Zechariah 9

1 Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀. Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa kọjú ìjà sí Hadiraki, Damasku ni yóò sì jẹ́ ibi ìsinmi rẹ̀; nítorí ojú Olúwa ń bẹ lára ènìyàn, àti lára gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli.

A word of the Lord: The Lord has come to the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is his resting-place: for the towns of Aram are the Lord's,

2 Àti Hamati pẹ̀lú yóò ṣe ààlà rẹ̀ Tire àti Sidoni bí o tilẹ̀ ṣe ọlọ́gbọ́n gidigidi.

As well as Hamath, which is by its limit, and Tyre and Zidon, because they are very wise.

3 Tire sì mọ odi líle fún ara rẹ̀, ó sì kó fàdákà jọ bí eruku, àti wúrà dáradára bí ẹrẹ̀ ìgboro.

And Tyre made for herself a strong place, and got together silver like dust and the best gold like the earth of the streets.

4 Ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa yóò kó gbogbo ohun ìní rẹ̀ lọ, yóò sì pa agbára rẹ̀ run ní ojú Òkun, a ó sì fi iná jó o run.

See, the Lord will take away her heritage, overturning her power in the sea; and she will be burned up with fire.

5 Aṣkeloni yóò rí í, yóò sì bẹ̀rù; Gasa pẹ̀lú yóò rí í, yóò sì káàánú gidigidi, àti Ekroni: nítorí tí ìrètí rẹ̀ yóò ṣákì í. Gasa yóò pàdánù ọba rẹ̀, Aṣkeloni yóò sì di ahoro.

Ashkelon will see it with fear, and Gaza, bent with pain; and Ekron, for her hope will be shamed: and the king will be cut off from Gaza, and Ashkelon will be unpeopled.

6 Ọmọ àlè yóò sì gbé inú Aṣdodu, Èmi yóò sì gé ìgbéraga àwọn Filistini kúrò.

And a mixed people will be living in Ashdod, and I will have the pride of the Philistines cut off.

7 Èmi yóò sì mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ kúrò ni ẹnu rẹ̀, àti àwọn ohun èèwọ̀ kúrò láàrín eyín rẹ̀: ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tó ṣẹ́kù yóò jẹ́ tí Ọlọ́run wa, wọn yóò sì jẹ baálẹ̀ ní Juda, àti Ekroni ni yóò rí bí Jebusi.

And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.

8 Èmi yóò sì dó yí ilẹ̀ mi ká nítorí ogun àwọn tí wọ́n ń wá ohun tí wọn yóò bàjẹ́ kiri, kò sí aninilára tí yóò bori wọn mọ́: nítorí ni ìsinsin yìí ni mo fi ojú ṣọ́ wọn.

And I will put my forces in position round my house, so that there may be no coming and going: and no cruel master will again go through them: for now I have seen his trouble.

9 Kún fún ayọ̀, ìwọ ọmọbìnrin Sioni, hó ìhó ayọ̀, ìwọ ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu. Wò ó, ọba rẹ ń bọ̀ wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ: òdodo ni òun, ó sì ní ìgbàlà; ó ní ìrẹ̀lẹ̀, ó sì ń gun kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àní ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.

Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.

10 Èmi ó sì gbé kẹ̀kẹ́ kúrò ni Efraimu, àti ẹṣin ogun kúrò ni Jerusalẹmu, a ó sì ṣẹ́ ọrun ogun. Òun yóò sì kéde àlàáfíà sí àwọn kèfèrí. Ìjọba rẹ̀ yóò sì gbilẹ̀ láti Òkun dé Òkun, àti láti odò títí de òpin ayé.

And he will have the war-carriage cut off from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be cut off: and he will say words of peace to the nations: and his rule will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

11 Ní tìrẹ, nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ, Èmi ó dá àwọn ìgbèkùn rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú ọ̀gbun.

And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.

12 Ẹ padà sínú odi agbára yín, ẹ̀yin òǹdè ti o ni ìrètí: àní lónìí yìí èmi sọ pé, èmi o san án fún ọ ni ìlọ́po méjì.

And they will come back to you, O daughter of Zion, as prisoners of hope: today I say to you that I will give you back twice as much;

13 Èmi ó fa Juda le bí mo ṣe fa ọrun mi le, mo sì fi Efraimu kún un, Èmi yóò gbé àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin dìde, ìwọ Sioni, sí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin, ìwọ Giriki, mo ṣe ọ́ bí idà alágbára.

For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.

14 Olúwa yóò sì fi ara hàn ní orí wọn; ọfà rẹ̀ yóò sì jáde lọ bí mọ̀nàmọ́ná. Olúwa Olódùmarè yóò sì fọn ìpè, Òun yóò sì lọ nínú atẹ́gùn ìjì gúúsù.

And the Lord will be seen over them, and his arrow will go out like the thunder-flame: and the Lord God, sounding the war-horn, will go in the storm-winds of the South.

15 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò dáàbò bò wọ́n; wọn ó sì jẹ ni run, wọn ó sì tẹ òkúta kànnàkànnà mọ́lẹ̀; wọn ó sì mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn bí wáìnì, wọn ó sì kún bí ọpọ́n, wọn ó sì rin ṣinṣin bí àwọn igun pẹpẹ.

The Lord of armies will be a cover for them; and they will overcome, crushing under foot the armed men; they will take their blood for drink like wine: they will be full like the sides of the altar.

16 Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn yóò sì gbà wọ́n là ni ọjọ́ náà bí agbo ènìyàn rẹ̀: nítorí wọn ó dàbí àwọn òkúta adé, tí a gbé sókè bí àmì lórí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.

And the Lord their God will be their saviour in that day, giving them food like the flock of his people: for they will be like the jewels of a crown shining over his land.

17 Nítorí oore rẹ̀ tí tóbi tó, ẹwà rẹ̀ sì tí pọ̀! Ọkà yóò mú ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin dárayá, àti ọtí wáìnì tuntun yóò mú àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.

For how good it is and how beautiful! grain will make the young men strong and new wine the virgins.
