< Zekaria 12 >
1 Hili ni neno la Bwana kuhusu Israeli. Bwana, yeye azitandaye mbingu, awekaye misingi ya dunia na aiumbaye roho ya mwanadamu ndani yake, asema:
λῆμμα λόγου κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ λέγει κύριος ἐκτείνων οὐρανὸν καὶ θεμελιῶν γῆν καὶ πλάσσων πνεῦμα ἀνθρώπου ἐν αὐτῷ
2 “Nitakwenda kufanya Yerusalemu kuwa kikombe cha kuyumbisha mataifa yote yanayoizunguka. Yuda utazingirwa kwa vita na Yerusalemu pia.
ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν Ιερουσαλημ ὡς πρόθυρα σαλευόμενα πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς κύκλῳ καὶ ἐν τῇ Ιουδαίᾳ ἔσται περιοχὴ ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ
3 Katika siku hiyo, wakati mataifa yote ya dunia yatakapokusanyika dhidi yake, nitaufanya Yerusalemu kuwa jabali lisilosogezwa kwa mataifa yote. Wote watakaojaribu kulisogeza watajiumiza wenyewe.
καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ θήσομαι τὴν Ιερουσαλημ λίθον καταπατούμενον πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν πᾶς ὁ καταπατῶν αὐτὴν ἐμπαίζων ἐμπαίξεται καὶ ἐπισυναχθήσονται ἐπ’ αὐτὴν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς
4 Katika siku hiyo nitampiga kila farasi kwa hofu ya ghafula, naye ampandaye nitampiga kwa uwazimu,” asema Bwana. “Nitalielekeza jicho langu la ulinzi juu ya nyumba ya Yuda, nami nitawapofusha farasi wote wa mataifa.
ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ πατάξω πάντα ἵππον ἐν ἐκστάσει καὶ τὸν ἀναβάτην αὐτοῦ ἐν παραφρονήσει ἐπὶ δὲ τὸν οἶκον Ιουδα διανοίξω τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἵππους τῶν λαῶν πατάξω ἐν ἀποτυφλώσει
5 Kisha viongozi wa Yuda watasema mioyoni mwao, ‘Watu wa Yerusalemu wana nguvu kwa sababu Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote ni Mungu wao.’
καὶ ἐροῦσιν οἱ χιλίαρχοι Ιουδα ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν εὑρήσομεν ἑαυτοῖς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιερουσαλημ ἐν κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι θεῷ αὐτῶν
6 “Katika siku hiyo nitawafanya viongozi wa Yuda kuwa kama kigae cha moto ndani ya lundo la kuni, kama mwenge uwakao kati ya miganda. Watateketeza kulia na kushoto mataifa yote yanayowazunguka, lakini Yerusalemu utabaki salama mahali pake.
ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ θήσομαι τοὺς χιλιάρχους Ιουδα ὡς δαλὸν πυρὸς ἐν ξύλοις καὶ ὡς λαμπάδα πυρὸς ἐν καλάμῃ καὶ καταφάγονται ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων πάντας τοὺς λαοὺς κυκλόθεν καὶ κατοικήσει Ιερουσαλημ ἔτι καθ’ ἑαυτήν
7 “Bwana atayaokoa makao ya Yuda kwanza, ili heshima ya nyumba ya Daudi na wakazi wa Yerusalemu isiwe kubwa zaidi kuliko ile ya Yuda.
καὶ σώσει κύριος τὰ σκηνώματα Ιουδα καθὼς ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς ὅπως μὴ μεγαλύνηται καύχημα οἴκου Δαυιδ καὶ ἔπαρσις τῶν κατοικούντων Ιερουσαλημ ἐπὶ τὸν Ιουδαν
8 Katika siku hiyo, Bwana atawakinga wale waishio Yerusalemu, ili kwamba aliye dhaifu kupita wote miongoni mwao awe kama Daudi, nayo nyumba ya Daudi itakuwa kama Mungu, kama Malaika wa Bwana akiwatangulia.
καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὑπερασπιεῖ κύριος ὑπὲρ τῶν κατοικούντων Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἀσθενῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὡς οἶκος Δαυιδ ὁ δὲ οἶκος Δαυιδ ὡς οἶκος θεοῦ ὡς ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν
9 Katika siku hiyo nitatoka kuangamiza mataifa yote yatakayoshambulia Yerusalemu.
καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ζητήσω τοῦ ἐξᾶραι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπερχόμενα ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ
10 “Nami nitamiminia nyumba ya Daudi na wakazi wa Yerusalemu roho ya neema na maombi. Watanitazama mimi, yule waliyemchoma. Nao watamwombolezea kama mtu anayemwombolezea mwanawe wa pekee na kusikitika kwa uchungu kama anayemsikitikia mzaliwa wake wa kwanza wa kiume.
καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Δαυιδ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιερουσαλημ πνεῦμα χάριτος καὶ οἰκτιρμοῦ καὶ ἐπιβλέψονται πρός με ἀνθ’ ὧν κατωρχήσαντο καὶ κόψονται ἐπ’ αὐτὸν κοπετὸν ὡς ἐπ’ ἀγαπητὸν καὶ ὀδυνηθήσονται ὀδύνην ὡς ἐπὶ πρωτοτόκῳ
11 Katika siku hiyo kilio kitakuwa kikubwa Yerusalemu, kama kilio cha Hadad-Rimoni katika tambarare ya Megido.
ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ μεγαλυνθήσεται ὁ κοπετὸς ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὡς κοπετὸς ῥοῶνος ἐν πεδίῳ ἐκκοπτομένου
12 Nchi itaomboleza, kila ukoo peke yake, nao wake zao peke yao. Ukoo wa nyumba ya Daudi na wake zao, ukoo wa nyumba ya Nathani na wake zao,
καὶ κόψεται ἡ γῆ κατὰ φυλὰς φυλάς φυλὴ καθ’ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ’ ἑαυτάς φυλὴ οἶκου Δαυιδ καθ’ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ’ ἑαυτάς φυλὴ οἴκου Ναθαν καθ’ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ’ ἑαυτάς
13 ukoo wa nyumba ya Lawi na wake zao, ukoo wa Shimei na wake zao,
φυλὴ οἴκου Λευι καθ’ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ’ ἑαυτάς φυλὴ τοῦ Συμεων καθ’ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ’ ἑαυτάς
14 na koo zote zilizobaki na wake zao.
πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ αἱ ὑπολελειμμέναι φυλὴ καθ’ ἑαυτὴν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καθ’ ἑαυτάς
