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.

The burden of the word of Yhwh in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward Yhwh.

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

And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyre, and Sidon, though it be 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 did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire 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.

Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured 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 shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

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

And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

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 out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

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 encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

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.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon a donkey, and upon a colt the foal of a donkey.

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 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even 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.

As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein 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.

Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

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.

When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

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 Yhwh shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord Yhwh shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds 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.

Yhwh of Armies shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners 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 Yhwh their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon 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 great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
