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.
“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 Àti Hamati pẹ̀lú yóò ṣe ààlà rẹ̀ Tire àti Sidoni bí o tilẹ̀ ṣe ọlọ́gbọ́n gidigidi.
This declaration also concerns Hamath, which borders on Damascus, and it concerns Tyre and Sidon, for 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.
Tyre has built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver like dust and refined gold like mud in 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.
Look! The Lord will dispossess her and destroy her strength on the sea, so she will be devoured by 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 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 Ọmọ àlè yóò sì gbé inú Aṣdodu, Èmi yóò sì gé ìgbéraga àwọn Filistini kúrò.
Strangers will make their homes 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Ní tìrẹ, nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ, Èmi ó dá àwọn ìgbèkùn rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú ọ̀gbun.
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 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.
Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! Even today I am declaring that I will return double to you,
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
How good and how beautiful they will be! The young men will flourish on grain and the virgins on sweet wine!”
