Zekariya 12
1 Uthenga wa Yehova kwa Israeli. Yehova, amene amayala mlengalenga, amene amayika maziko a dziko lapansi, ndiponso amene amalenga mzimu wokhala mwa munthu, akunena kuti,
The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 “Taonani, ndidzasandutsa Yerusalemu kukhala chakumwa choledzeretsa chimene chidzasokoneza mitundu yonse ya anthu yomuzungulira. Yuda adzazingidwa pamodzinso ndi Yerusalemu.
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.
3 Pa tsiku limenelo, pamene mitundu yonse ya anthu a dziko lapansi idzasonkhana kulimbana naye, ndidzasandutsa Yerusalemu thanthwe losatheka kusunthidwa ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu. Onse oyesa kumusuntha adzadzipweteka.
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 Pa tsiku limenelo kavalo aliyense ndidzamuchititsa mantha kuti asokonezeke, ndipo wokwerapo wake ndidzamuchititsa misala,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzayangʼanira nyumba ya Yuda koma ndidzachititsa khungu akavalo onse a anthu a mitundu ina.
In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 Pamenepo atsogoleri a Yuda adzayankhula mʼmitima mwawo kuti, ‘Anthu a ku Yerusalemu ndi amphamvu, chifukwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndiye Mulungu wawo.’
And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6 “Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzasandutsa atsogoleri a Yuda kukhala ngati mbawula yotentha pakati pa nkhuni, ngati sakali yoyaka pa mitolo ya tirigu. Adzatentha mitundu yonse ya anthu yowazungulira, kumanja ndi kumanzere, koma Yerusalemu sadzasuntha pa malo ake.
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem.
7 “Yehova adzapulumutsa malo okhala Yuda poyamba, kuti ulemu wa nyumba ya Davide ndi wa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu usapambane ulemu wa Yuda.
The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against Judah.
8 Pa tsiku limenelo Yehova adzatchinjiriza onse okhala mu Yerusalemu, kotero kuti anthu ofowoka kwambiri pakati pawo adzakhala ngati Davide, ndipo nyumba ya Davide idzakhala ngati Mulungu, ngati mngelo wa Yehova wowatsogolera.
In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9 Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzawononga mitundu yonse yofuna kuthira nkhondo Yerusalemu.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 “Ndipo pa nyumba ya Davide ndi pa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu ndidzakhuthulirapo mzimu wachisomo ndi wopemphera. Iwo adzandiyangʼana Ine, amene anamubaya, ndipo adzamulirira kwambiri monga momwe munthu amalirira mwana wake mmodzi yekhayo, ndiponso adzamva chisoni kwambiri monga momwe amachitira ndi mwana woyamba kubadwa.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.
11 Pa tsiku limenelo mudzakhala kulira kwakukulu mu Yerusalemu, monga kulira kwa ku Hadadi-Rimoni ku chigwa cha Megido.
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 Dziko lidzalira kwambiri, fuko lililonse pa lokha, akazi awo pa okhanso: fuko la Davide pamodzi ndi akazi awo, fuko la Natani pamodzi ndi akazi awo,
And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 nyumba ya Levi pamodzi ndi akazi awo, fuko la Simei pamodzi ndi akazi awo,
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 ndiponso mafuko onse pamodzi ndi akazi awo.
All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
