Sekaryaah 1
1 Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bishii siddeedaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Sekaryaah oo ahaa ina Berekyaah ina Iddo oo nebigii ahaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
In the eighth month, in the second year of [the reign of] Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the prophet, saying,
2 Rabbigu aad buu awowayaashiin ugu cadhooday.
The Lord has been very angry with your fathers.
3 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Ii soo noqda, ayuu Rabbiga ciidammadu leeyahay, oo anna waan idiin soo noqonayaa, ayuu Rabbiga ciidammadu leeyahay.
And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord Almighty: Turn to me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 Ha ahaanina sidii awowayaashiin oo kale, kuwaasoo ahaa kuwii ay nebiyadii hore ku qayliyeen oo ay ku yidhaahdeen, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Hadda ka soo noqda jidadkiinna sharka ah iyo falimihiinna sharka ahba, laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Iyagu ima ay maqlin, oo innaba ima ay dhegaysan.
And be ye not as your fathers, whom the prophets before charged, saying, Thus saith the Lord Almighty: Turn ye from your evil ways, and from your evil practices: but they hearkened not, and attended not to hearken to me, saith the Lord.
5 Bal meeye awowayaashiin? Nebiyaduse miyey weligood iska noolaadaan?
Where are your fathers, and the prophets? Will they live for ever?
6 Laakiinse erayadaydii iyo qaynuunnadaydii aan nebiyadii addoommadayda ahaa ku soo amray, sow ma gaadhin awowayaashiin? Oo iyana intay soo noqdeen ayay yidhaahdeen, Rabbiga ciidammadu siduu ku fikiray inuu nagu sameeyo, siday jidadkayagu ahaayeen, iyo siday falimahayagu ahaayeen ayuu nagu sameeyey.
But do ye receive my words and mine ordinances, all that I command by my Spirit to my servants the prophets, who lived in the days of your fathers; and they answered and said, As the Lord Almighty determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so has he done to us.
7 Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii labaad, bisheedii kow iyo tobnaad, taasoo ah bisha Shebaad maalinteedii afar iyo labaatanaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Sekaryaah oo ahaa ina Berekyaah ina Iddo oo nebigii ahaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
On the twenty-fourth [day] in the eleventh month, this is the month Sabat, in the second year of [the reign of] Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the prophet, saying,
8 Habeenkii waxaan arkay oo ii muuqday nin faras xamar ah fuushan, oo wuxuu dhex istaagay geedaha hadaaska la yidhaahdo oo meel hoos leh ku yiil, oo gadaashiisana waxaa joogay fardo kale oo midabkoodu yahay xamar iyo midab dibicyo leh iyo caddaan.
I saw by night, and behold a man mounted on a red horse, and he stood between the shady mountains; and behind him were red horses, and grey, and piebald, and white.
9 Markaasaan idhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, waa maxay kuwanu? Markaasaa malaggii ila hadlay igu yidhi, Anigaa ku tusi doona waxa kuwanu yihiin.
And I said, What are these, [my] lord? And the angel spoke with me said to me, I will shew thee what these [things] are.
10 Oo ninkii geedaha hadaaska ah dhex taagnaa ayaa jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Kuwanu waa kuwii Rabbigu u diray inay dhulka hore iyo dib u dhex maraan.
And the man that stood between the mountains answered, and said to me, These are [they] whom the Lord has sent forth to go round the earth.
11 Oo iyana waxay u jawaabeen malaggii Rabbiga oo geedaha hadaaska ah dhex taagnaa oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Dhulkii hore iyo dibba waannu u dhex marnay, oo bal eeg, dhulkii oo dhammu wuu deggan yahay oo wuu xasilloon yahay.
And they answered the angel of the Lord that stood between the mountains, and said, We have gone round all the earth, and, behold, all the earth is inhabited, and is at rest.
12 Markaasaa malaggii Rabbigu jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiga ciidammadow, ilaa goormaadan u naxariisanayn Yeruusaalem iyo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah, kuwaasoo aad toddobaatan sannadood u cadhaysnayd?
Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord Almighty, how long wilt thou have no mercy on Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, which thou has disregarded these seventy years?
13 Markaasaa Rabbigu malaggii ila hadlay ugu jawaabay erayo wanaagsan oo qabow.
And the Lord Almighty answered the angel that spoke with me good words and consolatory sayings.
14 Kolkaasaa malaggii ila hadlay igu yidhi, War qayli, oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu Yeruusaalem iyo Siyoonba waxaan ugu masayrsanahay masayr weyn.
And the angel that spoke with me said to me, Cry out and say, Thus saith the Lord Almighty; I have been jealous for Jerusalem and Sion with great jealousy.
15 Oo aad iyo aad baan ugu cadhooday quruumaha iska istareexsan! Waayo, anigoo in yar u cadhaysan ayay sii badiyeen dhibaatadii.
And I am very angry with the heathen that combine to attack [her]: forasmuch as I indeed was a little angry, but they combined to attack [her] for evil.
16 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Yeruusaalem ayaan naxariis kula soo noqday. Oo Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Gurigayga waa laga dhisi doonaa dhexdeeda, oo Yeruusaalem korkeeda waxaa lagu fidin doonaa xadhig qiyaaseed.
Therefore thus saith the Lord: I will return to Jerusalem with compassion; and my house shall be rebuilt in her, saith the Lord Almighty, and a measuring line shall yet be stretched out over Jerusalem.
17 Oo haddana qayli oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Magaalooyinkaygu mar kalay barwaaqo la faafi doonaan, oo Rabbigu mar kaluu Siyoon u qalbi qaboojin doonaa, oo mar kaluu Yeruusaalem dooran doonaa.
And the angel that spoke with me said to me, Cry yet, and say, Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Yet shall cities be spread abroad through prosperity; and the Lord shall yet have mercy upon Sion, and shall choose Jerusalem.
18 Oo indhahaygii baan kor u qaaday, oo wax baan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay afar gees.
And I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold four horns.
19 Oo anna waxaan malaggii ila hadlay ku idhi, Waa maxay kuwanu? Oo isna wuxuu iigu jawaabay, Kuwanu waa geesihii kala firdhiyey dadkii dalka Yahuudah iyo dadkii dalka Israa'iil iyo Yeruusaalemba.
And I said to the angel that spoke with me, What are these things, [my] lord? And he said to me, These are the horns that have scattered Juda, and Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu i tusay afar tumaal.
And the Lord shewed me four artificers.
21 Kolkaasaan idhi, Kuwanu maxay u yimaadeen inay sameeyaan? Oo isna wuu hadlay oo wuxuu yidhi, Kuwanu waa geesihii kala firdhiyey dadkii dalka Yahuudah si aan ninna madaxiisa ugu qaadin aawadeed. Laakiinse kuwanu waxay haatan u yimaadeen inay ka argaggixiyaan, oo ay hoos u tuuraan quruumaha geesahooda kor ugu qaaday dalka Yahuudah inay kala firdhiyaan.
And I said, What are these coming to do? And he said, These are the horns that scattered Juda, and they broke Israel in pieces, and none of them lifted up his head: and these are come forth to sharpen them for their hands, [even] the four horns, the nations that lifted up the horn against the land of the Lord to scatter it.
