Zekaria 1

1 I KA malama ewalu o ka makahiki elua o Dariu, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Zekaria, ke keiki a Berekia, ke keiki a Ido, ke kaula, i ka i ana mai,

In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

2 Ua ukiuki loa o Iehova i ko oukou poe kupuna.

The LORD hath been greatly displeased with your fathers.

3 Nolaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou nei, Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai nei, E huli mai oukou io'u nei, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, a e huli aku hoi au ia oukou la, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

Therefore say thou to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye to me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn to you, saith the LORD of hosts.

4 Mai noho a like oukou me ko oukou poe kupuna, ka poe a ka poe kaula mua i kahea aku ai, i ka i ana, Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, E huli no oukou mai ka oukou mau aoao hewa mai, a mai ka oukou hana hewa ana hoi; aole nae lakou i hoolohe mai, aole hoi i malama mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.

Be ye not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and [from] your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken to me, saith the LORD.

5 O ko oukou poe kupuna, auhea la lakou? A o ka poe kaula, e ola mau anei lakou?

Your fathers, where [are] they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?

6 Aka, o ka'u mau olelo a me ko'u mau kanawai, a'u i kauoha aku ai i ka'u poe kauwa i ka poe kaula, aole anei i hookoia ua mau mea la i na makua o oukou? A ua huli mai lakou me ka olelo ae, Me ka Iehova o na kaua i manao ai e hana mai ia makou ma ko makou mau aoao a ma ka makou mau hana, pela no ia i hana mai ai ia makou.

But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, As the LORD of hosts thought to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.

7 I ka la iwakaluakumamaha o ka umikumamakahi o ka malama, oia ka malama Sebata, i ka lua o ka makahiki o Dariu, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova i ke kaula ia Zekaria ke keiki a Berekia, ke keiki a Ido, i ka i ana mai,

Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which [is] the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

8 Ua ike au i ka po, aia hoi, he kanaka e noho ana maluna o ka lio ulaula, e ku ana iwaena o na laau mureto ma kahi malumalu, a mahope ona na lio ulaula, kikokiko a keokeo.

I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that [were] in the bottom; and behind him [were there] red horses, speckled, and white.

9 A ninau aku la au, Owai la keia poe, e ka Haku? I mai la ka anela e kamailio ana me au, E hoike aku no au ia oe i keia poe.

Then said I, O my LORD, what [are these]? And the angel that talked with me said to me, I will show thee what these [are].

10 Olelo mai la ke kanaka e ku ana iwaena o na laau mureto, i mai la, O lakou nei ka poe a Iehova i hoouna mai ai e kaahele maluna o ka honua.

And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These [are they] whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

11 Olelo mai la lakou i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana iwaena o na laau mureto, i mai la, Ua kaahele makou i ka honua, aia hoi, ua noho malie, a ua malu hoi ko ka honua a pau.

And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.

12 Alaila, olelo mai la ka anela o Iehova, i mai la, E Iehova o na kaua, Pehea la ka loihi o kou aloha ole mai ia Ierusalema, a me na kulanakauhale o Iuda, au i huhu mai ai i neia mau makahiki he kanahiku?

Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years.

13 Olelo mai la o Iehova i ka anela i kamailio me au i na olelo aloha, a me na olelo hooluolu.

And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me [with] good words [and] comforting words.

14 A o ka anela i kamailio me au, i mai la oia ia'u, penei, E kahea aku oe, i ka i ana aku, Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, ua aloha no au ia Ierusalema a ia Ziona i ke aloha nui.

So the angel that communed with me said to me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

15 A ua huhu loa au i ko na aina e e noho nanea ana; a i kuu wa i huhu uuku ai, kokua aku la lakou i ka hoopilikia ana.

And I am very greatly displeased with the heathen [that are] at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.

16 Nolaila, ke i mai nei o Iehova, Ua hoi hou mai nei au i Ierusalema me ke aloha; e kukuluia ko'u hale iloko ona, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; a e kauia ke kaula-ana maluna o Ierusalema.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.

17 E kahea aku hoi, i ka i ana, Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo ai; Ma ia hope e hoopiha la ia ko'u mau kulanakauhale i ka lokomaikai; a ma ia hope hoi e hooluolu o Iehova ia Ziona, a e wae hoi ia Ierusalema.

Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

18 Alaila alawa ae la ko'u mau maka iluna, ike aku la au, aia hoi, he mau pepeiaohao eha.

Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.

19 Alaila, i aku la au i ka anela i kamailio me au, Heaha keia mau mea? I mai la kela ia'u, Eia na pepeiaohao I hooauhee aku i ka Iuda, i ka Iseraela a me ko Ierusalema.

And I said to the angel that talked with me, What [are] these? And he answered me, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

20 A hoike mai la o Iehova ia'u i na kamena eha.

And the LORD showed me four carpenters.

21 I aku la au, Heaha ka lakou nei e hana'i? I mai la kela, penei, O keia no na pepeiaohao, nana i hooauhee ia Iuda, i hookiekie ole ai kekahi i kona poo; a ua hele mai keia poe e hoomakau ia lakou, a e kipaku aku i na pepeiaohao o ko na aina e, o ka poe hookiekie i ka pepeiaohao maluna o ka aina o ka Iuda e hooauhee aku ai ia ia.

Then said I, What come these to do? And he spoke, saying, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head: but these are come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted [their] horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
