Zakkaariyaas 9
1 Raajiin dubbii Waaqayyoo biyya Hadraakitti ni dhufa; Damaasqoo irras ni buʼa; iji namoota hundaa fi gosoota Israaʼel hundaa gara Waaqayyo ni ilaalaatii;
“This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning the land of Hadrak and Damascus, its resting place; for the eyes of all humanity and all the tribes of Israel are toward Yahweh.
2 akkasumas gara Hamaati ishee daangaa irraa, isaan ogeeyyii taʼan iyyuu gara Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaas ni ilaala.
This declaration also concerns Hamath, which borders on Damascus, and it concerns Tyre and Sidon, for they are very wise.
3 Xiiroos daʼannoo jabaa ijaarratteerti; meetii akka awwaaraatti, warqees akkuma kosii daandii irraatti tuullateerti.
Tyre has built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver like dust and refined gold like mud in the streets.
4 Gooftaan garuu qabeenya ishee irraa fuudhee humna ishee galaana irratti barbadeessa; isheenis ibiddaan dhumti.
Look! The Lord will dispossess her and destroy her strength on the sea, so she will be devoured by fire.
5 Ashqaloon waan kana argitee ni sodaatti; Gaazaan immoo dhukkubsattee aaddi; Eqroonis akkasuma taati; abdiin ishee coollageeraatii. Gaazaan mootii ishee ni dhabdi; Eqroonis ontee hafti.
Ashkelon will see and be afraid! Gaza also will tremble greatly! Ekron, her hopes will be disappointed! The king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall no longer be inhabited!
6 Namoonni ormaa Ashdoodin ni qabatu; anis of tuulummaa Filisxeemotaa nan balleessa.
Strangers will make their homes in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 Ani dhiiga afaan isaanii keessa jiru, nyaata dhowwames ilkaan isaanii gidduudhaa nan baasa. Warri hafanis kan Waaqa keenyaa taʼanii Yihuudaa keessattis bulchitoota taʼu; Eqroon immoo akka warra Yebuusotaa ni taati.
For I will remove their blood from their mouths and their abominations from between their teeth. Then they will become a remnant for our God like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will become like the Jebusites.
8 Ani garuu loltuu cabsitee seentu mana koo irraa nan dhowwa. Lammata hacuuccuun saba koo irra hin burraaqxu; ani amma dammaqee nan eegaatii.
I will camp around my land against enemy armies, so no one can pass through or return, for no oppressor will overrun them, for now I see with my own eyes!
9 Yaa Intala Xiyoon ati guddisii gammadi! Yaa Intala Yerusaalem iyyi! Kunoo mootiin kee qajeelaan, fayyina qabatee, gad of qabee harree yaabbatee, ilmoo harree jechuunis harree xinnoo yaabbatee gara kee dhufaa jira.
Shout with great joy, daughter of Zion! Shout with happiness, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold! Your king is coming to you with righteousness and is rescuing you. He is humble and is riding on a donkey, on the colt of a donkey.
10 Ani gaariiwwan lolaa Efreem keessaa, fardeen lolaas Yerusaalem keessaa nan balleessa; iddaan waraanaas ni caccaba. Inni sabootatti nagaa ni labsa; bulchiinsi isaa galaana tokkoo irraa hamma galaana biraatti, Laga Efraaxiisiitii hamma daarii lafaatti balʼata.
Then I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow will be cut off from battle; for he will speak peace to the nations, and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!
11 Siʼi immoo, sababii dhiiga kakuu ani si wajjin qabuutiif hidhamtoota kee ani boolla bishaan hin qabne keessaa baasee gad nan dhiisa.
As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the pit where there is no water.
12 Yaa hidhamtoota abdii qabdan, daʼannoo keessanitti deebiʼaa; ani ammas harka lama godhee isiniif nan deebisa.
Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! Even today I am declaring that I will return double to you,
13 Ani akkan iddaa koo dabsadhutti Yihuudaa dabsee Efreem keessa nan guuta. Yaa Xiyoon, ani ilmaan kee ilmaan Giriikitti nan kaasa; siʼi immoo akka goraadee goota tokkoo nan godhadha.
for I have bent Judah as my bow. I have filled my quiver with Ephraim. I have roused your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and have made you, Zion, like a warrior's sword!”
14 Waaqayyo isaan irratti ni mulʼata; xiyyi isaa akka bakakkaa ni balaqqisa. Waaqayyo Gooftaan malakata ni afuufa; inni bubbee kibbaatiin deema;
Yahweh will appear to them, and his arrows will shoot out like lightning! For my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet and will advance with the storms from Teman.
15 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isaan eega. Isaan dhagaa furrisaatiin barbadeessanii moʼatu. Isaan akkuma daadhii wayinii dhuganii akkuma waciitii ittiin golee iddoo aarsaatti facaasaniitti ni guutamu.
Yahweh of hosts will defend them, and they will devour them and defeat the stones of the slings. Then they will drink and shout like men drunk on wine, and they will be filled with wine like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
16 Akkuma tikseen bushaayee isaa oolchu sana, Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii gaafas saba isaa ni oolcha. Isaan akkuma faaya gonfoo irraatti biyya isaa keessatti ni calaqqisu.
So Yahweh their God will rescue them on that day, as the flock of his people. They are the jewels of a crown that will shine on his land.
17 Isaan akkam nama hawwatu! Akkamis miidhagu! Midhaan dargaggoota, daadhiin wayinii haaraan immoo shamarran jajjabeessa.
How good and how beautiful they will be! The young men will flourish on grain and the virgins on sweet wine!”
