skies and laid the foundation of the earth, who fashions the spirit of mankind within man,
2 “Ani Yerusaalemin namoota naannoo ishee jiraatan hundatti xoofoo gatantarsu nan godha. Yihuudaan akkuma Yerusaalem marfamtee ni qabamti.
“See, I am about to make Jerusalem into a cup causing all the peoples surrounding her to stagger about. It will also be like that for Judah during the siege against Jerusalem.
3 Gaafas, yeroo saboonni lafaa hundi isheen mormuudhaan walitti qabamanitti, ani Yerusaalemin saboota hundatti kattaa hin sochoofamne nan godha. Warri ishee sochoosuu yaalan hundi of miidhu.
On that day, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. Anyone trying to lift that stone will hurt himself very much, and all the nations of the earth will gather against that city.
4 Gaafas ani fardeen hunda nan naasisa; isa yaabbatus nan maraacha” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani Yihuudaa eeguuf ija koo nan banadha; ija fardeen saboota hundaa garuu nan jaamsa.
On that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will strike every horse with confusion and its rider with madness. Over the house of Judah I will open my eyes, but every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness.
5 Ergasii hangafoonni Yihuudaa garaa isaaniitti, ‘Jiraatonni Yerusaalem sababii Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Waaqa isaanii taʼeef jajjaboo dha’ jedhu.
Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are our strength because of Yahweh of hosts, their God.'
6 “Ani gaafas hangafoota Yihuudaa badaa ibiddaa tuullaa qoraanii keessaa, akkuma guca ibiddaa bissii keessaa nan godha. Isaan saboota naannoo isaanii kanneen mirgaa fi bitaan jiran hunda ni barbadeessu; Yerusaalem garuu utuu hin miidhamin iddoodhuma isheetti hafti.
On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like firepots among wood and like a flaming torch among standing grain, for they will consume all the surrounding peoples on their right and on their left. Jerusalem will again live in her own place.”
7 “Waaqayyo akka ulfinni mana Daawitii fi jiraattota Yerusaalem ulfina Yihuudaa hin caalleef duraan dursee iddoo jireenya Yihuudaa ni baraara.
Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and the honor of those who live in Jerusalem may not be greater than the rest of Judah.
8 Gaafas Waaqayyo jiraattota Yerusaalemiif ni qolata; guyyaa sana isaan keessaa inni dadhabaan akka Daawit taʼa; manni Daawitis akka Waaqaa, akka ergamaa Waaqayyoo isa isaan dura deemuu ni taʼa.
On that day Yahweh will be the defender of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on that day those who are weak among them will be like David, while the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh in front of them.
9 Ani gaafas saboota Yerusaalem lolan hunda balleessuuf nan baʼa.
“On that day that I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 “Ani mana Daawitii fi jiraattota Yerusaalem irratti hafuura surraatii fi kadhannaa nan dhangalaasa. Isaan ana isa waraanan sana ni ilaalu; isaan akkuma nama ilma tokkichaaf booʼuutti ni booʼuuf; akkuma nama ilma hangafaaf baayʼisee gadduuttis ni gadduuf.
But I will pour out a spirit of compassion and pleading on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so they will look on me, the one they have pierced. They will mourn for me, as one mourns for an only son; they will bitterly lament for him like those who lament the death of a firstborn son.
11 Gaafas booʼichi Yerusaalem keessaa akkuma booʼicha dirree Megidoonitti Hadaad Rimooniif booʼame sanaa guddaa taʼa.
On that day the laments in Jerusalem will be like the laments at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
12 Biyyattiin ni boossi; tokkoon tokkoon balbalaas niitota isaanii wajjin ofii isaaniitiif ni booʼu; balballi mana Daawitii fi niitonni isaanii, balballi mana Naataaniitii fi niitonni isaanii,
The land will mourn, each clan separate from other clans. The clan of the house of David will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the house of Nathan will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.
13 balballi mana Lewwii fi niitonni isaanii, balballi Shimeʼiitii fi niitonni isaanii,
The clan of the house of Levi will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the Shimeites will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.
14 balbalawwan hafan hundii fi niitonni isaanii ni booʼu.
Every clan of the remaining clans—each clan will be separate and the wives will be separate from the men.”
